i guess
To this day, I don't know if the false start at Nurburgring 1999 was a legit false start or it was intentional by the FIA to catch some teams jump starting the race https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWhA5DBuLJw
Many cars jump the start when the lights were on at the 1999 European Grand Prix. Commentary by Murray Walker and Martin Brundle.
the start light sequence was the same for all the races until then
some teams played an beep on the driver's earphone a couple milliseconds before the lights went out to get a perfect start
the fia heard about it and for this race they changed the pattern for the lights without telling the teams
then that happened
Why did senna race with #27 that year
Prost won the 1989 WDC, so in accordance to the number regulations, Prost got 1 on his Ferrari (while Nigel got 2). And since Ferrari had kept 27 and 28 for quite some time, I imagine that they would simply not be discarded. So therefore, 27 and 28 went to Senna and Berger
My explanation might not be entirely correct
Alain Prost transferred from McLaren to Ferrari, bringing his number 1 with him, and thereby allocating Mansell number 2. Thus 27 transferred to McLaren where it was assigned to Senna’s car.
27 had graced the cars of, among others, Jones, Villeneuve, Mansell, Senna and Prost. Quite a line up.
Very nice and funny interview between Ayrton Senna and a female Japanese reporter.
good for him
honestly
good for him
wonder if she was one of the women that told him "go faster"
like that other interview
i think it was featured in the movie about him

Crazy just how dominant the mp4/4 was…
Only race the car lost was because Ayrton got crashed in to and prost retired
Yup
Absolute insanity
Italian GP
And it’s not like it didn’t have good drivers or cars competing against it, it was just on another level
Plus prost and senna
2 amazing drivers
I would love to see a mclaren special livery that recreates the old red and white
Did you know that senna once dated a 15 year old back in 1985 and it lasted until 1988. Her name was Adriane Yamin.
Edgar Allen Poe momento
*Allan
And wasn’t it his cousin he dated?
That’s a lot worst tbh
Go right ahead
Lol
Woah
Double woah
I heard it was intentional bcs teams created a system which sent an audible warning to the driver 100 milliseconds before the last red light went out. The result was a perfect start.
FIA but soon became suspicious and prepared a cunning trick for the 1999 European Grand Prix to reveal who was cheating. The race director changed the starting sequence without notifying the drivers and teams.
meanwhile me who is all for the MP4/13
real shame they didn't make their actual cars with this livery
less good
It was doomed
lmao
i can see that
99?
Yes
Its purpose was similar to the one surrounding the Toyota TF101 of 2001, in that it was supposed to be a working test car used in preparation for a full scale development on Grand Prix racing in the following years.
The Toyota TF101 was the first formula one car to run on Esso fuel since the 1960’s.
wasnt toyota meant to join in 2001 but got delayed to the next year
Just for testing purposes
hmm
2002 was there first year
Shame Harvey Posthlewaite died
:c
would have been interesting to see that Honda compete. From what I remember, it clocked in some decent times at the hands of Jos Verstappen
:o
Mid-field times
“The project was looking promising, with the prototype machine setting competitive midfield times in tests with Jos Versyappen alongside better funded and more established F1 teams.”
Jos Verstappen testing the Hond RA 99 on Mugello.
One of the most promossing F1 cars that never made it to a single Grandprix.
Designed by Harvey Postlethwaite.
Full story will be released soon !
looks like a jordan in honda colors
idk bout dis
The RC101 and 101B prototypes by Honda
This used the RA122E V12
Satoru Nakajima at the wheel
that doesnt look 1996
Well it was made in 96 but never raced
dis
That was 92-93 I think
well it has grooved tyres so it cant be 96
and it has 4 grooves on the front tyres so it cant be 98
McLaren which was used to test Honda V10 during 1988
raised nose MP4/5 isn't real
Monza 1990
it can't hurt you
Lol
In the late 1987 McLaren built an MP4/3B test car replacing the TAG Porsche engine with the Honda turbo.
The car was tested by Prost, Senna and test driver Emanuele Pirro.
1987 Monza?
I can’t tell by the track
Prost lapped Imola over 2 seconds faster in the MP4/4 than he had in the MP4/3B
wowie
That’s the MP4/4 for ya
The track is Silverstone
“The car ran for the first time in Prost’s hands at a chilly Silverstone in December, and later in the winter Senna took the wheel for his first ever experience of a McLaren since his famous test with the team in 1983.”
The MP4/4 went on track and the lap times just went quicker and quicker and quicker. It was getting dark – and Ayrton didn't want to stop. It was an absolutely amazing experience.”
In Senna's hands the car was an astonishing two seconds faster than its nearest rival.
Dear god…
mein gott
dayum
Prost did a test with ligier in 1992 when he was in his off season and he was 1.9 seconds faster than their contracted driver Thierry Boutsen who was no slouch. His time was good enough for front row start in Estoril and that was in Ligier which was nowhere near a top team in 1992. The old fox still had it. Alain is my top 3 of all time for a reason. Not even Senna made it in my top 3. If you carefully research his career and watch some of his races you would know why I have this opinion.
Why didn’t he race with them then
If he was that fast, even though pole positions don’t matter as much as a win…?
But 2 seconds faster is pretty impressive with a Liger tbh lol
Because Ferrari were still paying him for 1992 so he doesnt drive with anyone and he judged that despite the fact he could get most out of the car the team didnt have resources and wasnt serious enough to commit. In other words he knew he wont challenge for the title and it would be a waste of time driving for them. Guy Ligier was broken after the test because he wanted him but couldnt sign him because he already had contracted drivers. He knew how much faster his cars could go with Alain behind the wheel and what a opportunities he had with him behind the wheel so it bothered him alot he isnt able to put Alain in his car. With him they would have been best of the rest with alot of podiums.
Meh I don’t think he would’ve got any podiums with them, especially against McLaren, Benetton, Ferrari, and Williams. It seemed like Liger had a few engine problems during the season too.
Did they have a customer Renault engine?
Renault RS3C V10 while Williams had it too until they switched to the RS4 during the season
About a 50 horsepower difference sorta
Cursed
wait: is michael schumacher alive?
yes
Dude yes he’s alive
Even though we don’t know his medical state, I believe he is in a wheelchair though.
Happy Birthay Michael. Turn 53 today the Kaiser
His birthday is tomorrow
For EST
but not for OVEST
what’s ovest
Anyways here’s the FW11B
Williams first active suspension formula car
@oblique dock I wonder which formula one car is the most powerful in trim qualifying setup?
The Benetton B186 made 1,350 - 1,400 horsepower in qualifying trim
The Lotus 98T
I’m guessing it would have to be one of the BMW powered cars from 1986, but I’m guessing it might be the Benetton
1984 brabham
hp amount unknown to me
according to some rumors the engine broke the dyno at the bmw factory because it was so op
I’m getting 1,250HP
imagine unrestricted modern v6 hybrids
Relatively speaking, I did fastest laps
In this video you'll see the most powerful Formula 1 car ever that participated a qualification. It produced at least 1500HP at the testbank, but due to the fact that testbanks at that time were not able to measure forces above 1500HP they had to stop increasing the turbo boost. They literally pushed the BMW M12/13 1.5L engine to limit as after ...
And even though that's fastest laps in the race
and does this matter to the current conversation
imma go sleep im tired
The BMW M12
The most powerful engine in Formula One
Page 1 of 2 - Most powerful turbo car? - posted in TNFs Archive: Im a child of the 80s. So my favourite F1 memories have been of the turbo era. Im also a sucker for facts and figures. But so far one has eluded me; does anyone know what the most powerful turbo car between 77 and 88 was?
Ive read many accounts of people saying the BMW in the b...
Read the comments
Pretty cool facts
“It was capable of 1,400-1,500 hp in maximum boost.”
before exploding
it once had such a massive detonation in testing it ripped the car in half and put a piston into the pavement
Yeah 1,100hp in qualifying trim in 1984
The top five cars through the speed trap at Monza (Berger and teammate Teo Fabi, Brabham's Derek Warwick and Riccardo Patrese, and the Arrows of Thierry Boutsen) were all powered by the BMW M12.
And it reached 352.22 km/h.
Murray Walker: "I hate to say this but, a lot of people here are really debating whether Ricardo Rosset is Formula 1 material."
Martin Brundle: "Well it's a fairly short debate, Murray."
It was this race as well where the fed up Tyrell mechanics switched the words on Rosset's name to Tosser
"Some people say he often drives like he's going backwards...
...but now he's putting it into practice!"
Good ol’ Murray Walker
happy birthday, Michael Schumacher!
legendary car
Schumi's bd? Schumi's bd.
nice
That doesn't look like Michael
shi
that might not be him, ye
still qualifies for classic, so...
I'll simply post a definitely Michael pic as a penalty
heyyyy, nice
y'know, the 1st version of this pic I saw had the tobacco and beer sponsors cut out

ye ye
Happy bday Micheal :D
There was a story where Benetton wanted to disguise smb as him
Happy Birthday Michael
Just have to do the clear coat tomorrow

this Michael topic makes me wonder, will Ferrari go to a darker red again now that PMI is gone? hmmm
i'd like the 1995 red back
it is
You probabily know I'm more a V10 guy in terms of "which is my favorite sounding F1 engine". But I must say this is the second time I'm able to hear the Ferrari 3.0 V12 mounted on the 1995 412 T2 F1 car and it's the second time I get goose bumps at every accelerations or fly by. It's a bit of a contradiction but this is my favorite sounding F1 c...

1994 had the best looking cars but the entire season just got infiltrated by the Grim Reaper trying to get some souls

ikr... rest in peace ayrton
Mansell dominated 92
Anyone recognise the name Depailler?
Patrick Depailler?
French sounding name. Could still Switzerland, Canada, Belgium…
He died while testing at the old Hockenheimring with Alfa Romeo
He is underrated driver
He is from France.
Yeah yeah just saying
Yeah
never heard of him
From the 2001 US GP qualifying session. A newly turned 20 year old Fernando Alonso beat the likes of Jacques Villeneuve and Jos Verstappen to qualify his Minardi in a seasons high 17th place. 1.3 seconds ahead of his teamate.
his car dominated 92
🥺
Québec people have huge french sounding names lol, even more than we do imo
and he dominated his teammate
Yeah exactly. My name doesn’t sound that french tbh more Italian
yeah neither does mine
Gilles Villeneuve, Claude Bourbonnais, Patrick Carpentier. Just to name a few French Canadian drivers
Lance Stroll, Nicholas Latifi, but these don't really work for some reason
Well they aren’t French Canadians, so…
pardon?
Nicholas Latifi was born in Montreal but doesn’t have a French last name
also he doesn't speak french, supposedly
He’s just Canadian
he's from Québec
Doesn’t mean he’s French
but he's from the minority that doesn't speak french#
well no.. Canadians and Québécois aren't french
Exactly.
Oh
he says he can't, so he probably can't
Stroll on the other hand, can.
Stroll is definitely french canadian
his jmum
Lando and Max are also half Belgian. Funny how Max was born 1997, Stroll 1998, and Lando 1999.
Speaking of Max, he’s gonna turn 25 this year
September 30th
Max is the first Dutch F1 champion
Which is pretty cool
@oblique dock Model??
The 1991 Coloni C4?
Andrea Sassetti acquired some old Colonis when Andrea Moda entered F1
The Coloni C3B
Oh. Trussardi (chassis name)
I thought Trussardi was a sponsor for some company, not the team itself
No wonder why I guessed the B186 in the first place
Yeah haha
It was with a megatron engine
But there registration was denied or something

Al commento, oltre a Poltronieri, anche l'ingegner Mauro Forghieri, spettatore interessato perchè all'epoca era responsabile tecnico della Lamborghini Engineering
Michele Alboreto, once a race-winner with Tyrrell and Ferrari, is reduced to wrestling the fundamentally flawed Lola T93/30-Ferrari around the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in a vain attempt to qualify. The 1993 season was the first in several years in which the number of entries (26) matched the number of guaranteed race starters, so for most of t...
Emerson Fittipaldi driving the Lotus 72D for a pre-season test at an unknown track in Spain
The only reason he wore a white helmet is "he wanted to cause a stir for a potential new driver"
lmao
while in fact it did the opposite
The media believed it was Stewart piloting the machine
They thought he'd be part of JPS Lotus for the 72 season
but nope
Just Fittipaldi
lmao
The 70s Alpine that never raced
Alpine Renault A500
Before the A500 was tested in 1976, Jean-Pierre Jabouille did several tests with the A441 prototype (fitted with the Turbo engine) in November 1975 at Paul-Ricard.
Later the A500 would make it’s first “secret” test at Michelin’s test track Ladoux. The first “public” test with the A500 was in June 1976. Later in the season the A500 now in a yellow livery would be tested at Nogaro.
The ol switcharoo
Does jps count?
It has to be just black
enzo ferrari's master🅱️ lan
Making sure everyone who made this car happen would leave the team?
lol
he buried the car too as far as I remember
see any commonalities there?
No
79? The ground effects car with the dfv?
Oh I see it is a dfv cause 4 spark plugs are there but which one is it?
Lol
That's a McLaren M26 and a Lotus 78, both 1977 models
ahh thanks a lot
mclaren's were using chevy v8's during that time right?
Oh maybe that was can am nvm
Everyone and their mom used the Cosworth DFV in F1 (ok not really, Ferrari and Renault made their own thing, and Alfa Romeo for Brabham)
Villeneuve's family after the 1978 Canadian GP
easily one of the sexiest f1 cars for me
Yeah Newey tends to make pretty cars
It stood out a lot in the 1988 field where most cars are chonky
Also it was darn efficient for an NA model of a small team
Newey also worked in Indycar with March
Yes i know, I've read the book :)
Is that the blue ferrari?
Far fetch mate
no that would've been in 1964, this one is 61. though they had a yellow one for Belgium's Gendebien
ive just found the motorsport mag archive. new articles and images from 1920s till now

Oh wow that rari looks incredible
Not rly frank Stephenson the designer himself said that while designing the f430 front air dam, the sharknose 'rrari was his inspiration
before 2001
it is a beautiful car though
often forgotten amidst the F2002 and F2004
I’m not sure I can rank either of them lol
they’re both beautiful Ferraris
actually, what do you think is the most iconic f1 car to someone who’s never watched an f1 race
I’m told the F2002 is pretty popular in that category
A lot of people, including me would probably say the Mclaren MP4/4
interesting, I’ve interestingly never heard “MP4/4” as a response from a non-f1 person
well, I guess we can solve this by searching up “f1 cars” on google and see which one comes up 
first 3 results for me:
2022 concept
RB16B
2010 McLaren?
that was unexpected, 2010 McLaren
By any means, the 2010 Red Bull should be more popular. That, the 2011, and 2013 Red Bull
I misinterpreted the question as “what do you think is the most iconic f1 car if you told a person who’s never watched an f1 race”
I’d say Ferrari F2002 or 2004 would be up there
those are universally known emblems of speed I think
I think the most iconic f1 car would be a ferrari betwin 2000-2004 or a lotus from the 60s to ealry 70s
Im not 100% sure
most iconic F1 car has to be the 2004 Ferrari
Jordan 191, FW14B, MP4/4, F2004, Lotus 43
191 is surprisingly popular yeah
for such a “niche” car to get popular, it makes me happy
another one I’ve seen from local questions is the B194/195
I think that’s just because everyone’s seen it here, being Schumacher’s first title winning car
Definitely iconic
Ferrari 641
641, yeah
What about the 412T2? Any person who has never seen an F1 race would probably associate this car heavily with V12’s in F1
In the future I think the W11 will be a very iconic car
The MP4/12 is kinda iconic
hm… I think any 90s Ferrari is iconic to most people
The silver
True
of course the 00-04 Ferraris are just undisputed too
I don’t actually see the current cars becoming iconic to non-f1 fans
or, as iconic as say the F2002
Though that car is technically the fastest F1 car I think, right
yes, which is why I said “non-f1 fans”
f1 fans will always remember it as the fastest f1 car ever
Oh I read that so wrong
I guess, but that’s a one-off livery
Ehh not too iconic
Depends on the person, could be anything from schumi’s cars to hamiltons, depends on how old they are and where they are from
The Life L190, just tell people that it is a Ferrari
that's assuming people who have never watched F1 know what a V12 really mean
i'm sure lots of people who weren't really interested in the sports didn't know when engines had 10 pistons, or 8
it's just a F1 car, it makes the sound of it
Ah yes the 1995 Ferrari 412 T2. The last Formula 1 cad powered by a V12 engine, and the most powerful V12.
Gerhard Berger and Jean Alesi driving the Ferrari 412 T2 at the 1995 Italian Grand Prix

But it’s so hard to say. So many great v10’s out there especially with the Ferrari’s
no i think the 3L engines sound better than the 3.5L
Personal preference pretty much it comes down too
oh yes definitely
This video is about a Ferrari F2001 (chassis 208) my friend Italiansupercarvideo, MattyB727 and I recorded last August during the Ferrari Racing Days at Mugello Circuit.

Yes that one thanks 😁
In 1975, Ferrari came with this thing
They literally were like
If it works on plane
it works on car right
What be they?
I think on the aircraft they were actually fuel tanks
So
its weird as fuck that Ferrari put them on a car
Bruh
Well its a test mule (12T), it's worth seeing if there's any gain ig?
Yeah if its testing then I think Ferrari was like, 'planes have this, we dont have much clue how aero works yet, so lets try this thing planes have'
and then found out it literally didnt work
So it was just brought in just randomly ?
just a random thing they tried in testing
Still funny tho
"works on plane, so might work on car" while its a fuel tank on the planes lol
I'm surprised they didn't have fiat engineers who worked on planes
Heres the same thing on a bigger plane btw
was quite common on propeller planes
Lockheed Super Constellation
Nice name
Constellation was used during WW2 as a transport plane iirc
post war they renovated the model to the Super Constellation to serve passengers
Ferrari's Tipo 043 V12 was putting out around 850 hp @ 15,800 rpm, which is to date the most-powerful naturally-aspirated V12 engine ever used in Formula One.
And the 043 was what year chief
🤣🤣
People usually get it confused for being the 041.
043 has a wider V-angle and shorter stroke compared to the 041.
Yes the litre restriction from 3.5L to 3.0L limited it to 60 horsepower less

sound and pics from matra 670 3L v12
pics are from google images!
Powered by Matra MS81 3.0 V12
The V12 engine, designated the MS81 and newly developed by Georges Martin, initially generated an average of 510 bhp at 12,500 rpm.
It has been 40 years since Matra won their last race as an engine supplier at the 1981 Candian Grand Prix
Coincidentally, Laffite’s win at Canada was the last during that season and of his career
That Matra went on to make 535 at 13.2
The stallion driven by Bandini
…at the track where his life had been tragically cut short.
Clipping your teammate and backflipping acroos the line
lol
isnt the 670 a prototype class car for endurance racing tho?
and that...is how you do a turbocharged engine
1500 hp from a basic old m10 block found in your 1968 bmw 2002
It wasn't 1,500 chill out
yes that is a sports car
Especially in 1982
the BMW M12/13 was also very known for its reliability
It got to a rumoured 1,400 but the dyno doesn't exceed 1,280, and the uh... More personal quote is more like 1,100 in 86
In 82 the max would've been 840 range
Wait hold up that image isn't even of the BT50 BMW it has two exhausts
That's a BT49 with a DFV
what allowed them to reach that much more power in 85/86, not just the turbo boost pressure being higher?
Oh wait that could be one exhaust with the rear wing pylon blocking
It was fuel mixture having less octane variance
Increase in computer useage for fuel delivery
oh ye electronic injection
And like... How much can we push the batty boi before it blows
and in 86 Renault introduced the pneumatic valves
But I doubt BMW would have those
no i don't think so
Also I believe anti-lag was pioneered through F1's turbo era
I could be wrong as Indy had Turbos from the 60's bit
not sure they really needed that, i would expect it coming from rallye actually
Renault’s engine also began with too-high a B/S ratio of 2.01 as a result of simply de-stroking their CH2 V6 2L Formula 2 engine. It had to be redesigned to 1.62 in 1985.
excuse me what, it took them 7 years to redesign their bore/stroke ratio?
Idk I was talking about the engine…
ahh ok
Congrats @night parcel, you're now on lap 15
it was very cool tho
1.5 litres
950 hp/l
apparently they used m10 4 cyl engine blocks from old bmw 2002's and base model e30's but that might have been a rumour
cause that engine was pretty stout
they added twin cam heads tho
very prone to detoation, that engine was
i mean to do that with such tight tolerances
you have to redesign your crank and block
your cylinder liners
your head
but still ig 7 years are pretty fucking long
They used those blocks and reportedly peed on em because they theorised that if they'd been weak they'd have failed by now
yeah lol that
old 10 yr old blocks🤣
but it worked
for about 10 mins
and then blew up
in spectacular fashion
But then you'd have the laptime
yes lol
didnt they use some dirty ass fuel
that sprayed drivers with black soot
the word "race fuel" was loosely misinterpreted
yeah that lol
cancer is always good
Nah Toluene's cash
lol
did any 80's turbo car have direct injection?
or well all manifold indirect style injection?
Not that I know of
oh ok
weird considering older f1 cars did have em
about 35 years before the 80's infact
I thought Direct Injection was banned before it became a thing
Other than the Nazi mobiles possibly
yes
mercs and auto union cars had em
very cool
and desmo valves too
some 50's merc f1 car made 600 hp
50's?
Try 30's chief
yeah that that
I forgor💀
ahh found it @meager pewter
The Mercedes-Benz W125 was a Grand Prix racing car designed by Rudolf Uhlenhaut to race during the 1937 Grand Prix season. The car was used by Rudolf Caracciola to win the 1937 European Championship and W125 drivers also finished in the second, third and fourth positions in the championship.The supercharged engine, with 8 cylinders in line (94.0...
this mf
720 hp
that's a lotta power now
The Auto Union Typ.C made 520
The i8 W125 made 560-580
But the DAB V12 W125's made well...
That 700 figure
almost a century later
allegedly
how tf didnt the dynos break
wouldnt 30's dynos be rated for like 300 hp
... Coz they probably had Aero dynos or calculated it bases on drag data
which was what dusenberg's had
maybe
Remember the DB60× series V12's were making well above 1,000
The 603S or 603N to power the T.80 was touted at 3,000 or abov3
hmm idk bout that
alright m8 gtg study now
gn
the electronic injection they had in the 80s wasn't direct?
The Mercedes-Benz W196 was direct injection
Was the Bosch Motronic System direct?
If so then yes
I always thought that direct injection was banned before it made a return in the modern era
These don't look too direct to me
I thought as well that it was banned before 2014
and I remember before that each individual trumpet had its own injector
Is that from the Mercedes-Benz W196?
It used the Bosch direct injection
“The 1954 Mercedes-Benz W196 Formula 1 racing car engine used Bosch direct injection derived from wartime aircraft engines.”
Fuel injection is the introduction of fuel in an internal combustion engine, most commonly automotive engines, by the means of an injector. This article focuses on fuel injection in reciprocating piston and rotary piston engines.
All diesel (compression-ignition) engines use fuel injection, and many Otto (spark-ignition) engines use fuel injecti...
If only they had like 3 different injectors
At the end of the season Renault introduced the revised EF15C which in addition to the D.P. valve gear also boasted common rail fuel injection and much-revised water cooling through the cylinder head reducing the likelihood of pre-ignition (detonation).
common rail injection, this is indirect?
that's from the Lotus 98T wikipedia page (1986)
It’s direct
So? They had electronic fuel injection
(Renault RE30B)
Renault was the first team to use fuel injection in formula one to reduce the temperature of the intake mixture.
Renault was therefore the first manufacturer to have adopted water injection to preserve turbo-compressed engines from detonation (which was destructive for the engines).

The purpose of these water injections had, at least, 3 very distinct essential roles: - to...
Electronic ignition was added in 1982 and water injection in 1983 – the later was a method of cooling ‘hot-spots’ in the combustion chamber to prevent premature detonation.
Also the pneumatic valve system was introduced in Formula One in 1986 with the Renault EF-Type.

Ayrton testing the monster BMW powered Brabham
woah where did you get this photo?
Found it on a website called Grand Prix 247. Here's the link to the article https://www.grandprix247.com/2019/03/03/flashback-when-senna-tested-for-brabham/
On 14 November 1983, at Paul Ricard circuit in France, Brabham assembled Ayrton Senna, Mauro Baldi, Pierluigi Martini and Roberto Guerrero to test a Brabham BT52B BMW at Paul Ricard as per invitation by team boss Bernie Ecclestone. That year Senna had triumphed over Martin Brundle in a historic British Formula 3 Championship duel. In […]
gilles, prost, didier?, idk
ye not sure who's the last one
Teo Fabi
alright
Chief THAT'S RON DENNIS
ye i figured this face was familiar
we're just so used to see him without hair lol
but legend has it, he wasn't born bald
Oh yeah all the Nazi radial engines were direct injected
Nope. Bosch motronic was indirect, with one injector per cylinder. Pretty common in late 80's-90's bmws. In the m88, they look sexy
The indirect injection feeds directly into the individual throttle body intake trumpets
So...before 82, were all the pumps for the fuel injection mechanical?
ig, Renault tried electronic injection at the tail end of 1981, can't find any notes about it for the whole of the 1980 or 1981 seasons
the Bosch one was for BMW initially
Renault had one for the 1982 Monaco GP, probably not by Bosch
yeah they struggled a lot with it in the season, i suppose it was made in house and that was the problem
isnt motronic for road cars?
i said Bosch, i didn't say Motronic
oh ok ok
we're all used to it
Does he?
being an f1 driver for a top team in the 80s sounds fun
why?
Gillies, Prost, didier, Ron Dennis
looks like an attempt and a half
Looks really nice
👍🏼
the boys

Never knew they had a helmet camera back in 1994 wow 😯
better than what we have now
how the hell did they fit a camera on his helmet
its def not inside it or else analog signal issues
There’s a little camera attached to his helmet on the side
Yup exactly
Alonso’s camera was built directly inside the helmet
run a video cable with the radio cable
to the helmet
And broadcast with the existing antennae
