Re: [MVRC] Potential rule changes for 2023

Hello, I would like to take part too. It would be my first time. Any idea with the time schedule for the new year? When the new rules will be completed? Thank you
Totally agreed that the cooling targets are hard to reach, but to be fair hitting 1.5 midR with fairly f1 like inlets and outlets have been relatively easy for me and my partner. It is hard to make sure internal flow is guided nicely and your outlet condition is happy and the big engine and large need for an outlet surely makes the performance part harder. I would suggest reducing it to 2.5 rather than 2 to keep the part of the challangevariante wrote: ↑05 Mar 2023, 23:38This is a variant of my car from last year, modified to satisfy a cooling requirement of 2m3/s (from last year's 3m3/s).
As you can see, our cars would have a better chance to reflect F1 design language.
Moreover, reaching the cooling target would be less tedious and labor intensive.
(i also used the real F1 rule-boxes, allowing for a wider cooling exit at the back, as well as a smaller engine)

The side effect of forcing higher cooling targets is that people will prefer to reach them in weird ways, rather than to optimize a realistic F1 sidepod. Punching big holes in the sidepods is just easier, more appealing.beschadigunc wrote: ↑06 Mar 2023, 02:09Totally agreed that the cooling targets are hard to reach, but to be fair hitting 1.5 midR with fairly f1 like inlets and outlets have been relatively easy for me and my partner.

Truth is nobody knows, even the CFD-guy/organizer...
There is a lot of truth in this statement. Right now, it looks like you should get an invite to the new season rather soon. We want the first race to coincide with the Monaco GP.
