Not sure. But one classic F1 car in particular I'd like to see them add is the Lotus 56B. Four wheel drive, gas turbine engine (reportedly making 600 horsepower) and no gearbox. Another F1 oddball I'd like to see is the Williams FW15C. While they were forced to race it with an ordinary 6 speed gearbox they initially tested it with a CVT. Of course I'd want it with the CVT.Why no classic front engined F1 cars?

In 1997 I graduated from Eindhoven TU. My final thesis was about trying to make the CVT technique easier to understand with the larger audience; especially with high power vehicles.
Williams tested with a cvt. The F1 car was 2 seconds faster then with a normal automatic gearbox. It was forbidden instantly.
