@mariohomohhere you are mate! Nice to see you!
Yeah totally agree! Let's see if new era will bring something good to us too...after all we are not asking for porpoising lol! Just a more reasonable setup panel and small improvements in physics! P. S. A front wing that would generate less downforce than the rear one would be nice as well!
The front wing in game now generates less downforce than the rear wing, but is more efficient than the rear wing. Rear wing generates more downforce than the front, but also generates a lot more drag than the front wing.
I can give you an estimation;
a 50 front wing gives you ~ 400 kg of downforce at 300kph.
A 50 rear wing gives you ~ 600 kg of downforce at 300kph.
A 50 front wing gives you ~ 110 kg of resistance at 300kph.
A 50 rear wing gives you ~ 270 kg of resistance at 300kph.
The body and floor give you roughly 2000kg of downforce at 300kph at lowest ride height b4 it stalls a little.
Divide the downforce by the resistance of the wings and you'll see how much more efficient is the front wing compared to the rear wing.
Note: I gave you an approximation of the maximum values, and the function is not linear, meaning the efficiency will always be different at every single setting.
@DavidG53 just found this post you sent three months ago, thanks for sharing such interesting details!
Could you give us some more examples of downforce and resistance values at different speeds?
Especially interested how much wings have effect in low speed and mid speed. Of which I guess in low speed wings doesn't have much downforce, and that the mid speed efficiency is surprisingly close to the high speed efficiency?
Much appreciated.
