erol_h Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I just watched this program on bbc iplayer about the design of the f1 cars and thought some you guys might be interested in the program. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b011dcb2/Richard_Hammonds_Engineering_Connections_Series_3_Formula_1/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruity_south Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 i watched it and thought it was pretty interesting. the whole carbon fibre bit was the best, specially with the prop tests. if i had the cash i would certainly have one on the supra for the v8 swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erol_h Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 I was suprised at how much stronger carbon fibre compared to steel the piston test was also very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobapple Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I was expecting that steel prop to make an almighty bang when it let go, so surprised when it just twisted and stretched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruity_south Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 i must admit it felt a bit trippy watching the steel one bend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
