Technical director Geoff Willis described the particularly low, small
and less powerful 2006 design as 'strange.'

He added: "In some ways (it's) more like a MotoGP engine than an actual
F1 V10."

The back of the car seems to have completely disappeared, so it
looks a bit like a 4 wheel motorbike too.

It's 4 seconds a lap off the pace of this years machine, which will
take at least until 2010 to regain I'd imagine.
Hell, it's as slow as a Minardi! 8]

No, it's about 1.5s a lap faster than a Minardi. :-)­

Yes, I found and re-read the article. Sorry for the mis-statement.

 The new 2.4 litre engine should be some 20% down on power compared to
current V10. But it must be lighter with lower centre of gravity, possibly
enabling the whole car to have a better balance. With further advancements
to engine, I wouldn't be surprised if new cars match current laptimes within
a year or two.

Cosworth's 2.4 is apparently putting out over 820bhp - the 2.4s rev a
lot higher than the 3.0s (presumably because things like the crank are a
lot lighter and the block is probably stiffer. I'd hazard a guess that
the engine is very different to a 'sawn-off' V10 and that Cosworth have
probably made some interesting optimizations to the breathing
arrangements - after all even the 10 cylinder engines are physically
tiny, I'm sure some of the space gained by lopping two cylinders off can
be 'wasted' in a slightly longer block (remember the '06 rules call for
a heavy engine!) that gives you space to put a head with better porting
on...

So at the moment it's more like a 10% drop in horsepower. Pretty
impressive. At the current 'escalation rate' I reckon we'll be back to
900bhp by the middle of '07. Factor in aero and tyre improvements and I
think apart from the sound(!) there will be very little difference in lap
times by the late summer of '06.

Not neccesarily, it will have a minimum weight and minimum centre of gravity
plus additional material restrictions to make it cheaper and posssible to
last a larger number of races.

Is it that clear-cut a difference? My assumption always was that the > engine with smaller pistons could run higher RPM (more horsepower) but > suffered with lack of torque (see some of the Ferrari V-12 vs Benetton > V-8 battles). If this inherent in the engine layout or by design, I > don't know.

The V12 revs higher with the same materials because it has no
cyclic vibration that needs damped, and so has no counterweights or
balance rods: strait 6's are naturally balanced, and melding two of them
at 60 degrees just makes everything smoother.
Higher revs then makes for more power at the same displacement.

V8's simply need less metal to contain the same displacement, and
so are lighter. They also need internal counterweights, and so can't rev
quite as high. Bigger cylinders naturally make for smoother power
curves, or so I read.
It's apparently quite the trick to produce a nice smooth power
curve in a naturally aspirated engine at those sorts of revs, so any
help would be appreciated I suppose.

Would the V-10 be a compromise position on this, or is fuel efficiency> greatly affected by the piston size / firing order? (or some other> factor I have never heard of?)

It looks like it was a comprimise. Very tricky to force balance
into a V10, but doable with late '80's (CAD) technology. After that it
came down to what best matched the regs of the time.

I don't know why it beat the V8 on fuel efficiency. Perhaps that
the classic V8 requires relatively heavy internal counterweights, that
while much easier to design (1930's vs 1980's) end up costing you.
Hmm. Those counterweights also add rotational inertia, which cuts
back your gear change speed and stuff, and must slightly slow
acceleration. That'll be why the 2006 ones are avoiding the classic layout.

Perhaps, but they had to carry full fuel then, and lots of it, so
any differance would have been quite pronounced early in the race. What
might have been most important at that was the proportion of available
energy the engine could draw from the fuel.
The 3.0 normally aspirated V10 clearly won the fight anyway, and
they've been regulated to stick with them ever since.

The regulation only happened when certain teams had found the ways to
make superior V-12s again.

Regulated heavier.
with lower centre of gravity,

Regulated higher.
possibly enabling the whole car to have a better balance.

IRL, with gasoline.

Power may be similar, but the weight and CG issues are going to make
them handle like rear-engined Beetles.

If you believe that, why not tell me the "facts"? What exactly was
"superior" about the Type 044/1?

...Whose argument is that?

Ferrari and Toyota were testing new V-12 designs, the BMIA put a stop
to it. You could look it up, but you'd rather be a chimp.
