F1 quick rule change vid
- Thread starter 172Ben
- Start date
Meg R26 + Mk4 GTTDI
havent seen it before. Good find though.
Think I might actually watch it this year. Last year I didnt find it that great and only watched the odd grand prix

Can't wait for the new season

Really good vid!
Should be an awesome season, as long as the FIA stop licking Ferraris ass!
It should be good watching the first race, with no idea of who will come out on top!

Is it me or do the darker coloured cars look better than the others this season?
RB5, and F60 both look like crackers. As did the FW31 in test livery.
Test Livery
Love the small details on the RB5
Shame it only managed 14 laps before the gearbox oil overheated. Perhaps due to the small side pods?
Also no pictures of the diffuser as its supposed to be super dooper

Brown.
Boost buttons!!!.... looks and sounds like it would be worth watching ( non F1 Fan here 
)
)I wouldn't like to sit on that KERS, but it does look interesting. Do you think it will be available in the Twingo/Clio/Megane R29?
Will be interesting to see what complaints there are with regards to the various ideas/components used on the cars, iirc all are technically within the regulations, but there have been some very interesting ways of 'bending' them...like increasing the area of the diffuser by incorporating bodywork into it, and not to mention those insane mirror stalks.
With everyone starting from a clean piece of paper I imagine there will be some toys thrown out of prams when teams didn't think of something that others have, for example, what the hell is that thing hanging under the nose cone of the RB5.

as said, i may watch it this year. Haven't watched it in years.... it actually gave me narcolepsy every single race... it was Uber boring.
This looks like they've thrown so many variables in there, that its never going to be as straight a race as previous (my perception anyway)

And the weight penalty of the system.
BMW M135i
Yeah i think lots of teams will push the new rules to the limit and maybe a bit more.
That under the RB5 is just a weight. Its just there to keep the cars center of gravity low

I think KERS will be immense to watch... but I doubt many teams will release it for quite a while. I don't think that there is a massive advantage to it yet, the amount of time you would gain (in "boost") may only make up the difference in lap times from the added weight that comes with them. Then again, maybe some of the back runners will run for that very reason?! But hey, i'm no expert. I guess it'll all become clear after Oz

The cars have to weigh 605kg minimum. KERS wont increase the weight of the car it just gives them less play with the weigh distribution
BMW M135i
The FIA want it to work like a push to pass. Champ cars used to have a Push to pass button where the driver could press a button and they would get a burst of power.
If I remember correctly, the KERS 'boost' is artificially limited to 80bhp at the moment. I assume it would have no effect flat out either, as there is a rev limit in place.
I think a lot of people are expecting a real obvious 'boost' where the car surges forward for a couple of seconds, but in reality we won't actually see it happening. Hopefully though, with the massive aero changes to remove the dirty air from behind the cars, it should contribute enough to make overtake moves far more viable.
Just a shame so many of the identikit tracks will put a massive dent in any potential increase in overtaking. I think it's safe to say that Valencia will always be dull from a purely racing perspective, and you can add Hungary and Shangai firmly into the 'bore-fest' category as well. There are at least 5 GPs that are only going to be remotely exciting if a major incident (or interesting weather) occurs.

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU
I think it would be used more for say coming out the last corner and hitting it to get more of a boost in acceleration to get passed some one/ Like you say it wont change the top end.
BMW M135i
well the cars never really hit max revs in top gear in case they catch a slipstream so i wonder if the teams will do something similar?
