Not every race car runs without fans, F1 is so extreme that the cars only sit still for 2.5 seconds in the pits and 30-45 seconds at the race start. Loads of other race/rally cars run a fan because in reality a lot of other formula cars run in more varied conditions. Some junior formula cars are fitted with fans because owners dont have fully prepped teams of engineers to monitor engine temp.
The other piece of logic is that is the car has the space- fit a fan. (F1 cars dont have the space) and Because a race engine is highly strung and costs ££££ to rebuild if you cook it. - add an electric fan for a few hundred quid- to protect your 50 grand engine. It would be a false economy..(like buying a 50 grand car but fitting budget tyres) But yes your right- once a race car goes into private ownership- creature comforts are often added to allow the owner more flexibility when using the car.. servo brakes, better cooling, power steering, interior lights...

This should be a good compromise

Looks nice!

Why are there cooling fans on a racing car!? :?:

Edit -- Or have they been retrofitted to avoid the inconvenience of needing to bring leaf blowers to historic demonstration events? :wtf:

In fact no race car is allowed to race with fans today. Fans not allowed in the circuits in most of the world...

Fernando Alonso will take no part in Alpine's 2021 Formula 1 car launch next week as he continues his preparations for the new season following a cycling accident.

"We regret to confirm that Fernando Alonso will not be present for the media Q&A on this occasion," the team stated.

"The sanitary situation and corresponding regulations in place do not allow him to do any communications and marketing activities while he undertakes his critical season preparation.

"We will instead publish a Q&A with Fernando for media use and he will be available for media in Bahrain for official pre-season testing."

The virtual launch will be conducted from the UK, but the existing travel restrictions in place mean that elite sportsmen travelling from overseas can only avoid self-isolation to attend competitive events.

He is the graphic designer of the car, so he can’t hardly say anything else.

I'm very happy for Sean. To do what you love, and then get discovered by what you love,
and then to actually do what you love for real, and actually get paid for it, is a dream come true.

Sean i think is the 'modern' embodyment of dreams coming true. very happy for this man.

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

I just hope its a radical design.. not safe and predictable.. all thr online concepts and renders usually end up better than the car itself..!
