Now that alone makes Pro10 wheels outlawed.
As for scale looks, well the era of the Wolf, P34 and Lotus was the wider width, so they can get away with F103/109/104w set ups, modern F1 is narrower so only the F104 & F10 should be used for modern F1.
So does this mean we have 2 F1 classes?
You are correct in saying that basically there are two types of F1. Some places here in Japan do seperate the sizes,basically the F104 and the F103 size cars. Nobody runs the F10 here
People that run the F103 size cars are faster and more serious,the F104 guys are either beginners or people that want to run the current bodies and have the challange of trying to make up for the narrow width. The two are mixed during races but the feeling of the two groups is different.Sometimes it even get to the point where there are three different ares of F1 in the same race,its all fun and everybody enjoy themselves in one way or another.
It just comes back to if your car looks like an F1 car or not. A F104W with the Protoform MP4 body, running 3racing wings using 70mm rear tires doesnt look like an F1 car.
