Formula Ford racing is far more entertaining than F1. 1000hp Formula Fords would be even better! But realistically teams would not bother with that much power and would concentrate on drivability and economy (to save fuel weight).
Everyone would soon become accustomed to slower racing. The biggest obstacle would be introducing the same sort of restrictions to all other categories, otherwise F2, Indycar and other classes would be faster and F1 would cease to be "the pinnacle".
But like I said before, it's just a pipe dream of mine because I know it will never happen.
