“We’ve had access to the Ferrari simulator in Maranello and yes we have been using it, but not in anger,” said Komatsu. “We use it for pre-season but during the season, what we can do in the Maranello sim is
but we’ve been improving steadily and have come into this weekend confident that we can do a good job. Congratulations to the team – having a 1-2 here is brilliant and a great reward for everyone’s hard work.
The DRS is a movable flap on the rear wing of an F1 car designed to make the car go faster. When closed, the flap is an integral part of the wing creating downforce, but it can be moved to an "open" horizontal position when the driver pushes a button on the steering wheel. This ...
“Formula E is by far, not the fastest car I’ve ever driven,” explains reigning Formula E champion and Audi Sport driver Lucas Di Grassi. “Nor is it the most powerful. Nor does it have the most downforce. Or grip.” A pause. “But… it’s one of the most difficult to control....
That’s debatable. Today’s GT3 has had the most significant tweaks yet, including a huge helping of extra downforce and, for the first time in a 911, double-wishbone front suspension that's key to improving its front-end grip. It's still not for the fainthearted, though. ...
The upshot of fan-assisted downforce is you don’t need to go quickly to get the benefit. How does 500kg of negative lift from 0mph grab you? McMurtry itself is the brainchild of Irishman Sir David McMurtry, who worked on Concorde’s supersonic Rolls-Royce Olympus engines. His company lo...
last year that some teams reduced a lot of the downforce for quali performance but then in the race after a few laps the tyres were gone. It’s just finding the right, and the sweet spots in between that quali pace and the race pace and where you’re going to set up your car. ...
Marcel Fässler #7: “I stopped my first lap after the rear got too light for me at one stage. Later, in the fast Blanchimont corner, I lost some downforce behind two rivals and, to top it off, made a braking mistake in front of the chicane.” ...
I'm on a bit of a downward slope in terms of enjoyment, but still think it's amazing - the best of this game is just brilliant. I wish it was a bit more challenging (or maybe I should stop saving so often?), and I've got more nanites than I know what to do with, but ...
Rapid chargers always have captive cables, so no need to bring your own, but the other kinds may require you to bridge the gap between charger and car yourself - your EV will come with a set of cables and adapters to do just this. ...
