In Adrian Newey's book he comments that all this power meant that teams didn't worry too much about aero - they could stick a big wing on and power through. You can kinda tell from the looks of a lot of the cars. But when turbos went it set the stage for aero developments to take over.

My friend was turbo technician / engineer for Lotus in that era. He said Senna insisted on getting a fresh turbo for his last ultimate qualifying lap in the session, so they developed a procedure to swap the turbo on a hot engine during the session in the pits. Amazing to think of them replacing 1000° turbos and sending him back out in just minutes. It’s all in the margins. Always has been in F1.

After it blew up every other race they went and asked their jet engine department for help. Now it's more of a "snail" turbo, but I would love to see the complexity of it...

my mum has a turbo vw beetle with nearly 2.3 bar of boost (somehow) and she had no idea that it had it until about 4 months ago, when she mentioned not having much power when she didn't give it much throttle, but when she pressed on it a little bit more, after about a second she had a lot more power. she told this to my dad, who knows a LOT about cars (probably because he is a part-time mechanic.) and he didn't know either. they both had no clue what was going on until I (being 14 and having an obsession with F1 and WRC) mentioned the fact that it had a turbo and was having turbo lag from it's little inline 4. Good times.

One thing you need to also remember is, they were pushing 1k+ horsepower in a car that had very basic steering/gearing so it was a major handful to drive these things. They were brutes, like bucking bronco's. Absolutely LOVE the early to mid 80's cars.

Thanks for that video Driver 61! Everytime good stories from that era. It's incredible how much infos and films I didn't see from that time. Good that you are here to show us.

Not only did using excess fuel cool the turbo for more power, but it could also be used to help eliminate turbo lag. Ferrari were the first to really capitalise on this (as far as I'm aware) midway through 1981 by combusting fuel INSIDE their turbo compressor to keep it spinning even when off throttle and reduce lag. Another big thing to note was that when McLaren were running their TAG-Porsche engine (late 1983-1987), they didn't run special qualifying engines like the other top teams. They'd turn up the qualifying boost pressure, but the likes of Renault (and their customer Lotus), BMW (with Brabham and later Benetton) and Honda with Williams would all run totally new engine blocks which were essentially disposable just for qualifying and could turn up the boost even higher as a result. It was therefore actually quite rare to see the McLaren-TAGs right up at the front in qualifying, even in 1984 where the car was truly dominant in races since in quali they were always at least 100 horsepower down on their main rivals. They made up for it however in race with their excellent engine management system provided by Bosch, solid reliability (though this began to waver especially in 1987 as it became clear that the engine was losing competitiveness, driving them to push it harder for more performance) and very solid power in race trim (since they ran less quali boost, this also meant they lost less power compared to their rivals going from quali to the race) One last minor thing, but the pictures you showed of the F1 car you drove around 4:40 were of the non-turbo Lotus 91 from 1982.

I owned a 1962 Oldsmobile Jetfire back in the late 1970's that I bought from the original owner. I remember having to check a fluid it used called "Jetfire Turbo-Rocket Fluid. Yes TURBO. It was the first American car with a TURBO. It ran good, but when gas was being rationed it was a pain. The car averaged 9 MPG so it was not to great when I had to ride 47 miles each way to and from work each day. I sold it to get a more economical car with better MPG.

I was under the impression that most who were there during the turbo period of F1 agreed that the Honda engines were the most powerful and that the qualifying engines were making around 1400 hp, while the race engines were more like 8-900.

They were THE HEROS of my youth. Saw the BMW engine some 30 years ago at the fair. This Turbo was really big!

Good to see some footage of the Benetton shown at our local track. The Benetton raced against a McLaren M8F Can-Am car. Both cars broke the outright lap record on the last lap. The Benetton had a small off resulting in the McLaren winning by under a second

I did a lot of practice in simulator until finally I managed to deal with that turbo lag. It was annoying first but now it is quite fun. In the end I do something similar to what Senna did, popping throttle to keep revs high without spinning before exiting slow corners. And that works great with weak karts too.
