[MVRC] Mantium Virtual Racecar Challenge 2016

[LVDH]

with the cooling flow silly question but we just double the flow for the whole car?

Yes, after releasing the results I will improve the post-processing tool so it will be more clear next time.

Breaking this silence...
I'll say that Mantium's post processing images are truly awesome: the third great thing, after the discovery of Paraview and SurfaceLIC [-o<
They've given me the chance to see what I couldn't see before... I'm noticing so many aspects of my car that don't work (I shouldn't be so happy though, should I...?).
Also, the new management of boudary layer cells seems to be more..."harsh" towards our beloved airflows, which is good. It would be great to implement second order equations as soon as possible, too!

About my car...

If Variante's cooling devices are ok I think he will be on the top. Otherwise JJR and HP are the cars that impressed me more.

unfortunately I don't have many hopes about my cooling performance, especially after seeing the post processing images... I'm experiencing a recirculation volume, which is bigger than predicted by OCCFD, just in front of my radiator. Nonetheless, I'm generally happy with my cooling layout.

Maybe I'll release a technical analysis of what doesn't work on my car, why, and what improvements can be made.

I agree!

I think that with the new cooling rules and the new mesh settings (and without strange tricks with the cooling inlets bc) we will not see unrealistic details and performances with more than 10000N and df/dr ratio above 5 (ex. my 2016 KVRC car).

[LVDH]

Glad to see that you do not only like the post-processing but notice these small details.
Tomorrow you will get your results. As the entire MVRC staff will be busy with spending a nice weekend my master-plan of releasing them at the standard F1 time will not happen. You will get them a bit earlier. I hope you can all sleep well.

[LVDH]

OK guys, here you go:

Congratulations to CAEdevice. Lets hope that the tight pack behind him catches up quickly and puts him back to where he feels the most comfortable.

[Alonso Fan]

Hah, knew I'd be last

Congrats to CAEdevice

How much engine power did each team have?

P.S. Thanks for all the hard work you guys have put in to make this possible. Enjoy your weekend

[RicME85]

Wow MantiumFlow has produced a real shake up of the form book.
Well done guys.
Ive had a look at joining but retro fitting the intro body isnt really that easy,

[HP-Racing]

Congratulations CAEdevice!

@MVRC staff: Are there going to be any rule changes für the next race?

[CAEdevice]

Sorry for the delay, I was busy with a burnout after the finish line.

Thank you to MantiumCAE for organizing the challenge, and to all the teams.
I can't wait to see the numbers and to race in a real (despite virtual) circuit as Nurburgring.

I was sure that I had guessed the podium, but CAEdevice performance ruined everything : I'll do better next time .

[variante]

Congratulations to Matteo! He's finally fullfilling part of his dream
Excellent tactical choice too!

Let's wait for the full data to understand to whom we should congratulate

@MVRC staff: Are there going to be any rule changes für the next race?

Ich hope not

[CAEdevice]

Congratulations CAEdevice!

@MVRC staff: Are there going to be any rule changes für the next race?

Thank you! Congratulations to you too.

About the rules: 2nd order equations and free areas for cooling inlets/outlets would be welcome.

[LVDH]

Hah, knew I'd be last

I checked your car more than once. The discrepancy between the effort you must have put in it and the results are very far apart. You now pretty much have to redesign everything.

About the rules: 2nd order equations and free areas for cooling inlets/outlets would be welcome.

The rules will not change until the low down force tracks. But I am only planning to relax the restriction on cooling as they are not really necessary and it is your problem how to get the air flow through the radiators.
Second order will probably not come this season. We will have to wait how good your CAD quality gets. But it does not have to improve too much from what I have seen this race. I will be running tests throughout the season with your cars.

Let's wait for the full data to understand to whom we should congratulate

I will try to release all number this evening. Now I have to go, eat fish and drink wine.

[etsmc]

Well a place higher than i predicted so happy with that. .

[AratzH]

5th place! That is way better than I expected. My car was.... very illegal, can I know how much penalty I got?

Apart of that I'm so happy that we could start the championship again and see that everything went smoothly.

Can't wait to properly try Mantiumflow and start fighting for the podium again!

[JJR]

Congratulations to Matteo,Variante and HP-Racing.
Matteo really deserve to win.
Im happy for my 4th plce because my car was illegal.
...lesson learned...
