Still with sidepod air-air intercoolers?
Maybe for ancillary units other than turbo Intercooler?Blackout wrote: ↑01 Mar 2023, 19:15Still with sidepod air-air intercoolers?

McLaren has Marelli as a partner who supplies them the entire cooling system including the air to air intercoolers.Blackout wrote: ↑01 Mar 2023, 19:15Still with sidepod air-air intercoolers?

Judging by the sloppy cable routing, they have some temporary thermocouples (typically green wires) on the cooling for data logging (visible below the radiators)organic wrote: ↑02 Mar 2023, 11:26https://imgr1.auto-motor-und-sport.de/M ... 980501.jpg
Decent view of the McLaren floor & cooling
Lower tunnels speed up the air more, reducing the pressure and increasing downforce. Too low, and you get really violent bouncing, as Mercedes discovered the hard way last year.
It’s a balancing act, in F1 they have intake throat and diffuser size restrictions. This means they need to find the optimal tunnel size/height for those restrictions.
Still air-air interesting…organic wrote:
