F1 Racing's 2020 projection - Click above for high-res images
Think of what a future F1 race car might look like and you're likely to conjure up images similar to the Red Bull X1 prototype. But the fact is, in all likelihood, an F1 car nine years from now will look much like the ones they see today. After all, how radically different are contemporary F1 racers from the ones they saw a decade ago?you can expect some significant changes to come in to effect, though, over the approaching decade, as the sport grapples with finding the sweet-spot in terms of spectacle, environmental friendliness and the like. Speaking with Renault F1 designer Pat Symonds, F1 Racing journal came up with their projection. It takes in to account such anticipated features as low-profile tires on larger wheels, ground-effect aerodynamics returning to replace the downforce reduced by the standardized rear wing and a beefier Kintetic Energy Recovery method cool for a 250 horsepower boost.
Of coursework all these projections could show way off by the time 2020 rolls around, but they could show spot on. We'll must keep watching to find out. meanwhile you can see the only one images which the publication has released, or head to the newsstand to see more.
