F1 aiming for simpler and louder engines after 2020

A broad agreement has been reached for the future of Formula One engine technology, with the sport targeting cheap, loud and powerful engines after 2020.

The FIA held a meeting in Paris on Friday to set out key objectives for the sport's future engine regulations, which was attended by F1's current engine manufacturers as well as motoring companies that are not involved in F1, such as the Volkswagen Group. The broad agreements are likely to see the current 1.6-litre V6 turbo hybrids ditched for a simpler solution that can still be used by manufacturers as a test bed for road car technology.
