It was used in their brawn gp video and described the part where honda sold the team for a single pound and contributed quite a lot of money for further development which would have been otherwise used for winding down the team.

Yeh basically nothing interesting here at all, which shouldn't surprise me it's what i've come to expect from autosport.

CYMotorsports videos are 100x better than this lol

The loophole was that they could make a hole in the crash structure that allowed them to make a diffuser within a diffuser. The middle bit in the brawn design sped the air up even more meaning more downforce. The bottom line is the car had 2 diffusers. I actually went through the technical regulations to find this for another project. the wierd thing is they didn't actually ban them until 2011 so most of the 2010 cars had them. Hopefully this helps and if someone else comes along to correct me thrn oh well.

Can you make a video Raging?

Or the sneaky loop used to lull us here... ;O)

It wasn't banned It was basically unusable in 2014-now because the v6 turbo hybrids don't produce enough exhaust gasses to power double-diffuser

@@user-jh7tm1kn9l I think the exhaust position has been regulated several times so teams cannot take much advantage of the blown difusser or coanda effect.

@@1312_PV the v6 turbo hybrids do not produce enough exhaust gas TO use the blown diffuser effect

@@user-jh7tm1kn9l During the V8 era exhaust placement was moved at least twice to basically negate blown exhaust effects. The second time, after the teams started to find some advantage while using the Coanda effect to bring the exhaust gases back to the same position. Currently exhaust exit placement is greatly regulated: 1. Exhaust exit has to be 170-185mm behind the rear axle line. With blown exhaust, they were way forward, Lotus Renault was over a meter and a half forward of this line ONLY to take advantage of the blown diffusser. 2. Exhaust pipes have to be placed with their center point offset +-100mm of the centerline of the car. In the past they were at each side, going towards the rear suspension and difuser area. 3. Exhaust exit has to be 300-350mm above the floor. Considering how far back they are, it is already impossible to point them towards the diffusser area. 4. Exhausts have to be circular, no weird shape to channel the air. 5. The final 150mm of tailpipe have to point upwards at an angle of 5 degrees. They used to point them downwards. 6. Bodywork behind the exhausts is greatly restricted, making adding a monkey seat style wing that benefits from the exhaust's gas velocity impossible to fit. Surely less gas can make a difference, but considering that teams gained around two seconds a lap by the use of the blown diffusser I bet they would still love a couple tenths or whatever was left to squeeze with the new engines considered how hard they are to extract.

It’s autosport

@Adrian Matthews No because a diffuser isn't supposed to create dirty air...

@Adrian Matthews Why did they want to reduce the diffusers ? Makes no sense

CYMotorsports videos are 100x better than this lol

This would suggest it was a last minute addition to Toyota and Williams, no?

@@fenhen Possibly, hence the reason they didn't get the maximum from the concept. Even though both had DD, they weren't as ballastic like the brawn.

More like: we just gonna ignore the rules

@@assettodrifters1556 idk what actually is in the Ferrari engine as Binotto said it was closed confidentially as they don't want to release their engine mapping to the other teams but the 2020 engine is promising and puts more speculation because of the slowness of the car

@Matt Horkan same team.

@Matt Horkan mercedes is brawn , its a team that was owned by mercedes and changed its name but all the knowledge and experience of brawn gp members is used now on the silver arrow .

@@LauftFafa Brawn wasn't owned by mercedes. Mercedes bought the team after the 2009 season.

@@Rennie2007 well i meant that , after they purchased them they owned the brawn team .

@@LauftFafa Thats usually how purchasing works :)

Shit isn't it that they pump out these videos and never even bother to really answer the question posed. It's rule changes for nearly every video.

For good

McLaren and Ferrari managed to build them and get them working. That’s why. They were illegal but Mosley gave orders to let them go so McLaren and Ferrari would be set back, it was all political bullshit.

Politics. Same with DAS, incidentally, the same team created both.

simple: politics forefront before innovation

It's chart not shart... :D

Ya, they didn't explain HOW the loophole was exploited. That is what I came here to learn.

just better aero, the covers reduce the drag & turbulance on the wheels

@@aaronfox942 so im guessing they were banned too ?

@@sporehux8344 yep, banned in 2010 for safety reasons after a few instances in the previous year for the covers coming off at high speeds

wheel covers reduce drag thus higher top speed.

Yes he did, the upper diffuser was "not visible from below"

Fia it's actually helping innovation. Banning cool systems it put's those awesome european equipes to invent new systems even better than before you brainlet.

In sports in general there is the rule itself and the intent of the rule. While the wording of the specific section allowed the double diffuser to exist its intent was to limit the section and therefore such trickery were eventually banned. The actual reason behind it is that it gave teams so much performance that the FIA was worried on safety grounds

does it give you some sort of pleasure to come first?

You've come to the wrong place if you find that to be overwhelmingly distracting. It isn't even bad. Technical info for hardcore fans is what this is all about.

@@bassmunk I'm a hardcore fan that wants technical info. But I also care about presentation. Being bored to sleep by it shouldn't be the outcome of this. I'm also a big football fan and interested in the intricacies of it and Tifo Football does know how to present it in an interesting way with their distinctive style. Technical info = good. Presentation = making it fun to watch.

It's nice and clear, also what the hell even is an "actual voice-over artist"?

@@Hieillua The info is interesting and the presentation isn't an issue. Most things in this world could always be better, but this has plenty of visuals and it's not like Ben Stein is talking. This isn't a childrens show or U.S. sensationalized news complete with puns lol The shortcoming isn't the channel...

@@bagged_milk67 They're real. A friend of mine is one for radio commercials. I just don't think it's necessary for this channel in order to keep focused or from "falling asleep". We don't need Sponge Bob presenting this info in order to stay interested lol
