F1 car without technical regulations

Other F1 technical directors have been asked the same question in old issues of Autosport and F1 Racing and their designs look close to Newey's... the only thing missing from the X1 is AWD.

Maybe it'll come out before the PS4 is released.

It'll be out by december, i got my racing wheel and i'm ready to drive that baby all the way to the finish line...that sounds so...lol...

It looks like Newey and Red Bull got a hold of a Caparo and went to town. I approve of this vehicle and wish to hear Richard Hammond's comments on its aesthetics.

all i gotta say is turbine engine = badass.

I wonder what kind of fuel economy it gets compared to a turboed V12.

Turbines are only really competitive to piston engines at basically WOT, he'll just have to keep it floored :twisted:

That's one hell of a range that the CVT will have to go through.

It's quite possibly why they picked a CVT. You just let the turbine sit in its best RPM range and use the transmission to get the right RPM at the wheels.

bingo



i have to wonder if it'd be less expensive to build a car like this than one with all the regs? a lot of the regs are supposed to decrease cost, but what actually happens is someone figures out how to spend more money to get around the reg. the best example is nascar limiting testing time on track... so the moneyed teams build a giant treadmill to put the car on and run it at 180 mph. there's no way that's cheaper than allowing more test time on a track.

or multi million dollar simulators to get around testing limits

Slight delay?!?

The release date was expected to be Friday 27 March 2009. That was 783 days ago! That is over two years later than originally scheduled.

Apparently it was "nearly" done in March this year but Sony wanted PD to add 3D support

Sony decided on October 12th to delay the game just a little bit longer.

The Caparo T1 is exactly what I thought of when seeing this too.

The most recent delay was what I consider a slight delay. Yeah, i understand its still VERY late

^ we still don't have an official "new" date... here's hoping it's not December...
