HRT F111 Cosworth

[cbbcisace]

Nice point, you got any ideas on driver line up for next year?

Drivers should be discussed here: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9911

Let's keep this to the car

[cbbcisace]

OK. Will do...

Are we expecting anything different for the F112.

[MIKEY_!]

Simplifying things will help them. Periscope exhausts and low nose. They may not need to change the car it all looks reasonable (I'm not going on many photos here) any particular area of the car that is poor, not just saying 'lacks DF or is to heavy' what bits are inefficient?

I'm sorry but this argument that KERS is only worth 3 tenths is incorrect. KERS is circuit and package dependent.On longer ciruits its worth up to half a second. Its also one of the few components still open to development in terms of size and packaging.
Secondly expecting a tail end team to make massive gains in aero is unreasonable. The top teams will only expect a 15% gain with a new car and they've got money squared. What makes the difference is aero is a factor of mech grip + engine power. The fact that KERS is a guranteed performance gain in addition to what aero gains a team finds. I think Williams are offering their unit for €500k.

With HRT being so far behind in terms of pace, they shouldn't go for KERS. The money they spend for upgrading aero will be better value

With Team Lotus have KERS they are going to move further up the field, not so sure about Marussia Virgin having KERS for 2012?

Nope! -> AMS German -> Google translation

I think HRT will use backmar-KERS!

F 112 concept ?? Or just advertising imagination ?



Upper exhausts, better aero package, it could be

Surely HRT aren't that ahead with their design for next year yet... I thought they just drew in 3 days before the last test day.

The nose doesn't seem low enough...

[Ries]

The sidepods and the nose kind of remind me of the launch spec Force India VJM02!

^^^ Was thinking the same thing, but more for the nose box.

Hispania are quite far on with their design for 2012, but their design has had Geoff Willis preside over its inception till arround 6 weeks ago, and will presumably have Jorg Zander will/is presiding over the project at present. However the project is belived to be ran by one of their race engineers and so comes to a stop for 5-6 days in every 2 week period as he cannot oversee what is going on from a race weekend.

I think Hispania will show a better car next year, but it will still be where it is at present. However we will see what happens in the closed season with Hispania and their up and down fortune and their constantly flaky ownership.

However the rumor that Hyundi are thinking about F1 and looking at a decent budget makes me think, could Hispania be the team they take over as a blank canvas???

[N12ck]

I think it is!

But why would they buy FI's 2009 car?

[ESPImperium]

Probably bought the immage and not the car, with a little photoshop as well, you have your ad.

Because is faster than them probably
