There was some chatter about its ability to act as an addition physical sealant of the floor.Emag wrote: ↑15 Mar 2022, 12:03It must be intentional, because I doubt they would leave it bottoming out like that if it wasn't.mwillems wrote: ↑15 Mar 2022, 11:53Am I misremembering? Did we have skid plates on the floor that other cars didn't that might cause this? I have some dim recollection of unusual skid plates on the floor from somewhere!SmallSoldier wrote: ↑15 Mar 2022, 03:51
That would be my guess (mic placement)… I hope they change it, pretty annoying actually

"Right from the start, unlike most other cars, McLaren’s MCL36 wasn’t sealing its floor by running it almost on the ground. They have set its skid blocks at a height above the porpoising threshold.
Double congratulations then!!! I would like to tell you that it will be short lived… But mine is going to turn 10 in a couple of days and I still have baby brain!
Where are those skid blocks located? In the plank close to the T-Tray? Or is the assumption that they are placing skid blocks on the floor itself? I thought those weren’t allowed in the regulations.Balalu wrote: ↑15 Mar 2022, 22:26"Right from the start, unlike most other cars, McLaren’s MCL36 wasn’t sealing its floor by running it almost on the ground.

In footage from Lando Norris’ cockpit from testing, the skid blocks’ light skittering over the Bahrain track surface at high speed could be heard quite distinctly, but there was virtually no porpoising." - Mark Hughes

AFAIK they are still there, placed along the centre line.SmallSoldier wrote: ↑15 Mar 2022, 22:37Where are those skid blocks located? In the plank close to the T-Tray?

The skid blocks on the plank are there to ensure that the minimum thickness of the plank is met after a race (since it’s made out of wood)… The reason why they are banned on the floor “edge” is to avoid teams using actual skirts (like in the Lotus)Balalu wrote: ↑15 Mar 2022, 23:09AFAIK they are still there, placed along the centre line.SmallSoldier wrote: ↑15 Mar 2022, 22:37Where are those skid blocks located?

Isn't safety the whole point of skid blocks? Why would they disallow them?

Just reading about it, it is "Jabroc" that sits underneath the titanium plates and is used to measure and ensure the cars are not getting too close to the ground. A type of veneered high density wood.
