Re: Goodwood 2022
Redundant fans - if one fan dies mid corner, apparently it only makes....1800kg of downforce

Why have I never listened to their podcast after watching there occasional YouTubes?Jimmy Choo wrote: ↑Mon Jun 27, 2022 8:30 am The Smith and Sniff videos they did on the Goodwood channel are my favourites and made me laugh.
Thanks for the reminder, good fun.
Re: Goodwood 2022
Apparently the whole rear wing is also for redundancy so that if both fans die you still have some downforce. And the design has been type approved so that it’s road legal
How about not having a sig at all?
Re: Goodwood 2022
It reminded me of Hypnodisc spinning up before a Robot Wars fight
Neither fan nor 1000bhp electric power are new in concept, but the overall size (particularly the width) is very different. Awesome to see something so effective from a relative “no-one” Irish/British company.
Wonder if they will take it to the Ring to try and take the 919Evo record?
Re: Goodwood 2022
It claims:
Which strikes me as a bit short for multiple 'Ring passes, but then it also claims to charge at 600kw so if they take a marine diesel generator with them...Track driving range 30-60 mins
Road equivalent range WLTP 350 miles
Re: Goodwood 2022
919 record is 5:19 so enough for 4-5 laps if you’re doing that sort of pace. I’d imagine tyres will limit them more

@mik You’ve been watching the wrong videos mate, Goodwoof was last month..mik wrote: ↑Sun Jun 26, 2022 10:55 am It’s always annoying that cars look slow at Goodwoof.
I know they aren’t actually slow, and I am sure that from the inside it’s a real buzz…. but somehow this kinda fails to translate to the exterior cameras. Has always confused me. I guess it’s far more a “be there” event.

I didn’t go to FOS this year, even though I’m a GRRC member, I’ve not been to a car event this year tbh ..
Going to London Concours ( https://londonconcours.co.uk/event/itinerary/ ) tomorrow if anyone is going or about afterwards..
Cheers,

Re: Goodwood 2022
Lovely little clip that nicely demonstrates the ridiculous cornering speed
Re: Goodwood 2022
The Viper was v. impressive, the McMurtry looks like a Cappuccino-sized Keaton-era Batmobile.
Re: Goodwood 2022
Look at the way the marshalls at the start line jump/flinch in surprise with how fast the McMurty pulls away
Maybe they weren't ready for him to leave at that point!

Re: Goodwood 2022
Aye, they looked like they didn't expect him to leave then. Some of the ice cars sounded quieter than it on that vid.
