I once heard it said that drag wise, driving a car above 180mph is like driving a car through a fruit cake.... In my experience once you get to 80 to 100mph then aero really starts playing a part, which agrees with your plot well. Think many peoples experiences with duals and quads also agrees well with your plots. May well help those trying to push for 200mph on a single too. Mass, and downforce and the effects they have are factors that have to be taken into account. Many thanks for the video and discussion, it will defimately help in my overwinter rebuilds. 👏👏👏 I am NOT going to rewind any motors though..... 😂
Hey, thanks for watching my ramblings and for the comment 🙂 There are a lot of unknowns with the speed running but the aerodynamic drag is a known thing that can be calculated so we might as well try and use it to our advantage. I think the success of "dart" style cars are at least partly down to that 👌 Personally I don't plan on rewinding any motors (again) either!! 😂
Steve, i had to watch this twice just to understand a lot of it 😂. Having said that, i now have lots of ideas for next years build. Im sure i will have some questions for you 😉
That for watching 👌 I'm ready and waiting if you have any questions! Im aware that my videos are on a trend of getting longer but I still feel like I'm still just scratching the surface of these (interesting to me) topics!
