We’re getting closer to what we’ll see in F1 in 2026.
My prediction is for a winner between Kostov, Phitec, and of course JJR, but my car too, unless something unexpected happens, is competitive.

I am not sure... On the renders is the car from the last race. Last night I've uploaded the new one....

My mistake, I've missed the deadline with one week... #-o #-o #-o
Good luck to everyone.

Yupp, there were actually very few new entries for this race. I kind of slept on it as well. I assume this happened to many others...

Well, I am really excited with this one. I went for the most basic Rear wing I could think of and Rear wing is one element that plays a major role for Monza ( pls correct me if I am wrong ). Sadly I didn't get any time for a Monza exclusive design I had in mind. Also I was planning on a new front wing but again, no time. This time I could only come up with new sidepod design and a Monza-spec Rear wing.

I am quite surprised by a few Rear Wing designs particularly Hermes Motorsport and G-Raph. The most opposite Rear Wing philosophy compared to mine I believe is of Pure Power Racing. I would definitely be keeping an eye out for the CFD images.

Hoping to score points in this Race. Wishing everyone the Best!

Since this will be the “floor” race weekend, could you also review my floor concept to help avoid any surprises in the final race?
The Silverstone car is running the same floor that I’ve prepared for Monza.
As for Monza, this was the spec which unfortunately won’t get its intended debut in Italy.

Good luck everyone. Grid looks fantastic, lots of great designs.

I dont expect to be competitive on this one. My car is not the most efficient one and i did not make an effort to make it for this race. Mainly it was an incredible hot 2 months here where i live so i didnt wanna overheat my system. I just ran 5-6 simulations for making sure it is faster than the silverstone spec.

Main changes are as renders suggest, a new front wing, same rear wing without the 3rd element and some changes on the floor.

May I ask what surprises you about my rear wing design? To me this is the most boring Monza wing ever, I have pretty much re-used the profiles from last year.

I am sorry, I didn't check out the Rear Wing you made last year in Monza. I see that the Main element itself is pretty flat probably 0 AoA. And then the second element is at low AoA as well and the gap between the elements might reduce drag without compromising Downforce. That's why I find it interesting. I didn't see similar design on the entire grid. Plus both the elements are placed higher. So it seems very efficient. Again, I am a newbie and I might be wrong. But this is what I thought when I saw your rear wing design. I think you would be on Podium this time.

Wishing you the Best !

The rear wing is standard, but to have such a low-downforce wing (cl*A 0.6/0.7?) and still achieve good balance and good efficiency, I expect that the floor has been improved.

I tried a super low drag setup (cd*A 1.05 or less) but efficiency decreased significantly and the laptime was negatively affected.

Yeah. I observed your rear wing had a notch in between which I believe will produce more Downforce in the central notch area. Its certainly one of the most efficient rear wings I ve seen for Monza. Pretty Creative I would say. I hope you get the Podium!

Wishing you the Best! Good Luck!

The notch helps a bit with cooling, so it is free df (not so much actually) because I could make cooling inlets slightly smaller.
