Tricky conditions out there. Better get a lap in quick :shock:
Super race, since I have been competing in MVRC I have never seen such a high average level. Congratulations to all, especially to the winner.

Congratulations to Koldskaal for winning this race and pretty much securing the championship!

Big improvements from PurePower too. The Battle with CAEdevice is on!

Bitter aftertaste for me. I obviously hoped to win this race to keep the championship open, but something went wrong.
This time, and for the first time, correlation issues struck the cooling compartment. That cost me a laptime penalty of half a second. At the moment, i can't imagine why, since official drag downforce and CoP figures were exactly as expected.

Congratz to Koldskaal for the win. Very competitive season as CAE and Variante said. My best season so far in this competition.

Those are the last bit improvements that i could find. The last 10 cases i run are big let down for me. The numbers your car has on this one was monstrous. I would love to see the whole numbers after season end to compare my parts and see where i was lacking the most.

Sure, as long as you'll reveal your cooling secrets :D
I'm planning a full analysis at the end of the season.

So, it looks like an intake stall.
At least, other delicate areas -like the diffuser- behaved properly.

Great race and great cars once more.
Full results can be seen on the page:
https://mantiumchallenge.com/results-mvrc-brazil-2022/
Reports went out this morning.
Big thanks to the staff once more. They really improved the championship.
In the last email for our final race, there is an obvious mistake with the deadline. It will be next Sunday.
While the championship is clear, there is a lot to happened in the midfield...
Any wishes for the CFD images?

No big secrets there, just cut a lot of holes :lol:

Great video once again.
Congratulations Koldskaal for that victory and for (realistically) securing the championship!

This one was a shocker for me. More drag, less downforce, worse balance than the previous race. Looks like a massive miscorrelation of the dirty flow from the cockpit and the cooling exit, reducing rear wing performance. It didn't help that my windscreen disappeared somehow during the meshing phase.

Saying that, I was not expecting a big step so the top 2 would have been out of reach anyway.
But now I've got PurePower and CAE breathing down my neck! :o

You guys have all made very impressive steps. =D>

It is a bit late but i like to use the late submision for this race if possible.

Edit: On the second thought i wont use it. Sorry about the confusion. :oops:
I intended to use it before for fixing the curved floor leading edge fences but abandoned that idea quickly (couple of hours later) after realizing its not a quick fix. Is it still count as used or may i use it?

This is the car for the last race at the Silverstone circuit.

I hope it's enough to be on the podium.

You had fun with winglets!
Those on the wheels should bring quite some performance.
Let's see if G-Raph manages to regain momentum and defend his podium position.

Yes, finally and only for the last race, I made an exception, derogating from the principle of having a legal F1 car.
