Some of the fastest planes in the world, are downright ugly, but that does not mean they are any the worse for it. Sometimes you have to be brutal with airflow, to gain the best advantage. Look at Marussia, cleanest lines, but slowest car!Mr.G wrote:At first, I don't want to start a flame. However I don't agree. The rules are the same for all the teams and there are currently nice cars. This one is just getting worse and worse (not in performance). The nose, the sidepods... It starts to remind me some kind of ugly insect (sorry).
Nonsense. There is no place for beauty in the world of extreme performance. You really think they though about looks from aesthetic point of view when they designed SR-71?Mr.G wrote:I understand it well. However, it's my opinion (look on to my signature), I like clean and efficient design. RedBull is just for pure performance (ugly, but fast), McLaren always want to be fancy and for most of the time they find some pretty complicated solution which works (but: a. in very small working window, b. it's too complicated and brings lot of faults during races) and finaly Ferrari. They tries to have both (performance and clean design), they aren't alway successful but they cars have "soul". Thats it.
We are getting a little bit off topic but, nice, clean and fast, very good performance:
- SR-71
- Su-37

Thanks Lorenzo, that is really insightful. I am a bit surprised at how close Belgium is to Italy on average speed and how close the overall fuel consumption (l/100km) is.Lorenzo_Bandini wrote:Renault show the data of their engines, the fuel consumption for each races. Sorry, it's in french, i'm on my phone right now on my way to the work, when i will arrive i will traduce.
The first column is the name of the country, the second one is the lenght of the track, then it's the average speed, then max speed, then it's the % of the lap at full throttle, then the fuel consumption on one lap then the average consumption (L per 100KM ).
At Melbourne, RS27 engines consumn 2.5 litres of fuel on one lap and 67 after 100 KM.
