Sorry, that was probably a bit harsh.
I too thought the same as you but it seems like two stroke technology has moved on immensely, which would make them super clean. You would also be able to have small capacity engines with big power. Remember back at the end of the 90's the 500cc two stroke motogp beasts were nudging 200bhp with all the old fashioned tech.
It may well never happen, but it sure would be nice and would give the internal combustion engine another lease of life. Plus they would sound so much better than the god awful V6's.

I don't think it will happen but I would love to see it mate I had 2 stroke bikes when I was young and loved them, ypvs valves locked open just like driving a low comp 4 stroke with a huge turbo on it, nothing, nothing then bang

I hope it does happen will make F1 of far more interest to me if it does, I yearned for an rs500lc when I was 17 but got into cars legally at 19 and didn't bother with doing my test when CBT ran out
