The very interesting other side of dirtpusher. Nice video thank you for sharing.
I will watch it and several others, will be great for many breaks.
Thanks again

Off topic: I never was sure how serious Sig. Ferrari was with that saying you quote in your tagline. He couldn't have been dim enough to not understand that whatever engine he built would be more effective in a 'slipperier' car than in a 'draggier' one.

Although I have seen this quote from several sources , it has probably been used out of context? He definitely was of the old school of car builders and if you look at earlier F-1 cars aerodynamics didn't seem a major concern . Anyway, I just like the quote. And I love the train layout.

I don't know, one way or the other. He could have been dead serious. And I was probably overstating things saying that he couldn't have so dim. There are other reasons that bright people don't necessarily see advantages to doing things differently from the way they had been done in the past.

Here is the late 1950s Ferrari 246 F-1 car, surely one of the most beautiful Formula 1 cars of all time. It looks like Ferrari need Enzo back as their F-1 effort this year was less then stellar .

Gorgeous machine and I don't see anything terrible about its aerodynamics.

Too much body lift at higher speed, nose forces to much air under car. Still nice machine.

Which would definitely hinder getting the best use out of Sig. Ferrari's engines, wouldn't it? These days, racecar aerodynamics is at least as much about generating 'downforce' as it is about parting the air cleanly. In fact, a design which does the first well is going to not do as good a job of the second as a design that is optimized solely for the second.

Yes they hug the track/road better than the older design. The older designs are so sweet and individualized that I do like them better.

There was something about those old wheeled torpedoes.

Wind tunnel? What is that? If you think about it, those older cars had little down force, small tires and yet they went well in their days. Those were cars that had to be driven, often by brute force, but it was glorious racing.
