2009 F1 aerodynamics rules

[cosm1]

What cause the 2009 aerodynamics rules about top speed and the corner speed?

[wesley123]

The cars have an enormous lack of downforce, due to the sidepod wings removal. The drag is reduced by 20%

The rules arent clear so i dont know how bodywork limits are etc.
If he rules where more clear some of my ideas could be even raced or tried.

Ok thanks, i think that with the 180 cm of the front wing the top speed will be decreased, maybe in monza the top speed will be about 330 km/h..?

Where have you sourced that drag figure? The only mention I have seen of an actual drag reduction percentage was in RCE V18N11 and they stated 10% (but of course that was a modified F2004 chassis).

I got the drag thing from here too, and i read it in some articles, anyway, that aint much compared to the downforce loss, so actually the drag to downforce levels have been increased.

The downforce loss is expected to be 20-30%...

I expect drag to be a little bit less than 2008 but not largely different.
