New For 2013
There are not a lot of rule changes for 2013 so cars are very similar and the
techonology carries over from 2012.
One change you'll notice is that the front of some cars are better looking.
Last year's "stepped" noses was caused by the manufacturers creating high
chassis and the FIAs demand to have noses low enough so that they did not
spear a driver in the case of a side impact. This year the FIA is allowing
light-weight break-away caps to smooth the transition, called "vanity caps".
Turbos will be allowed in 2014, so look forward to more drastic changes then.
Driver Changes
