The leading tunnel does in fact go into the duct under the engine cover and exits at those tunnels we see in photos of the back. They could actually be radiator cooling?
The aft tunnel goes into the duct on the floor as shown. It's funny its very transverse. The two aft ducts seem to open up near the starter hole. Maybe they are using the low pressure of the starter hole to help suck the air in the coke bottle zone through it. This makes sense as the air is normally extremely slow in that area near in front the rear wheels.
Anyway. The above, has proven that my previous notions of the ducts exiting much earlier was wrong. I did not know they went so far back. But the photos have also confirmed that the 4 inch tall vertical fins work without the help of the tunnels.
Did you know that most of the F1 car details are deciphered first right here on F1 technical? Are you new here? This is where the Journo's glean.Huntresa wrote:n smikle wrote:Ah! Very clever use of the different air speeds.

You dont read scarbs blog then ? As he alrdy showed us what it looks like.
Huntresa meant that you could have gleaned it off Scarbs' blog, because this one was deciphered, and diagramed, there first.n smikle wrote:Did you know that most of the F1 car details are deciphered first right here on F1 technical?

It's funny. I often times find my way to check up on Scarbs (long time between updates) because someone mentions the latest article here.bhallg2k wrote:I agree with n_smikle's point, though. I don't look anywhere other than here for technical information about F1.
All things being equal, Scarbs is my tiebreaker, so to speak.

Well If you are fine with copying and pasting, more power to you. But I like to think of things myself then discuss it with people on the forum. No fun in just regurgiating information, even an 5 year old can do that.Huntresa wrote:raymondu999 wrote:Huntresa meant that you could have gleaned it off Scarbs' blog, because this one was deciphered, and diagramed, there first.n smikle wrote: Did you know that most of the F1 car details are deciphered first right here on F1 technical?

So when 'you' identified something your mysterious source who has been telling you about McLaren high noses disappears...n smikle wrote:Last year I deciphered the Mclaren fan tail exhaust first in March 2011 on this website... Then one month later my interpretation was on Scarbs... Then ONE year later, Mclaren released the official name of the exhaust as "fan tail" and an explanation of how it works.
