Why does an engine with the same stroke, same piston weight rev higher> I don't get it?

Is it simply that the total wieght on the crank is lower?

less recipricating mass from 8 cyl compared to 10cyl , less weight also with shorter crank

Thats whats got me upset, i havent ever been to f1 and really wanted to hear the v10s at 17,000rpm 300km/h plus for the first time.. but now ill never get to hear it unless they bring them back

Its just silly, they used v10s and that power level for ages, yeah some problems, but obviously over time there will be some with safety weather they are using a 1000hp v10 or a corolla engine.

And driver safety? I never heard any of the drivers complain they were getting hurt by the v10s power, if anything, the drivers are always wanting more power. They are athletes that train specifically for the forces of racing high g high horsepower cars.

Im still a fan, but a watered down fan from the v10-v8 transition thats for sure

After seeing the full warm up and rev video along with renault getting the v10 to 'rev' the we are champions song after winning last year.. i will never have anything but pure love for that engine and the V8s will have to do a hell of alot to impress me now.

20,000rpm so what, rather 18,000rpm with 2 extra cylinders

my advice is dont piss about. get down to melb GP this year. there will still be some V10s there. plus next year they may all be in something different again and you will have missed the V8 boat. it's an awesome thing to see/hear. cant wait.

Now Max Mosely is talkin bout changing engine regs again(maybe for 2008)something along the lines of engine size and number of cylinders less restricted BUT cars only get a restricted amount of fuel each race-cool so now not only will the passing and racing be shit we now have to watch a fuel conservation race where drivers are cruising round on 70% revs in a big procession just to get home. Got to hand it to old Max he knows how to make an already boring race series even worse

v8 is suck.... i want v10 power back :/

and I want David Coulthardt (grrrrrrr) to win.......... but you can't always get what you want,

Can't wait for the race- this is always the best one of the year. Shame it's not in Mebourne.

Good to see Ferrari back up the front, hopefully it will be a nice competitive season for the top teams. And hopefully Webber wins the championship :no: Lets pray that Webber is not that same as last year, good qualifying and not so good racing.

It makes me laugh that every year Ferrari pull the same shit scam and they think nobody notices... We'll see how quick they come into the pits to load up with more juice this year!!

Hmmm...131.431sec lap at Bahrain-thats not that much slower than tha V10's last year-typical F1 bullshit-they change the rules again at the cost of 10's of millions of dollars-make the cars have less power, but free up the tyre rules and they are just as quick as last years times-why bother. :D

    • Unless you're fortunate enough to buy a newer car, getting an older style plate to match your name/car is difficult because they've already been purchased.  Unlike other countries, personalised plates are locked to the country and not region, so there can't be multiple versions of the same plate but with a different area code.  Hope that helps
    • People use the numbers to make it look like letters to spell words/names, which is where the illegal spacing comes in. For example this GR Yaris  
    • Today's rock removal from my stock pile out the back into a 4m³ skip bin, I still have a bit to go, hopefully there's enough room in the skip bin, it will be close My daughter and her boy was coming on Sunday to help, but, I got possessed by demons and started work as soon as the bin arrived at 1230 today Lots and lots of barrow loads were achieved  Currently I'm sitting on the lounge drinking beer thinking of how I should have waited till Sunday for some help, tomorrow will be a day off, in saying this, my day off will involve prep and paint of my alloy coolant and PS tanks with wrinkle paint (Jackie is in Sydney till Sunday so the home oven will get a run curing the paint....LOL)
    • That's why I said it is a meaningless term. Because there is more than one meaning that people can apply to it. When we said "highflow", that is exactly what we mean, and exactly what is done. In a highflow, they take your housing and machine them out to take bigger wheels, have a better internal profile, etc etc, and fit a new core with the different/better/bigger wheels.
