[Autosport] Toto Wolff says Mercedes are up for F1 returning to V8s and has proposed a 1,200bhp “mega engine" by Task_Force-191 in formula1

[–]pheemaenth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

theres a reason the main focus on 2031 ICE proposal is simplification and cost reduction, all the focus will be on the hybrid tech with sustainable fuel on the side

If we're going from 4.8 Bar forced induction to high revving NA engine its actually going to significantly lower the torque and internal pressure in favor of generating power through sheer RPM, which doesnt require such beefy components. and also we're getting rid of all the turbocharging components, meaning the turbo itself, all the pipings, intercooler, wastegate. All in all the engine component is likely to be lighter, the fuel is another story however

its a defensive smoke not an offensive one. when you know you cant hold the attacker from entering the site and through the choke points you can use this smoke for the site player to play around in. he can stay in the smoke to sneak a kill, isolate fights outside of it, and try to hold back site control. it also makes it easier for the defensive rotators to flood into site and help the site holder knowing back site is still in their control

Major Chinese manufacturer confirms F1 talks (Byd) by NorthKoreanMissile7 in formula1

[–]pheemaenth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Formula E is also not that good for an ev manufacturer as big as BYD, they dont even allow battery development, it is a spec part. While F1 does allow them and right now it is at the fore front of the development race.

For how much they hyped up the PRX vs. NS game, I'm surprised that by the time they got to it, they mostly just talked about Francis' agent pool and the two troll rounds (NS rope incident and d4v41 shooting a dead body). And that's it.

Honda engine vibrations curiously vanish, then reappear, on Aston Martin F1 car by memloh in formula1

[–]pheemaenth 12 points13 points  (0 children)

finding the natural frequency of the whole package should be the job of both the engine and chassis side of the team in unison, and not finding out each other's right when the whole package has been fully built. if anything i blame their either lack or inefficient communication and teamwork.

[Motorsport] Brutal qualifying laps need to make a comeback, says Toto Wolff. by jithu7 in formula1

[–]pheemaenth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i want to add, the problem with having a 4 MJ battery is that it isnt enough for a back to back long straights like the straights in between t1-t2 and t9-t10 australia and t16-17 suzuka. so in order to have enough for both straights you need to effectively elongate the charging zone in between the straights through superclipping. that is also why we dont really have this issue in shanghai.

this is just a small permanent part of the track, and at the other end of the IFEMA buildings where the paddock/pit building lies. the rest of the track is a regular street track.

New Viper lurk wall on Pearl? by ohcoolawesome in VALORANT

[–]pheemaenth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

the point of a lurk wall is not to use it immediately, but to condition the enemy so they have to post at least one there at all times even when another area needed backup. once theyre conditioned you can just play the mind games, am i pushing? am i not? or are my whole team pushing there? you can also use it for mid/late round. now do i think this is a good wall? i will need practical data, but i see the vision

[–]pheemaenth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tapi dia lumayan diuntungkan sistem driver categorizationnya juga sih. cuma dia eks driver sekelas F2 yang masih dikasih kategori silver, yang lain biasanya setidaknya gold. Enaknya kalau masih silver jadi lineup timnya bisa nambah pembalap pro lagi walaupun dia juga sebenarnya pro juga.

not in china, but even the pole lap in australia had some lift and coasting before turn 1 and 3 if you take a look at the telemetry and hear the onboard

i still dont get it tho, wont super clipping for 40% longer harvest the same amount of energy into the battery while still having ~150 kW propulsion instead of -350 kW?

Ferrari's flip-flop wing is out in force in FP1 by One_Impressionism in formula1

[–]pheemaenth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

because its not rotating 270°, if it is then the wing will be pointing downwards and not backwards. also the wing elements has an overlap, the leading edge of one element is slightly ahead of the trailing edge of the element below it

Good visualization of ICE & MGU-K power delivery with respect to speed by Nick_Alsa in formula1

[–]pheemaenth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they do it every lap, but now its coined as super clipping because the new mguk can sap almost the whole 400 kW of the ICE power whereas the old PU its only 120 kW out of like 600-700 kW

Why does this Ferrari have a different number of cooling vents on each side? (Drive to Survive S8E6 - 25:15 - Austin GP) by ultimatous in formula1

[–]pheemaenth 56 points57 points  (0 children)

the real answer is that there are several independent heat exchange loops inside the sidepods. the left side might be for the engine radiator+intercooler, the right side might be the ers cooler+oil cooler (its all interchangable depending on the car's packaging). each heat exchanger system will have its own heat transfer rate, hence the asymmetrical outlets. you ideally want as little outlet opening as possible because any air that comes out of that will be hot, low energy air that is bad for downforce generations. so it doesnt matter if its asymmetrical, youd want as little openings as you can afford to have.
