Stroll fucked up, but honestly, looking at how close everyone else got to the gearbox of the car in front of them going into the corner, I don’t think it’s inexcusable.
Is this going to be like Seb’s motorcycle ride?
Yes, but its important that there is information available to maintainers about the pros/cons of mechanisms available, so that they are able to make informed choices about the platforms that they use and influence others to use. Hence the article.
They’re pretty standard parts so don’t feel like you need to go with Fantech in particular, feel a little like I accidentally shilled for them a bit, just happened to be on their website (AFAIK they do make good stuff though). Glad that it helped and best of luck :)
The simplest thing would be a pressure or airflow sensor hard-wired to the switch for the hood itself.
Also consider instead of a 1 way valve installing a damper that only opens when your range good is turned on.
That’d be a little weird for non-works teams. You’d have the dominant works teams optimizing engines for a certain mass air flow/fuel flow and that’d have downstream consequences for the customer teams.
I just want one race a season with the whole grid in spec cars, better still do the sprints in a spec car so that even the team strategy/pit crews are neutralized somewhat. Imagine Verstappen vs Alonso vs Hamilton in equal machinery.
It’ll never happen, but I can dream.
