Wasn't the track resurfaced though in that period?
That's really bad. Nothing is right.FW17 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 31, 2019 2:09 pmSomeone has done a render

It's gonna take weeks for Andy and me to go through and do drawings and explanations
2 Floor Body Planform Reference Surface (RS-FLOOR-PLAN)
RS-FLOOR-PLAN is composed of the following elements:
2.1 On the plane Z=400, a surface enclosed by the following peripheral elements:
a. A line between [XF=650, 0], [XR=350, 0].
b. A line between [XR=350, 0], [XR=350, 350].
c. A line between [XR= -350, 475], [XR= -350, 650].
d. A line between [XF=1290, 800], [XF=2000, 800].
e. A minor arc of constant radius, extending from [XR= -350, 475] to [XR=350, 350] and
tangent to X at [XR=350, 350].
f. A minor arc with a constant radius of 2000mm, extending from [XF=1290, 800] to
[XF=960, 685] with its centre of curvature forward of XF=960.
g. A minor arc with a constant radius of 2000mm, extending from [XF=650, 0] to [XF=960,
685] with its centre of curvature rearward of XF=960.
h. A minor arc of constant radius, extending from [XR= -350, 650] to [XF=2000, 800], and
tangent to X at [XF=2000, 800].
2.2 Once the surface in §2.1 is fully defined, regions of the surface within 10mm of §2.1b to
§2.1h must be discarded. Regions of the surface within 90mm of §2.1d or §2.1h are also
discarded, except for those regions ahead of XF=1700 or rearward of XR= -700.
2.3 On the plane Z=0, a minor arc with a constant radius of 2120mm, extending from [XF=475,
505] to [XF=1550, 800] with its centre of curvature forward of XF=1000.
nightmare!!!! i thought the big 3 had got rid of this amount of spec?jjn9128 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 31, 2019 5:36 pmA taster of the detail.2 Floor Body Planform Reference Surface (RS-FLOOR-PLAN)

Yeah 2017 cars were more like 3.5-4 secs slower...Tombazis just said that 2021 cars will be around 3-3.5 secs slower which truly is 2017 levels of performance...but then Ross Brawn took over and said that the cars will have 2016 levels of performance! So i believe the cars will be somewhere in between 2016 and 2017 performance!Wass85 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 31, 2019 12:45 pm2017 cars were 5 seconds slower?

That's my point, we started complaining they were too slow even though they offered great racing.
The last estimate I saw was that these will be around 5 secs slower, what is the point then?
They always change the regulations just as the competition is at it's strongest, I have a feeling following won't be so easy as they are predicting in the real world. Let's not forget they are running poor tyres.
Problem with 2017 rules was that they didn't think of overtaking even a bit! The 2019 rules are a bit better in terms of overtaking but i believe tires play as big a role in following each other as aero! Tires in 2014 were hard like concrete because Pirelli didn't know what to expect from the new, higher torque engines!
Racing in 2019 is nice i believe...Silverstone was great in terms of racing and overtaking...Leclerc vs Verstappen was a highlight!
