edit: for those that dont know what this is, its a system that runs your intercooler fluid through your car’s AC system like a Demon. Link below.
I have a brand new in box Forced Inductions systems InterChiller system i was going to use for a project but will not any longer, because I decided...
@BadOne nailed it. It was a patented piece of tech headed for the consumer market. My understanding is that the devices were found to have been pulse modulated to do exactly what was claimed, but that it couldnt be definitively proven they did it intentionally. Not sure when proof ever mattered...
those werent 1LE or PP cars used for those times, unfortunately.
the trap speeds tell the story. Even the 17-18 years with the manual boxes beat the supra trap speed by 2-3mph. With the ‘20 10speed boxes that number goes up to 5mph ~113 vs ~118. Thats a massive gap. 0-60 seems to vary all...
by the letter of the law you are absolutely correct. The notablely large asterisk i personally place on it is this:
-there was strong evidence that corroborated the theory that Ferrari was aliasing the pulse width of the HPFP in a pattern that intentionally masked peak output by tuning that...
i absolutely agree with your sentiment.
unfortunately, the fact it’s literally rocket science in reverse, populated by highschool mean girls a week before prom, with lawyers mixed in means its the very definition of complicated.
nope. I dont see a pattern.
-They specified in Bahrain during the driver brief what the track limits were going to be, and what you could and couldnt do in the expanded/modified track limit. Hamilton didnt break the guidance, Verstapen did.
-ferrari developed an active and intentional cheat to...
but it has a lot to do with why he wanted them changed and then wanted them back the year later. He also accuses redbull of pushing for the change, but theres no evidence either team did so.
is there any evidence either team did? If so, is that kind of lobbying prohibited? And if they did...
uh...im going to need a little more than one washed up driver from one team complaining on pure speculation that a tire change happened to suit the two teams that were kicking his ass.
thanks for the link though. I wasnt aware of a 2018 change of any kind tbh. Kind of ironic though, he bitched...
so mercedes has fia paid off to ensure their win, is what youre saying? C’mon man!
The tire change had nothing to do with mercedes. Pirelli made changes between 2018 and 2019 seasons, as is not unusual, and the mid 2019 season protest for change was over using the same tire to start as was used...
mercedes won the championship....why did they need the tires changed? That doesnt make sense.
das wasnt ruled illegal in 2020 despite the protest and they were allowed to finish the season with it -and without rule clarification. It was then banned explicitly the following season...:meaning...
Christian Horner pisses me off, and not because he gets to bang Ginger Spice.
its the bendy wing. Now that RBR finally has some engineers with a little medulla oblongata to them, he is fine with....ahem....creative interpretations of the rules. Everyone knows the rear wing has to be rigid. This...
short answer, yes....in part, at least.
there are a number of reasons various cars with pop/backfire on decel. Sometimes its for #BecuzRacecar tuner sets throttle lift ignition towards the bottom of the stroke when the exhaust valve is opening; some cars do it as an antilag strategy; some cars...
i dont think the supra has beaten a camaro or a mustang in any performance metric or around any track theyve been compared on that Ive seen so far? 0-60, 1/4 et, 1/4 mph, nurburgring,
i mean dont get me wrong, for my money it’s a supra too; but lets not forget how fast these American pony cars...
the point of a BOV is to vent pressure on throttle close so you dont back stall the compressor and blow the turbo like the recent thread we had in reference.
on B58 motors, boost is vented by a combination of cyl deactivation, waste gate opening, and valvetronic/vanos overlap strategies to take...
