FINALLY, THIS IS MY FINAL ENTRY!
Here is my entry !
The image is a photo from a qualification run of the BMW in the Formula 1 championship of 2073. The track is the Hima-GP.
Here is what happened from now to then...
When the European Parliament, in 2008, asked the FIA to change the F1 into a sport that was supposed to show the technological advances respectful of the environement, leading to the implementation of the KERS in the 2009 F1 championship, it did not know a series of further laws would lead, appearing periodically for 65 laters, to the new set of rules for the 2073 GP.
First of all, since the F1 was a sport that was too polluting, the drastical Motorsport Emissions Enforcement Act (oftenly refered to as the ME²A) of 2031 led the FIA to ban engines from their sports, since any versions that was not polluting was too expensive to develop. Hence, the F1 went from motors to animal traction as a mean of propulsion. The horse was now what moved the F1 (15 horses maximum per car, so 15 horse power).
Secondly, the EU parliament said that other materials that plasitcs and composits shall be used, since producing them took too many ressources and polluted the earth too much.
As a result, only wood was allowed, as metal would be too heavy. In 2055, the EU parliament stated that to promote fair trade, the chassis and bodywork should be made by native-south-american Jivaro craftsmen.
Thirdly, the EU banned any asphalt track, since the asphalt was degrading the environment, and also because of the global warming, the asphalt would melt during a race, jeopardizing the safety of the horses (and the drivers, but the law only quotes the horse : "Building or using or designing an asphalt track for motorsport purposes is prohibited and can lead to five years of detention and to a fine up to 5000000€ since they are dangerous for the safety of the beasts that tract the cars"). The F1, as all of the other motorsports went from asphalt to dirt tracks.
At the same year of 2062, a couple of month later, the Developing Countries Promotion Act ordered the FIA to only choose developing or poor countries as the hosts of the GPs, since altermondialism is cool, and because the global warming made the temperature rise by 30°F, new destinations, such as Siberia and Himalaya were offered.
Fourth and finally, the EU parliament prohibited the use of horses, and killed all of the horses, cows and porks, since their fart led to a rise of methane in the atmosphere, jeopardizing the global warming stabilization in 2070.
As a result, platypuses were now chosen as the tracting stars of the F1.
The FIA prohibited for the 2073 championship the use of a P10-S9M-1F (10 platypuses, a square cage of nine males at the back and one horny female at the front) since it led to aggressivity among the male, which freed from their cage, fought each other for the female, the winner had an intimate contact with her, and then killed the driver of the F1 with its venomous dart, which tried to put them back in the cage.
Now the pattern is P8-B8F (8 platypuses, 8 females in a brick pattern cage, since the females do not possess darts) attached to the wheels steered by the driver. The brakes are still slowing the wheels down, while the accelerator emits a scary sounds which frightens the females and lead them to go faster.
The F1 is now an endurance race on 500 meters tracks, since it takes 1h30 to complete a lap, and you need to pit at least twice to feed the platypuses. 30 laps are now the common standard, and it takes around 1.5 day to complete the GP.
What you see is the BMW Qualification run, on which they have the pole.
(This is for sure not my final entry, just a funny pic that could be a possible future regarding how, now, the ecologists manage to convince the EU parliament to mess with the motorsports rules
And it is also a scary picture to convince people to mobilize ourselves against ecologists to keep our sane-spirited motorsports
