When Formula 1 Had MASSIVE TURBOS

Рет қаралды 733,650

Күн бұрын

This Formula 1 car has 1400 horsepower, that’s 400 MORE than the F1 cars of today.
It was all about engineers pushing machines beyond the limits of technlogy at the time, creating MONSTERS.
But they had one main issue, they LOVED to blow up.
Turbos rocked up in Formula 1 out of nowhere - let me explain. Since 1966 you were allowed to create engines in any format - as long as it was a maximum of 3 litre capacity.
And teams ran all sorts of engines, flat 4s, inline 4s, V6s, V8s, V16s - the lot.
But there was one rule they ignored. You were allowed ‘forced induction’ engines, but they had to be less than 1.5 litres in capacity.
So they WERE allowed turbos and superchargers. But nobody ran them.
You will know the magic a turbo can bring for performance already, it’s likely your road car will have a turbo. They are everywhere.
And it’s not like they weren’t popular back in the 60s and 70s either. There were road cars like the Oldsmobile Cutlass Jetfire and Chevrolet Corvair Monza Spyder were both turbocharged. And it was VERY common in the aerospace industry too.
But all of the teams elected for the simpler, and lighter format of the 3-litre, naturally aspirated engines. Many were using the Ford Cosworth DFV engine - that soon became an ICON in Formula 1. It was light, powerful, reliable and most importantly CHEAP.

In Adrian Newey's book he comments that all this power meant that teams didn't worry too much about aero - they could stick a big wing on and power through. You can kinda tell from the looks of a lot of the cars. But when turbos went it set the stage for aero developments to take over.

My friend was turbo technician / engineer for Lotus in that era. He said Senna insisted on getting a fresh turbo for his last ultimate qualifying lap in the session, so they developed a procedure to swap the turbo on a hot engine during the session in the pits. Amazing to think of them replacing 1000° turbos and sending him back out in just minutes. It’s all in the margins. Always has been in F1.

Not only did using excess fuel cool the turbo for more power, but it could also be used to help eliminate turbo lag. Ferrari were the first to really capitalise on this (as far as I'm aware) midway through 1981 by combusting fuel INSIDE their turbo compressor to keep it spinning even when off throttle and reduce lag. Another big thing to note was that when McLaren were running their TAG-Porsche engine (late 1983-1987), they didn't run special qualifying engines like the other top teams. They'd turn up the qualifying boost pressure, but the likes of Renault (and their customer Lotus), BMW (with Brabham and later Benetton) and Honda with Williams would all run totally new engine blocks which were essentially disposable just for qualifying and could turn up the boost even higher as a result. It was therefore actually quite rare to see the McLaren-TAGs right up at the front in qualifying, even in 1984 where the car was truly dominant in races since in quali they were always at least 100 horsepower down on their main rivals. They made up for it however in race with their excellent engine management system provided by Bosch, solid reliability (though this began to waver especially in 1987 as it became clear that the engine was losing competitiveness, driving them to push it harder for more performance) and very solid power in race trim (since they ran less quali boost, this also meant they lost less power compared to their rivals going from quali to the race) One last minor thing, but the pictures you showed of the F1 car you drove around 4:40 were of the non-turbo Lotus 91 from 1982.

@IntelligentFerret2822 2 ай бұрын

my mum has a turbo vw beetle with nearly 2.3 bar of boost (somehow) and she had no idea that it had it until about 4 months ago, when she mentioned not having much power when she didn't give it much throttle, but when she pressed on it a little bit more, after about a second she had a lot more power. she told this to my dad, who knows a LOT about cars (probably because he is a part-time mechanic.) and he didn't know either. they both had no clue what was going on until I (being 14 and having an obsession with F1 and WRC) mentioned the fact that it had a turbo and was having turbo lag from it's little inline 4. Good times.

Excess fuel is also used in piston airplane engines, when you operate in high power mode, the fuel system adds ca 10% more fuel than it is necessary because most full power use happens during climb - when you are slower and less air passes through the air-cooled engine to cool it down :)

Do that in 99% of Lycos or Contis in ordinary planes and you will be glad to fly straight at that altitude :). I was mentioning the feature of many aircraft engines where the current mixture is enriched even more if you are at or very near the full throttle.

He briefly alluded to them at the end without naming them, but the pop-off valves were hilarious, the sound they made

Ford Benetton -88 with full power (qualifying power) did 0-402 m in 6.7 S and 270 km/h. It´s very impressive.

Senna & the rest...it's like they all had a special feel for those machines...crazy talent...back then with no kind of safety...no abs & traction control...wild era.

Epic video, even though the outro was cut ("in the next one")

Driving these things seems similar to race drivers talking about rs 500 sierras saying the turbo came on like a light switch and a lot of good drivers ended up facing the wrong way as the turbo came on

As a racing driver, Scott wrung out milliseconds off of the laptime. As a KZfaqr, Scott struggles to push the video duration past the ten minute barrier.

this question might have asked before here but how f1 drivers hydrate while driving, i know there is this tube that connects to the helmet but where they keep liquid that drivers drink mid race?

"I'll catch you!" Is that a threat? I don't know whether to be excited or not.

I only drove an old Porsche 911 Turbo. Boy, widow maker is quite the feeling you get, when you get hit by the power in a curve when it’s raining. 😅

If I remember right Nelson Piquet used to wait till the car was in the middle of the road before giving it full berries (with full quolifying boost)

I can recall Senna screaming around Adelaide with Mansell. Deafening turbo was the era. Almost everyone had earplugs.

The heat issues would be caused from running to lean (less fuel to air ratio) once they added more fuel and make it more rich (more fuel to air ratio) it wouldn't melt pistons. We didn't have oxygen sensors for our exhaust yet so it was certainly a trial and error for them to get it right.

I didn't think KZfaq allowed pornography! 😱😆 Damn! I miss the turbo era! Listening to Senna go round the outside of Prost blat-blat-blat-blat-Hoooooowl!
