Sounds like they still have a lot of work to do to make this type of system work for next year.

Does anyone know just how this system works?
Is there an electromagnet in the wheel hub or something so that when the driver hits the brakes it revs it up or??? ]]> tag:speedtv.com,2008:forums/viewthread/.316332 2008-09-06T09:23:59Z Patarac
Then I noticed the same thing during heavy braking this morning at Spa.

Both turns were right handers.

Any thoughts? Some sort of traction/cornering aid? ]]> tag:speedtv.com,2008:forums/viewthread/.304483 2008-08-18T09:17:57Z mick viper tag:speedtv.com,2007:forums/viewthread/.136870 2007-07-28T08:42:45Z Centrosud

As an idea, instead of putting restrictions on everything, put a restriction on the one thing that will really show how good the engineers really are, the amount of fuel used. If the regs where substantially relaxed, so that any engine configuration, transmission, aero, etc could be used, but a net fuel useage for the weekend was set, it would be interesting to see what solutions where developed.

I think we would see a plethora or engines, aero, and fuel economy technologies being developed, that should have some direct benefit on the auto sector overall. Not to mention some very interesting racing and cars showing up.

Thoughts? ]]> tag:speedtv.com,2008:forums/viewthread/.297651 2008-08-06T01:22:17Z Will Pittenger tag:speedtv.com,2008:forums/viewthread/.308623 2008-08-24T08:38:23Z elittle
A couple of Formula 1 teams have installed a proximity switch on the fuel connection and used it to actuate a green light for the driver to see, but as we saw today, that hasn't worked very well. How about taking the concept a step further? Take that proximity switch and interlock it with the clutch pedal (or lever) and ignition. If the clutch pedal (or lever) is released while the fuel rig is engaged, the ignition shuts off.

The technology shouldn't be very difficult or expensive to implement and, once proven, could easily be mandated by all sanctioning bodies. ]]> tag:speedtv.com,2008:forums/viewthread/.310512 2008-08-27T13:28:26Z Tactical Drift
