89CAL Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 New twin turbo v6 NSX sounds a bit cooler. Actually having said that, wasnt there a new NSX in the works with electric front drive and mechanical rear drive? What ever happened to that?

tweety bird Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Daniel Ricciardo is the Toro Rosso driver leading the race to step up to Red Bull next season, according to his team boss Franz Tost. Earlier this month, Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko gave his support to Ricciardo, saying he is the "better" driver to replace Mark Webber should the 36-year-old leave at the end of this season. Ricciardo has proven to be Toro Rosso's best driver in the opening stint of this year's Championship, scoring seven points to Jean-Eric Vergne's one. Added to that, the 23-year-old has also outqualified his team-mate four out of five times while also securing the team's only top-ten grid position of the campaign. "Well, performance is all that matters and you definitely can see that Daniel with 11 races more under his belt - which is more than half of a season - is probably in a better situation," Tost told the official F1 website. "Right now he has the upper hand, which we have seen in Barcelona. But that is a snapshot right now. Generally I would say that both would fit into the Red Bull concept." However, the team boss has mixed feelings about whether either driver is ready for the job. "At the moment I would answer with a 'yes and no'. "Both would have to demonstrate an exceptionally good second half of the season, because don't forget we are speaking about the World Champions, so the requirement profile is quite different to being with a team like Toro Rosso. "But don't get me wrong, both are on a very good path and everything will depend on the next couple of months as to whether one of the two of them - should the need be there - qualify for Red Bull Racing." http://www.planetf1.com/driver/18227/8715788/Tost-Ricciardo-topping-the-list more good news!

hrd-hr30 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 they have SFA fuel to race with next year , so they definitely won't be wasting it straight out the exhaust! Maybe in qualy they might crank it all up - if they are allowed to?

PN-Mad Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I don't think it will be "crank it up" in the old 80s sense of the turbo cars. I don't know the details, but I suspect boost will be static, leaving ignition and fuel mapping to be tinkered. Pretty much like the cars of today, plus theres that bigger percentage of power delivered by kers. Dead right but, they won't be throwing fuel out the exhaust just cause fans want it.

mad082 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 If exhaust blown diffusers were still allowed then you might see some flames as they could double it with anti-lag Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/414417-formula-1-2013/page/78/#findComment-6858445 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackrex Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Electrically driven turbochargers, no need for antilag as they will use the motors to drive the turbo off throttle.

Roy Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 The only limit on the new engines is basically fuel. They are only allowed to carry a certain amount of fuel and it means they will have to be pretty conservative with boost and power if they want to make it to the end of the race. Hopefully they will hot them up to serious power then turn them down for economy but at points of the race lean on it for more power and speed...strategies will be interesting Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/414417-formula-1-2013/page/78/#findComment-6859199 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PN-Mad Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 So they are regulated to 15000rpm, and a specific fuel flow rate for 2014. Whoever makes the most efficient engine that can run the most air for the specific amount of fuel wins. Lots of lean burn work going on I guess.
