Red Bull RB17

[Sasha]

So Yamamoto shared it with RB and RB is having Cosworth build it. He is a consultant that works with RB and he wanted to make the ultimate engine( his favorite Honda F1 engine was the 2005 V10)

Whelbase is huge, at least 5 m. Ugly car, dear God, save us.

This is not the final car. It will be smaller I think at the end.

And it can lap Silverstone on F1 Levels...

I’ve heard that before about the older model and then Hulk got to drive it…



Turns out.. not even close.

Factually incorrect. It has a very very similar size and footprint to an Aston Martin DBX. So a wheelbase of at least 5m is about 1.5m out.


DBX has a 3060mm wheelbase and a Length of 5039mm and a Width of 1998 mm.

A bit of careful listening to the video at 12mins 30seconds will clear your inaccuracies up

Clearly Valkyrie had some massive technical issues to the point the amr pro isn't a valkyrie at all, it's a completely different car that sort of looks like a valkyrie. I have way more confidence in RBT executing valkyrie 2.0 than Aston Martin executing valkyrie with their former CEO making crazy promises in the press.

There is clearly F1 backbone hidden underneath bodywork,downwashing "side pod", even undercut as it is now. Nose like up to 2013 era.

People also need to understand that this is
1. A body shell model only
2. It represents how the model looked almost a year ago as Newey says, so the car cold look somewhat different right now with a year of further development

Personally i think it's absolutely amazing that Cosworth has become a real bespoke engine maker for other companies again, and with modern tech they can really make some interesting and beautiful sounding engines.

Newey says in the video that they've only completed the single cylinder test engine, but has begun casting the real blocks now, can't wait to hear this thing ...

The valve train pretty much HAS to be pneumatic at these kind of revs??

Yes and why it will need a new engine if it races in WEC.
Also a Chassis redesign( breaking all the rules in every category)

How do these ground effect tunnels produce so much downforce without having a “kick” like the f1 tunnels??
I mean they look almost straight! Where’s the low pressure area??

This is a show car. Note that it doesn't have any doors or any ground clearance on the side skirts. It's going to change quite a bit for the real thing.

It would have to be a completely different car to compete in wec

Like already said this is just a show car and I think it was mentioned that this was the design from a year ago, so it likely has undergone a lot of development since then. If you look at the first and second proper release of pictures from the Valkyrie you see it was nearly a different car, in terms of aerodynamics and I assume this will be similar.

[cheeRS]

So its just a Valkyrie AMR Pro?

That's tantamount to seeing an Indy car and saying "it looks just like an F1 car!". Similarities, yes; there are certain features of racecars that will always be the most efficient, especially coming from the same mastermind. Someone should post some comparison pics side by side.
