TLicense Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 bloody phillistine. Here's a quick run-down:- BMW have bought Sauber BMW offered Williams engine Williams check out Cosworth - it was much better than the BMW Williams sign up with Cosworth for 1 year. Rumour is they will go with Toyota next year. I'm buggering off to Midland in May (Although I may get away in April) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Sh1t i really am out of touch.. That would be good if they ended up with Toyota engine in the future. Would have worked out nice for some Toyota input on your engine "cough cough" if you stayed, like pinch one lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially as I know Mike Gascoyne quite well from our days at Jordan. Two chances of getting info of them though Bob and Feck all. Engine suppliers tell the teams they supply absolutely nothing about their engines. Even to the point of the only way we know how much HP they have is by running torque sesnors on the driveshafts.

Branners Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 is it me or are the F1 cars now just becoming a mess of little winglets to replace the huge big wings they used to be allowed to have? That car seems to be sprouting bits everywhere. JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLicense Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 Bloody right it's sprouting bits everywhere. I've spent feckin' ages adding little bits here and there. It's all downforce in the bag. 2008 reg's though - no winglet's, chimney's, exhaust exit bumps. Basically smooth sidepods like mid '90s. Back to "good ole days", only 2 bodywork updates per year. Seriously, I'm going to be out of a job if it goes ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 It's very shiney. Did you se the feature in JTuner with the BAR team going for the topspeed record? It was interesting to note how completely different the aerodynamics had to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 Yeah, good to see they're wasting resource doing that kind of publicity rubbish. Suppose it pays the bills at the end of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB My avatar is a shot of the car with no suspension, barge-boards (forward or rear), chimney's, exhuast exits, fllip-ups, winglets, rear wing, mid wing, roll-hoop wing, or side impact wings.

It's nice to see a team doing this kind of thing. Pushing different boundries. From a design point of view I bet you'd quite enjoy that challenge for a change in environment?

From a design point of view I bet you'd quite enjoy that challenge for a change in environment? They must be very confident about their car's abilities to be able to waste such a massive resource like this. If you plot downforce gained in a wind tunnel against time, you can see there's a definite upward slope. For the amount of time they had that car in the wind tunnel, that slope would have been flat. Every other teams would have been still advancing. In F1, you've got to keep pushing. The trade off is whether it was worth the publicity, which will generate more revenue, which will in turn be put towards more development. Speculate to accumulate maybe? I guess only time will tell.

TLicense Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 Crap car that. No room for ICE in it, innit! Of there will be plenty of ice. Lot's of it stuffed into the sidepods before the race to keep the engine cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
