Topic: Fleet update from Flinter

And your sled is shockingly clean and fuel efficient for a 2 stroke. Better than some 4 strokes I've read...

Hope Flinter doesn't mind me going off on a tangent, but that reminded me of something I read the other day.

Apparently they're considering two-strokes for F1 cars, for eco reasons. 

I was SO disappointed when MotoGP went away from 2 strokes.

But with modern tech....they would be awesome!

Thought I'd share a couple of links that explain a little about the enhancements to 2-stroke engines using ETEC. Interestingly, most of the concepts were originally created for the boating industry by OMC (Johnson/Evinrude outboard motors). Bombardier/Rotax then adapted it to engines used for snowmobiles and ultralight aircraft after acquiring Evinrude.
