That's an interesting looking array of sensors on the macca

Yeah Alonso hasn't been out for ages - whats the story there? Also the Tool hasn't been out for almost as long

hydraulic failure if i remember correctly

and no low fuel runs by either ferrari or mclaren while at jerez

so nothing too exciting on the horizon

http://planetf1.com/driver/18227/7498927/McLaren-brush-off-nose-concernsNo shitty step-nose for the Mac?I think I may have to back team brit until the Fez can get their shit together (I feel so dirty saying that, but I do like Button, it is like wanting old mate Mika to do well haha).Please, spare me the form>function jibe... Many a winning car have been beautiful machines in their own respect. I think the only team that have made the step-nose look half decent is Lotus (old Renault), with an honourable mention to Redbull. The rest are absolutely crapola!Please please please Merc, do not release a bloody step-nose!

    • Thanks Brad Sheriff. I think he single handedly made the price of NEO heads rocket to the stratosphere.
    • Oh ok that makes so much sense. Thanks for clearing it up!
    • And these modern "environmentally friendly" EV vehicles also run on the same smoke! When the engine, wiring, or batteries let it escape it also stops running!
    • Yeah - I found the same information too.. 30% open is like 85% of flow etc. So it's probably going to be minor if not completely imperceptible. I also have a larger pod filter here, will swap that on and see if there's any difference. The hardest part is finding a place to uh, test this. It's quite noticable just how much having ducting to the otherwise completely open pod cools the intake temps down. It's better boxed, or shielded but driving for 30 seconds really makes it plummet to near ambient temperatures. I recall in the past when I was a RB land and had a nice flowing airbox -  - Then I took the lid off and put a pod there, and gained 9 psi of boost and about 60kw from the restriction I didn't know I had - with the controller at same duty cycle. However finding people using over the radiator intakes having similar KPA drops at WOT on built setups makes me think there restriction could be the exhaust or potentially the headers. Either way though, there's no real estate to play with and nothing that can realistically be done about it. The original dyno plot without the airbox, and the larger pod had a better curve. It was later I added the ducting and airbox, and a smaller pod to make it fit in there...
    • That's not completely truthful now is it? Any flex fuelled factory cars also had the option to run on steam.
