The rules of F 1 clearly stipulate that naturally aspirated 2.4L V8 gasoline engine must be used, and it is illegal to use any other type of engine.
Moreover, the fuel consumption of rotary engine is too high, which is not suitable for F 1 events that need to accurately consider fuel consumption. What's more, technically, when the rotary engine runs to the level of F 1 18000RPM, it is easy to cause problems such as oil leakage and air tightness reduction caused by the wear of oil seal materials, and it is difficult to control its fuel consumption, which is a disaster for race control, cost control and fleet strategy formulation. The reciprocating piston engine used now, after 60 years of development in the field of F 1, has basically reached the mechanical limit and is very mature.
Another patent on rotary engines. The patent of rotary engine does not belong to Mazda, but originally belongs to NSU (later merged into Audi). Mazda's rotor technology was learned in the process of cooperation with NSU.
As for the output characteristics of the rotary engine, Pony runs Le Mans for 24 hours, not a rally ... If a rally is held because of the low speed and low torque output of the rotary engine, it will be a complete disaster.
As for the rules of the game ...
The organizing Committee will spare no effort to suppress any strong person. In the first two years, we tried our best to suppress the silver red, and also deducted the budget cap, prohibiting the trial operation in the middle. As a result, BGP and RBR appeared, and so did Le Mans. It's just ... it's not necessarily bad for the audience to maintain the technical balance of the event.
