You’re very probably quite right Herr Koos! I was simply venting off frustration. I too shall watch at least the first two or three races but if I don’t see a car, or cars, that can be raced by some degree of talent, that will be that for me.Herr_Koos wrote: ↑17 Feb 2022, 20:32Personally I think it's premature to make that sort of judgement until we've watched a few races. Far from producing spec cars, we've seen incredibly interesting design variations, and I suspect the actual RB18 will feature yet more unique solutions to discuss. The cars look much better to me than I thought they would, and can't wait to see them on track.Slo Poke wrote: ↑17 Feb 2022, 17:45My only excuse Rikhart is wishful thinking. Personally I consider the 2022 cars to be insanely ugly, illogical, dysfunctional and anything else you can think of, to throw at them! The fool things are nothing short of an insult to what formula one teams and their car designers have been producing for decades and on which rests the culminated excitement of last year’s racing. All of which is about to be basically binned because of one very stupid person’s ridiculously stupid effort to improve overtaking. If the car behind is having trouble maintaining front downforce improve the downforce of that car, for instance, all cars! Simply put the front wings behind the front wheels adjustabley mounted on carbon fibre box beams attached mid-way between the front wheels. That, to me would make sense. Aesthetically, less debris, concentrated air off the inside front wheel on turn-in, improved ground effect control and something to latch a VG on.
