I still tend to believe the configuration was the "earlier" because of the short time of the segment between the corners, like the map in the...
The F1 was tested in the earlier track configuration, like in 1988. All the other points are explained above I'm the first to say that g...
I have to correct also that point about Estoril. I just checked. In 1988 the track was longer as you said but in 1988 but Touring cars like M3...
Again. Concerning Tsukuba laps/videos, I'm not so confident about their reliability. The Japan guys seems they were not using the same effort all...
If the F40's driver in the video is pusching hard I'm a world champion winner! The video is showing a 1.14g and if you are looking and seems he is...
I don't want to say that the F1 is slow as many say, but the F1 is not fast in the corners as the map in the article try to say! I don't know how...
I own that article but this is not really convincing by the fact that speed corners on that map we are not sure how they are corrected and...
Oh ok. But this does not change the fact that the F1 seemed to be not effective in corners like was in straight line. Skipad and slalom were low.
Sorry guys, no time to read so many pages back. What's the main point of the argument now?
Yes, but this does explain that on a common flat track with constant corners like Estoril is, the F1 seems to be already in difficulty. Think it...
The McLaren F1 did a 1.55.9 at Estoril when the track was faster than today. Today a Corvette ZR1 did 1.56.4 on a slower track. So the car seems...
There is no way the F1 was that fast.
The Jag did 7.46. I think an F40 can do a better lap time. I know that 7.18 was made by someone in a F40 using the BTG section of the track.
Absolutely pure fantasy that 7.11 for the F1 for me. The car has no downforce, no setting suspensions, alignment and size tires adequately for...
A reason why Sportauto publish corrected power figures for the example of the AMG GT S (claimed 510 ps; dyno verified 558 ps) was explained by the...
Non cat F40 engines were delivered with two different camshafts profile. Officially the engine produced around 478 hp with A cam profile. Some...
Every producer use magazines for marketing. The practise is usually to send fast press cars that are in line with production power range, but they...
There are no camber figures in the 5 pages of GT R test. Anyway the front wheels positions in the pictures seems are very negative in the camber.
To me it's a question of specific alignment for the GT R.
Their dyno is correct - they use a Maha dyno, one of the best and accurate dyno in production. ARE PRESS CARS USUALLY OFF!! IS THAT REALLY HARD...
