There is no shortage of downforce either - the wing, the spoilers, and the huge diffuser are generating 1.8 tons of downforce at 320 km/h. lift coefficient still far from the expected. this is a model developed by another user only partially fixed to perform CFD simulations. 1825 horsepower and 1240 kg equates to an incredible 1.5 hp/kg power-to-weight ratio, which is better than almost anything else, including LMP1 and Formula 1! What is the theoretical limit for the minimum aero drag in a modern car? I would like to find out how fuel efficient F1 and LMP1 cars are in comparison and how engine and aero specs contribute to the differences. Dernière édition: 23/6/18. 1 M. Membre supprimé 1292. NB : ça m'a pris 5' de trouver l'info en tapant "LMP1 drag coefficient" dans Google. I was just wondering how downforce levels compare between an F1 car and an LMP1 car. speed is 100 m/s. If the damping coefficient is too low, control over the wheel is lost as this energy is not sufficiently absorbed. As the wheel travels over a bump, low damping can lead to the tyre completely leaving the track surface. So how close are LMP1s to the downforce levels of F1 cars? Also I understand that as these cars are tuned to race at LeMans, low downforce is important and will reflect in their aero package. The timed section through Maggots to Chapel was 8,66s for the F1 vs. 10,13s for the LMP1 car, a difference of 17,0%. further improvements of surface definition welcomed. The drag coefficient Cd is equal to the drag D divided by the quantity: density r times half … Rear spring and damper arrangement on a modern LMP1 Car. The f1 car did the lap in 1:29,607 and the lap of the LMP1 Audi was 1:44,655, the Audi was 16,8% slower over the whole lap. The drag coefficient is a number that aerodynamicists use to model all of the complex dependencies of shape, inclination, and flow conditions on aircraft drag.This equation is simply a rearrangement of the drag equation where we solve for the drag coefficient in terms of the other variables. drag coefficient turns out to be reasonable. but lets consider what sucks about camera mirrors. The total drag is a function of both the shape of the airfoil (profile drag) and the square of the lift coefficient (lift-induced drag) which gives rise to the exponential drag rise as one approaches high angles of attack. mostly, and most certainly, race rules. 23/6/18 #174 Édifiant. I have limited knowledge on LMP1s, but I understand there is emphasis on 'ground affect' and underbody aero. downforce to drag coefficient; weight; tyres; Some of the stuff I can find myself but certainly not all. LMP1 hypercar regulations revealed including success ballast
