So i was reading in RACECAR ENGINEERING and there was an article about the Renault V6 engine for 2014.
In that article they said that for 2014, the downforce levels of the cars will be Monza levels at Monaco.
So this would be the high downforce package sort of. I´m not sure if they will run lower at other tracks keep the package the same throughout the year and simply slap on as much as you can.
This is great news for many reasons.
One is cars will be less dependent on aero, exhaust will not be able to be used as blowing the diffuser.
They will be centralized bit like GP2 i think (could be another series, will check after i´m done writing)
And because there´s less aero, there´s less air getting thrown up in the air which means less dirty air which in turns means closer racing in corners which means easier to overtake at the end of the straight.
In theory at least.
I honestly can´t wait. I also believe that less aero allows really good drivers to make more of a difference as the cars probably will be geared a little more with mechincal grip etc.
