INDY - Bourdais will race at Gateway SUGT - Super Formula rumoured to move away from the 2 liter turbo engine in 2019. SUGT - Button in discussions for full 2018 season IMSA - Andy Lally will do the Super Trofeo races ELMS - Chicane in the middle of Mistral Straight for safety reasons
Interesting to note that this is another series where the SRO handles the GT3 BOP, so the tracks below all use the same BOP as the SRO classifies them as Class B, whatever that means
Suzuka Buriram (Chang International) Sepang VIR Road America Mosport (CTMP) Paul Ricard Spa
Angel Myers
I listed it in the schedule but looks like it will be on tape delay
Parker Hill
reeee
Aiden Barnes
nooooo I need my Road America ARCA brakes
Camden Reed
fuck the fia fuck the aco fuck the sro fuck gt3 too
Alexander Allen
I'm tired of reading this book, every chapter is the same.
If those are class b, than is it class a or c to denote all the shitty chicanes & hairpins tracks (zolder, gilles, etc)?
Brandon Wilson
Class A Fuji Monza Bathurst
Class C Barber COTA Mid Ohio Barcelona Misano Burger King GP Portimão Silverstone Budapest
Class D Laguna Seca Long Beach Sonoma St. Petersburg Lime Rock Chicane Baku Brands Hatch Moscow Nogaro Zolder Burger King Sprint
Theres also a special classification for circuits located at high altitudes where BOP is handled on a circuit-by-circuit basis. Currently I only know of two
Utah Motorsports Park (Miller) Mexico City
Michael Rodriguez
Smol windtunnel used by Mooncraft, the mad cunts that ran the Not-DaytonaPrototype Shiden and now run the Lotus Evora in GT300
Chase Young
is scale model wind tunnel testing like that actually worthwhile?
Gabriel Rivera
Yes, otherwise they wouldn't do it. >american education
Mason Rogers
It can't be all that conclusive though. Do solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations simply just scale up proportional to system size?
Hunter Kelly
Literally all the FIA has to do is ban front dive planes and restrict the front splitter to a certain size and shape.
Adam Gray
Who else here /sip/ for Krut's career here?
Dominic Brown
>bringing /sip/ here
no
Brody Walker
NASCAR racing is /sip/ racing user. Just admit it.
Noah Nelson
The tl/dr (because most of this shit flies over my head) is that while the figures when adjusted for full scale might be a bit innacurate, the trends are accurate.
Here you can see Yoshi Suzuka, one of the madmen behind the Nissan GTP cars, play around with his mini wind tunnel
He had an old video where he explained in more detail how it worked but its basically a bunch of precision weight balances placed under each wheel. This is a more advanced version of the one he detailed in the past but the principle is the same.
He's got some cool videos in his channel.
Aiden Ross
Have there ever been any road cars that utilize underbody Downforce?
Proper good shit right here. Grab some food and sit down
Levi Williams
yeah, so from the standpoint of measurement and precision, a scale model wind tunnel gives an estimate of reality and only an estimate Furthermore, it's only as good as we can map the scale model wind tunnel result to full scale reality which isn't very good considering the non-linear nature of fluid dynamics. That's a speculative sort of science.
Nothing is carved in stone outside of HPC fluid dynamics simulations and actual full scale wind tunnel testing. Everything else is just a foundation for educated guesses.
call me American educated again nigger. Go ahead
Dylan Sanchez
The idea behind it is to make wind tunnel testing more accessible. The big ballers wont stop using supercomputers or full scale wind tunnels but plebs like myself or a small tuning shop can use that kind of stuff to know which wing design will give them more downforce instead of making a completely wild guess.
Aiden Edwards
The Saleen S7
>The body of the car, made entirely from carbon fiber, incorporates the use of scoops, spoilers, and other aerodynamic features to create split-channel airflow throughout the car, and at 160 miles per hour (257 km/h), the car creates its own weight in downforce
John Perry
Neat. A shame it never really made it to production.
>luthi signed to marc vds in motogp for 2018 >contract stipulated he's not allowed to beat franco in moto2 this year
Nathan Hill
Augusto Farfus leads the whito piggus assault on the Suzuka 1000km
Zachary Howard
That would be instantaneous to accomplish, simple to enforce, and cost next to nothing.
It'll never happen.
Joseph Taylor
prototypes are FUCKING UGLY
Jayden Anderson
dumb ugly finned beasts
Levi Smith
...
Angel Thomas
Very high potential of rain so it might end up a shitshow where most teams start and park because they can't afford to buy the wet tires anyway.
Xfinity should be fine as long as there's no lightning within the 8 mile radius of the track. Forecasts are all calling rain for most of the day on Sunday but split on lightning.
Xavier Butler
but muh brand identity
Oliver Wood
the legacy of Audi has left us in a dark place
it's about time for something in the spirit of GTP to make a comeback
Robert Hall
hmmmm i think i have an idea
Lucas Reed
if only DP were fast
Grayson Howard
let them have 700hp and they will be
Gabriel Garcia
More memes
Alexander Morris
sick Hulu throwback
Hudson Adams
how contrived
Carson Johnson
>luthi instead of alex marquez Kek Also Nakagami to LCR next year
Brody Myers
2 and the 43. the rest shouldnt fucking bother
Adrian Hall
I like Danica's but it really should have been the 88
Raising the ride height would probably be the easiest though wouldnt it? In VLN they have a higher mandatory ground clearance and enforced it during the 24h with a sensor on pit entry the cars have to drive over (sensor is not a viable solution here ofc)
Landon Watson

Fuck off with this stupid cancer.
Noah White
C+ for effort but bad OP.
Series @ Tracks; Series @ Tracks
>news
Weekday, Month Day >ABC Session 0800 ET/1200 UTC >XYZ Race [name of race] (length in time or laps) 1200 ET/1600 UTC
You get 2000 letters in OP, don't include useless shit like all the practice events of minor series that aren't televised unless hardly anything is happening that weekend and you have the room. Don't include tracks inside the events because that should be understood from the first line of OP. Trying to read your schedule is an eyesore.
Jackson Cooper
>Max Chilton hits someone on his first pit out of Practice 1 at Gateway
Having a good time here lads.
Practice is probably live now, I'm here.
Austin Wright
That's a pretty nice view, being able to see pretty much the whole track. That's another reason why Michigan was nice, you could see clear across the whole thing in the stands.
Owen Foster
I'm sitting where my seats are for the race Tomorrow. It's a great view and turn 1 is where all passes will happen basically.
Brandon Miller
>being able to see pretty much the whole track Doesn't that apply to nearly every oval outside of the first rows of seats?
Jaxon Morris
>tfw might miss the race tomorrow
Joshua Martinez
Not really, especially not indianapolis which is my closest track
Andrew Stewart
I also talked for a few minutes with Robin Miller and he had his usual talking points. Great guy though. Don't do it user, come see it.
Andrew Morris
Fucking DABRHIS
Jordan Butler
I'd expect Indy to be the worst their is
Joseph Hill
You're free to do it next week
Christian Long
>Jeffrey retweeted a "Thresa's going to sue" joke >Dale Jr liked it
kek was had.
DiRedditito's Bobby Allison throwback is breddy gud as well.
Andrew Jackson
Dale is quickly running out of fucks to give. I bet he wont stop shitposting next year
Mason Ross
good reading thanks. Never studied fluid dynamics in detail for my degrees. Just touched on it.
Austin Robinson
RAIN
Carson Powell
indy qual is live
Henry Rodriguez
>another small Indycar oval where they are flat the entire way around
how do they keep fucking this up?
Kevin Hernandez
they're not flat out the entire lap around gateway.
Benjamin Diaz
They're not flat. They shift down twice and lift which gives the illusion of being flat in sound, but I'm here at the track, they're not flat.
Kayden Mitchell
how are the concessions? and if doesn't believe you, here's a helm cam of hinchtown during practice in which you can clearly observe him lifting and shifing going into t1/2
Why the fuck did you post a fucking timezone converter?
Jeremiah Lewis
So people who don't live in America know when the race starts, so they can watch it. Do you realise that the world exists outside of America?
>being an ignorant American
Henry Baker
If they want to know they can figure it out on their own, they don't need to be spoonfed. If they can't calculate their time from the UTC time in the OP they have some serious issues. Why don't you post ones for all the other races this weekend too while you're at it?
Jack Baker
why you heff to be mad?
Justin Young
>try to help people watch a race >have to defend myself to sperglords
And people wonder why no one posts in motorsport general...
