I love this thread. You mention this is a development car - does that mean you're able to source more F1 cars to build?
It does indeed, HF1-018 is the first of five modern era F1 cars that will be built to a similar spec and made available for competition use or simply as the fastest track day car in the world. poppopbangbang said:

I could have sworn blind lotus were talking about doing that while I was there.andburg said:
what other chassis will be used?
I cant imagine sauber have enough old chassis they are able to sell to meet that demand alone.
Sauber, Marussia and Force India. We originally purchased nine chassis from Sauber but you don't want to be doing the same thing everytime do you I cant imagine sauber have enough old chassis they are able to sell to meet that demand alone.
Following our time at Multimatic last week we're pushing on with track testing and want to do some investigation into what the floor is doing and the heave motion of the car.
Hence lasers:
Which accurately measure the ride height of the vehicle along the centre line whilst the cars in motion. This gives us a live measure of how much ride height loss we have in the car from aero load and coupled with push rod load cells a decent idea of the aero performance of the front and rear wings.
It also doesn't get much cooler than your racing car shining 25mm wide laser lines on the floor from its underbelly

So Donny went well!
Over two seconds found between the first session and the last. Lots more performance still to come by going to the lower drag/downforce front wing option and running some new boots..... oh and turning the boost up as we're still on "low" at the moment
We have a pretty busy development schedule over the coming weeks with new upgrades for IC and air intake coming through. The aim is to set some lap records before the weather turns

Can wait to see more developments on this.
Quick question re intercoolers, which brand of core are you using / will oh be using? What are the best of the best? You hear all about Garrett being good but are there any better ones? I hear the Audi guys use Marton (I think) cores.
We have a stash of older Secan cores and have previously used HS Marston (although they've just pulled the plug on their motorsport/automotive department to focus on aerospace). We're evaluating some options at the moment but the Garrett cores we've used on some other applications have been good, in fact very good for the money but they are heavy! As we generally have good airflow being side pod mounted we don't need the extra thermal mass Quick question re intercoolers, which brand of core are you using / will oh be using? What are the best of the best? You hear all about Garrett being good but are there any better ones? I hear the Audi guys use Marton (I think) cores.

Couple more good ones from the last Donny test:
Currently half way through a massive set of upgrades for the car which will take it forward to what will be our "production" spec for the HF1 program...... this includes an extra half a bar of boost

That's a stunning photo, would make a cool poster.Currently half way through a massive set of upgrades for the car which will take it forward to what will be our "production" spec for the HF1 program...... this includes an extra half a bar of boost
