The RB8 exhaust looks as if the gases are very concentrated to one area not yielding as much benefit, while the MB/Sauber solution appears to be a more broad solution benefitting more of the general area but losing some velocity. Clarification would be great
exactly what i was talking about a few pages back... trying to blow a bigger area through the spread of the gasses, at the cost of velocity VS, conentrated and faster velocity...
+1 someone clarify please. At first look, I would think blowing a larger spread area would be of more benefit than one concentrated high velocity area.
It can go either way depending on how you see it and your philosophy when building the car i guess.
Some say, faster velocity = more Downforce(which makes sense and is obvious), that can push the car tighter to the ground. Thats one way of thinking.
The other is, blowing a bigger area at a little less speed will create more downforce over a greater area.
Its impossible to say which is best without being able to see actual data related to the two "philosophies". (if this makes any sense to anyone
)
, but this looks as clear as day to me..im not disputing the black part all the way to the P of Petronas...but perhaps it is heat shielded all the way up there because of the turn in the pipes under the bodywork or even a similar "back-pressure"/chimney setup ferrari were/are running in their exhaust from late 2011? the odd kink in the sidepod from the teaser topview might support this?
