I had a Neuhaus retailer in DC when I lived there, they had pretty decent (if overpriced) belgian chocolates.

FFS what is not interesting about a team pushing their motor so hard to try and get the win that it explodes?Norns posted:Hershey's is disgusting cuz they have an additive in it that makes it taste like puke stop eating puke?

1500quidporsche posted:The fuel flow thing is literally the best idea they've had for organically managing engine power levels in decades. The fact that thermal efficiency for these engines has gradually climbed above 50% shows that it's working while still encouraging development. I don't want to disagree with this. I just want them to increase the limit. Give the cars more power. How did they decide that this current level is "enough" in what's supposed to be the most exciting car race series in the world. Why not increase, even by like 5% a year and see where that takes us? It won't result in immediate monster uncontrollable cars, or too-fast-to-corner-safely issues, or grenades-on-wheels. Actually, now I think that this is a genius idea. Why aren't we doing this? F1 can claim "more power, faster cars!" every year, and can plan ahead to at least a few years of steady increases before they have to pull it back a bit. Let's make this happen, worst thread! Hell, give teams the option during qualifying to use 110% of the limit for the race. In any case, sitting at this "safe" level is boring as gently caress. Feels Villeneuve posted:Nobody is talking about "enforcing parity through attrition". Plot twist... for every race you win, you MUST increase the output of your engine 10%. The next race that you don't win, it goes back to baseline.

We're already breaking lap records every second race and these things are above 1000bhp in qualifying. Exactly how much more power do you want?

As I understand it, the problem is not the fuel flow limit, it’s the weight of the fuel. More powerful engines that require more fuel would also require so much added weight in fuel that the power gains would be cancelled out. You’d have to bring back refueling, which doesn’t sound like a terrible idea now that Massa is gone.

I guess if there was a real breakthrough in combustion or fuel technology it might, but even then F1 can't even pretend to be about consumer anything if they re-allow refueling.

Still think you should be allowed to run HCCI or any other weird ignition system if you want to.

The fact that Merc is claiming a 60-65% thermal efficiency is insane in and of itself.

wicka posted:It’s weird that they outright ban things that could actually help with producing more efficient road engines. In fairness, I'm pretty sure they weren't expecting TJI to become a thing and thought most the development would be around MGU-H efficiencies. When you look at the original development lock out dates I'm pretty sure like 95% of the ICE was to be homologated by next year. Mandating poo poo like spark plugs is really part of the issue though, if you can get a petrol engine to run without one there's no reason you shouldn't be allowed to. E: I'd have to look but I'm pretty sure the rules are as explicit as requiring one spark per detonation event, like Jesus loving Christ are they that petrified of a loophole being found.

Give the cars more power until they become either unstable or unmanageable. And then in the case of the latter, get better drivers.

1500quidporsche posted:Let's say we go with your solution. The focus is just going to be on driving a ram air effect and rising the system pressure to overcome the throttle restriction. You put a blow off valve on it and then the thought turns to okay how do I get it to burn richer so there's more energy in the combustion chamber on detonation. Out of interest: couldn't you limit the air ram effect by reducing the allowed diameter of the air intake, like it is done in some series? This wouldn't work for turbos, I suppose, only for naturally aspirated engines, or am I wrong?

You could straight up reverse it, but then you probably end up getting guys playing around with pulse tuning like with two stroke exhausts to get the pressure back up.

This is all moot because the fuckers at Liberty and Fia already spoke about the 3 engine rules. Mercedes is going to dominate because they already have the best one

Yeah Renault and Honda engines blowing up every weekend back in 2015 really wasn't enough of a canery in the coal mine to require a change when they didn't need the consent of all teams.
