Base your F1 car design around 1 specific circuit?

[JaymzVsTheWorld]

You need to relax JaymezVsTheWorld. There was not a condescending tone in that message, it's just how you took it.

For someone with 15 posts to his name you need to relax. Here and in the Mclaren thread. If you know more then all of us, and we are all idiots who don't understand F1 aero, then go somewhere that your larger than average brain can actually be put to use.

In case you didn't notice, THAT was condescending.

Try talking to people, not DOWN to them to illicit the reactions you seem to expect from people.

Post counts mean nothing.

I never claimed I know more than anyone, only that you all know very little, which unless you have worked for an F1 team in the specific field, is a fact. In fact I have been more honest anbout how little I know than most posts I've read. But one thing I'm not going to do is to use the relative anonimity of this board to try and tell people something that I don't really know in the first place.

Please refer back to my original post and comment approriately, if not, then do not post.

I ask a relative question, in the relative thread, all be it a loose question and this is what I get. Grow up guys.

And spell my name right.

Actually, there are quite a few people who work as f1 engineers around here. Tyre engineers, data engineers, the like.

OK no offense to them, but I still stand by my statement that it is very specific.

When you think about it, the only person that can tell us what is really going on is the teams specific engineer in that field.

Which would never happen at this stage or anywhere within a reasonable timeline for us to know what's really going on. C'mon man, we are talking above NASA levels of engineering here in some areas.

Speculation can be a nice thing when done correctly. But after a year of lurking I can see that apart form the caption thread, this site should be called F1SPECULATION.NET. So sorry for bashing your way of doing things guys. I can understand people getting lippy.

Well this is a technical forum, and there are times when we are unable to discuss technical certainties because we don't know what is happening. We discuss technical possibilities at that time.

Not true

Your forum etiquette is obviously sub par and that I was pointing that out to you. Post count does mean nothing, it's not a score. But when you have such a low count, and are going off like tea kettle, the count means even less.

Try not attacking people personally (or the whole forum at once) and see if it helps you to be taken seriously, and not like a know it all stamping his feet.

This forum is great as a bridge between the technical and non-technical, and it's a shame you don't want to see that.

As for spelling your name incorrectly, my bad. My name has a silent uppercase 5 that most people miss.

BTW Jaymz, this forum was the one that first speculated and properly discovered the F-Duct, so it's not pointless, it actually bears fruit from time to time.

My earlier point still stands. Is it a little unfair that some teams have the resources to do custom exhausts on different tracks? Sure. Would mandating a fixed exit point do anything to alleviate that? Not really. Whatever time and money they were spending on that design and development would just go into further R&D in shocks, airfoils, tires, simulation, materials, whatever. If they can no longer get an advantage on component "X", then they'll just get it in component "Y".

Hell, even in stock car racing... the cars are far from "stock" and certain organizations tend to be very successful - it's not just driver talent.

I missed Paul's post earlier, but I do agree that budget caps and open regs are the way to go, rather than closed regs and open budgets - for this very reason.
