Ah, the Coloni C3B. A good looking car, but a bad performing one.

I don’t know why Coloni would go back to using a chassis design that teams used throughout the early to late 80’s

[round swift]

Because Chiti was in charge

If I’m honest, it somewhat reminds me of the Ferrari 641 for some reason. Secondly, it’s starting to grow on me

[round swift]

From this angle, it reminds me of the Ferrari F186, but from the side, it reminds me of the 641.

‘In 1993, Reliant, best known for the Robin and Rialto had made their entrance into Formula 1. Their car had sported the same 3 wheeled design, just like their road cars. It was powered by an outdated Ford DFZ and only featured a 4 speed manual. During its first test at Silverstone, the car had flipped over going into Copse and as a result, killed their test driver (who was the team’s lorry driver.) Reliant F1 was charged with manslaughter and was banned permanently banned from F1 as a result.’

[astral oxide]

So was the racer the lorry driver or the lorry driver the racer?

[low valve]

Whatever u want mate

[late crag]

'In 1979, an American team named the Dodge F1 team attempted to join the grid. It was not the official Dodge company running it, rather a small mechanics shop, founded in Omaha, Nebraska. Their first design called for a 6.0l V8 to be fitted inside of their car. This was not all, however, as they planned to make the cars supercharged for the 1980 season, producing a predicted 900bhp. Their first test did not go smoothly, as the freezing conditions at the Watkins Glen international race course caused the drivers, John Stennol (Former Mechanic) and Max Sotherby (British Formula 2 competitor) to get frostbite on their fingers. The team's second test at Indianapolis, went even worse. The high-speed circuit pushed the engine to intense forces, causing Stennol to retire after his engine blew up, and Sotherby to retire due to a supposed oil line failure. The cost of these repairs and running of the cars put the team into severe debt, and eventual bankruptcy, before the team even made it to the first race of the season.'

So i'd imagine take the wheelnut off and pull from the center

[pastel ginkgo]

Ah

If its just a single axle why have 2 tires? 🤔

[pastel ginkgo]

Reminds me of the batmobile lol

[late crag]

Extra rear grip

More rubber contact = more grip

With 2 tires you had more surface area

I think

[pastel ginkgo]

Yea yea but why not make 1 big tire

It would even fill the little gap between the two

So even more surface area

For me personally. A good looking car must have two simple things, good aerodynamic design, no gimmicks, just simple aerodynamic flow, and secondly, beautiful and colourful design that’s just breathtaking to the eyes, and for that. I believe the best looking F1 car is the Onyx ORE-1

Is it true that Lotus used the 1970 Lotus 72 chassis for at least 4 or 5 years?

[hardy briar]

Yes, because it was a damn good car for its time

[round swift]

it had some iterations, but yes the Lotus 72 was still used in 1975 at the very last race by the team

and it was introduced for the 2nd race of 1970

it was used for so long because it was a revolutionary car, way ahead of the competition

and also because it's successor, the Lotus 76, was just bad.

[idle gale]

Prost's "truck"

Which apparently was because its shock absorbers failed during the 91 Japanese Grand Prix

[flat pier]

Does any one have a high definition version of the senna eau reague photo

[sleek cargo]

if it was today F1 would get cancelled bcs it's too sexist

[round swift]

Well, yes probably.
Customs have changed

This isn't 1976. This was 45 years ago

[round swift]

It probably already has at some point

Plus like everything that makes it to starboard is a meme

[round swift]

Karting against Prost 1993 that’s why with the different suit

[round swift]

Detroit 1985 I think

1985 for certain

[low valve]

why does that look like prost to me

[low valve]

yooooo what i would love to see that

[pastel ginkgo]

Whats the oldest car

[oblique dock]

…and then he got replaced by Gianni Morbidelli

[low valve]

what does that even mean

[pastel ginkgo]

From those 2 pics

Which car came first

[low valve]

number 12

[pastel ginkgo]

Oh

[low valve]

mp4/4

[pastel ginkgo]

Thanks

[low valve]

number 8 car is the '93 car i think

[oblique dock]

Yea

[pastel ginkgo]

👀

[oblique dock]

Shame it was underpowered compared to the Benetton and Williams of the same year

[pastel ginkgo]

Number 12 looks the best imo

[low valve]

what engine did the benetton of that year use

bc ik the williams of '93 used a renault engine

[oblique dock]

Benetton received a more powerful Ford V8 than Mclaren

[pastel ginkgo]

Ooo

[low valve]

bruh they're both ford v8's

why would one team get a more powerful engine than the other

makes no sense

[oblique dock]

Benetton had a pre existing contract as Ford’s factory team

Mclaren had to use a customer Ford V8

[low valve]

surely they'd be of the same specification though

[hardy briar]

Yep, 4/8

4/6 or 4/4 is my favorite

[round swift]

until half season

when they got the same engine as Benetton

[low valve]

mp4/5b is my fave

[hardy briar]

Nice

When i think senna the 4/4 comes to mind, but when i think of the whole series somehow my mind goes to the 4/6

[oblique dock]

And in the end, Mclaren finished ahead of Benetton in the wcc

[round swift]

it was bound to be

even with a slightly lower grade engine, they had a much better car

[round swift]

the 1988 mp4/4 number 12 was Senna’s

[pastel ginkgo]

👌

[round swift]

The most dominant f1 car in history by two of the greatest drivers ever

[hardy briar]

Didn’t it only loose one race?

And its because he got dsq?

Oh nvm

It was monza, prost retired and senna got p10

[hardy briar]

👌

[round swift]

They should’ve won

[hardy briar]

Yeah

[pastel ginkgo]

[pastel ginkgo]

Yo guys look what i just bought

"I'm getting understeer!"

"On which wheel?!"

[hardy briar]

How

I need it

[pastel ginkgo]

There is this karting stuff store near the track i go karting at

And they were selling senna's helmet replicas

For like 200 dollars

So i asked mom to buy me one

I say that the 019 version is the best tyrrell model from the 1990’s

I’m pretty sure it was the first f1 car with the elevated nose

Or one of the first

The first

And to think it was also supposed to br Rothmans liveried

Yup

[round swift]

Would’ve been a better livery

Nigel Mansell

Mp4-6 was the best

[round swift]

Guess the driver

Alan Jones

Dang

Took him a second

Guess the driver

Wait dang it

His name is on the car

we talked about it on the other server today actually

[hardy briar]

Ah yes my favorite driver, Marlboro

[oblique dock]

Didn’t know Ivan Capelli tested the 643

[round swift]

Yeah I think it was pre season testing

[round swift]

Is this a Haas or a Lola?

What was their team racing name?

[round swift]

Lola-Hart THL1 Beatrice

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lola_THL1

[round swift]

Can u explain the Hart bit?

Hart is the engine

[round swift]

Wasn’t it Ford?

Nope

Oh

Did they have a deal with Ford?

Or is Wiki lying to me

[round swift]

Yes

I saw this

Ford as an engine manufacturer for them?

[round swift]

Yes

[round swift]

1986 British GP

Lola T97/30

Uses a ford engine

Ah

[round swift]

Let me take a look

The Lola THL2 used Ford engines

THL2 uses a ford engine I think

Yes

Ah

The picture I sent was the THL1

Interesting

[round swift]

.

Yep

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lola_THL2

Were Hart engines shit?

[agile bramble]

haas bacc then

[round swift]

Unreliable and the power was marginal but behind mclaren, lotus, Williams etc

[round swift]

Different Haas lol

[agile bramble]

ye\

xd

[round swift]

“The team was commonly known as Haas Lola due to Haas's association with Lola Cars International, although Lola was not involved in the project.”

[agile bramble]

look at haas today

sad

[round swift]

The first THL2-Ford was completed for Jones, but was only able to qualify 21st in comparison to Tambay's eleventh in the THL1-Hart. Jones commented during qualifying that the THL2 was a great handling car, all that was needed was more horsepower from the new engine.

Wow 🤣

[agile bramble]

Why did cars like the 312t have hugeeee airboxs/air intakes?

Been wonderin this for a long time tbh

[signal flint]

For air

[round swift]

i really wonder how Ferrari managed to dominate the 79 title fight with this car

[analog jasper]

they retired less

gilles retired from 3 and sheckter twice\

jones retired 7 times and lafitte retired 8 times

laffite*

[round swift]

true, but then they also were quicker

[short glade]

70s aerodynamicists were high on something

[round swift]

Lmao

[hardy briar]

Instead of push down, why don’t we S U C C down

[meager pewter]

The larger the airbox, the greater amount of air that can be used for the ram effect in order to what is essentially a mild supercharging effect, as that larger volume is still being forced into the same size intake trumpets

There wasn't a height restriction on them so they used all their knowledge to make boxes that made them have more power

This'd increase with speed especially

The picture above isn’t the 012 lol

correct it's the 011

and it isn't ugly neither

*011B and yes it had an enormous huge nose

Definitely not one of the prettiest

i don't think they renamed it the 011B in 1983

[round swift]

The 011 raced in three seasons

yes

and it was always the 011

[round swift]

https://www.oldracingcars.com/tyrrell/011/

There were different versions

yes ofc

which includes the b version
