dr_jekyll Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Yeah it's unfortunate the cost to make those engines hinders them being used,I bet they had a lovely soundtrack. unbelivable mate , i was abou 12 the first time i went to see the gp at silverstone and when barrichello came out from the pilane and naild it right infront of me with that sound a nearly wet myself , it was the happiest moment of my life . i literrally could not belive what i was seeing and hearing . i have been every year since and the car now to watch live seem far more tame than they used to , still verry impressive though. as you are in kent pop down to brands to watch the superleuge formula next yeat , have a listen to the v12s in them. savage is the only word i can think of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagman Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Is that the same for every engine? So the main cause of failures in high power engines is heat distribution throughout the engine,different stresses etc? yes , heat related ,oil viscosity,expansion,friction, heat cycling of materials etc - smaller engine sizes ,smaller power outputs less heat to contend with .so high rpms possible - smaller engines smaller mass to withhold heat also and bike engines are exposed to the airflow to a degree - less piston mass/con rod mass also helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
