I can't believe that the "black" in the side pod is just paint. Maybe I see things that don't exist, but I have the feeling that this is hidden entrance. Maybe not, but we will find out in a few weeks

I have a feeling this car will be top 4.. i think they.ll win avrace this yearpantherxxx wrote: ↑14 Feb 2022, 14:55This can be a championship winning car. The team that uses the venturi effect the most effectively will probably win, and the double floor + gills may be the way to do it.
The car will be sttonger once dan fallows designs some updates.. we know he knows what the redbull looks like anyways
This car really is the best looking for now
If it was so obvious and simple every team would have done it.pantherxxx wrote: ↑14 Feb 2022, 14:55This can be a championship winning car. The team that uses the venturi effect the most effectively will probably win, and the double floor + gills may be the way to do it.
Low speed performance is a differentiator this year so lets see about that. The cars are weaker in low speed. So if a team manages to be the standout performer there, a lot of time can be gained.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑14 Feb 2022, 11:11If a higher centre of gravity gives better aero, it seems that the teams go with it. The aero component is more important than a marginal CoG height change in these cars it seems.
This car might not be effective on every circuit on the calendar but will be very strong on certain types of circuits(high-speed ones)....just a hunch.Coefficient wrote: ↑18 Feb 2022, 01:00They've gone all in with the high front wing, so they expect the midship downforce to be paramount.

That's the thing, Midship downforce is going to be paramount. The biggest change in driving style and car character for this year will be the steering. In Medium and High speed corners, cars will turn about a centre axis due to the downforce genarated by the tunnel rather than from the front, you know like in go karts but less extreme. They pretty much have to throw the car into the corner with a slight rear powerslide with full confidence and well it will stick and that's how you gonna get the laptime. Aston's Concepts is the way to go in terms of the track for the whole season, at the risk of power drivability and They probably will struggle at Monaco. Ferrari has gone the exact oppopsite and so has the Merc. So far only the Aston is running concept like this, with the Alpa Tauri Close behind but a it of a halfway house.Coefficient wrote: ↑18 Feb 2022, 01:00They've gone all in with the high front wing, so they expect the midship downforce to be paramount.

Surely if the centre of pressure of their downforce is inline with their centre of mass then there shouldnt be a whole load balancing required. And if their floor is powerful enough, they wont need to run a huge RW and therefore wont need a hugely powerful front wing to balance.Coefficient wrote: ↑18 Feb 2022, 01:00They've gone all in with the high front wing, so they expect the midship downforce to be paramount.

The COP of the car means the rear wing is necessary to balance the car. In fact, the sooner you can get the rear wing working the better. It's not very draggy compared to previous seasons, and aids extraction from the diffuser. Since the cars run flat, there's no rake helping the rear wing angle under acceleration. Since the diffuser loses some downforce as the car pitches forward under braking, you need the rear wing to help as the rear wing angle increases as the car pitches forward.Mchamilton wrote: ↑19 Feb 2022, 12:53Surely if the centre of pressure of their downforce is inline with their centre of mass then there shouldnt be a whole load balancing required.
