Aston Martin AMR26

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

We haven't seen a DRS actuator like this before.

Looks like those 'wings' either side of the metal rod would shed vortexes onto the wing.

I don't think they are vgs. I think the tuning fork is just a way to have a coincident rotation axis for the two arms of the linkage.

Huge angle of attack on the first flap but the mainplane is very flat

The wiring harness is in the way for a proper look, but do you think that is a straight connection from charge cooler to inlet manifold?

In which case, as the airbox does not appear to be spilt into different sections, where is the turbo being fed from.

The Aston Martin has a working front wing active aero. It was just shown on the broadcast into T1. It works.

Excellent, thanks.

--fancy rockers/bellcranks
--two heave devices?
--the rearmost heave device has an airfoil shroud
--wastegate entry is visible on the tailpipe
--AMR with different weldment arrangements for their intercooler, compared to RBR (in house or supplier item?)
--they don't bother with ubiquitous divided roll hoop, instead split the ducts downstream from a single shared snorkel inlet

Seems to have a "sleeve" thermal barrier on exhaust tail pipe, you can see the beginning of it aft of where the waste gate outlet joins main exhaust.

That's for you to look at mzso :D

I saw it. Flap was down on the straight into T1. Then it came up in the brake zone. It's there and it works.
