You can also exploit this to improve the aerodynamic performance!

Softer rear springs➡️The rear axle squats at high speed, under the effect of downforce➡️The angle of attack of the wings reduces: the car gets a better top speed!

Use this trick to overtake your friends.

3) Unnevenness absorption

Racetracks still have bumps, and you must go over the kerbs to minimise the laptime.

The more uneven the track (e.g. Nurburgring Nordschleife), the softer the springs must be, and especially reduce the fast damping of the shock absorbers!

'Ok, so... how do I start?'

1) Take a long corner,
2) Does it understeer a lot mid-corner?➡️Soften the front and/or stiffen the rear.
The opposite to solve oversteer.
3) Does it understeer a lot on entry/exit?➡️Reduce front damping and/or increase the rear
Opposite for oversteer.
4) If the body rolls/pitches too much➡️Increase the stiffness the same amount front and rear.
5) If the car is unstable on bumps/kerbs➡️Reduce the fast damping the same amount front and rear, and possibly the stiffness too.

That's it! Now you're on your road to become a racecar engineer... or at least a better SimRacer! 🔥

Did you know that in ‘01-‘03, some #F1 teams shifted gears automatically?🤖

Consider the ‘02 Williams:
- It upshifted automatically.⏫
- The driver ‘pre-loaded’ the number of downshifts through a paddle; once braking, the gearbox downshifted optimally.⏬

These were banned in ‘04! 🚫

"F1 Data Analysis : Insights into Race Simulation & Telemetry" Course by Ian Wright

I would like to point out this course managed by another F1 content creator!

In the attempt to make F1 knowledge and insights more accessible to everyone together with Ian Wright, Ex-Head of Engineering at Mercedes F1 Team, we have lanuched a F1 Data Analysis course focusing on Telemetry analysis and Race simulation.

This course focuses mostly on the application of basics and practical insights into this field. We also discuss the key skillsets and strategies required to distinguish yourself from others via round table discussions and case studies with other aspiring students.

What can you expect?
1. Insights in Race Engineering, Simulations, Testing and Telemetry Data Analysis.
2. Round Table Discussions on Practical aspects including Rex Keen and other professionals.
3. Case Studies and insights into the little details that count.

If you want to learn this topic or know anyone who wants to (cousins, friends, juniors), feel free to check out / share the intro and a couple of free lectures that are available.

Ever wondered HOW the DRS works? 👀

I've drawn this scheme for you!🔧
🔵OFF
🟢ON

The Actuator (in red) pulls point B to the right.
⬇️
Point B pulls point C, which rotates around the hinge D.
⬇️
The upper wing plane ('CD') decreases its angle of attack, reducing the drag!

The angle of attack is defined as the angle between the air direction and the line that connects the wing's leading edge and trailing edge.

Reducing it also reduces downforce, but that's fine on the straight!

In Indycar, aero setup is even crazier than #F1!🛠

Example: ‘17 HONDA
Top: Low-Drag Spec (speedways)
Bottom: High-Downf. (road courses)

For the latter, rules allow ~100hp more: despite that, the terminal speed gets SEVENTY km/h lower!

Drag doubles: (675/575)(390/320)^3 = 210%!

THE CRAZIEST F1 PHOTO YOU'LL SEE TODAY!🔥

Cornering produces huge🔵Lateral forces (➡️Fy), equal to the🟢Inertial Force (-m*ay)

The resulting lateral load transfer increases the outer tyre🟣Load (⬆️Fz)

The rear left rim pokes out of the tyre, and the front right lifts!🤯

LATERAL LOAD TRANSFER

Corner to the right➡️The load transfers from the right-hand tyres to the left-hand tyres.

LONGITUDINAL LOAD TRANSFER

Exiting the corner➡️The load transfers from the front to the rear tyres.

Most loaded tyre: Rear Left
Least loaded: Front Right
