      Samm Sheperd how about F-1 innovations period. This whole video was about mostly sports car and endurance racing innovations. Not one mention of monoque chassis or using the engine as a stressed member of the car. Rear engine. This guy is a phoney.

    10:15. I couldn’t agree more. That is why I love Endurance Racing, with IMSA and WEC, the racing is more focused on the companies instead of the drivers. The HUGE problem with modern racing is that there are FAR too many restrictions, and worse yet. The BOP, which slows cars down for being too good. Racing should be the opposite of that. Teams should be congratulated for creating better cars, not beat down. Hopefully with the new Hypercar class in WEC, it will usher in a new era of racing, with the speed of modern cars, but with the Level of innovation of racing from 20 years ago

      Same - I also think the lumping of monocoques crash surfaces and brake discs was rather random (in a pixie dust) sort of way.
      I'm not optimistic about carbon brake discs because passenger vehicles don't need the comparative advantage, and automotive engineers focus on maximizing value for cost. No one buys cars for sub-100ft 60mph to 0 braking performance.

The Chaparral 2F was another of his designs equipped with a rear wing and raced in the Worlds Sports Car Championship. It did race at Le Mans in 1967 but failed to finish.

      Usually the person or entity that gets credit for "first" typically isn't the absolute first, just one of the biggest early *popularizers* of the idea or technology, the one who helped it catch on... Funny how they get all the credit, lol. It's like people thinking Van Halen invented 2-handed tapping on guitar when you can see and hear earlier recorded examples. It's just that he tweaked the technique to his own style and popularized it beyond what anyone else had done previously, so he gets automatically associated with "inventing" it when he really didn't. It's interesting how society/history works like that, lol.

      AMEN! Jim Hall is responsible for many aerodynamic innovations used in auto racing and he gets so little credit. It is nice to see that there are others who recognize his importance in the technology of aerodynamics. His contributions are simply amazing. BTW If you ever get the chance visit the Chaparral wing of the Petroleum Museum in Midland. It is wonderful to see the winged wonders that changed auto racing forever. The Chaparral collection (or parts of it) do travel from time to time so call ahead and check to see if your favorite car will be there. The 2K was away when I went.

    Good video! You definitely did your research and created a high quality video. Just a few things: Drag coefficient for blunt bodies (i.e. squares, spheres, cylinders) is very dependent on another number known as "Reynold's Number", and Reynold's number is dependent on velocity, characteristic length, fluid density, and fluid viscosity. Saying drag coefficient is one exact number isn't actually accurate and the relationship is much more complex. Also, the official way to pronounce Porsche is 'porsh-uh' not just 'porsh'. Still though, good video, just wanted to give some constructive feedback.

    I agree, F-1 is a fascinating sport to watch, because you constantly get to root for technology and skill. I can't imagine a fully automated automotive sport would be very interesting, because the competition of skill creates stakes and tension in the same way that watching 2 pilots square off with different skill levels and different levels of mechanical competence creates tension. PZL P.11 pilots scoring a surprising number of victories over BF-109s, as an example.

There used to be room for engineers to come up with innovative designs (see:turbochargers, which were invented by Renault, then forbidden cause the other manufacturers complained Renault always won...). Nowadays most F1's are sensibly identical, so whether you win or not depends 90% on the pilot.
