Flat floor(plate floor) vs venturi floor. With and without vortex generators.
Venturi floors have a higher peak and a much steeper falloff.
Is floor for 2026 flat+diff or venturi?Hoffman900 wrote: ↑Mon May 19, 2025 4:30 pmhttps://www.researchgate.net/figure/Dow ... _228616843

I believe they’re mostly going back to a flat floor. Look at previous iterations and you can see the VG’s are either on the leading edge or they’re on the barge boards.hsg wrote: ↑Mon May 19, 2025 10:20 pmIs floor for 2026 flat+diff or venturi?Hoffman900 wrote: ↑Mon May 19, 2025 4:30 pmhttps://www.researchgate.net/figure/Dow ... _228616843

Do we have 2026 written regulation, so we can find rules for floor?Hoffman900 wrote: ↑Mon May 19, 2025 10:58 pmI believe they’re mostly going back to a flat floor.

I don't think crash structure limits anything. Stuff, including crash structures, would just be bulkier with a shorter car.vorticism wrote: ↑Sat May 17, 2025 8:59 pmHow much shorter are the '26 cars expected to be? (or prescribed to be) Not this short I assume. I assume crash structure performance might limit how short FIA-approved cars could become. Regardless, one goal looking forward could be to make Monaco less precessional via narrower and shorter cars.

What are the differences in size and weight?Hoffman900 wrote: ↑Tue May 20, 2025 12:13 pmEveryone keeps talking safety, but IndyCar drivers routinely walk away from 90-100g plus crashes, and those cars are lighter (in speedway trim) and significantly shorter.
I’m not convinced a F1 car would survive / driver fair as well on a crash on an oval.

It's nothing to do with the FiA, slightly irritating composite image typical of the twitter/instagram karma farming, also not legal in many ways.F310AlexB wrote: ↑Sat Jun 14, 2025 9:24 pmThe NEXT FORMULA PROJECT, spearheaded by the Japan Motor-Racing Industry Association (JMIA), unveiled a groundbreaking 50% scale model of the 2026 F1 car at the People and Cars Technology Expo 2025 YOKOHAMA, held at Pacifico Yokohama from May 20, 2025.
