      it's a bit of a disappointment to see that there was much more that they were able to but couldn't because they were limited on time and money. What deadline were they limited by? The car doesn't even race! Why so few test miles? Why not extend the time of development by a few years? The engineers behind it were clearly very passionate and motivated. Imagine a v6 or v8 swap, larger turbos, or the larger tires! Maybe we will never get to see a truly unlimited race car. Maybe that's what the bolide is for.

  • @barrycox7922
    @barrycox7922 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    The front diffuser is in fact a nozzle, the opposite to a diffuser. A nozzle accelerates the air and reduces the pressure. (Think of the nozzle at the end of a garden hose, in the hose the water pressure is high and the velocity is slow, at the tip of the nozzle the pressure is atmospheric and the water velocity is much higher than in the hose.) A diffuser slows the air and increases the pressure. The nozzle at the front accelerates the air relative to the car from car velocity to a higher velocity producing high velocity air going under the car with the subsequent drop in pressure. High pressure converted to high velocity and low pressure. The diffuser at the back slows the high velocity air and increases the air pressure back towards atmospheric pressure. High velocity and low pressure converted to lower velocity and higher pressure. Both nozzle and diffuser work together to produce the higher velocity and lower pressure under the vehicle.

  • @Somerandom1922
    @Somerandom1922 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +18

    7:30 Regarding tyre width, increasing it doesn't increase the grip from friction. The formula for friction forces do not even include information about the contact area.
    However, wider tires are better for race-cars for two main reasons.
    Firstly, tyres, especially soft racing tyres, don't get all of their grip from simple surface interaction friction, they get some of their grip by smooshing into the gaps and cracks in the road surface which is HIGHLY dependent on contact area.
    Secondly, larger tyres experience less pressure because the force from the ground is acting on a larger area. This means they wear more slowly (and there's more tyre to be worn away) which lets you get away with softer compounds that have higher coefficients of friction, while still having a working tyre after a lap.

    • @bakedbeings
      @bakedbeings 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I would have sworn I learned about that from this channel, in one of his videos on the history of F1 tyres. If so, it's an odd oversight. Maybe he meant more grip over the entirety of a lap - since a smaller patch would get too hot and wear too fast, given it's already a problem with the quite wide F1 22 regs tyres.

    • @SafffOneee
      @SafffOneee 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      iirc the main reason, that applies to all cars, is that the physics equation is perfect world setting only. in reality as cars lose grip on a turn they lose material and for that the wider tyre means losing less % of total material

      Bingo. If they made a new one every year and raced it against other equally unrestricted cars every weekend all around the world then maybe it would be a more valuable comparison. But I've seen this clickbait title too often now, especially since it was immediately beaten again the very next time F1 went to Spa after this record even though they didn't give a shit about absolute lap records. Nobody is questioning the fact that regulations hold cars back. That's what's impressive with F1 is that it takes a purpose built unrestricted version of the second fastest race car in the world to go faster than they do every weekend.

      Like with everything on high performance vehicles, everything needs to work together. So sometimes wheel covers are great pieces of aero, especially when designed properly and in harmony with the rest of the cars aero. But other times they can restrict airflow to or from the breaking systems, which could mean red hot/combusting breaks. Its always something that's a pro vs. con on these cars. I like to assume the best engineers in the world tend to look at every avenue to make their cars faster, so Id bet they probably looked at em and decided to opt out.

  • @ChrispyNut
    @ChrispyNut 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I wanna see a high-end series with the biggest performance restriction moved out of the car. The driver. Put them in a sim-rig at the track (lots of marketing potential there), the amount of weight saved from all the crash protection and need to have a huge hole in the middle, would allow for much faster cars on current tyre tech. Then mix in WEC Hypercar style rules governing amount of downforce and such, but mix in a limitation on aerodynamic wake in critical areas (so the engineers work to reinforcing that intent, rather than against it).
    Not having a life on the line when things get pushed too far, would help liberate the regulators as well, so that engineers can really have some fun. Slashing the weight limit from F1's level, would mean existing catch fencing should typically be sufficient to deal with the increased speeds as well.
    The drivers would still have to be at the track to keep network latency sufficiently low, and guard against DDOS, but they also wouldn't be exposed to the harsh environment inside the cockpit. Sure, it wouldn't be for some, but I'm sure there's a decent audience that could easily grow.

    Question about the aero might sound dumb but if the rear wing was bolted directly to the rear wheel hubs and is seperated from the body so any downforce acts directly on the wheel's themselves and not the body . Would that help with too much downforce stressing the body's structure

    • @gabrielmalta1962

    The wider the tire the less shear force the rubber has to deal with because of the larger surface area. Which means less wear and less heat which in turn means you can run much softer compounds without them falling apart. So more grip! If anyone wanted a more detailed explanation.

  • @miguelhenriques3308
    @miguelhenriques3308 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    diffusers don't accelerate air, it expands and slows down, but in the middle, where it is constricted it bennefits from a bigger difuser, thus creating more downforce. (*Edition*) Also, low pressure doesn't suck, it simply doesn't match the force of the highpressure when pushing the car up. That's why we call it a pressure difference.

      I can awnser this! G suits would not be benificial in cars like they are in planes. The suit prevents blood from your brain to drain to your legs when pulling up vertical in fighter planes. this happends when you get to about 6g (for trained pilots). In cars the highest g forces are horizontal with high cornering speeds (at a max of 8G's) and under braking vertical (to about 5G for a very short time). This is simply not engough to drain enough blood out of you brain.
