"Race cars want high octane fuel for power" NO NO NO. This is one of the dumbest myths in the automotive world. Facts: Octane is a measure of how a fuel resists igniting under temperature and pressure. High compression engines need high octane to prevent premature detonation before the spark. But a high octane fuel can have LESS energy density. Saying "fast cars need high octane" is a holdover from marketing campaigns in the 50s when octane ratings became a thing and companies wanted to sell more high octane fuel. This is like saying race cars need to mount bigger brakes to make a car go faster. The brakes don't have anything to do with the car going faster. It just happens that when a car goes really fast, it will then also need big brakes. Just like a high compression engine will need high octane fuel. But the fuel is to resist detonation. The high compression is what makes the power.
they should have made the delay shorter instead so that the teams who weren't cheating would get an advantage while the cheating teams weren't paying attention to the lights.
What's with these kind of race car innovation or improvements getting banned because they're so good? There are a lot of examples of this happening in motorsports lol
I raced a funny car at a test and tune once. I was in a 97 Grand Am. I couldn't even tell if my car was running. It's a whole different experience sitting in a car next to something like this.
I have been thinking about what could be done with a cold gas thruster mounted on the unsprung part of the suspension. When needed, the thruster fires, applying several thousand extra pounds of contact pressure for each tire. Imagine how well a mini Cooper would stop on a slippery wet road if there was an extra 2000 lb of contact pressure on each tire... That might be enough to stop quicker than you could with the normal brakes on dry pavement. and yeah it'd be kind of a pain in the rear cuz he'd have to recharge the system and maybe replace some cosmetic panels that got blown off by the rocket thrust. But I think anybody who's been in a wreck would rather deal with that then deal with the usual result of having enough enough space to stop from 25 miles an hour (because of the wet) but you're going 45 mph.

'Cheating' also known in racing as 'ingenuity'.

Very well done video. Informative, straight to the point. No fluff. Thank you.
Love your content but your audio could use some improvement, it sounds so hollow it hurts my ears 😵
There are no sync system for the gear ??
Electric car will hold new record
The spectators are still like that in Baja
Wait - You show in your video they are £5,000 ($6,900) per corner. Honest mistake or deliberate clickbait in adding another zero?
53% More down force...sheeeet !!
hamilton is wet!
Heel and toeing on my sim wheel is genuinely so fun, it literally makes any car fun if you do it right
fenando alonsa debe devolver los 2 titulos ganados
so they turned the rim into a fan, rally cars have been using this since forever lol
as a drummer and an F1 fan, "heel and toe" now has a totally new meaning to me
instant 2' : less than 4 times the energy, not more than 6 times, according to your calculations
We still get a lot of roadside spectators here in Ireland for our motorsport. It'll be a brave man that tries to stop us.
So FIA basically banned it because other constructors couldn't perfectly copy it from Renault's LoL
Do the breaks get changed with the wheels on a pit stop?
saab is faster fwd :)
Should have pulled a vacuum on it instead of the nitrogen, would have made it .0002 kg lighter ;)
why the f are people standing too close??
Difrences G force
do you ever shutup?

What gear should you use to drift
Theres something funky going on with the audio. I hear like a stutter/autotune
Excellent explanation.

C’mon... “these engines cost around £7 Million each” *puts £7 Million ($9.4 Million)*... R.I.P. people who use euro’s (me)
Clitoris
Well now I know where rocket league got it’s inspiration.
Once again, hats off to the engineers and mechanics that make that car a living thing.
