With the track debut of the new V6 turbo engines coming closer and closer, teams are admitting that one of the major challenges of getting and efficient and reliable package will be managing the cooling systems.
I think you will find that the gears will be shorter next year with less of a range of RPM between shifts.Holm86 wrote:Im pretty sure its because the gears are longer next year. Or you stay in the same gear for larger rpm span.you get into eighth gear before you get to seventh gear now.
So what he means is that on the new engines you shift into 8. gear before you would shift into 7. gear on the old engines.
I dont think so. The powerband of the engine is much wider. Why not take advantage of that? And the gear ratios are fixed so I dont see why you would want a close ratio gearbox. The ratios for the individual gears may be lower than they were with the V8's. But I think the distance between the ratios will be larger.autogyro wrote:I think you will find that the gears will be shorter next year with less of a range of RPM between shifts.Holm86 wrote:Im pretty sure its because the gears are longer next year.

Its not rly questionable since he didnt specify on what track he would do this or if he would do everywhere, but seeing as he is the one that has been in the simulator and not any of us i think his word is ok to believe.WilliamsF1 wrote:What Jenson says is questionable
The gear ratio of the 8th gear is going to be based on monza 340 kmph, with final ratio used only for the 30 kmph (or less), I don't see how/why Jenson would be jumping to 8th any sooner
I guess they are kicked up to provide a link back to the front bulkhead, remembering that the finger section is part of the crash structure. What do you propose is a better idea?ringo wrote:I'd like to know why most of the designs here have the nose tip kinked upwards?
Are you guys doing this for any particular reason? or is it because of what you have seen on the previous year's cars?
It's not wise to design from styling, you be surprised at what wont work if you don't understand why it is how it is.
This rule above makes all the noses above illegal by the way. Especially the boat hull bulb thingy. If you take any section outside of the webbing you will have 2 sections.3.7.8 Only a single section, which must be open, may be contained within any longitudinal vertical
cross section taken parallel to the car centre line forward of a point 150mm ahead of the front
wheel centre line, less than 250mm from the car centre line and more than 125mm above the
reference plane.
The nose must have a tapered shape taping away from the nose tip basically, if it is to comply with the above rule.
Because of the torque maybe... Or maybe just because of the characteristic of Jerez track surface in the winter. More wheel spin on an cold road means you have to shift up earlier. Or maybe the power dilevery is so flat you can have a reaaally long eighth gear for the straights??WilliamsF1 wrote:What Jenson says is questionable

with the fuel flow limit and rev. limit the power from the ICE should be nearly constant from 10k to 15kn smikle wrote:Because of the torque maybe...

You'll probably most of the rpm's available to run at monza, where's other tracks you'll be flat out near the fuel flow limit at ~10krpm, so you 'll be in 8th gear by ~220 ish.WilliamsF1 wrote:What Jenson says is questionable

because the power band is so wide, he may shift at 10,500 instead of 15000 in each gear.WilliamsF1 wrote:What Jenson says is questionable

He will shift gears so that in the new gear he will be at 10,500rpm. This will not require him to rev to 15k.ringo wrote:because the power band is so wide, he may shift at 10,500 instead of 15000 in each gear.WilliamsF1 wrote:What Jenson says is questionable

The 8th gear will be tall ofcourse, but the engine will allow him to shift to eight and still get decent acceleration.

If not they can put a small slit in the single pylon and claim it as two pieces
