And about solving misfire problems, new plugs, regardless of type, usually fixes that.

I haven't had any problem with my coil packs either, running two cars one at 600whp on the roadcourse and the other at 400 street/roadcourse... I run ethanol based fuel with the plugs I mentioned earlier (R5671A-10 and -8 for the street car)

Your car makes more than 1000hp that's some kind of record for sure? Either way I don't really care what kind of plugs you run I'm just stating what I've seen in my experience. I tune cars everyday and I have solved more misfire problems than you can imagine by throwing the "latest and greatest" plugs in the trash and putting coppers in. On top of that every race car I have ever worked on or seen from F1 cars to Rally cars have coppers, that has to count for something.
I would say there is no way your plugs are making that happen they can cause interference with radar detectors and extreme cases (bad grounds) your radio

I got to also jump in here.
Wonder what EGTs they run because they are running exotic high-density fuel blends
if there egts are super hi I could see a copper plug melting away. With as much money as they put in to research I could see them running some sort of exotic spark plug material.

They run a surface discharge plug made by champion that weighs under 11 grams... it's not $2 but it is copper. The fuel is not exotic as you think either

If you compare that to the allowances of regular gasoline you would be surprised. Due to recent regulations (last 10 years) F1 engines have become much less exotic than you would think. The difference in the cars is mostly in the Chassis now which is unfortunate.
Mase, why not contribute to the thread rather than throwing around undeserved personal attacks.
