Brodel Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Formula One cars will sport a radically different look in 2007.At a meeting of the Formula One Commission in London on Monday, team bosses and F1 officials approved a series of new rules and regulations for the 2006 and 2007 seasons. Among the changes is a radically new rear wing design, dubbed the Centreline Downwash Generating Wing which is expected to increase overtaking in F1 races. The new wing, along with a return to slick tires, will make their debut in 2007. http://www.tsn.ca/auto_racing/news_story.a...ame=auto_racing Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/389221-new-qualifying-rear-wing-coming-to-f1/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibby Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 hope they keep the engine limit but allow for tire changes. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/389221-new-qualifying-rear-wing-coming-to-f1/#findComment-586719587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Fugly in my opinion. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/389221-new-qualifying-rear-wing-coming-to-f1/#findComment-586726672 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerm Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Well i don't really think aesthetics are high on their priority list. Lets just hope it acheieves it's objective, more freaking overtaking!

Crazysah Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I think this new qualifying format will get some time to get used to but eventually everyone will like it!

satishsays.com Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Formula One racing?s governing body, the FIA, has revealed plans for an innovative rear-wing design which it says could dramatically increase the amount of overtaking in the sport. The Centreline Downwash Generating (CDG) Wing is effectively two small rear wings - one over each wheel - with a clear gap in between. This gap would create a wake in which a following car would generate more downforce, allowing them to run much closer to the car in front through corners, hence making passing easier. The FIA hopes to see the design introduced as early as 2007 in conjunction with a return to wider wheels and slick tyres. The idea will be presented to a meeting of the Formula One Commission in London on Monday, where future regulations will be discussed. The CDG Wing marks the first results of the FIA?s collaboration with technology partners AMD, researching ways of improving the aerodynamic performance of a car when trying to overtake. ?This new research is important for the future of Formula One,? said FIA President, Max Mosley. ?By introducing the CDG wing we can give motor sport fans exactly what they have asked for, wheel-to-wheel racing with much more overtaking. ?It is our hope that the teams will collaborate with us in the optimisation of this radical new idea so that the aerodynamic benefits can be introduced into Formula One in 2007 rather than having to wait until 2008.? Major revisions to the aerodynamic regulations introduced in 2005 achieved their objective of cutting speeds. The downside was increasingly intricate bodywork designs which created high levels of turbulence behind the cars, making it more difficult for following cars to overtake.

Sn4k36 Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Those cars look pretty sweet.. I even like how the qualifying is going to be for 2006.

geek_rohit Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 What I'm wondering instead is that what will happen to the effect called slipstreaming!!! With this new wing design it won't be possible to overtake a car using the car's slipstream. Though whether this wing provides downforce at such a level that the cars can run much closer to each other can only be known once we can see the cars running, with this wing.
