#

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

# low valve 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

round swift
#

27 had graced the cars of, among others, Jones, Villeneuve, Mansell, Senna and Prost. Quite a line up.

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 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.

# round swift In Senna's hands the car was an astonishing two seconds faster than its nearest ...

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.

round swift
#

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

karmic trellis
# round swift Why didn’t he race with them then

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.

And the 043 was what year chief

043 has a wider V-angle and shorter stroke compared to the 041.

the BMW M12/13 was also very known for its reliability

meager pewter

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

past drift
#

what allowed them to reach that much more power in 85/86, not just the turbo boost pressure being higher?

meager pewter
#

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

meager pewter

But I doubt BMW would have those

past drift
#

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

past drift
#

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?

the electronic injection they had in the 80s wasn't direct?

round swift
#

The Mercedes-Benz W196 was direct injection

#

Was the Bosch Motronic System direct?

#

If so then yes

meager pewter
#

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

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

past drift
#

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)

round swift
#

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).

#
#

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.
