thanks for reminding me how much of a shitty teammate Vettel is, though he seems to get along alright with Kimi
>>63689419
That's because Gimi dgaf whether anyone thinks he's #1, so Vettel doesn't feel compelled to sibling-rivalry sabotage him (and couldn't anyway).

Cool measurement of the power output of a Top Fuel nitro motor. Dynos can't handle it, so it's never been truly measured before now.
It's a big number.

whats the difference between this and regular HP, and what racing series vehicle produces the highest horsepower after drag racing?
>>63691334

Smh desu senpai
>>63691509
I'm guessing WEC but it's part hybrid so not continuous
>>63691509
>whats the difference between bhp and regular HP
Brake (or shaft) horsepower (bhp) is measured at the engine flywheel (pre- transmission), wheel horsepower (whp) is measured at the wheels (so it includes drivetrain frictional losses).
Chuck your car up on the dyno at your local speed shop and they'll be measuring wheel horsepower (usually inaccurately, since customers like bigger numbers). Pull the engine and put it on an engine dyno and you'll be measuring brake horsepower. A typical passenger car drivetrain will have about a 15% power loss, and passenger cars are rated in brake horsepower (again, male customers want bigger numbers).
For Top Fuel and Funny Car there's not much difference between bhp and whp because the cars are direct drive, with a clutch that goes 1:1 (lockup) about mid-run.
As far as power output of other racing motors, I can't say definitively but my money would be on motors for Unlimited class air racing. Engine power is usually limited by how quickly one can dissipate the waste heat and how long one wants the engine to live, so the airplane guys have all that 500mph air to keep the engine alive and thus can sustain 3,500 hp or so.
The Unlimited hydro guys are about the same, generally about 3,000+ hp, though they're usually using turbines and not piston engines.
Interesting Top Fuel math: to get a car from standing start to 500kph takes less than 400 total engine revs (0-500kph in 3 secs, engine rpm is 8,000 or less).

Nah, Vettel is going to close on Hamilton and Mercedes will give him a good enough car to match Vettel, add in his inevitable choke and the possible revival of Monaco Secondberg, and it should be bretty good. Also the Red Bull Renault unit is something I really want to see, IIRC didn't they help Renault with the KERS system during the v8's? I thought I read something about the way it was implemented in the RB8 gave it a form of TC.
>>63710120
Sorry, RB9.
So /f1/ what can we conclude from this?

yeah but they found out yesterday that they didn't have enough tecpro to surround the concrete barriers
fucking ridiculous oversight since the only reason they changed the track format from a figure 8 to the new simple one was so they could have a kart race at the end
>>63711883
>tecpro
I'm stunned they couldn't have gotten some from a track in the UK. Like Silverstone's got to have extra, also isn't that used in construction as barriers as well? Holy fuck guys.

>>63710005
f1 died back in 2009
/f1/ however will survive until formula 1 is replaced by formula e as the new reigning sport of open wheel racing
so basically soon enough
>>63710120
Renault never built the KERS unit in their old V8 engines, Red Bull did.
All Renault powered teams got a Renault engine which Red Bull bolted on a KERS system.
That is Renault has had such problems with this hybrid stuff. Merc and Ferrari had already developed stuff like it for F1 cars.
>>63713475
That's a bit out of context, weren't most if not all teams making their own KERS units back then?
>>63713579
That is, for the teams that opted to use KERS
>>63713579
In 2009 yes.
But in 2011 the manufacturers started doing it. I know Mercedes made the KERS unit for their customers teams and I'm pretty sure the same is true of Ferrari.
Renault because they never made the KERS unit could supply a team with a non-KERS engine to add one to which is what Williams did. but most teams just went to Red Bull who would sell them one.
I can't remember if Cosworth made one for 2011
>>63713929
Where is the real power loss on the Renault engine? Is it still just the lack of power compared the Mercedes due to the lack of split turbo.
>>63713929
Cosworth did not have any KERS in 2011, if memory serves
>>63710120
>tfw Rosberg beats Vettel in the last lap of the final race to win the WDC

>Implying Mercedes aren't going to just dominate next year even worse than this year

Those rules are going to be debated and argued about so much that they will be delayed and/or be reduced heavily until we are exited about some very insignificant change that Sky will big up as massive.
Karting race hype got me excited, too bad. Will they ever have season finale at Interlagos and then do a kart race afterwards?
>>63708222
>>63708222
>>63714320
honda has the split turbo and ferrari does not, so it's more than just the split turbo.
you have to have a powerful engine, good turbo boost and be able to recover energy well. energy recovery from braking is limited while energy recovery from the turbo is unlimited.
So whats left on racing in this year?
F1 next week and thats the end?

The black one standing next to him looks like a horse.
So /f1/ what car was the most dominant car a rookie started in? My mind goes to Hamilton's MP4-22 or JV's FW18.
>>63726187
FW18 probably because it's an actual championship winning chassis
>>63726868
the MP4-22 was more dominant than the FW18, had McLaren not given Hamilton #1 status Alonso would've walked the championship.
