I was wondering if the brackets would be used in this manner
No larger than last year with wheelbase length capped at 3.6m. Some cars can be a few cm longer, others will be shorter by a few (mainly mercedes). I believe it's entirely a non-issue, if anything wheelbase should be capped further down to like 3.4m or something like that, maybe even less. Kills two birds with one stone, shorter cars and easier to get down to weight limit without fear of losing out by reducing aero generating surfaces.Hoffman900 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 11, 2022 1:46 pmThe new cars, while more proportional than the old, are HUGE.

It will definitely reduce the sound volume and rawness. They shot themselves in the foot a bit with this change. Originally back in 2016 wastegate tail pipe was separated from main exhaust exactly with the purpose of increasing the sound. Now we're going back to 2014-2015 levels of dullness. There's really only one plausible scenario as to why this change came about: teams didn't want others to know when they're using their maximum attack modes, and even more importantly for how long, as this gives away a lot of info about your ERS capabilities. Back in 2015 when this was implemented FOM used just a single microphone attached close to engine that wasn't able to pick up open wastegate sounds, but then in 2018 they started using an additional microphone that was installed in proximity of the exhaust and then it was clear as day when someone was going flat out.Holm86 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 8:02 pmI hope it doesn't decrease the sound, but I personally like this look more.jjn9128 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 7:58 pmI think they worked out it didn't help.siskue2005 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 7:57 pm
The reason for separation of them was to increase the car engine volume isnt it? Why now they are going back to single pipe?
The waste gate pipes looked so weird
I agree to disagree.I'm just gonna share a couple of the reasons why I disagree.
Looks planted - joking. Love the look of the AMR22. Great colors and good looking car. Car looks bigger because tires are bigger.Saykas wrote: ↑Fri Feb 11, 2022 2:45 pmon track with drone following the car

What does he mean by dual openings?Some key features immediately stood out, including a front wing featuring a slight arch in the middle to allow more air under the nose and towards the floor. There are also side-pods with an unusual dual opening for cooling air entering the body.
