All right, the TD F1 Championship results are in!
dg42.net/TDF1/race-results.php?race=18
The winner of the 2026 TD F1 US GP is auisssa, for his third win of the season and his fifth podium!
Fillling out the podium, in P2 we have jefforize for his second podium, and in P3 we have TouchedTheAxeIn82 for his third podium.
Here's the championship table: dg42.net/TDF1/index.php
And we have a new championship leader! With his race win, auisssa has jumped from P3 to P1 in the standings!
This is my ideal scenario, a tight battle near the end of the season! auisssa and WAY2GOLSU are now tied on points, but auisssa has the edge because of three race wins vs one.
TouchedTheAxeIn82 and bikerack have swapped championship positions in P7 and P8. bikerack was previously two points ahead, but with P3 and P4 race finishes, TouchedTheAxeIn82 is now one point ahead of bikerack.
With his P2 race finish, jefforize has jumped from P13 to P9 in the championship.

Reports this morning that Ollie Bearman is requesting 6 million euros a year to resign with Haas and Haas doesn’t want to pay that much. Supposedly negotiations have cooled off.

That's hilarious. What leverage does he have? He has earned the bulk of the points for Haas this year, but if he elevated them a couple of spots in the constructor standings, is that worth more than what he's asking? Maybe. The problem for Ollie of course is that there are very few seats up for grabs. The VCARB seats are not confirmed, but there is zero chance they would hire Ollie. If he wants to drive, he'll probably have to suck it up for now.

BBC article on FIA engine proposal
quote:
However, the FIA has moved away from its initial proposal to return to naturally aspirated engines.
The stated aim of the new rules is to introduce lighter, more responsive cars, increased emphasis on driver skill, relevant technologies, reduced cost, to make it easier for new manufacturers to enter F1 and to continue with the sport's commitment to reducing emissions.
quote:
The FIA document proposes a V8 engine with a capacity of between 2-2.3-litres with a smaller turbo running at reduced boost pressure and a less powerful hybrid system.
The electrical motor would have a recovery capacity of 200kW compared to the current 350kW.
The idea is for 100kW (134bhp) of this to be available at all times, with a further 100kW to be used for a push-to-pass or overtake mode.
The rest of the total power output of in the region of 900bhp will be provided by the internal combustion engine.

I'm perfectly fine with turbos. I'm also generally fine with hybrids. Just need to tone it down some. 200kW seems okay. I also think it should be a choice. Like, you get like 600 kW max, and it doesn't matter how you get there. That's where hypercar regulations excel. They have a maximum electrical output of 200kW in LeMans and 50kW in Daytona, and a max ice/hybrid output of 500kW, but you're free to use as much or as little as you want. Aston Martin doesn't use any battery. BMW and caddy, which are actually LMDh, use 50kW on their hybrids. Toyota uses all 200kW. They all race side-by-side.

Lemans also uses balance of performance.
We will see if we end up with the V8s. Still think it may not happen. The turbos and hybrids are here to stay.
Regen will be a big sticking point again. It is a big issue why this formula is lacking. They had a decent idea then cut its knees out because the teams couldn't agree.

V8s with turbos and a small electrical hybrid maybe the answer
At least they would sound great

Very true, but we kind of had that this year in F1 with ADUO.
Posted on 10/27/26 at 1:19 pm to BottomlandBrew
Thankfully they don’t restrict HP or add weight to the cars. Much prefer Aduo to BOP
Posted on 10/27/26 at 1:37 pm to s14suspense
BOP goes against everything F1 is about. It makes sense for WEC or IMSA because you have cars with very different engines on the same track, from turbo charged V6s to V12s. If the F1 formula says 2.2L V8s then you can’t punish a team for being able to extract more power from that set up to another. I don’t want F1 to turn into a spec series. Give all the teams the formula and then get outta the way and see what they can come up with.
Posted on 10/27/26 at 2:44 pm to MississippiLebowski
ADUO feels like it's slipping into BOP territory, but it's more in the realm of cost-management.
If there was no spending cap, they could all continue to develop and eventually the gaps would shrink a bit as they reach the physical limits of what you can get out of a given formula. The richer teams generally would maintain an advantage, although Ferrari continues to prove that just money isn't enough.
With a restrictive spending cap, any team could get caught out with a weak early result on their development. ADUO is a way to make up for an artificial restriction on continuing to develop to a formula.

Mclaren and Ferrari have both seemed to not keep pace with development. Both have been in striking distance a couple of times.
RBR seemed to nail the engine regs so the ADUO was not in play. Which means all their upgrade energy were spent elsewhere. They have done an amazing job mid season

RBR found a way to get more energy out of their battery sometime around the summer break and moved up the pecking order. Supposedly they need a new gear box design that they won’t introduce until next season.
Bridgestone is wanting to return to F1. They have had high level meetings and had representatives at the last couple races. Pirelli has a contract thru 2028 so Bridgestone is hoping to start in 2029. I think they need to do it, the tires have created some boring races this season. Soft tires are not supposed to last half the race distance.

I really want to see what this formula can do with a proper engine.

Formula as in? You mean 50/50 with a V8?

I’m assuming this Car, different power plant.
Think everyone likes the smaller car, the lighter car, and the aero bits are all fine. They just want to see less battery more ICE

Yep

I would think with the larger displacement we will have to see a larger fuel tank (weight), lower rpms (noise), or refueling (seems unlikely).

The tank could replace the heavy batteries so the weight might not be affected
The reason for the shorter races next year is because the teams didn't want to redesign the fuel tanks after just one year in these cars.
I am ready to hear the proper sound of the V8s in a F1 car
