Some new terms I read about today:

I'd bet all of Falcon's cookies that most if not all the teams have the shark fin

to me no it is not. what's your active suspension going to do with wheel-to-wheel contact? if a wheel gets pitched up in the air then you're going to generate lift no matter what.

my vision for the future is active wings with minimal diffuser to negate the risks. active wings can control the attitude of the car relative to the ground in any situation including wheel-to-wheel contact. basically the car's willingness to fly away can be controlled when it gets pitched and returns to earth, or you can remove the lifting force altogether when the car gets upset so it doesn't lift off to begin with.

What happened with wheel to wheel contact in the days active suspension?



But active wing elements would accomplish the same task as my active suspension idea and probably be easier to pull off. I say we do that.

I had a thought earlier if, and this is a big if, the study I posted was correct and the loss of rear downforce will be the result this year would an active beam wing be able to keep the floor and rear wing flow attached?

I've gotten more enjoyment of the first 4 rounds of SX than all of last year's F1 season.

F1 much better for naps tho.

A coworker left this under my monitor yesterday. She cut it out from one of her kid's books. It looks like a red Sauber C23.

Last weekend I drove out from Paradise Valley, AZ to California for my friend's son's first birthday party with a Grand Prix theme. I got there 15 minutes before it ended so all the decorations, including an "All the F1 cars up to 2004" big *** poster that I loaned my friend were all taken down. But at the rec center hall they rented I saw these pictures of some city council members.

That's what happens when you get married. The wife takes you away from everyone else. Trump needs to sign an executive order. #makeRitapostagain
