Here is a first suggestion from another thread:
Limit the motors to 11.999999 to 1 compression ratio. It lets the motors last a lot longer and current owners would only need a set of piston of which they replace during maintenence any ways.

The problem is not to come up with the rules. It is keeping them. Looking at the other side (stock cars), they follow about a five year cycle. They start with a street division. Each year guys add little things, pretty soon you get 2-3 classes that look alike and run a lot alike. About 5 years later they kick out the top class and start a new street class. So your teacher must rule against improvements and progression. Recent history, the low cost focus program!
It happens everywhere, a good sprint is cheaper than a good micro.

Actually ,we can amend the rules. Just tell us who you are and what the company/connection is.
