RB porpoising at 0:12
Ferrari porpoising at 3:00 and 4:00 below looks mainly to be over the rear axle. I wonder if the rear wing changing angle of attack exacerbates things.
What i noticed about the Ferrari is that they softened the suspension. In the first test Ferrari was the only team with an extremely stiff suspension set-up and all the other teams followed Ferraris lead. Since these test Ferrari has softened their suspension set-up massively. Especially at the rear. So i think its probably more the suspension, but maybe the AoA also contributes, especially as Ferrari drives the floor more than any other car with the rear-and beamwing.vorticism wrote: β24 Apr 2022, 22:20RB porpoising at 0:12

I suspect two things were at play this weekend for Ferrari. Softening the chassis in anticipation of a lot of wet weather running, and maybe leaning towards it being wetter than it was, and adding in some more df in anticipation of the same conditions.Andi76 wrote: β24 Apr 2022, 22:59What i noticed about the Ferrari is that they softened the suspension.

It doesn't look like the tires were being compressed much in that sequence so you may be right.
OK, I didnt know that. It would be good to know (if it is the public access) how they solved it.
And broken drivers , I was wondering how close to causing a version of concussion now that it has been recognised as long term damaging.graham.reeds wrote: β27 Apr 2022, 09:45Two thoughts I had watching Imola:
Could you put two high wearing pins at the front and back. Drive around wearing the pins down until porpoising starts. Then lock the max suspension travel (including natural flex of the arms and tyres) to just before that amount.
Also does porpoising give you higher top speed due to the stalling of the undertray?
I can imagine that there will be some broken cars if they haven't solved it by the time we reach Monza.
And somehow this picture says nothing. I'm not sure what the point of your post it?johnny comelately wrote: β27 Apr 2022, 09:24https://motorsportexplained.com/wp-cont ... oric-3.jpg

Well yes because it has a big fan sucking the air out in a consistent fashion and minimal downforce from any other surface. In this context it is entirely unrelated.johnny comelately wrote: β27 Apr 2022, 10:58Very high, maybe extreme ground effect generated by active non-conventional means in the last millennium with no porpoising (that i know of)SiLo wrote: β27 Apr 2022, 10:41And somehow this picture says nothing.
