The DW has a top speed of 250mph. I said lap at 230mph. That means your average speed around the track . High downforce single seater do 227 through the turns. Low downforce DW won't do 200 throgh the turns so it won't lap as fast. Anyone in any university in any country should be able to comprehend this. The DW will just not put on a spectacular SHOW , which is what races should be. Loud, fast and beatiful. The DW doesn't have loud or beatiful,and I don't believe it would be fast.It Looks like a fighter jet for dwarves(including their unusual proportions)Scania wrote:DW can go 250mph, or you can put a V8 on it to hit 300mph if you like.Pierce89 wrote:Americans want big power awsome sound and to see cars get sideways and twitchy.
The DW doesn't tick any of those boxes. The theoretical physics and dynamis are all the opposite of what makes an extreme beast of car. Indy cars are supposed to be powerful ,hard to control, extreme badass beasts with big power and big downforce. I'd like to see Indy quali go back up over 230mph.
DW's Down force-Weight ratio is near to the curren Indy car, so it still got enough down force.Pierce89 wrote:The DW has a top speed of 250mph. I said lap at 230mph.

No one said indy needed V8s just over 650bhpdjos wrote:Re: V8's, History has shown here in Aus that great race & road cars can have 6 cylinders too (R32 Nissan GT-R aka Godzilla, Chrysler Charger, Torana XU6, Berlina Turbo, Falcon XR6 Turbo etc) and now with some of the new US cars having twin turbo V6's with V8 Power levels (eg Taurus SHO) I have no doubt that US race fans can and will appreciate great 6cylinder road and Race cars too.
Agreed, just mentioning that 6cyls get decent respect too.Pierce89 wrote:No one said indy needed V8s just over 650bhpdjos wrote:Re: V8's, History has shown here in Aus that great race & road cars can have 6 cylinders too (R32 Nissan GT-R aka Godzilla, Chrysler Charger, Torana XU6, Berlina Turbo, Falcon XR6 Turbo etc) and now with some of the new US cars having twin turbo V6's with V8 Power levels (eg Taurus SHO) I have no doubt that US race fans can and will appreciate great 6cylinder road and Race cars too.
Hybrids make up less than 2% of the annual car sales. And while small(er) cars are beginning to increase in popularity, they are still down in the list compared to the midsize car,SUV and truck segments.Scania wrote:US need low power engine & you should. US is the country which make most CO2/person in the world, and the oil go more & more expensive, lets forget the hummer, forget the big size, low efficiency, black smoke and high power but out of proportion of their fuel consumption engine.
what car is most popular in US? not Hummer, not jeep, not V8 engine, not mustant it is hybrid car and small car.
don't make motorsports far away to the real world or it will be foul, racing must always keep relationship with road car.
Nothing on track yet. This is the latest I've heard:CMSMJ1 wrote:The DW car - does it exist? Have we got any footage or laptimes?
