• New Aero Stuff

    From D Munz@24:150/2 to rec.autos.sport.f1 on Wed Feb 23 13:39:54 2022
    F1TV has a short day 1 summary video up. Mostly long rage, short duration shots but still some interesting looks.
    One thing that stood out to me is that the cars are running some kind of flap over the front wheels. It looks like a plate attached to the shaft on the inside of the wheel that goes up and bends over top half of the wheel. Is this some new aero bit in the rules or is it part of the measuring package? (I know my description is probably less than useful. Maybe there is a still image somewhere...)
    I also liked the Alpha Romeo camo paint job. I'm not sure that is very useful these days with all the high def equipment but it looked cool.

    Those are apparently the "front wheel scoops" described in the technical regulations. Since "rear wheel scoops" are also described there, but I
    don't see any being used in the photos, both are probably optional.

    As far as I can remember (AFAICR), the front wheel fairings are a
    mandated part of the new rules.

    WHY they did it, I don't really know. If I were to hazard a guess, it
    was to clean up some part of the wake of the cars so that cars behind
    would lose less downforce.

    And if you look at the definition of the legality box into which both

    '34 Front Wheel Scoop Reference Volume (RV-FWH-SCO)

    RV-FWH-SCO is composed of the following elements

    34.1 On a plane through Yw= -6, a circle of radius 220.3mm centred at
    [0, 0] and extruded along Yw to Yw=150 retaining only the material
    between Zw= 200 and Zw = -100.

    I don't know what the technical regulations call them but they are
    generally referred to as over wheel winglets or wheel wake control
    devices. They clean up the airflow downstream of the front wheels.

    "The fairing is to try to connect the tyre squirt to the low pressure
    behind the front tyre as it rotates away from the track surface."

    They are also been described as "flow deflectors" (accurately) or even "mudguards" (for what they look like not what they do).
    I expect they will make pitstops slightly less smooth. They also add to
    the problem of vision created by the larger wheels.

    [0, 0] and extruded along Yw to Yw=150 retaining only the material
    between Zw= 200 and Zw = -100.

    34.2 A plane through the following three points:
    a. [Xw = 0, 150, 20], [Xw = 50, 150, 20], [Xw = 0, 0, -100]

    34.3 Once the plane in 34.2 is defined it must be used to trim the
    volume in 34.1 with ALL material below the plane discarded.

    34.4 A plane through the following three points:
    a. [Xw = 0, 150, 20], [Xw = 100, 150, 200], [Xw = 200, 0, -100]

    34.5 Once the plane in 34.4 is defined it must be used to trim the
    volume in 34.3 with ALL material inboard of the plane discarded.
    The fully defined volume in -o34.5 is RV-FWH-SCO.'

    To help you, the terms "Xw", "Yw", and "Zw" refer to a coordinate system
    for the wheel rather than the one defined for the whole car:


    '2.11.3 A Cartesian (Xw, Yw, Zw) coordinate system will be used for each wheel, defined in the following way:

    a. The Xw axis lies on the inboard plane of the wheel rim, passes
    through its rotational axis and points in the rearward longitudinal direction. Xw=0mm is defined to be on the wheel rotational axis. The Xw
    axis is parallel to the car centre plane and to the reference plane,
    with the wheel in the straight-ahead position and the car at its
    legality ride height, as defined in Article 10.1.4.

    b. The Yw axis is normal to the inboard plane of the wheel rim and
    points towards the car centre plane. Yw=0mm is defined to be on the
    inboard plane of the wheel rim. Referring to this coordinate, the terms rCLinboardrCY or rCLoutboardrCY respectively refer to closer to or further away
    from the car centre plane.

    c. The Zw axis is normal to both the Xw and Yw axes and points upwards.
    Zw=0 is defined to be on the wheel rotational axis.
    d. Once the wheel axis system is defined as above, then it maintains a
    fixed orientation relative to the suspension upright at all other
    suspension articulation points.'

    It's tough sledding, but that defines a volume immediately inboard of
    each wheel/tire and definitely NOT above it. Zw from -100 to 200
    constrains the vertical dimensions to a number below the top of the tire which would be Zw = 360.


    There are times when I hanker for the rCLsuck it and seerCY days of F1 in the 1960s :-)

    I stand corrected.

    At https://www.f1technical.net/news/23344 there is a comprehensive
    discussion of all of the legality boxes, with illustrations. It's from mid-September, hence not current, but does clarify what the regulations
    spell out mathematically. There are some exceptions, which include the legality boxes for the front and rear brake drum deflectors (RS-FWH-DEFL
    and RS-RWH-DEFL); these are defined by CAD models - which aren't public
    unless one has access to the FIA CAD portal. Nonetheless comments near
    the end of the article make clear that the front deflectors include the "flaps" inquired about by the OP.

    Pictures here:
    https://www.planetf1.com/features/f1-barcelona-track-pictures/

    Those are apparently the "front wheel scoops" described in the
    technical regulations.-a Since "rear wheel scoops" are also
    described there, but I don't see any being used in the photos, both >>>>> are probably optional.


    Nope.

    The front and rear brake DUCTS aren't up there.

    I refer to the SCOOPS described in 3.13.3 of the technical
    regulations, which however are complex enough that I might be wrong.
    Which article number do *you* believe describs the structures in
    question?


    The scoops AREN'T described in 3.13.3. They are constrained by 3.13.3.

    And if you look at the definition of the legality box into which both
    must fit, it is clear that the scoops are the scoops for the brake
    ducts and not the fairing that goes over the front wheels.

    I stand corrected.

    At https://www.f1technical.net/news/23344 there is a comprehensive discussion of all of the legality boxes, with illustrations.-a It's from mid-September, hence not current, but does clarify what the regulations spell out mathematically.-a There are some exceptions, which include the legality boxes for the front and rear brake drum deflectors (RS-FWH-DEFL
    and RS-RWH-DEFL); these are defined by CAD models - which aren't public unless one has access to the FIA CAD portal.-a Nonetheless comments near
    the end of the article make clear that the front deflectors include the "flaps" inquired about by the OP.


    Yup. I saw that when I was trying to find an actual illustration that
    included names for the various areas.

    What's interesting is that for whatever reason the deflector isn't
    defined by a legality box, but rather there is a common geometry that
    all the teams need to use:

    "The Front Drum Deflector must be made to the geometry defined by RS-FWH-DEFL."

    The teams are allow to position it within a limited range of variation
    to align it to the local air flow, but that's all.

    https://www.planetf1.com/news/lewis-hamilton-cushion-visibility-joke/

    And that means he must be referring to the tires, does it?

    The picture they show at the beginning of the article is taken from a
    height just above the driver's eye height, right?

    Note how much the bodywork right in front of him would obscure
    Hamilton's helmet if the camera height were dropped by 4-6". Note too,
    the foolishness of allowing the struts supporting the rear view mirrors
    to be mounted pretty much exactly at the driver's eye height.

    <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBJWLDEexDo>

    Notice how little the tires impinge on his vision. Sure, they're there,
    but when the vision of the apex becomes obscured, it's the bodywork that
    does it.

    Notice how if his head were a little lower in the car, it's the bodywork
    that would actually start obscuring more of what he needs to see.

    When I do the same thing to you, you whine like a little girl.

    Then when you don't like how your own medicine tastes you deliberately
    lie about what I had said...

    ...while regularly calling me a liar.

    Do I have that correct?

    In what particulars is any of it wrong?

    Will you have the balls to answer any of it?

    Most of the deflector is placed where you wouldn't be able to see
    anyway because immediately behind it from the driver's vantage point
    because tire and the rear view mirror support struts are already
    there. There's not a lot left to make any impact at all to the
    driver's vision.

    Stupid boy.

    The very first apex is part obscured by the tyre. Add 2" and a flow
    deflector and it would be totally obscured.

    No, you are a liar.

    I expect they will make pitstops slightly less smooth. They also
    add to the problem of vision created by the larger wheels.


    The tires are not even 10% larger (same widths and less than 10%
    taller at 660-->720) and neither they nor the "flow deflectors" are
    in a direction that the driver spends much time looking. (The wheels
    aren't ever in the driver's view).

    Most of the deflector is placed where you wouldn't be able to see
    anyway because immediately behind it from the driver's vantage point
    because tire and the rear view mirror support struts are already
    there. There's not a lot left to make any impact at all to the
    driver's vision.

    <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBJWLDEexDo>

    Notice how little you see of the tires. When the apex of the corner
    isn't visible, it is the car's bodywork that obscures it. (Also, it's
    interesting to see that Alonso clearly turns his head more for left
    turns than he does for right).

    Stupid boy.

    The very first apex is part obscured by the tyre. Add 2" and a flow
    deflector and it would be totally obscured.

    Hence,

    Snip all you like you are still just an argumentative, dishonest,

    Dude...

    How can someone be a fan of F1 and understand so little about racing?

    Yes: when the car is nearly at the apex of that very tight turn, a tiny
    bit of it does disappear behind the tire... ...as the rest of it
    disappears behind the bodywork...

    ...but the driver isn't LOOKING THERE ANYMORE.

    <https://racers360.com/education/vision-on-the-racetrack/>

    And coming back to the Alonso video:

    Through all of Eau Rouge/Raddilon: all the apexes disappear behind the

    All through Les Combes: same thing.

    Bruxelle: same

    And all the rest the same until you get to the chicane before the

    Well for a start I chose not to quote your irrelevant nonsense while
    you chose to snip that which proved the unquoted nonsense was nonsense
    then attempted to pretend you had not seen it.

    Secondly, I simply wrote "you snipped this"... as you regularly
    complain when I do not needlessly quote every word of your posts it
    seems you are describing your reaction as "whining like a little girl"
    as that can hardly be attributed to what I did.

    Thirdly, just because a comment contains a single piece of factual data
    does not make the comment factual... especially when it has been shown
    to be nonsense.

    Fourthly, even truly factual comments may not always be relevant to
    what someone chooses to discuss.

    In short, stop "whining like a little girl" and accept you were wrong.

    tiny bit of it does disappear behind the tire... ...as the rest of
    it disappears behind the bodywork...

    ...but the driver isn't LOOKING THERE ANYMORE.

    <https://racers360.com/education/vision-on-the-racetrack/>

    And coming back to the Alonso video:

    Through all of Eau Rouge/Raddilon: all the apexes disappear behind
    the body work.

    All through Les Combes: same thing.

    Bruxelle: same

    Turn 11: same

    Pouhon: same

    And all the rest the same until you get to the chicane before the start/finish straight...

    ...when once again some part of the apex disappears behind the
    tires...

    ...when the driver is no longer looking at it.

    You can stop whining like a little girl. I didn't delete your post
    above.

    You didn't "put anything back" or clarify anything.

    F1TV has a short day 1 summary video up. Mostly long
    rage, short duration shots but still some interesting
    looks.

    One thing that stood out to me is that the cars are
    running some kind of flap over the front wheels. It looks
    like a plate attached to the shaft on the inside of the
    wheel that goes up and bends over top half of the wheel.
    Is this some new aero bit in the rules or is it part of
    the measuring package? (I know my description is probably
    less than useful. Maybe there is a still image
    somewhere...)


    "The fairing is to try to connect the tyre squirt to the
    low pressure behind the front tyre as it rotates away from
    the track surface."

    They are also been described as "flow deflectors"
    (accurately) or even "mudguards" (for what they look like
    not what they do). I expect they will make pitstops
    slightly less smooth. They also add to the problem of
    vision created by the larger wheels.


    The tires are not even 10% larger (same widths and less than
    10% taller at 660-->720) and neither they nor the "flow
    deflectors" are in a direction that the driver spends much
    time looking. (The wheels aren't ever in the driver's view).

    Most of the deflector is placed where you wouldn't be able to
    see anyway because immediately behind it from the driver's
    vantage point because tire and the rear view mirror support
    struts are already there. There's not a lot left to make any
    impact at all to the driver's vision.

    <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBJWLDEexDo>

    Notice how little you see of the tires. When the apex of the
    corner isn't visible, it is the car's bodywork that obscures
    it. (Also, it's interesting to see that Alonso clearly turns
    his head more for left turns than he does for right).

    Stupid boy.

    The very first apex is part obscured by the tyre. Add 2" and a
    flow deflector and it would be totally obscured.

    Whinny little girl, how can you pretend your personal knowledge of
    racing gives you special insight when your ignorance is always
    front and center.

    and you removed everything that came after:

    "How can someone be a fan of F1 and understand so little about racing?"

    Why not actually try and learn a little something from someone who has actually been on a race track, has won races, has won championships and
    who was chosen by the best racers at his club (some with careers
    spanning more than 40 years) to be a race driving instructor?

    Well for a start I chose not to quote your irrelevant nonsense while

    What is the difference between "chose not to quote" and "chose to
    snip"?


    Not a lot. Anything else you need help with?

    And no, it didn't prove anything about what I had provided.


    Then you should read the article again. How can you learn anything
    about F1 driving when you aren't willing to listen to what a real
    racing driver has to say.


    Secondly, I simply wrote "you snipped this"... as you regularly
    complain when I do not needlessly quote every word of your posts it
    seems you are describing your reaction as "whining like a little
    girl" as that can hardly be attributed to what I did.

    Ah, the "man" who likes to call people names whines like a little
    girl when someone returns the favour.


    I think we clearly established that the perception of being a "whinny
    little girl" came form your own reaction.

    Again your poor English comprehension is showing you up.

    Unless you'd like to embarrass yourself further by explaining how you
    came to make that attribution from "you snipped this..."

    :-D

    :-)


    Thirdly, just because a comment contains a single piece of factual
    data does not make the comment factual... especially when it has
    been shown to be nonsense.

    But that would actual require a rebuttal...


    Nope.

    ...not just calling it a lie.

    I didn't. You are lying again.



    Fourthly, even truly factual comments may not always be relevant to
    what someone chooses to discuss.

    In short, stop "whining like a little girl" and accept you were
    wrong.


    I'm not wrong.

    I alluded to vision issues, you claimed there were none, I cited an
    article where a world champion F1 racing driver disagreed with you.

    You were wrong.


    You clearly have very little clue about racing cars, racing drivers...

    ...racing drivers like 4 time F1 World Driver Championship winning
    Sebastian Vettel who you claim knows less about the view from his F1
    racing car than you do.


    ...basically you're a clueless little fangirl.

    Oh dear, I think we can see the little girl cry...

    If you mean you that would be because you are constantly either talking nonsense or lying; neither are conducive to learning about a subject.

    Why don't you learn something by not being a dishonest, conceited prick.
