listen at 3:47, o may days what a sound,

The technical innovations first realized in F1 during the '90's are now just starting to take hold on road cars today (Semi-automatic gearbox, traction control, active suspension). With no more technical innovation coming from F1, how do we expect to develop any new road car technology over the next 20 years?

[@darkoneforce2]

@Brayds I know about the Newey X1. . But in race-trim it could have an electronic top speed limit like most german cars and/or a lower power output coupled with less fuel and fuel flow restriction. . That way performance, efficiency and relevance would be combined. . What we have today are very inefficient racecars aerodynamic wise (way too much aero drag witch adds lots of turbulence) and a lot of unnecessary ballast for balance.

[@senninho24]

agreed. this car would be quite driven off the track by the equally dominant F2002, which isn't even today's technology.

[@JG-dx5wi]

Not if it used the same rubber as a 2002 car. People forget how the evolution of tires since the early 90's is responsible for a large portion of the lap time improvements. Don't kid yourself.

i would like to see a comparison between this car and a car of nowadays to see which goes faster do ypu have any idea?

[@darkoneforce2]

True, Grand Prix racing was about pushing the envelope back then. Today it's just freezes, bans and restrictions. It's not real automotive racing anymore.

[@tyresmoke]

the whole faster not faster debate is hilarious... these electronic dream f1 cars were overtaken by less electro managed cars of the mid 90s... superior aero!

[@JG-dx5wi]

Not hardly. Superior rubber, which has nothing to do with the car's aero is responsible for most of the gains. Aero volumes became much more restricted after these cars.
