Yeah it would be a great addition, Car threads seem to be the most logical place to discuss a quick team affair so its not really the users fault though, I don't ave much to say about Mclaren right now though.axle wrote:Maybe we need subsections for teams as well as cars and races?
Indeed. Works for Bernie. :-"Pup wrote:Divide and conquer - I know what you guys are up to.
So we talked about the team in the MP4-26 thread and now we're talking about the car in the team thread!McG wrote:Looking forward to seeing the finished product, it looks very raw in testing.
I know! I think the mods are oversimplifying things by trying to seperate such things.volarchico wrote:So we talked about the team in the MP4-26 thread and now we're talking about the car in the team thread!McG wrote:Looking forward to seeing the finished product, it looks very raw in testing.
Any idea what colour tyres this was set on?myurr wrote:Button's put a good time in - 1:22.910, so three tenths off Webber's time. Not too shabby if they have more parts to come.
I would think all the flex could be accurately tested in the wind tunnel, where there are no kerbs.segedunum wrote:The measurement of the front wing will almost certainly be to do with creating flex within it. You wouldn't put something like that on your car and put the laps in unless there was some potentially big payoff for it. When we'll see signs of it being used no one can say. I thought they might have had something implemented by now.
Not suprised to see winglets appearing around the sidepods. Getting stable airflow around there is going to be a major area of development for McLaren. However, putting winglets there will probably decrease the volume of air going through there.........
I hope McLaren don't need to call out British Gas......
No idea but I'd imagine the soft tyre would be a good bet for both times.routari wrote:Any idea what colour tyres this was set on?myurr wrote:Button's put a good time in - 1:22.910, so three tenths off Webber's time. Not too shabby if they have more parts to come.
Don't say black...
I think so too. Especially measuring really quick movements like when the car is braking hard then swiveling through the turns.routari wrote:Could they accurately test flex in a wind tunnel with a scale model though?
They probably have calculations to convert air measurements to 100% scale, but something as complex as flexing would be difficult to do on a scale model I'd have thought?
