Another thing I didn't really touch on in the video but is worth mentioning - SCx of 0.38 for a car of this nature is insanely low (especially with exposed rear faces on both the front and rear tyres) - it's worth noting that Adrian didn't personally quote SCz in his interview ("I'm not very good at those numbers" when told kg@speed) , but he did quote efficiency as that was the number he knew off the top of his head. That may indicate that the SCz and SCx may be higher than indicated by the 1700kg@150mph being widely reported, which seems a bit more reasonable given everything else being said about the car.
@43ten435 ай бұрын
As you mentioned, I’m very surprised by the 1700kg downforce figure. For a car that’s supposed to be faster than an F1 car around Silverstone, I was expecting double or triple that figure at 150mph. Does this mean that it has some kind of crazy sticky qualifying tires from Michelin? I don’t doubt Adrian Newey at all, I’m just also wondering where the lap time is coming from.
@BoostandEthanol5 ай бұрын
Given Adrian talked about the need to back off downforce to protect the tyres, do you think the efficiency could be quoted at a lower speed trim (higher CL, higher CD, but significantly more efficient)? And that while it might not be capable of a flashy marketing number like 1700kg @ 150mph with a CL/CD of 16, it's absolute most efficient aero speed range is actually less force because it happens at a lower speed.

A bit annoying about the disagreement between the sources, I think we will have to wait and see what they say on car launch @BoostandEthanol In the top gear interview, Adrian says all the aero devices start backing off above 240kph, so I don't think that's the case.

around 23:00 I wonder if those stagnation points (weird centre treatment, and behind the tyres) are kind of intentionally sandwiched in there to increase the differential from the inside of the diffuser to the outside. It might well just be a set of styling compromises from making that bridge/beamwing thing a styling element, but looking at how the expansion progresses in the diffuser, and the way he/they want to run the front wing in terms of the overall wake of the car, and then the fact that you've kind of siphoned off all the high energy air off the top of the diffuser with all those slots, perhaps those little stagnations are decently well handled by a foot or two downstream.

I maybe wrong but I think that no one has ever been able to make such a low rear wing work with tunnels. Many teams tried it (Lotus, Brabham, Willy, Arrows,..) in the turn of 70/80s. No one got the balance right and there was quite a sensitivity to pitch and ride height (porpoiging modes). Also C-group this was tried but skipped or compromized. There is that factor of ride height per total chord of the car. Anyway, for an aerodynamicist this looks like a fantastic functional art work. I’d say the older Adrian gets the more beautiful his cars become. What I find regrettable as a trend is that we are losing the beautiful feminine sexy forms of old prototypes and we get more complex aerostructures. This a aerowise fantastic but I’d still say the 330 P4 is still the benchmark in aesthetics.

Do they say something about what speed the L/D ratio refers to? With having fans on the car, it really would depend on what speed they are using to calculate their efficiency. Depending on how they use the fans, they can already get quite high downforce values at low speeds, which results in a very high SCz and thus very good efficiency at lower speeds. Maybe they did this to get to the L/D of 16 and at higher speeds, when the fans are proportionally contributing less to the overall downforce, their efficiency is not actually 16 anymore.

I was wondering how they generate a lot of downforce with the diffuser. Because the expansion ratio does not look all that large. While the exit of the diffuser is massive the smallest area does not seem very small which makes me curious about how the generate all of that downforce.

thats the point, its creating low pressure areas to suck the car to the ground

@@miguelcebriancarrasco1907 I know how a diffuser works. But it doesn't look to have a large enough expansion ratio to create the suction to meet the downforce numbers Newey has said. I definitely believe Newey but I just don't understand how this specific diffuser creates all its downforce.

Kyle can you please do a video analysis of all the useless aero devices on the sporty version of the Ford Custom, loved by bogans the world over. Thanks in advance 🙏

Something i do wonder (I'm by no means experienced in aero, mostly know some basics) but how come in cars like this they always try to make the aero more smooth. The aero on the RB17 is very smooth and doesnt have kicks and vortex generators like F1 cars do for example. Is it purely not needed to generate downforce and to not increase drag, or is it cost dependant or way harder to simply develop and balance?

Aero doesn't have to be increasingly complicated to be effective. F1 cars are working within hard constraints of the rulebook and the simple fact of having open wheels.

@@StellarGale I do know that aero can be simple and very effective like with these cars. But i've also wondered why not make them more complicated, it's a way to probably add a shitton of downforce. I've always assmued cost, and it's much harder to develop and get it balanced and such. But then again i'm no expert so

@@BlissifiedHH Thats also the point where you reach diminishing returns and the cost to performance ratio begins to swing heavily towards cost. I also believe that, without regulations, it just might not really be all that necessary because you don't have so many legality areas to work with.

The guy from SHMEE video said ; "1700kg of downforce a around 160kmh" is this even realistic ?

Adrian Newey said the same thing. This car is being designed to be able to achieve F1 levels of laptime and performance. There's a full walkaround of the car with Newey on the Top Gear youtube Channel.

Hello, I’m sure you are very busy; however, I am going into my first year of engineering with the dream of reaching formula 1. I was looking for any advice or possible connections that could help me achieve my dream. Any help or input would be extremely beneficial and insightful

Well, this car would have more engine hp and the hybrid deployment would be unlimited and slightly stronger than F1. Going hybrid, I wonder whether they threw in an F1 MGU-H to fill the battery up when the engine is putting out serious power and exhaust flow. That could (help) make the 200 hp hybrid effectively available at all time around the lap.
