Williams FW15C CVT

[@PIVEZ]

its like a F1 T-max

[@DanArnets1492]

Snowmobiles are closer to the always-screaming sound a F1 car would produce

[@lewishamilton9251]

F1 does not like innovations

[@GCoimbra40]

Theres one thing the cvt is worse than normal pad shift, just compare a normal road car with cvt and a normal car, the cvt is slow and ineficient

[@Panin2001oca]

⁠​⁠@@GCoimbra40not even true, I bet I could find a faster car than what you drive that has a cvt and it’ll get better mpg too

[@NoelCarson]

It just depends on how the CVT was designed. You can design it for highst torque at any rpm which will give you high efficiency and low mpg. Alternatively, you can just tune it to just have "highest gear" at all times for better mpg

[@fy5915]

@@GCoimbra40 not true, it s the fastest transmission on Earth, you re making a fool of yourself

[@GAZ87YORKSHIRESALT]

And this was 30+ year's ago fellas! It sounds w4nk and isn't this similar to what koenegzeg used for that hypercar?

[@0151Master]

I kinda like the sound of it

[@Jpmpmpm]

Such a masterpiece thats good creation

[@cynaptyc]

Too bad it was banned! Driver can focus on their performance even better and the car can stay in its power range longer! Would have been exciting again!

[@thomasp818]

It sounds so good to me.

[@Jpmpmpm]

First car F1 whit automátic gearbox

[@Tuitaye]

It certainly sounds odd…

[@gdogg3710]

you'd get 30% race distance out of the engine before it exploded more than likely...it wasnt built to just hang there at 12,000rpm for three quarters of the lap...you'd also have a job convincing renault to sink money into redesigning the engine to be more robust for an idea that was almost certain to get banned very quickly...

[@ongorevolution5966]

Yeah

[@JamesMHartmann]

The Williams was more reliable than everyone else that year

[@JamesMHartmann]

Aircraft engines constantly run at high rpm and are extremely reliable. Not a whole lot to do with it when you’re working with space-grade stuff.

[@hellomynameisturtle3767]

@@JamesMHartmannimagine a turbine engine car with a cvt, it would be perfect

[@kaplanzsolt5949]

It actually took me a really long time to realise that it is not real fotage

Some people who've downloaded the mod say it's undriveable, what setup were you using here?

[@ongorevolution5966]

Stock setup

[@Takumitsuu]

Is this Assetto Corsa? If so, could I have the mod link?

doesnt work anymore@@ongorevolution5966

[@cesraw]

CVT can't last an entire grand prix theoretically (due to heat and wear), so Williams weren't that sad when FIA banned it

[@olandiancaluya4717]

I remember may 2 stroke scooter back then

[@ccricar]

what game is this? can you link the mod pls

[@ongorevolution5966]

[@GAZ87YORKSHIRESALT]

Coulthards chin is still sticking out............

[@a64dx86]

i would be interested in the times, what it differs; same care, one "normal" gearbox, one cvt the times, top speed etc... And just from watching and hearing, it mindf"435s... Just hearing a constant engine noist, tricking you in that the car does not accelerate although you know what is happening... Just from watching you dont see the speed growing up on the straights as it is normally doing just watching normal, but then you realise, when the enging revs up and scream in wide-bandwith... feels unnatural... and surely that is a huge different on what you would expect... Cost, etc... tha psychological effect, how you have to unlearn your current driving style is huge impact... yeah great engineering, but you have to unlearn driving logic at all and relearn accelerating... Sure they banned it... that is also ingabe footage... (suspecting Assetto Corsa)...

[@ongorevolution5966]

Yes, it’s Assetto Corda

[@pe-peron8441]

F1 drivers got adapted to the use of paddle shifters and left-foot breaking from one year to the other. This would've certainly been a milder step

[@GAZ87YORKSHIRESALT]

Careful mate its wet

[@alejobuc50]

it's not V10

[@arnavramanujam9606]

It is.

[@protalukoriginal4560]

​​@@arnavramanujam9606 yeah it's what the car should sound like, in this occasion the car sounds like a late 90's CART

[@dasich5338]

AI generated? slick tyres in rain also

[@nbain66]

It's Assetto Corsa, they likely just didn't change the texture for the wet tires

[@mikema1976]

Suono terribile
