Yes.
It used only 1 square metre of suction area (from memory) but the sensitivity was reduced because of the active suspension, why not?
I see the convoluted rules causing half the problems, simplify the rules and be entertained...
Yes.
It should read return to 1.8M from the current 2M wide cars. 2M is about right.mclaren111 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 28, 2022 3:09 pmI know...
I think that reducing the wheelbase substantially moves the weight balance rearwards.
Fenderphobia increases the carbon footprint of the sport and must be driven out.

Omit high MJ batteries and high power electronics
Elective safety features
Smaller radiators (aim to reduce radiator volume 50%)
Engine PTO cooling fan (5kg incl clutch)
Reduce chassis weight reflecting above
Require 300 - 600 Hz exhaust pulse frequency

I would be interested to see a 1998-2008 size and weight car but with a underbody tunnels and a halo - especially how it's wake looks and how another car reacts to said wake. I think with wider 2017-->2022-->onwards tyres you'd have to increase the track somewhat to have space for some bodywork. As an aero I'd want narrow tyres and/or wide track, as a fan I think the wide rear tyres look mean as though.Zynerji wrote: ↑Sun Aug 07, 2022 5:38 pmI'd like to see a general downsizing overall.
1800mm wide
2022 tyres at 2008 width.
An 0.8L I3 turbo with standardized MGU-H with TJI tech, 18000 RPM and AWD KERS and a smaller, solid-state battery pack.
Hot-swappable fuel pods.
2022-ish wings and tunnels.
Small, nimble, lower weight, less downforce, peakier engines. Much more fun to watch.
