Sauber C30 / Heritage HF1-018. Warning: F1 Car Content :)
Discussion
Well what a weekend. Firstly sorry Foggy for missing your message!
Silverstone Classic was the first run of the HF1-018 with our latest tweeks completed. This was mainly aero balance work, next up is a bit of engine development so we can turn the boost up further
with the next stages of dev coming thick and fast over the coming weeks. As always the car ran faultlessly and the weather was incredible all weekend!
We had the absolute pleasure of having Oli Webb driving the car on Friday and Jess Hawkins on the Saturday. Both did an amazing job and loved the car, even running medium boost the car was more than capable of going past everything out there and sticking with the V12 Ferrari monster down the straights - just goes to show how much aero efficiency improved over 20 years when a 250bhp advantage isn't enough to pull away
The cars incredibly stable on circuit and access to the Pirelli tyre is really helping us pull big cornering G!
Love the heat haze in this shot. Track temp wasn't far off the levels we had at BGP!
The JPS livery works so well! We are really over the moon with how well it turned out.
May need a touch more anti-dive....
The fact that it looks like this, goes like it does and yet can go from truck to circuit in less than 30 minutes is an incredible achievement by all involved!
This car continues to absolutely blow me away with how fast it is and the next stages of development are only going to improve that. Expect some 4 post ring and wind tunnel photos shortly
Massive thanks to https://www.spritephotography.co.uk/ for the incredible pics from the Classic!

When I win the euro-millions tonight, can i post an offer for the car on here...

Well development is pushing on and we are nearing a very decent package with the HF1-018, as what is essentially the development car which several more will be based on we are on a pretty serious development path with all aspects of the car under revision. As always building something is only the start of the work.
Earlier this week we popped to see our pals at Multimatic and carried out some further suspension development with the aim of working the rears a little harder and seeing just how good our Pirelli option was:
The upgrades to the rig made earlier this year have resulted in an even more amazing setup and I'm very happy to report the coffee machine is still spot on
43 runs later we had a new setup for low downforce and a new setup for high downforce along with some new hot TPs to try.
TDF / Heritage development driver Jess Hawkins fired some laps in this afternoon and we've found over a second around our very short test circuit so rig time well spent!
Next up is to optimise the gear ratios we are running and add some DRS to proceedings!
