F1 Engine Testing

Way too friggin cool!

That's awesome. That's the first time I've seen a durability dyno test. They were obviously running the motor based on some telemetry from a given track, rather than looking for peak hp/tq numbers. Very cool indeed.

I love how they dump the fuel directly into the velocity stacks. The carbon fiber velocity stacks. :~

Good stuff!

That is such a crazy sight.....

Just in case anybody was wondering (I know I was!), the 70L/100 km it lists for fuel consumption converts to 3.36 mpg. Not exactly a sipper, but what a powerplant.

Thats the quoted FIA #. The milage is actually lower, according the Steve Matchett(ala Speed Channel). He was quoted this weekend with a more realistic 2.5mpg or so. Weren't the CART guys at the peak of there hp days(before the spec engine now) getting ~1.4-1.6mpg on that alc'y.

Makes sense - Alcohol's got less energy per volume, so you need more of it (the primary benefit of alchohol is engine cooling - fuel has a DRAMATIC cooling effect).

Interestingly, the guy who built/invented this:http://venus.13x.com/roadracingworld/is ... ularis.htm
took the job as R&D manager for Renault last year. Frankly, knowing Rob, I'm not surprised they won.

Imagine a CHASSIS simulator just like the engine simulator - you can actually run all the car's suspension based on the telemetry information from a particular track, and then tune for it the next time.

Is it me, or did they turn down the size/quality of that film? I tried to save it and couldn't, but now when I download it, the video is much worse. maybe It's cause I'm at work. Wierd.

[Jeremy]

Looks like the same quality to me, but I've also been coming up empty trying to save it. Must be protected somehow.
