CANADA

 

Well ya! But England and I think even a bit of France is as far north as Canada.

 

Europe has all that warm water around it

Canada is just cold and nasty

 

jet stream! takes the warms!

(guess btw)

 

Tim is partly correct. Having water around Europe does help. But, Antarctica has water around it... Another part to this is the thermohaline circulation. The ocean currents that disperse warm and cold water. The Gulf Stream splits on the west coast of Europe which leads to warmer waters in that area and a more mild climate. Without the Gulf Stream the climate in Europe would be more like that of southern, coastal Alaska and western Canada. Still not as cold as North Dakota (because of the air being modified by water).

The jet stream also plays a part in this because the arctic air is around the pole. When the jet stream becomes amplified this arctic air can makes it's way south. This happens in Europe too, but again the water helps to temper the cold. There is nothing but cold, snowy ground between you and Santa.

That help? I could go into more details but that gets you the short, somewhat technical answer.

 

Interesting...

Kinda what I thought, although I still think some of the compounds in the oil also help stabilize combustion thus increasing knock thresholds.

It been a few decades since we covered the Koppen classification system in college

 

I hope I didnt come across poo-pooing your idea lol. You were right, but there is also more to it. Like aaking why F2002 was so good and saying the answer was Michael Schumacher drove it. Is right, but also a little deeper.

 

This is your area of expertise, I don't feel poo pooed.

 

Any thoughts on the new potential engine regulations for 2021? I believe the Manufactures are going to be putting something together now also to help come up with a solutions from what i've been reading.


F1's 2021 engine plans at a glance

• The 2021 power unit to be a 1.6 Litre, V6 Turbo Hybrid
• 3000rpm higher engine running speed range to improve the sound
• Prescriptive internal design parameters to restrict development costs and discourage extreme designs and running conditions
• Removal of the MGU-H
• More powerful MGU-K with focus on manual driver deployment in race together with option to save up energy over several laps to give a driver controlled tactical element to racing
• Single turbo with dimensional constraints and weight limits
• Standard energy store and control electronics
• High Level of external prescriptive design to give 'Plug-And-Play' engine/chassis/transmission swap capability
• Intention to investigate tighter fuel regulations and limits on number of fuels used

 

 

I don't like them.

But I don't like anything.

 

that was profound.

 

Tactical deployment of MGU-K energy makes it sound similar to a driver in IndyCar using their limited amount of Push To Pass, though in F1 it all depends on the amount of energy recovered and used.

 

Merc and Renault are already bitching about it and is rumored Ferrari doesn't like loss of MGU-H either. Their argument is they would have to design an all new engine and costs would be an issue.

I'll he shocked if the proposed regs actually happen.

 

i know i am alone in the multiverse with this opinion but i still wish we went with 20k rpm I-4 turbo...i wonder if the V-6 balances as well as the I-6? the I-4 might have been a nightmare at these power levels.

I have long forgotten all that.

 

Super Formula engine specs from the official SF site. I didn't see RPM limit for those engines. Anyways, those cars are faster than the previous generation IndyCars at the Twin Ring Motegi road course.

ferrari threatens to quit f1 over new engine regs

i'm so shocked

 

I don't mind the v6 turbo part. i kinda wish they mandated minimum revs to 17k and have no fuel flow limitations.
