No but Ferrari can have a better windtunnel than Force India. One that correlates better with CFD so that its produces a more efficient result Read more

Yes but you guys do realize that there are plenty of way around those restrictions. Especially is you’re a manufacturer and have access to resources outside of F1. Read more

Correct on your first point but even if they made F1 spec (and manufacturers still wanted to compete) teams would spend every penny they do now to gain an advantage. It would be a much smaller one but the pecking order would still be the same (look at NASCAR). Read more

CDF is almost as good. You can run simulations 24/7 and corroborate the results in the tunnel. Read more

Great in theory but standardizing parts won’t accomplish much in the way of reigning in budgets. If Mercedes or Ferrari can afford to run a wind tunnel or a 7 post shake rig 24/7, all the standard parts in the world won’t close the gap. Read more

Dude shake it off it happens to the best of them. You weren’t the first and you damn sure won’t be the last Read more

That’s exactly the way mine looked when I got it... Read more

Yup that’s how we ship ours too

“In the meantime—am I the only one who suddenly feels like they could soon be in the market for a cheap salvage race car?” Read more

So this is a race series, funded by manufacturers, that can build can build massively complex hybrid power systems and infinitely complex carbon fiber aerodynamic devices, with new updates coming every race weekend, but give them 2 years and they can’t build a fucking window? Read more

Glad you didn’t die. That would have been a real downer Read more

Yup if I’m in town I usually am available to coach Read more
