The Nordschleife is one of the most insane race tracks in the world. Its also one of the most coveted with countless records fought for by nearly every automotive brand. Today i do my best to build the quickest road going race car for the Nordschleife. Except i build a Rotary powered car. It uhhh.. Also has 700HP and revs to 10,000RPM.
Did i mention that this car is a deathtrap?
Join me as i build a GT1 Style racecar that competes with the Mercedes Benz CLK GTR. I design, engineer and drive it in BeamNG

[@jonaszahid3892]

The only thing i would change is that you made it with an I3. One rotor has 3 burning chambers, so for a racecar you would wanna use a V12 as a base.

[@splintergp]

yeah, technically speaking you could call the 1.3L a 3.6L or something

[@hugoku8755]

@@splintergp Nope, by exemple the rx7 13b act a little like a 1.3 liter inline 6. The 4 rotor of this car and the 787b, him, act like an inline 12 of 2.6 liter (2.6 for the 787b at least, but i think it could be the same for this car cause it seems to be the optimal 4 rotor size).

[@inzanex36a89]

The rotor rotates at one third of the speed of the eccentric shaft meaning for every 360° of eccentric shaft rotation, only 1 combustion event occurs per rotor. This is 2 combustion events every 720° of crank/eccentric shaft rotation. A normal 4 stroke engine has one combustion event every 720° of crankshaft rotation per piston. This means that rotaries double the combustion events and double the displacement compared to piston engines. Meaning the 13B functions as a 2616cc I4, the 20B as a 3924cc V6 and the 26B a 5232cc V8. Many racing series around the globe consider rotaries as double displacement.

[@hugoku8755]

@@inzanex36a89 Thats more for comparaison than in reality. The displacement is the size of combustion rooms, here 1.3 liter.

[@inzanex36a89]

@@hugoku8755 but due to the fact that 1300 cc of air is being combusted once every 360° of engine rotation, 720° would mean that that 1300cc is being combusted twice per rotor.

[@nochilljay6369]

A more equivalent engine would've been a 4 liter. The reason the 26b (787b/imsa rx7 engines) was so dominant is that they exploited the displacement rule. Displacement measurements for a piston engine is how much air it moves through 720 degrees of the crankshaft, well Mazda used the same formula for the rotary engine. The exploit comes into play when you acknowledge that for a typical 2 rotor (13b, the actual motor platform from the first gen gsl-se all the way through the third gen rx7) only 4 of the 6 chambers have entered the exhaust "stroke". Meaning that through a full cycle of all 6 rotor faces the 13b is actually like just shy of 2 liters of displacement. Math may be slightly off for the 26b because of how the rotors are aligned, but the equivalent displacement would be well over 3 liters nonetheless.

[@LucasBixley]

with displacment when the piston is at its lowest point it is the full area in liters that if you were to fill it with water would occupy then multiplied by the amount of pistons with a rotory it is a much lower displacement from that witch is the normal measurement of displacement and is why its measured in liters

[@xenokyomi]

Incorrect. The displacement of an engine is based on total swept volume (Or rather how much air can be moved at one time). A rotary's displacement was calculated on it's swept volume for the chamber that's undergoing combustion only, which would be only a single face of the rotor. It's where the some 650 cc per rotor displacement comes from. Mazda (and others) argued that since only a single rotor face undergoes combustion at any one time, only a single face should count, since the engine itself is only able to consume a singe face worth of air at any given time. This means in the two rotor 13b, the displacement is 1.3L. Each rotor can only combust 650 cc of air at once, giving a displacement of 1.3L. The discrepancy comes from the fact we consider a single rotor to be one chamber, and not three separate chambers. A standard piston engine typically goes through it's entire combustion volume in 720 degrees, whilst a rotary engine is able to do the same in only 360 degrees. Given this, racing regulations changed to state that an NA Rotary (Turbos add another multiplier on displacement for all engines) should have it's displacement multiplied by 2 to give a rough equivalent to a piston engine. The 13b is still a 1.3L engine by classification, however it is equivalent to a 2.6L since in the same time a standard engine consumes all it's volume, a rotary can do it twice over. The 26b is equivalent to a 5.2 litre engine, not a 4 litre. Furthermore, no the 787b was not dominant. In fact it was significantly slower. It only won Le Mans in 1992 because it was significantly more fuel efficient, and reliable. The displacement of the engine largely did not matter. Rotary race cars were largely middle of the pack in all race series in performance categories, aside from a few exceptions that performed remarkably well despite largely punching above it's weight, against cars with significant more torque, and in turn power. The IMSA Rx7 was never the most powerful car on the grid, nor was it ever the best in any specific performance category, it was just so well rounded and by quote from the drivers "unkillable" and "It would just keep running" that made it perform remarkably well.

Perfect upload my friend, have just smashed that like button ✌

[@Dr_Monitor]

In the off-chance you actually read this one, heres a challenge idea: Say the designers and engineers got their plans mixed up and the resulting car is a bit wonky. Drivetrain is front engine transverse AWD with a 3.6L 60° naturally aspirated V6, and the car was intended to be a mid-size sport sedan(IRL equivalent would be an Acura TLX). The designers however, were told they were designing a full-size panel van (IRL equivalent would be a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter). The deadline to have a plan for the car was too close to go back to the drawing board, so they had to hope for the best that their new sports van would actually work. Body should be designed with being as large a panel van as possible, engine should be between 350 and 400hp, suspension tuned for handling, transmission tuned for quick acceleration, brakes should be beefy as well.

[@hugoku8755]

Just : as the 787b was capable of around 800 horsepower with his 2.6 N/A 4 rotor, and that it seems to be the perfect 4 rotor size so this one must have the same size : it is the successor, so it is better. So this engine must have around 1000 horse powers N/A (cause the wankel, as a new technology, goes better fast). So, you gived this car the desavantage of a "low power" and a turbo lag that it dont should have in reality.

there is really no reason for wankels to still be developed bc they are just an inferior design...

Rotary are pretty good at racing though, also there are other model of rotary based on wankel that still continue to be developed and have less issues, it can be a nice engine especially if you consider a more sport market since the concerns matter less for those.
