So Newey's secret as to why his cars are so aerodynamically successful is because he's really good at applying tape smoothly over complex shapes. Finally he's been exposed.
I think it looks great. I really like the clean smooth look of the Porsche compared to others. Its also cool that they don't have to use dive planes on the front. It looks better and leaves less debris out on track if there is contact. the holes on top of the wheel wells are very distinct and give it that streamlined look.
Thanks, this was an awesome video. I think they should change the rules to for e teams to actually show the underbody and floor at the start of each race weekend or after parc ferme begins. They can force them to drive over cameras pointed up towards the floor at the very least. They could put the cameras on pit lane or at the weigh station or just force teams to lift the car to take and share prescribed pictures. I don’t know if it would help struggling teams, but it would be extremely interesting for technical motorsport fans. The underbody and floor is so important to understanding how each car works and not being allowed to see it is similar to if teams censored the back half of each car on TV with a black box.
@@fqeagles21There's not really anything to show or hide for LMDH; it's the same underside geometry that's been a part of LMP regulations since 2004, and most of the unique treatment that happens at the front would fall in kind with what the constructors have previously done. Being 2026 LMP2 cars (and therefore of very limited aero development value anyhow) in large automaker clothing doesn't really provide much reason to anyhow.
3:36 which book is that? I remember a very similar idea being used by the Nissan GTP team but I would love to get the source for that drawing and pictures
It just raises the bar for new gen street hypercars. Do you think this focus on utilizing difusors more than upper aero elements makes additional pressure on smaller manufacturer that they need to invest more in chasis and aero than before? Given than F1 teams still cannot fully understand it, how can we expect small manufacturers to do the same?!
as we have seen on the peugeot it's all matter of ground clearance and its sensitivity : if they can extract performance they'll do it, but who, probably in their 60's, would drive a with a reputation of sketcky limit handling? Porsche had this problem with the carrera gt and it seems to me that the 918 was the most tame of its hypercar generation
3:47 Is this part of the splitter/wing subject to flexibility testing during scrutineering? The raised part deflecting under load seems like an area to exploit.
The rear of the diffuser is vertically concave, but horizontally convex - they transition from vertical to horizontal expansion wherever possible to minimise porpoising.🧐
Hey herr B, I stumbled over a fascinating life story of an engineer from Mittweida, Gerhard Neumann. Jewish, in school in 1938, decides to go to China to help chiang kai shek - ends up as the creator of the GE J79 in the F-4 Phantom and head of General Electric's jet engine division. He might be the last of the Mittweida legends for your series 😃
There’s no funding for wec teams from the aco, meaning open development would lead to a series that lasts 1-2 years max. Teams can still make better cars in terms of drivability, but BoP is necessary here in modern motorsports. F1 shouldn’t have BoP, each team makes a profit from the prize money so they can afford to experiment

Every F1 team use clay and tape without folds3, 😂😂Watch closesely
@@fqeagles21 Learn what a joke is.🤣
@@Jesko. 🤣🤣🤣😂
Porsche is driven by engineering and problem solving, and aero is a massive differentiator in racing. Great video, thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Love your Videos!!! I´m 14 years old and want to get race engeer or work in race aerodynamics. Thanks for all these explanations
Good age to decide your career path!
that was amazing, thanks
Glad you liked it!

It has a smooth design language, timeless, like most Porsches
Can you do a review on the aero of the Lotus Evija X &/or Evija?
Tried using that car in forza. Horrible.
@@ericpeterson541 so?
@@ericpeterson541 that's the most unrealistic racing game none to man 😂
@@Maniac5455 being sarcastic
Regardless of BOP the design is taking every opportunity within the design criteria, beautiful.
Really pretty car

Teams won't never show LMH's it's strange they shown LMDH

@@K9RacingAndStuff probably but LMH Is another thing,and they don't wanna show them
Fantastic episode!
Can you do one on the acura arx?
3:36 which book is that? I remember a very similar idea being used by the Nissan GTP team but I would love to get the source for that drawing and pictures
That's why I love my job
Excellent video! 👍
Now I hope the multimatic mustang gt3 can get up to speed before ford lobbies for a bop that drags the entire field down.
Already received that, watch Sebring BOP😢😢😢
Shouldn't the weak car get a power boost or a weight decrease? Lowering the speed of the whole grid just makes the racing worse.

6:06 that...now that is the takeaway of this video
I have the Lego speed champions set of this car

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles face lookalike 😉
963 is a Bop winner.
Am pretty sure Ferrari or Toyota would have won the first Wec race if it wasn't for the massive ballast they carried.

Always great analysis
Shame that whatever progress/idea, etc get's bogged down by BOP

If you remove BOP LMDH'S Wouldn't keep up with LMH's you do you 😂😂
