Tks Matteo.

Felice anniversario per il tuo bambino!

Grazie!

I think that lowest Cd value and highest cooling flow might be mine

[etsmc]

I know my car was down around Cd .85 but I do only run the fast option in MFlow so maybe with the long settings it might be lower but that also means there is a chance my downforce is lower
if so I don't think I will be in that top 5
Cars are looking good, looking forward to the results.

Usually your predictions are good. This time you are wrong on both, though.

I would expect that the lower Cd came with the lower cooling flow.

Exactly my thoughts. I was at a Cd of around 0.82 with the fast option

In theory, yes. But I think it's me the one with the lowest drag and greater cooling flow
That's a condition that underlines the lack of fine tuning of the car (or, if you wanna look at the bright side, the potential of the car!). I think I'll be able to race for the victory no sooner than the next race.

Variante's car is really nice. I can see some similarities with my own car, but I am sure the bottom part is where the magic happens.

Yes, the layout you introduced to this competition shows an immediate advantage, efficiency wise. (I think the "Nissan GT-R Nismo LM" was the common ancestor ). Still, it's interesting to see how CAEdevice's layout still manages to be competitive (I think you two will fight for victory, maybe JJR too): it prooves that continuous development can compensate for the non optimal layout.

Here you can see the trade-off between cooling flow and drag on the full entries:


Next week I will present MVRC at the CAESES User's Meeting. If you guys have nice renders, please send them. I will include then into my presentation and your car will get famous.

... it prooves that continuous development can compensate for the non optimal layout.

Yes, continuous development is the best approach to MVRC (I work on the same layout since 2015, even the same parametric model!).

I don't agree about the layout: I am firmly convinced that my layout (maybe together with JJR's) is the best choice for both efficiency and extreme downforce races. It is only a bit more complicated to develop because it has many parameters to be fine tuned.

ahah... I can recognise my car!

I am convinced that Sepang will be the most important race this year.

You can use every picture I published (including the animated gif)... sorry but I don't think I will have time to prepare something new, but if you have a specific request,please just ask.

[variante]

If you guys have nice renders, please send them.

Feel free to use mine as well. And if you need custom renders (bigger CAESES logo or something), just ask.

[rjsa]

Mine is the odd one

[Alonso Fan]

Did someone say renders?

Feel free to use mine from the start of the year. I still have the file so if you need anything changing like the caeses logo then let me know
