I had a question. Instead of richening the fuel mixture to get fuel to the exhaust, why not just have another fuel injector after the exhaust, right before the “rocket”. Then it can be fully controlled and regulated manually or remotely on the fly without effecting the engine at all. Basically have adjustable boost at any RPM.

WRC is hard to watch on TV. Even though it’s crazy hard. F1 fan since 1998 here. Never cared to watch anything else. Also, you should do something for motorcycles 🏍️ racing. Originally from 🇪🇬 but moved to 🇨🇦 ten years ago.

Your classification is a bit weird, Nascar could be in road racing 😅. For me the classification should be : Open Wheel, Sport Prototype, GT, Touring Car, Rallye, Rallye-Raid and Karting.

Stiffer springs don't require more hp to use because they harder to open as much of that energy is returned to the engine when the spring pushed against the cam as the valve closes. The increased hp cost is mostly from the increased friction from more pressure against the moving parts.

Just to correct a long-standing myth, nitrogen is not "more stable" or better in most ways than air, which is 80% nitrogen. The benefit is that commercially-available compressed nitrogen contains essentially no water, while compressed air always contains some water. First, the water can condense, changing the pressure in the system. Water vapor has about half the molecular weight as air, making it more likely to permeate through the containers. So, yes, nitrogen is better, but not because it is more "stable". Both it and air follow the perfect gas law.

It's genuinely a shame this system adds substantial parasitic drag, and compression drag. I believe the Desmodromic valve used by Ducati is far superior. The valve actuator both lifts the valve and closes it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmodromic_valve The main reason this is superior is that the service lifetime of them is not dependent on high-pressure gas seals, or the perfection of the very many barrels in which they run. :P While these silly low-lifespan F1 items are interesting - as per usual in the 21st century F1 tech has zero relevance (ever!) to production cars, now or in the future. Which is another big shame on F1.

@johnmannion7648Ай бұрын
In 1970s motorcycle production racing, standard parts were allowed to be modified for 'rider preference ' meaning footpegs and exhausts for ground clearance etc. Stan Shenton of Boyers of Bromley took the cams from his Triumph Tridents, machined the lobes clean off and reproduced them to his own spec. Because his riders preferred them that way .

Volvo and Saab (Swedish automobiles), have always been at the forefront of automobile innovation. I believe it's Volvo who invented the security belt, today a standard. In 73 my mother and us, his 4 children, had an accident, in Angola. We rolled out of the road, several times. If it wasn't a Volvo, I wouldn't be here, telling the story. Everyone got out of the car, UN-harmed!

Great videos. Loving this series. I have some questions; 1. Why do the spring and damper units angle so much backwards? Is this to gain additional stroke length? Because this can’t be to increase overall wheel travel as the wheel must still move straight up and down viewed from the side 2. Will many rallies have such variance that shim stacks will vary? Or are adjustments just accomplished via the bypass needle adjustment? Thank you
