To me the 26 regulations almost like just bring the V10 era car back, and it even looked like one. smaller, slimer and narrower car, more agile, insane speed on the straight, but lack of insane downforce in the corner like the current regulation's car. Sadly, we all now know the key to make a F1 car become an insane laptime machine is exactly the insane speed on the apex, but the smaller and narrower car do "looked" faster.
@@Dakkyun exactly. the 2022 cars were projected to be like 3-4 seconds a lap slower than the 2021 cars. same with the 2019 cars, they were projected to be 1.5 seconds slower than the 2018 cars but turned out that in 2020, they developed to be faster.
Crazy how the new regs are faster in the straights but lack the downforce for the corners, but makes sense because they reduced the front and rear wings along with the ground effect capabilities
I don’t understand why they would reduce the ground effect performance… it is so much more efficient than wings whilst also producing less dirty air. Aren’t these new cars supposed to be all about efficiency?
@@Tommmmmmmmmmmmuno de los motivos es la cantidad de agua que levanta el efecto suelo y con el tremendo difusor mas todavía!!

Como ahora que tenenos 4 equipos muy similares en prestaciones 4 equipos! Hacia mucho no se veían 4 equipos muy parejos
@Tommmmmmmmmmmm It may be related to the issue when racing in the heavy rain conditions. You see, the downforce effect produced from ground-effect has already produced a lot of water spray into the rear section of the car, thus making the driver visibility from the following car behind is almost zero.
Those are pretty normal speeds for no DRS. The current gen cars are very draggy, just like the last gen cars. Also, both the Kemmel Straight and the "straight" from Stavelot till Bus Stop are both slightly uphill further reducing top speeds.
@Weerknuffelbeer After Blanchimont the track drops down greatly for the bus stop. However, I don't know if the 2026 cars will be able to take Blanchimont in low drag mode. We'll have to see everything, this is just an Assetto mod based off an already outdated model with no data to back it off, plus teams always find performance
@@raddishone92 Does it? Always felt more uphill to me... but the Spa I know and "drive" is the rather ancient iRacing scan so maybe it's different now.
That’s pretty optimistic in my opinion, I would be surprised if the 2026 cars are even within 5sec of current cars. What FIA promises and actually delivers are often very different.
I honestly think they're going to be extremely close to the WEC hypercar lap times. Which makes no sense because might as well go watch WEC... Better racing, better sounding cars, better looking cars, just better in everyway.
The 1000hp is not true, they can't sustain 1000hp in a race when 50% of the power comes from batteries and now that they don't have the mgu-h to recharge it and they only have the rear wheels to regen it, they can't sustain 1000hp maybe in qualifying, and then their is the weight that the teams themselves say that is impossible to achieve with a bigger battery so their will be quite slow if the rules doesn't change
That is a comparison to the current top car (RB) I reckon by the time 2028 rolls over, the top teams would've gained much of the performance back in the new cars.
Looks like a backwards step for most people. Everyone wants close racing but we all look up to F1 as being the pinacle of motorsport with the fastest cars and these arent
I like the new design with the size difference but I can’t help but wish they’d hold the cars at a level that’s truly pushing the limit. I want to see a car faster than the w11 & rb19.
Something tells me that with the active aero teams will start running higher downforce setups since there’s little to no consequences for it which will probably make up for a lot of the time lost on corners Also we need to remember that this is the fia concept car and not the actual cars that will be developed by the teams which will most likely be quite a lot faster since they’re actually meant to be driven competitively Update about the cars that a lot of people missed: the 2026 regs were changed recently the original 2026 regs were around 3-4 seconds behind the current cars in theory they have been updated they’re now around 1 second slower than the current cars in theory I think there’s a good chance that in practice they could be faster because the active aero will allow teams to run significantly higher downforce than normal (at least relative to the car’s standard downforce levels) and while these cars will most likely still be slower on corners than the current cars the increased speed of the straight will most likely make up for it
The FIA is so stupid: Active aero = Less slipstream in the straights and more dirty air in the corners. How are you gonna improve the racing? They don't know how to do racing cars properly.
@@hexostatus4658what epicmotorsport is talking about is, with every set of regs before the drag on the straights ‘balances’ with the dirty air in the corners. But with these 2026 regs the drag we have will be lessened. Therefore reducing the slip stream effect while the defending car still has the gap from the last corner.
I think they added an "Override" mode which increases power for the cars at certain speeds, basically replacing DRS. Active aero was a measure necessary to prevent stuff like Verstappen mentioned (downshifting at the end of the straight). Less drag was basically necessary if I understand correctly. Of course, less drag == less downforce, thus to compensate for the slower cornering speeds, active aero is introduced so that the cars still have respectable cornering speeds while also having low drag on the straights. I think plenty of articles have describes the need for this, in case I remembered wrong
It's the way to go tbh, I'd rather have a pack of cars racing closely with each other and x seconds a lap slower versus a procession that's breaking speed/lap records. As long as they look fast it doesn't if they're doing 1.34 or 1.40 or whatever
I could be wrong but doesn't it make sense to stick with a format for a long time like 10 years so that eventually costs come down. Isnt racing like any kind of technology where over time it becomes cheaper? At least somewhat cheaper than changing the formula every few years? Wouldn't na v8 or v10 be cheaper by now?
New Looks regs look like a bag of shite. Should have ditched the hybrid and swapped it for a V8 with 100% sustainable fuel. The overall weight saving would have been immense and prob faster than the 2024 regs
Doubt theyll only be 2.4 seconds slower, of course circuit dependent but still, also dont think theyll be as slow as some claim, saying theyll be slower than F2 cars.
This simulation most certainly will be wrong. the electric output is 350kw, but you only have 8.5MJ of energy per lap. so that means you only have 24s of deployment. it would have blown most of its battery by defending up the straight like that and had nothing left afterwards and slow as hell for the rest of the lap. The fastest lap will be somewhat like how a Porsche 919 would run about, which also had about 500hp ICE and similar electric output. It would be more about short bursts to boost to get the car from 100 to 280kph and then switch to ICE only.
Was the battery state of charge and regen modeled correctly? I’d rather see how it holds up over a race distance because there is actually less total regen allowed per lap. Engineering Explained has a great video on it.
They are not, the current cars will have movable feont and rear wings. They will be able to se this active aero pretty much everywhere. The current DRS will be replaced with a "push-to-pass button". You'll hqve extra power when you are behind a car to overtake
They'll do anything but bring back the V8/10s lol. They need a hybrid+turbo setup to mimic a fraction of that eras power 😂 And let's not pretend like the hybrid system is actually going to keep that 1000hp for the entire race, maybe qualifying. Pinnacle of motorsport but we're worried about emissions for no reason
The rule change is very dumb. After 2016 F1 makes the cars wider making an uprise in pace setting new lap records an with more improvements they became the fastest F1 cars ever up the 2021 by setting new track records. 2022 F1 litteraly decides to go backwards by making them 3 sec slower then the previous gens only to help benefit the racing to help cars follow an worse theres a budget cap so teams are producing slow cars on a cheap budget an little development time to help out the back field who are still slow.

this is just the show car teams are gonnna make them alot faster lets compare the 2022 show car to the RB20 or 19 it just shows how much teams made them faster
If that theoretical qualifying time is correct the 26 cars will be as fast as the 2007 cars. So basically we’ve gone in a circle to end up where we shouldn’t have left! Those cars are better in every way. Just slap a halo, and make it pass current crash safety requirements, put efuels in it and let’s go racing!
Unfortunally this is the real situation (with actual tech infos about 2026 rules) and yes, in 2026 F1 cars will be really slower.. .I can't feel this like something good.. 😕
Nah, it's only 30 kgs. The current cars loose 30 kgs of fuel from lap 30 to lap 40 an it's completely imperceptible. From it 70 kgs would start to make a difference. 130 kgs would get you to back mid-2000s agility
Smaller fuel tanks and refueling would help go a long way in lightening and shrinking these cars as well. Don't @ me about how refueling is unsafe. NASCAR and IndyCar, WEC... Why can't F1
F1 2026 won't be more grip than 2020 or 2024!?????? Weird and confused but the simulator of 2026 is very likely fake because the best middle front wing as highest downforce will back after 2005~2008.
The 2026 cars lost an additional 55% more downforce with 30% less drag compared to 2024. There gonna be corning like a indycar or back to F1 in the early hybrid days.
@@AlexsmithGT ok but I don't deserve less downforce as less grip. We want: " more future always needs to be faster F1 cars as more grip, if F1 won't have any several accident!!". 🙂
I guestimate that the 2026 cars will be about 2 seconds a lap slower than the 2025 cars (much like the 2014 set of regs). But, if the racing is better, then who the hell cares about lap times
Do you like F1's new regulations?

Some will complain that they're too slow again.
We don't need very fast cars for beign entertained, like in 2015-2016, we had some pretty sick battles with the same driving style
F1 is just the same regs solving the same problems every 10 years.
Or 2000 with gravel. Going wide while risking it and losing 3 tenths. Or taking risks smacking the car from left to right while touching the gravel, still making it work and win 4 tenths. This all in one lap.

Because of various incidents related to fuel
No wonder no one is happy about the new regulations
This mod is not very realistic btw, the car has way to much hp and downforce, still a cool vid tho!
Reworked the physics. The original car is way off, 5+ seconds faster. I'm very confident that by 2026 these cars won't be slower than this at Spa.
Future looks grim.
F1 2026 is a Indycar but more overcomplicated
More electric
Joh. It's Unbelievable fast.
Bettet HALO in future
At this rate the Hypercars/GTPS are going to be faster
2026 1100HP?
F1 2026 won't be more grip than 2020 or 2024!?????? Weird and confused but the simulator of 2026 is very likely fake because the best middle front wing as highest downforce will back after 2005~2008.
Not at all. The cars will have way less downforce. Almost F2 levels
The 2026 cars lost an additional 55% more downforce with 30% less drag compared to 2024. There gonna be corning like a indycar or back to F1 in the early hybrid days.
@@AlexsmithGT ok but I don't deserve less downforce as less grip. We want: " more future always needs to be faster F1 cars as more grip, if F1 won't have any several accident!!". 🙂
I think this is even too close. I was say 4-5 seconds a lap slower
I guestimate that the 2026 cars will be about 2 seconds a lap slower than the 2025 cars (much like the 2014 set of regs). But, if the racing is better, then who the hell cares about lap times
