Nico Hulkenberg's 2026 Audi Onboard Hotlap | 2026 Italian Grand Prix | Assetto Corsa Concept

[@tic2787]

The 2026 cars will be Frankensteins, the entire concept was designed around the engine, which is the priority, and how the car will run out of power at the end of a long straight, they decided to put something that seems dangerous called active aerodynamics

[@Spriteanimator1]

"something that seems dangerous called active aerodynamics" that reads like satire. Don't worry, nothing about this is new.

[@valevolans1356]

active aero is just drs for both wings. it will be safer because the lack of downforce willl be more balanced

[@tic2787]

@@valevolans1356 but what if a wing breaks? The front wing for example, it will be impossible to drive

[@Dakkyun]

​@@tic2787 well, wings even breaks nowadays i don't see how drivers can't adapt to a failed component

[@Martamania26]

They'll definitely have more downforce than this

[@Arado_Missile]

I don’t think so given how small the diffuser is on the new car

[@Dakkyun]

​@@Arado_Missile well, the diffuser was even smoller in the 2021 cars. Don't underestimate the wizards that are the f1 engineers.

[@Arado_Missile]

@@Dakkyun they look abt the same tho

[@Arado_Missile]

@@Dakkyun keep in mind most of the downforce was still generated from the wings before 2022, now most of the downforce is generated by the floor along with the wings but 2026 doesn’t rlly seem to have very high downforce generators at all bc the front wing is narrower and like I said with the diffuser it’s a lot smaller now

Buena vuelta. A la espera de quien acompaña a Nico

[@Dilstar22]

Did you use DRS on both straights?

[@ar_tc]

no more drs on the 26 regs

[@Dilstar22]

@@ar_tc sorry my bad totally forgot. The top speed seems slow 330 I thought it be faster I guess depends on wings level you ran and how much deployment used

[@Blobeb1007]

@@Dilstar22 there will be active aero and it seems like he didnt use it in the video

[@mysticaltree1945]

even if he does this, he still wont get a podium anyway 🤣
