DISKUZE K ČLÁNKU McLaren řeší nejen chlazení uvnitř vozu. Jak vážné jsou jeho problémy?

Už jen proto, aby v testech mohli testovat a ne stát v garáži. Ale má to samozřejmě i jiné přínosy.

One of the areas that Mercedes got the jump on its rivals in the lead up to the hybrid era was the adoption of a chassis dynomometer, enabling them to understand the behaviour of the power unit whilst installed in the chassis.

Ferrari, Renault and Honda continued to plug away with their standard dynos, but we understand that at least Ferrari and Red Bull
now have their own chassis dynomometers, allowing them to dynamically simulate the power unit's behaviour.

It’s understood that Renault’s updated power unit was signed off once fitted to the Red Bull chassis dyno, as Renault doesn't have space for its own at its factory in Viry.

It is also believed that, while the Mercedes and Ferrari chassis dyno is software-based, Red Bull has renewed its simulator in order that it be linked to the chassis dyno next door, with inputs created by the drivers truly putting them ‘in-loop’ and giving an even more accurate model of how the energy recovery and brake-by-wire systems can be utilised throughout a lap for each driver.
