When Formula One First Used Ground Effect
Спорт
Formula One has entered a new era in 2022. The cars have been transformed in order to take advantage of an aerodynamic phenomenon known as ground effect. This relatively old technology has proved challenging for the teams and drivers to adjust to, and the phenomenon of ‘porpoising’ has come back into the public consciousness. The use of ground effect on these cars however pales in comparison to those of the past. Ground effect was used for the first time over 40 years ago, kickstarting the aerodynamic revolution in Formula One. Compared to today however, it was used to such a degree that the cars generated virtually all their downforce from underneath, and after significantly increasing the speed of the cars, it was eventually banned on safety grounds, with flat-bottomed cars being the norm for the next 39 years. So, let’s look at the first time Formula One used ground effect.

The Lotus 79, the most beautiful F1 car ever created.
The fact that you not even have a 1000 subscribers is beyond me. Absolutely love your insights and well constructed mini-documentaries! Keep up the good work :)

I literally thought that this was a famous F1 channel because of the quality of the video. Nice work man!
The Arrows A2 is so beautiful 😍
Was skeptical of the video due to low subs, but fuck me, this was great
0:42. Never saw the underside of a McLaren before. Very interesting!
High quality documantary, great job mate
Superb video. I like your voice. Can you do next time group B rally cars?
5:57 i've never seen that picture before, pretty sure that's a bin lid with extra holes and sponsors decals - genius!

It certainly is a standard bin lid. Brabham duct taped it to the fan to stop people peeking. Like any self-respecting F1 team, the bin lid carried Parmalat branding!
great vid! i wonder how fast the fastest f1 cars from the 80s were compared to today´s f1 cars, considering how much lighter they were

There's a video on my to-do list covering that very topic!
I started playing MtG when The Dark was just released. I've left and come back to the game several times through the years. All I can say is I wish there was content like this back when I started. Keep up the great work, and as long as you are true to yourself, you have nothing to worry about.
Brabham couldn't run effective venturi tunnels due to the flat-12 they were running iirc
Brilliant video
Superb video, keep up the great work!
Your channel is one of the most underrated on youtube. Fantastic videos. Have been binging them for 3 days.
Great video. One minor inaccuracy, the reference to 'flexible skirts' is incorrect. They were rigid sliding skirts. After the 6cm rule in 1981, flexible skirts were permitted to touch the road in 1982. Ground effects were banned in November 82.
Brilliant videos! I’m really enjoying your channel - thanks for all the hard work putting these together 👍
I hope this channel grow bigger Btw nc content bro
From what i've heard, the Lotus 88 was not praised as it was difficult to setup, drive and it's aerodynamics didnt work very well. It was banned out of fear of its potential
Nice video. You earn more than the number of subscriptions and views you have now.
Pretty sure Jody Scheckter was the champion in 79.
Given how insanely smooth track surfaces are now and the improvements in driver safety I think they should bring back the skirts and reduce/remove over body aero similar to the 9X8 to get the dirty air issue back to 2022 levels now that the teams are saying following has degraded again this year.
This is interesting I'm going to watch it!
12:43 Just because Colin Chapman called his Lotus 88's bodywork envelope a "secondary chassis", it didn't make it one. That's why it was banned. A nice try but totally illegal. More to the point, why was the 88's bodywork so narrow? Was it because Colin wrote the technical rules for Bernie's mooted breakaway F1 series - the World Federation of Motor Sport? Either way, the 88 was slow, hard to set up and ulimately it ended Lotus's chances of success in '81. Very nice potted history of ground effect.
Thanks thos is a really good update for me...I was to young to remember 70s an 80s F1 racing here in the USA...it got sparratict coverage much to my dismay
the car at 10:12 looks like Luigi's car in Mario kart
Thanks...a lot
Rip gunnar nilson. Really quality driver but never got the ability to live long enough
Too bad the Lotus 88 got banned.
Yeah the only trouble noise glory days are gone because our love for hy technology race cars is being squashed by budget restraints...oh well it just will take longer to get advancements
How u like to drive following those cars dumping weight in the form of water going a 100 around a turn...not to mention visibility when the hits ur visor...dirty pool old man dirty pool
0:45 Wait... wut? After senna's death in 1994, flat bottom cars were banned and a plank was installed under the car that poked out under the floor of the car so that sufficient airflow was kept under the car, if the plank was worn more than 1mm on one of the designated measuring spots, the car would be disqualified.

The bottom was still flat though. The legality plank was just to enforce running higher
