Samm Sheperd how about F-1 innovations period. This whole video was about mostly sports car and endurance racing innovations. Not one mention of monoque chassis or using the engine as a stressed member of the car. Rear engine. This guy is a phoney.
10:15. I couldn’t agree more. That is why I love Endurance Racing, with IMSA and WEC, the racing is more focused on the companies instead of the drivers. The HUGE problem with modern racing is that there are FAR too many restrictions, and worse yet. The BOP, which slows cars down for being too good. Racing should be the opposite of that. Teams should be congratulated for creating better cars, not beat down. Hopefully with the new Hypercar class in WEC, it will usher in a new era of racing, with the speed of modern cars, but with the Level of innovation of racing from 20 years ago
Chris Herrin Kinetic Energy Recovery System is a mechanism that tries to capture and story energy when the car is braking so it can be used later. in most cases this is letting the electrical engine of a hybrid charge the battery when braking.
Same - I also think the lumping of monocoques crash surfaces and brake discs was rather random (in a pixie dust) sort of way. I'm not optimistic about carbon brake discs because passenger vehicles don't need the comparative advantage, and automotive engineers focus on maximizing value for cost. No one buys cars for sub-100ft 60mph to 0 braking performance.
Studied Biomedical Engineering in my undergrad, which is essential Mechanical Engineering with a bit of biology and surgical practice thrown in. My Master's was in Aeronautical, where I specialised in composite materials. Worked in the Oil & Gas industry for three years as a composite design engineer/ product manager then. Varied....
The disc brake as we know it was developed by Jaguar and Dunlop. The technology swiftly transferred to F1. Jaguar deserves a bit of credit, even tho' they were not an F1 entrant
Thanks for the info! As a 50yo engineer and race enthusiast, I am embarrassed to reveal that I've NEVER heard of Michael May's Porsche 550. This is a remarkable event. Think of what development could have been made sooner if the powers that be weren't afraid of something they couldn't understand. Same goes for the Brabham.

Isn't one of the reason why Carbon Ceramic rotors aren't popular for road car is due to how Carbon Ceramic rotor not being as effective as Steel rotor at low working temperature?
Ovais Saand I thought squeaking noise is due to brake pads? I didn't know they have lower lifespan, but then they're usually on expensive cars that don't cover much mileage, so it wasn't too well known.
Squeaking noise in steel brakes is due to incorrect installation which cause the brakes to vibrate and produce noise.. But Carbon cermic brakes make noise due to Carbons crystalline structure
It's a combination of the poor low temperature performance, cost, and long manufacturing times. It takes 6 months to make the Carbon-carbon rotors used in F1. Even the less expensive carbon ceramic rotors available from supercar companies cost well over $10,000
@9:58 Chapman ordered Andretti to complain about rocks thrown out the fan (Murray says that if that happened, they would be thrown sideways, not out the rear), because the fan car was too quick for his cars to compete with.
@1:43 One of the greatest lines from a McLaren engineer at the time, when asked if the carbon fiber chassis was stronger and safer than the aluminum they had been using (and what everyone else was still using), his response? "I have no idea... but it's loads faster!!"

The Chaparral 2E was Jim Hall’s first car with a high mounted rear wing. It raced in the inaugural CanAm series in 1966. The Chaparral 2F was another of his designs equipped with a rear wing and raced in the Worlds Sports Car Championship. It did race at Le Mans in 1967 but failed to finish. Later in the year it won the BOAC 500 held at Brands Hatch driven by Mike Spence and Phil Hill.

But but but missed some of the flavor of the engineering choices with regards to ground effects (the flats Ferrari and the BT46 being too wide to accommodate ground effects so had to resort to fans or not being implemented as well). Covering the rise of AWD in rally would be awesome. Maybe the Deltawing as well.
Jim Hall's Chaparrel 2J Can-Am car of 1970 was the first car to use ground effects. Using the same "fan car" technology the Brabham BT46b used. I personally love how the Brabham gets the credit for the "fan car" idea when it is not true. Jim Hall invented ground effects not Colin Chapman with Lotus.
Usually the person or entity that gets credit for "first" typically isn't the absolute first, just one of the biggest early *popularizers* of the idea or technology, the one who helped it catch on... Funny how they get all the credit, lol. It's like people thinking Van Halen invented 2-handed tapping on guitar when you can see and hear earlier recorded examples. It's just that he tweaked the technique to his own style and popularized it beyond what anyone else had done previously, so he gets automatically associated with "inventing" it when he really didn't. It's interesting how society/history works like that, lol.
AMEN! Jim Hall is responsible for many aerodynamic innovations used in auto racing and he gets so little credit. It is nice to see that there are others who recognize his importance in the technology of aerodynamics. His contributions are simply amazing. BTW If you ever get the chance visit the Chaparral wing of the Petroleum Museum in Midland. It is wonderful to see the winged wonders that changed auto racing forever. The Chaparral collection (or parts of it) do travel from time to time so call ahead and check to see if your favorite car will be there. The 2K was away when I went.

Brother you have one if not the best channel in all of TH-cam. I love how informative it is and kind of addicted to your videos! Thank you for all this information and so perfectly explained!
I came back to this video just for the one line "the only difference was the lunatics driving the cars". Still watched the whole video, but that line is so brilliant.
At 7:57 there's an animation, which explains the ground effect. It does that in a wrong way, because actually the ground effect is all about the floor's shape. The bottom of a ground effect car is shaped like a wing's lower surface, while the side skirts are there to block the air coming from the sides of a car. All the modern racecars which use the ground effect don't have these skirts anymore, because although they significantly increase the ground effect, in case of losing contact with the track surface due to a bump on there or when a car drives through a curb, the car loses most of its downforce, which results in a loss of handling. More than, albeit most of the modern racing cars use the ground effect, the F1 cars don't use it to the full due to restrictive regulations. The ground effect surfaces, the diffusers are allowed only behind the rear axle, while the floor should be flat within the wheelbase, according to the current rulebook (2020).
Just like to point out, we will likely never see carbon ceramic breaks in normal street cars. Steel rotors are better at low temperatures and street cars don't see the kind of repeated high stress breaking scenarios that race cars do.
Actually carbon breaks on street cars have a big disadvantage. The produced dust can clog the pores in the disc and damage them. Carbon discs have to become hot enough to burn this dust which rarely happens in public driving.
The greatest innovation is the way F1 is utilized as a product in order to simultaneously push and finance the tech innovations. Brilliant, just brilliant. 👍
Frist off, I am in extreme admiration of this channel, as one of my dreams in life is to become an engineer so I'm find your commentery very crisp and to the point but this Venturi effect your speaking of, I knew it as Bernoulli's principle
@@yashkrishnatery9082 I'm on course to become one actually! I got accepted into my dream school in France and am now in my second year of studying there. Thank you for the wishes!
People like you don't get enough credit for the ability to present and explain such a highly detailed and complicated subject that is hard to understand for most people, especially people in the f1 world who'd rather learn about this stuff than read gossip about journalists taking drivers' words the wrong way and write a whole misleading article about it. *cough cough express.co.uk cough cough
I don't get why the regulations are so strict... Of course you need to establish some rules for safety's sake, but if the goal is to design the fastest car, why not just let the engineers build whatever is within reason? Why put up so many restrictions?
Yeah as was said above, look at how many complaints mercedes got fort he last 2 seasons (and red bull for the 4 years before that) that it was boring because one car was clearly better than all the others. If you have unlimited rules the team with the most money usually wins...
I agree, F-1 is a fascinating sport to watch, because you constantly get to root for technology and skill. I can't imagine a fully automated automotive sport would be very interesting, because the competition of skill creates stakes and tension in the same way that watching 2 pilots square off with different skill levels and different levels of mechanical competence creates tension. PZL P.11 pilots scoring a surprising number of victories over BF-109s, as an example.
That 917 tho.. what a beast! Was 19 mph faster than anything previously built for Le Mans in 1969-1971, that ladies n gents is night and day in the racing world. This Porsche still holds the fastest lap at the Le Mans racing circuit to this day but of course, there have been a number of fundamental changes to the circuit since 1971.These cars were so stable that the drivers could take their hands off the steering wheel at speeds which reached 240+ mph.
Good video! You definitely did your research and created a high quality video. Just a few things: Drag coefficient for blunt bodies (i.e. squares, spheres, cylinders) is very dependent on another number known as "Reynold's Number", and Reynold's number is dependent on velocity, characteristic length, fluid density, and fluid viscosity. Saying drag coefficient is one exact number isn't actually accurate and the relationship is much more complex. Also, the official way to pronounce Porsche is 'porsh-uh' not just 'porsh'. Still though, good video, just wanted to give some constructive feedback.
I'd love to see a video about the innovations in WRC (World Rally Championship) The cars are on another level of high end performance and the drivers are 100× better trained/more insane. They don't just have the track to worry about, people being less than 5ft away in nearly every corner makes it one of the most exciting motorsports on the planet. The cars have to be on point perfect, from speed, to downforce, acceleration, to braking, and handling, to traction.
Disc brakes, aerodynamics, both really got their birth in the aircraft industry, then moved to racing, then filtered down to road cars. Disc brakes had been around on a few cars half a century before the C-type, but investment in warfare, especially aircraft is where they really came into being. Even fancy words like monocoque and composite materials came around in aviation, especially aviation warfare before really filtering down to the race track and the highway. For composite materials, the ultra light, ultra high performance deHavilland Mosquito built of plywood is a perfect example.
You mean put the biggest push rod v8 you can find and get a 4 speed box behind it and slap it in a land yacht and watch yanks oaf around a circle ? Lol
1969-70 Chrysler used wind tunnels for the Charger Daytona and Plymouth Superbird as did Ford for the Torino Talledega and Mercury Cyclone. skirts for sucking the car down were used by Pete Robinson on his Top Fuel dragster 1969-70 Fan car Jim Hall Chaparral 2J 1970 car also had movable side skirts
The title for the video should be: The greatest Innovations in Motorsports, because around half of the examples you used were from sports car endurance racing not just Formula One. Another cherry pick formula one nowadays is not the leading form of engineering in Motorsports that titled goes towards the FIA WEC LMP1 Hybrid class in my opinion.
Well the Jaguar C Type and Porsche 550 were never in formula one given the overlap in regulations. But the Chaparral 2E is a Can am car which shared nothing with formula one regulations in the 1960s. Also I just noticed he said the Chapparal 2E is a Le mans winning car but the 2E was never at Le mans that was the 2D and 2F which never won Le mans. Also the Porsche 917 shared nothing with formula one regulations
+Noratan Well, tell that to ABS, traction control, stability control, rear-view mirrors, paddle shifters, carbon fiber constructions, lubricants, aerodynamics/air channeling, adaptive suspension, sequential gearbox and 7 gear transmission, kinetic energy recovery systems (some models from Mini Cooper offers this technology along with few other automobile manufactures), steering wheel functions, tire compound, carbon ceramic brakes, single wheel leg nut (most vehicles have four or five lug nuts), and engine management/technology.
+Daniel Lomax It is permitted to pronounce it wrongly because it's not forbidden in the first place. And it is just normal. We don't pronounce "India" as the Indians do. We don't pronounce "Bejing" as the Chinese do. You don't pronounce Naples as the Italians do etc. etc. etc. etc. I could list literally millions of examples if I spoke all 6000 languages existing. You cannot expect people to know how the locals pronounce their cities. The city you know as "Zurich" the locals call "Züri" and we would not expect anybody on this planet to pronounce it as we do. People say "Switzerland" But the German speaking locals call it "Schwiiz". And the country internationally known as "Germany", "Alemaña" etc. the locals call "Deutschland". Very very different. Everything clear now?
I can understand not everybody pronouncing every name perfectly in every language. But I also think people should make whatever effort they can to pronounce things the way they were intended to be pronounced. I don't think simply pronouncing 'Le Mans' with a silent S is an unreasonable demand of any English speaker.
What's not well known is that Gordon Murray actually took his inspiration for the "fan car" from the Chapparal 2j sports-racing car with electric fans to create low pressure under the car and thus increase down force. O'l Gordo just came up with a more elegant solution by joining the fan to the drive shaft.
Ground Effect cars were banned in 1983 after 2 deaths the previous year. They've since been reinstated in a slightly different way. Also Porsche is pronounced 'Por-sha'
The aerodynamics were fascinating! But there is still plenty of room to make another video on the topic of F1 engine/powerplant innovations :)

I came back to this video just for the one line "the only difference was the lunatics driving the cars". Still watched the whole video, but that line is so brilliant.
I actually loved the fact that you showed a clip of ANA's 787
"Roar of the engines." Yeah...yeah.

Hear the scream of the Turbo V6 x)
I guess he's complaining about the sound the new engines have

At 7:57 there's an animation, which explains the ground effect. It does that in a wrong way, because actually the ground effect is all about the floor's shape. The bottom of a ground effect car is shaped like a wing's lower surface, while the side skirts are there to block the air coming from the sides of a car. All the modern racecars which use the ground effect don't have these skirts anymore, because although they significantly increase the ground effect, in case of losing contact with the track surface due to a bump on there or when a car drives through a curb, the car loses most of its downforce, which results in a loss of handling.
More than, albeit most of the modern racing cars use the ground effect, the F1 cars don't use it to the full due to restrictive regulations. The ground effect surfaces, the diffusers are allowed only behind the rear axle, while the floor should be flat within the wheelbase, according to the current rulebook (2020).
Disc brakes had been around way before Jaguars C class. The race you refer to was simply when they managed to get them to work on race cars.
Just like to point out, we will likely never see carbon ceramic breaks in normal street cars. Steel rotors are better at low temperatures and street cars don't see the kind of repeated high stress breaking scenarios that race cars do.
Not unless you're driving a ridiculously overpowered car through stop and go inner city traffic.
Actually carbon breaks on street cars have a big disadvantage. The produced dust can clog the pores in the disc and damage them. Carbon discs have to become hot enough to burn this dust which rarely happens in public driving.
Speak for yourself peasant
Carbon brakes also do not heat up enough to operating temp in normal street driving, meaning that they will not operate as well as steel discs.

The greatest innovation is the way F1 is utilized as a product in order to simultaneously push and finance the tech innovations. Brilliant, just brilliant. 👍
I think F1 is about engineering more than the drivers too - but they are the personality.
Excellent video.
The greatest innovation in F1 has to be the Maldonator. He made quite a few spectacles during his service.
Frist off, I am in extreme admiration of this channel, as one of my dreams in life is to become an engineer so I'm find your commentery very crisp and to the point but this Venturi effect your speaking of, I knew it as Bernoulli's principle
F1 KERS have KERS.

I am definitely looking forward to more SimScale renderings, especially since I aspire to be an aeronautical engineer. This channel is just wow.
So did you became an aeronautical engineer in 4 years. I wish you became..
@@yashkrishnatery9082 I'm on course to become one actually! I got accepted into my dream school in France and am now in my second year of studying there. Thank you for the wishes!
People like you don't get enough credit for the ability to present and explain such a highly detailed and complicated subject that is hard to understand for most people, especially people in the f1 world who'd rather learn about this stuff than read gossip about journalists taking drivers' words the wrong way and write a whole misleading article about it. *cough cough express.co.uk cough cough

I don't get why the regulations are so strict... Of course you need to establish some rules for safety's sake, but if the goal is to design the fastest car, why not just let the engineers build whatever is within reason? Why put up so many restrictions?
They want it to be a fair race, the drivers must be able to have fun as well.
Yeah as was said above, look at how many complaints mercedes got fort he last 2 seasons (and red bull for the 4 years before that) that it was boring because one car was clearly better than all the others. If you have unlimited rules the team with the most money usually wins...
That what GP2 and all the single make series are for. Who is saying that with everyone working from the same rulebook makes it unfair anyway?
fair races are boring ;)
But so are Bullshit - adjustable Spoilers :D

Well done. U deserve it
I agree, F-1 is a fascinating sport to watch, because you constantly get to root for technology and skill. I can't imagine a fully automated automotive sport would be very interesting, because the competition of skill creates stakes and tension in the same way that watching 2 pilots square off with different skill levels and different levels of mechanical competence creates tension. PZL P.11 pilots scoring a surprising number of victories over BF-109s, as an example.
I agree . As an engineer we always say the drivers get the glory but the engineers win the races!
Damn 1970 f1 cars are the best looking
It seems that the steel age is finally coming to a close. The true polymer age can now begin.

That 917 tho.. what a beast! Was 19 mph faster than anything previously built for Le Mans in 1969-1971, that ladies n gents is night and day in the racing world. This Porsche still holds the fastest lap at the Le Mans racing circuit to this day but of course, there have been a number of fundamental changes to the circuit since 1971.These cars were so stable that the drivers could take their hands off the steering wheel at speeds which reached 240+ mph.
I really love your channel. You managed to keep it unique and professional in the same time.
I’m also from Ireland but can’t help noticing kyarr pronunciation😂😂😂
love how they sped up the le mans footages to make it like they were faster xD
If you've ever seen old video clips you'll see the motion is sped up in them too.
Good video! You definitely did your research and created a high quality video. Just a few things: Drag coefficient for blunt bodies (i.e. squares, spheres, cylinders) is very dependent on another number known as "Reynold's Number", and Reynold's number is dependent on velocity, characteristic length, fluid density, and fluid viscosity. Saying drag coefficient is one exact number isn't actually accurate and the relationship is much more complex. Also, the official way to pronounce Porsche is 'porsh-uh' not just 'porsh'. Still though, good video, just wanted to give some constructive feedback.
The Storm what are you smoking? Did his research? This wasn't even about Formula 1 save for ground effects and that wasn't even an original F-1 idea.
Wasn't expecting to find such a high quality video. Well done!
I'd love to see a video about the innovations in WRC (World Rally Championship) The cars are on another level of high end performance and the drivers are 100× better trained/more insane.
They don't just have the track to worry about, people being less than 5ft away in nearly every corner makes it one of the most exciting motorsports on the planet.
The cars have to be on point perfect, from speed, to downforce, acceleration, to braking, and handling, to traction.

Love your accent, mate - F1 “caer” :))
Thank you for illustrating Jim Hall's Chaparral with its famous # 66.
Disc brakes, aerodynamics, both really got their birth in the aircraft industry, then moved to racing, then filtered down to road cars. Disc brakes had been around on a few cars half a century before the C-type, but investment in warfare, especially aircraft is where they really came into being. Even fancy words like monocoque and composite materials came around in aviation, especially aviation warfare before really filtering down to the race track and the highway. For composite materials, the ultra light, ultra high performance deHavilland Mosquito built of plywood is a perfect example.

We don't care to know how they got the drivers to stop fucking their cousins.

1969-70 Chrysler used wind tunnels for the Charger Daytona and Plymouth Superbird as did Ford for the Torino Talledega and Mercury Cyclone. skirts for sucking the car down were used by Pete Robinson on his Top Fuel dragster 1969-70 Fan car Jim Hall Chaparral 2J 1970 car also had movable side skirts

The title for the video should be: The greatest Innovations in Motorsports, because around half of the examples you used were from sports car endurance racing not just Formula One. Another cherry pick formula one nowadays is not the leading form of engineering in Motorsports that titled goes towards the FIA WEC LMP1 Hybrid class in my opinion.
ranul kumara and Super GT
le mans and f1 used to be very similar in what cars were entered. At least when he said those examples. the FIA was very loose with regs and the WDC
Well the Jaguar C Type and Porsche 550 were never in formula one given the overlap in regulations. But the Chaparral 2E is a Can am car which shared nothing with formula one regulations in the 1960s. Also I just noticed he said the Chapparal 2E is a Le mans winning car but the 2E was never at Le mans that was the 2D and 2F which never won Le mans. Also the Porsche 917 shared nothing with formula one regulations
+Noratan Well, tell that to ABS, traction control, stability control, rear-view mirrors, paddle shifters, carbon fiber constructions, lubricants, aerodynamics/air channeling, adaptive suspension, sequential gearbox and 7 gear transmission, kinetic energy recovery systems (some models from Mini Cooper offers this technology along with few other automobile manufactures), steering wheel functions, tire compound, carbon ceramic brakes, single wheel leg nut (most vehicles have four or five lug nuts), and engine management/technology.
He also missed the tail end of the 917 line where about 1500 hp was attained from the car.
It's not pronounced Le ManSSSSS. It's French. The 'S' is silent.
and Porsche is two syllables unless one is a teen girl.
The French say "Amerik" instead of "America". Therefore no reason to complain.
Don't understand why permitting the mispronunciation of one word permits the mispronunciation of another.
+Daniel Lomax It is permitted to pronounce it wrongly because it's not forbidden in the first place. And it is just normal. We don't pronounce "India" as the Indians do. We don't pronounce "Bejing" as the Chinese do. You don't pronounce Naples as the Italians do etc. etc. etc. etc. I could list literally millions of examples if I spoke all 6000 languages existing. You cannot expect people to know how the locals pronounce their cities.
The city you know as "Zurich" the locals call "Züri" and we would not expect anybody on this planet to pronounce it as we do. People say "Switzerland" But the German speaking locals call it "Schwiiz". And the country internationally known as "Germany", "Alemaña" etc. the locals call "Deutschland". Very very different.
Everything clear now?
I can understand not everybody pronouncing every name perfectly in every language. But I also think people should make whatever effort they can to pronounce things the way they were intended to be pronounced. I don't think simply pronouncing 'Le Mans' with a silent S is an unreasonable demand of any English speaker.
Fantastic video. Massive help on my EPQ on the evolution on F1 cars. Thanks!
What's not well known is that Gordon Murray actually took his inspiration for the "fan car" from the Chapparal 2j sports-racing car with electric fans to create low pressure under the car and thus increase down force. O'l Gordo just came up with a more elegant solution by joining the fan to the drive shaft.
Ground Effect cars were banned in 1983 after 2 deaths the previous year. They've since been reinstated in a slightly different way.
Also Porsche is pronounced 'Por-sha'
It‘s not pronounced like that.
Only by yanks.
Everyone’s concerned about how you’re pronouncing “cars” meanwhile I’m concerned about how you’re pronouncing Porsche
Thats why F1 and LMP1 are slow on striaghts but seconds faster in a lap and 3x faster than a Koeniggseg
An F1 can hit 350 kph without issue. Maybe compared to hypercars, they aren’t quick on a straight, but they’re definitely quick.
I wish he would have transitioned the accelerating car sound into his usual chill intro music. It could have been done flawlessly!
