This forum contains threads to discuss teams themselves. Anything not technical about the cars, including restructuring, performances etc belongs here.
322 is 1kph off last years fastest speed trap in Qualy.
How we compare to others is very much in the air, but what is unquestionable is all these cars are likely a fair bit faster and the Macca is definitely more slippy.
We are 7kph faster than last year and we are not dialled in, got engines turned up or even likely trying to go fast.
We can compare each car to where they were last year, but we don't have data to compare the cars from this year against each other.
Even then we still don't know how much faster. We understand how fast they were at the start of last year, and that they likely made progress, but what we don't have is two thresholds.
The first being how fast would the last iterations of last years cars be on this track.
The second is just how fast can these cars go. But once you get to 7kph faster with a car not set up to go fast, vs a car going as fast as it can, then yeah this car is a step forward, that is clear enough. But we don't know if it is enough for this years car to put us ahead of the pack.
It will not stop anyone looking for hope on this Forum, but there is almost no chance of us understanding how we compare to the other teams from these three days.
