Honda F1 introduces elephant ears

03 May 2007

On the final day of testing Honda introduced a radical wing on the nose of the RA107. Honda's test driver Christian Klien is out in the car today at Circuit de Catalunya today to test the new 'elephant ears'. Whether or not the Honda Formula 1 team will use the new wings during the upcoming Spanish Grand Prix is uncertain at the moment. It is interesting to see though the team saved their new wing to test it on the fourth and final day of testing

Another good reason to cut aero as much as possible, they make the cars look damn ugly. Was looking at pictures of the 88 Mclaren (MP4??) and it is simple and elegant and beautiful.

The 88 McLaren was the MP4/4. Actually all of Ron Dennis' McLaren are part of what he called project 4 - needless to say the first three didn't work nearly so well. The car itself was designed to a fair degree by Gordon Murray & a number of others who's names don't immediately come to mind. I think John Barnard had either gone or was in the process of going to Ferrari.

Anyway with two hacks by the names of Senna & Prost the thing won 15 of 16 races that year.

For my money, however the prettiest McLaren of all (M6A aside) was the MP4/13 which in pre-season testing wore the traditional McLaren orange along with the West sponsorship logos.

yeah I saw the BMW F1 nordshlieffe laps on TV. looked awesome, but damn, 8min 34 seconds??? did he park on the back straight and have a quick smoke?

I read something on F1 live that BMW 'dummied' the car a little bit. Harder compound tyres, increased ride height and brought the motor's max revs down, apparently it could still do 300km/ph, but cornering and high speed balance/grip was lowers so it wouldn't be so 'dangerous'.

No offence, but I wouldn't mind seeing Monaco off the season list.... Keep Silverstone!

Bring back the twin German GP's!

Oh yeah, Singapore has been confirmed for 08 as well!

If anything, I hope one day we'll see Zandvoot again, great racerack!

    • Resizing injectors in Nistune can be done a couple of ways, and there are a couple of ways that you can make a mess of it. The tuner needs to be really aware of the effects of whichever approach he uses (either K, or TIM). They are both easy enough to "get the injector size right" to run the engine. But little details like old start enrichment and hot start are affected differently, depending on which boxes you check.
    • Pretty safe to say almost everyone that has tuned their own car has experienced this issue. The difference being that we have our laptop in the car and when it happens, it's literally 10 seconds of tuning to sort it.  Would you be happy to plug in your laptop and sort this yourself? It is a very simple process and there is no risk of harming your engine (if you are worried about that). 
    • Yeah thats the next step now, either they wil or i will take out for a drive to work and go straight their after work and see is we get the same issues 🤞  thought i try my luck here too, never know someone else might have had the same issue but thanks for the reply 
    • Basically your tuner needs to drive it for the 30 min (or whatever) to create the same conditions then check the ECU settings and sensors at that time. They may not be excited to because that takes them 30 min rather than just opening the bonnet and seeing the problem straight away.... Hot start is generally not as tricky as cold start, but there would be a table for fuel enrichment vs coolant temp as a starting point
    • Yeah, they all cant say anything for sure as everything is working fine . Said unable to find an issue untill it stops again. Could mist likely be CAS wiring or IAS valve issue but again not 100%
