Formula Alternative - [Results Out]

[ErenWithPizza]

I just use the 1m ruler fixture and eyeball it to the middle of the rim

With the 1m ruler setting the red length to any number will make the ruler exactly that length and it only makes it longer in the opposite end, so you can set this end to from where you need to measure and the other end gets longer or shorter depending on what you set the length to. 1.0 is 1m and 1.2 for example is 1.2m, 0.8 is 0.8m. It’s not exact when you have to eyeball it, but it takes very little effort and is better than nothing

[jorge_703]

Thank you very much! I will add the rule that no part of the car can extend more than 0.45m behind the rear axle and 0.9m in front of the front axle

[ErenWithPizza]

Also what are the rules with ATS? Is changing the wheelbase allowed? Ride height? Wheels size and stuff like that?

[jorge_703]

For ATS I will allow changing the position of the engine to make it fit inside of the body. Ride height can be changed to allow a nice rake angle (but don’t go over the top). Of course you can also use it to hide the chassis. Wheel size and wheelbase can’t be changed

[DakotaRaptor_C4]

What about tyre compound? Are we allowed to have any tire compound of the radial race category or will you limit it to one?

[jorge_703]

I will test it when I have my computer with me, but at first glance, I will mandate the hard compound of radial race tyres

[jorge_703]

After having done some tests, tyre choice is free except rally tyres. So from Drag tyres to Wet tyres, it is up to you guys to choose!

@jorge_703

For Turbocharged engines: Maximum boost must be achieved before 50% of max RPM. So, an engine that revs to 10500 rpm has to achieve maximum boost pressure before 5250 rpm.

what about twincharged engine

[jorge_703]

The turbo must work at full power before 50% of the rev range, so the big jump of boost must be before half the rev range.

How do I DM? Also when you say all submissions SHOULD include: does that mean that its a suggestion that I add a presentation in the thread or is it required?

thanks

[jorge_703]

For the DM, just click on my profile picture and press message, then add the .car file and all is good. For the presentation, you have to do it except if for some reason you can’t do it anymore (computer broke, Automation is acting up, etc…) but let me know in that case

Technical Analysis

~1:38:90 Hotlap in Automation Test Track

Overall Change

Engine:

1 Litre Twincharged Even-firing V6, Carat fuel powered, the numbers are hidden for the competitive purpose, experimenting high reinforced magnesium block.

Chassis:

To gain safety while maintaining performance in this season, the nose is lowered but still maintain the area to create low-pressure zone.

Drivetrain:

-Instead of using seamless sequential transmission, in this season, our team has decided to switch on the dual-clutch transmission for lightning fast gear change, though it is slightly heavier and the center of gravity moved to the rear.

-The steering rack remain manual, but the anti-roll bar changed to reduce the body roll.

Narnilla GP Spec

In this track we fully prioritize the outwash aero package and tyre wake management.

The front wing (3 elements wing):

-The endplates instead of using the inwash like the last track, we swapped for an outwash setup, provide cleaner air for the floor and eliminate the tyre wake.
-The conventional pylons are replaced with single bulbous nose, provide better air management.
-The diveplanes are shortened due to the regulation.
-Cascades are added also to generate cleaner air and remove the front-tyre wake, this additional wings also provide extra small downforce.
-Front T-wings are added to provide front-end downforce.

The floor:

-Front edges are sloped upward to create low-pressure zone, making ground effect , combining with the rear height increased.
-Winglets are added to channel the air to the winglets on the rear brake-ducts.

The body:

-Straight fins added to add more extra air to the rear wing.
-Rear-side wings added to increase downforce and eliminate rear tyre wake.
-Parts under sidepod channel the air outside.
-Shark fin remains, and added extra strakes for cleaner airflow.
-Rear T-wing added for extra downforce, flow more air to the rear wing.

The rear wing:

-The swan-neck are slightly raised for more downforce.
-Back to 2 elements instead of 3 elements.
-Less aggressive gurney flaps.

Is there a price cap / suggested price for the car itself?

[jorge_703]

No price cap, but lower is always better. Don’t be hesitant to put some quality on your car. >100k isn’t uncommon in my opinion

[BababooeyGamington]

I have a question regarding ATS. I’m trying to use this body to make my car but the front axle sits way too far forward for an F1 car.

Could I move the front axle back using the wheelbase offset?

[jorge_703]

Well the wheelbase would definitely drop below 2.9m so I’m gonna say no

[BababooeyGamington]

You are right, I measured it with the ruler and it changed by 15cm. I think the mod is a bit odd then as the suspension would enter the nose.

[jorge_703]

To be fair the mod is made for 1990’s F1 cars, whose wheelbase is 2.88m. Nowadays it is at 3.4m irl, so in this challenge, the cars are much smaller than irl

>100k isn’t uncommon in my opinion

Any sort of soft cap? I originally just used max quality and had one costing around 700k but even my current build is just under 300k which doesn’t seem absurd to me for a high level formula car but is a lot more than 100k.

[jorge_703]

No soft limits will be set. If you want to max quality everything (except tyres) then go for it. Just know that you will score very badly in cost measurement and maybe a bit better in the other categories
