this car would destroy any modern F1 car
00:00:03
on track the numbers behind it are wild
00:00:05
4.5 tons of dforce 16600 horsepower and
00:00:09
7g in lateral forces more remarkable
00:00:12
still it can be built today using
00:00:15
existing technology meet Sebastian
00:00:17
LaMore a former F1 conceptual design
00:00:20
engineer who spent 15 years on this
00:00:22
design and asked one question what if we
00:00:25
built an F1 car with no rules while
00:00:28
thousands of regulations can strain
00:00:30
modern F1 cars Lam more got inspiration
00:00:33
from the unlimited racing series of
00:00:35
Canam and Pikes Peak to create something
00:00:38
different the ultimate racing car and
00:00:40
all for a budget a tenth of an F1 teams
00:00:43
so I spoke to him to understand the
00:00:45
crazy engineering that could happen if
00:00:48
F1 had no rules back in the 1960s and70s
00:00:51
Canam was the ultimate playground for
00:00:54
engineers teams could run whatever
00:00:56
engines they wanted whatever
00:00:58
aerodynamics they dream up and the
00:01:00
result cars with over 1,000 horsepower
00:01:03
that made F1 cars of the time look slow
00:01:06
an early Formula 1 actually shared this
00:01:09
Spirit of innovation teams experimented
00:01:11
with six wheel cars massive fan
00:01:14
powerered dforce and even skirts that
00:01:16
sealed the car to the ground and there's
00:01:18
still a few places where you can race
00:01:21
without rules Pikes Peak for example
00:01:23
their unlimited class has no
00:01:24
restrictions on power or aerodynamics
00:01:27
and so you end up with cars that look
00:01:29
like
00:01:36
this so Sebastian took this Spirit of
00:01:39
innovation and designed something
00:01:41
amazing and to be clear this isn't just
00:01:43
fantasy he's really thought it through
00:01:46
he set himself three simple rules the
00:01:49
car must be able to run on real circuits
00:01:51
meet basic safety standards and be
00:01:54
buildable with current technology what
00:01:56
started as simulations in rfactor
00:01:58
eventually evolved into something much
00:02:01
more serious using his background of
00:02:03
conceptual F1 aerodynamics Sebastian
00:02:06
used cfd tools to develop and test the
00:02:08
car's aerodynamics the result is linle
00:02:12
so let's start with how Sebastian plans
00:02:14
to power this car his original idea was
00:02:17
wild he wanted to use a gas turbine
00:02:20
engine like you'd find in a jet
00:02:22
connected to a continuously variable
00:02:24
transmission a CVT like you'd find it on
00:02:27
a scooter or that crazy Williams F1
00:02:31
[Music]
00:02:33
car and this turbine idea isn't new in
00:02:36
Motorsport it's something we saw in
00:02:38
indicar and F1 in the 60s and70s but
00:02:42
ultimately it was banned if you put all
00:02:44
the PO train options on on the paper and
00:02:47
you and you see what are the the
00:02:49
advantages and disadvantages of each of
00:02:51
them there is no competition for the gas
00:02:53
turbine in term of lightness in term of
00:02:56
rollability and uh compactness but the
00:02:59
problem with with gas turbines is they
00:03:01
have massive inertia they don't like
00:03:03
changing speed quickly so while
00:03:06
incredibly powerful they're not
00:03:07
practical for a race car that needs to
00:03:09
accelerate and break constantly and
00:03:12
Sebastian wants to build this car one
00:03:14
day which probably isn't feasible with
00:03:17
the gas turbine so he went back to the
00:03:19
drawing board and his solution a twin
00:03:21
turbo 1.6 L V6 producing 1,600
00:03:26
horsepower which is a loss but there are
00:03:28
cars with more than that so why not add
00:03:31
more power the first thing was to
00:03:33
actually try figure out what is the
00:03:36
optimum uh amount of horsepower which is
00:03:40
actually usable on a racing track
00:03:43
because you know you can put 2,000 or
00:03:46
3,000 horsepowers on a race car but at
00:03:48
some stage that doesn't make any sense
00:03:50
through simulation he found that 1,600
00:03:53
horsepower was The Sweet Spot especially
00:03:55
for a rear whe drive car any more than
00:03:57
that would just spin the wheels even
00:03:59
with with all the grip that this car has
00:04:01
and if this number sounds familiar it's
00:04:03
because it matches the qualifying power
00:04:05
of the 1980s F1 turbo
00:04:09
monsters which definitely didn't have
00:04:11
anywhere near enough grip for that power
00:04:14
but unlike those 8s cars linle aims to
00:04:17
be sustainable instead of fossil fuels
00:04:20
it runs on synthetic fuel the same
00:04:22
technology that Sebastian vetto has been
00:04:24
championing by running his historic F1
00:04:27
cast the power flows through an 8-speed
00:04:29
gear gearbox with seamless shifts
00:04:31
however surprisingly Sebastian is open
00:04:34
to it being an automatic which doesn't
00:04:36
sound great until you remember that this
00:04:38
car can pull 7g in the corners and when
00:04:41
you're pulling 7g you probably want the
00:04:43
car to handle the gear changes for you
00:04:46
which is going to play in in in another
00:04:48
league in term of uh speed and
00:04:51
performances and in term of on onling it
00:04:54
will be better uh for the driver not to
00:04:57
have to cope with changing the gears
00:04:59
because the responses time which will be
00:05:01
required to drive this car they are
00:05:03
going to be much uh much much more much
00:05:06
more reduced compared to to to actual
00:05:08
Formula 1 cars so that's the drivetrain
00:05:11
but what crazy aerodynamics are on a car
00:05:13
that's 15 seconds a lap faster than F1
00:05:17
well before we get into that I need to
00:05:18
tell you about today's sponsor on shape
00:05:21
they're a professional grade CAD system
00:05:23
that's revolutionizing how Engineers
00:05:25
design racing cars and other complex
00:05:28
machines and while Sebastian spent years
00:05:30
refining linle design one of his biggest
00:05:33
challenges would have been collaboration
00:05:35
and Version Control and that's exactly
00:05:37
what makes on shape different it's built
00:05:40
entirely in the cloud allowing multiple
00:05:42
Engineers to work on the same design
00:05:44
simultaneously just like Google Docs but
00:05:46
for CAD but what really impressed me is
00:05:49
that it never crashes and you never lose
00:05:51
your work and on shape can run in your
00:05:54
browser so you can design anywhere on
00:05:57
any device for all the engineers
00:05:59
watching you can get up to 6 months of
00:06:01

00:06:04
visiting onshape dopro driver61 now
00:06:08
let's see how Sebastian tackled the most
00:06:10
crucial part of La Pinnacle the
00:06:12
aerodynamics so looking at the car you
00:06:14
might notice something's missing there's
00:06:17
no front Wing instead the entire car
00:06:20
works like one massive upside down
00:06:22
airplane wing generating downforce from
00:06:24
nose to tail at 185 mph the Pinnacle
00:06:28
generates 4 . 5 tons of dforce that's
00:06:31
like having three regular cars pushing
00:06:34
down on top of you and the more low that
00:06:36
you have pushing the tires into the
00:06:38
track the faster you can go around
00:06:40
corners the floor is made to be as big
00:06:42
as possible and it starts really far
00:06:45
forward at the front suspension
00:06:47
channeling air through carefully shaped
00:06:49
tunnels that run the entire length of
00:06:51
the car and these tunnels work in
00:06:53
harmony with the upper body work and the
00:06:55
side pods to generate massive downforce
00:06:58
but making this work work requires
00:07:00
precise control of the airflow now the
00:07:03
car has a 45% front weight distribution
00:07:06
so Sebastian needed about 40% of the
00:07:08
dime Force at the front of the car to
00:07:11
keep it stable getting this balance
00:07:13
right without a front Wing took months
00:07:15
of development and the ground effect
00:07:17
floor design also has another challenge
00:07:20
it needs to be perfectly sealed to work
00:07:23
in the 1980s F1 cars used mechanical
00:07:25
skirts that physically touched the
00:07:27
ground and sealed the floor but the
00:07:30
Pinnacle uses something more
00:07:31
sophisticated a combination of vortices
00:07:34
and carefully shaped body work to create
00:07:37
an invisible seal this massive ground
00:07:40
effect system creates so much down force
00:07:42
and so far forward that modern f1's
00:07:45
complex front Wings actually become
00:07:47
unnecessary it's simple but very
00:07:50
effective but Le Pinacle has another
00:07:52
trick up its sleeve it combines this
00:07:54
massive ground effect system with
00:07:56
something that was banned in F1 after
00:07:59
just One race fan Car Technology but
00:08:02
this isn't just adding a big fan to a
00:08:04
race car it's a system that changes how
00:08:06
the car works at different speeds
00:08:09
because fans are only really useful at
00:08:11
lower speeds below 150 km per hour it's
00:08:15
a fan car hydraulically activated panels
00:08:17
seal off the front and rear of the floor
00:08:20
while the skirts seal the sides creating
00:08:22
an enclosed space under the car then a
00:08:25
massive 390 mm fan at the rear driven by
00:08:29
the gear box creates powerful suction
00:08:31
this generates one ton of pure Dam force
00:08:34
and unlike wings and diffusers it works
00:08:36
even when the car standing still it's a
00:08:39
giant vacuum cleaner literally sucking
00:08:41
the car onto the track however with with
00:08:44
ground effect aerodynamics the level of
00:08:46
down force is going to increase uh by
00:08:49
the square of the speed that's why once
00:08:52
the car reaches 15 km/ hour the panels
00:08:55
retract allowing air to flow naturally
00:08:58
through those ground Effect tunnel
00:08:59
tunnels we've changed from fan Arrow to
00:09:02
organic Arrow the blades on the fan even
00:09:04
rotate to reduce the disruption to the
00:09:06
airf flow it's a complete change of how
00:09:09
the car generates its aerodynamic grip
00:09:11
but running the fans isn't free it draws
00:09:15
15 horsepower from the engine through
00:09:17
the gearbox that's like having a VW Golf
00:09:20
engine to just power the fan but it's a
00:09:22
small price to pay for the ability to
00:09:24
generate serious downforce in the slow
00:09:27
corners and the engineering doesn't up
00:09:29
there take the side pods they're a
00:09:31
perfect example of how Sebastian is
00:09:34
pushing every detail to the Limit most
00:09:36
race cars have fixed inlets for
00:09:38
radiators but the Pinnacle has something
00:09:41
different each side pod has three
00:09:43
separate openings and two of them can
00:09:45
close completely but what's the point of
00:09:47
them closing well when you're flat out
00:09:49
on a straight you don't need as much
00:09:52
cooling air the cars moving so fast that
00:09:54
even a smaller opening provides enough
00:09:57
airf flow so at high speeds those are
00:09:59
electric actuators Clos two of the
00:10:01
inlets dramatically reducing drag and
00:10:05
increasing top speed and it doesn't stop
00:10:07
at the inlets look at those black
00:10:10
stripes on the side those are the
00:10:12
radiator cores and they're doing
00:10:14
something clever they're actually
00:10:15
Twisted a technique that was banned in
00:10:18
Formula 1 the system is crowned by these
00:10:20
red chimneys and Slots on the side pods
00:10:23
and these are clever they have two
00:10:26
purposes first they vent the hot
00:10:28
radiator air air but they also act as
00:10:31
aerodynamic end plates guiding the air
00:10:33
that flows over the top of the side pods
00:10:35
and directing it precisely towards the
00:10:38
rear diffuser and so increasing
00:10:40
downforce further but perhaps the most
00:10:42
striking feature of linle might be its
00:10:45
wheels at first glance they look like
00:10:47
something from a land speeed record car
00:10:49
they are cover with with this kind of
00:10:52
teardrop shape because this is basically
00:10:54
the the optimum shape as for reducing
00:10:56
the the drag and these aren't just simp
00:10:59
covers they're an integral part of the
00:11:02
suspension they're mounted directly to
00:11:04
the wheel assembly and upright meaning
00:11:06
they move up and down with the wheels
00:11:09
and at the front they even turn with the
00:11:11
steering this design allows the covers
00:11:13
to sit Incredibly Close to the wheels
00:11:15
only allowing for the slight Tire
00:11:17
expansion at high speeds and while the
00:11:19
front wheels are 18in designs like
00:11:21
current F1 cars the rears a classic 13in
00:11:25
just like F1 used before 2022 and this
00:11:28
approach has multiple purposes the
00:11:30
larger front wheels allow for bigger
00:11:32
brake discs while the smaller rear
00:11:34
wheels help to manage the massive Torque
00:11:36
from that 1600 horsepower engine the
00:11:39
covers also work with the barge boards
00:11:41
to manage Tire Wake the turbulent air
00:11:44
created by spinning wheels which can be
00:11:46
a pain for aerodynamics the front covers
00:11:49
guide this Disturbed air away from the
00:11:51
car keeping the flow to the rear as
00:11:53
clean as possible speaking of managing
00:11:56
complex air flows if you want to master
00:11:57
the science behind f F1 aerodynamics
00:12:00
join former Ferrari Benetton and cyber
00:12:02
aerodynamic genius William toet for our
00:12:05
Drive 61 education program from ground
00:12:08
effects to Vortex management learn from
00:12:10
over 30 years of F1 experience you can
00:12:13
join the weit list for the course with
00:12:15
the link below so let's move onto the
00:12:17
body of the Pinnacle and of course it's
00:12:19
not about looks every surface precisely
00:12:22
manages airflow the side pods and
00:12:24
Bodywork are designed to create one
00:12:26
continuous Wing surface working together
00:12:29
with the ground effect tunnels below but
00:12:32
one of the most interesting features is
00:12:34
the roll hoop behind the driver's head
00:12:36
and yes it might look familiar although
00:12:39
it's a single blade design something
00:12:41
Sebastian worked on at saber before it
00:12:44
was banned in Formula 1 the roll hoop is
00:12:47
visible through transparent Lex and
00:12:49
panels showing off its organic 3D
00:12:51
printed structure and while it looks
00:12:53
incredible there's also serious
00:12:55
engineering behind it the single blade
00:12:57
design creates less aerodynamic
00:12:58
disturbance sending clear air to the
00:13:00
rear wing and therefore making it work
00:13:03
more efficiently and looking at the rear
00:13:05
of the car the rear wing might look
00:13:07
fairly conventional with its DRS system
00:13:09
for reducing drag on the straights but
00:13:12
unlike the rest of the car that
00:13:13
optimizes every surface for performance
00:13:16
Sebastian made a conscious decision to
00:13:18
compromise here I have to say that the
00:13:20
rear wing is only aerodynamic element on
00:13:23
the car which was
00:13:25
compromised a little bit for a styling
00:13:28
there is no clearer emplates and when
00:13:30
you have a car generating This Much
00:13:32
downforce from its floor and fan system
00:13:35
you can afford to make the rear wing a
00:13:37
bit prettier I suppose but what's truly
00:13:39
clever about the Pinnacle is how it
00:13:41
manages all of these different
00:13:43
aerodynamic systems and the car uses
00:13:45
just three active elements Hydraulics
00:13:47
for the floor seals Hydraulics for the
00:13:49
DRS system and electric actuators for
00:13:52
the side pods but why not just make
00:13:54
everything active one could say in in a
00:13:57
completely open Formula can have 100 of
00:14:00
uh of aerodynamic devices all uh all
00:14:03
moveable but practically is is more
00:14:07
complicated than that because of course
00:14:08
every time you have a an active AO
00:14:12
device you need an actor you need
00:14:14
control units so instead of adding loads
00:14:17
more complexity with loads of active
00:14:19
systems Sebastian found a smarter
00:14:21
solution using the natural flexibility
00:14:24
of materials something known as Aero
00:14:27
elasticity this means that at High
00:14:29
speeds Wings Bend and flatten reducing
00:14:32
drag and then Flex back up again to
00:14:34
higher Wing angles at slower speeds
00:14:36
where the extra downforce is required
00:14:39
now in Formula 1 they strictly control
00:14:41
this kind of flexibility most of the
00:14:43
time but with no rules linle can use it
00:14:46
to full effect getting many of the
00:14:48
benefits of active Arrow without the
00:14:51
weight and complexity of extra actuators
00:14:53
and controllers so what would a car like
00:14:56
this actually do on track through simul
00:14:59
ations and cftd Analysis the Pinnacle
00:15:01
has shown some incredible potential at
00:15:03
the Barcelona circuit it would lap
00:15:06
between 10 and 15 seconds faster than
00:15:09
current Formula 1 cars to put that into
00:15:11
perspective that's roughly the same Gap
00:15:13
as between F1 and F3 and it would make
00:15:17
that time up everywhere breaking
00:15:19
cornering and acceleration but perhaps
00:15:21
the most remarkable thing about the
00:15:23
Pinnacle isn't its performance it's the
00:15:26
cost while a modern F1 team spends
00:15:28
around $135 million per year chasing
00:15:32
tenth of a second this entire project
00:15:34
would cost far less I will say uh seven
00:15:38
seven seven digits uh number
00:15:42
but I I I i7 digit M I think that's
00:15:47
right a car that's potentially 15
00:15:49
seconds a lap faster than F1 could be
00:15:51
built for less than 10 million pound and
00:15:54
this points to something fascinating
00:15:56
about modern Motorsport when engineers
00:15:59
aren't constrained by regulations they
00:16:01
often find simpler Solutions no complex
00:16:03
front wings no intricate barge boards

The numbers behind it are wild: 4.5 tonnes of downforce, 1,600 horsepower, and 7G in lateral forces. More remarkable still - it can be built today, using existing technology. Meet Sébastien Lamour, a former F1 conceptual design engineer who spent 15 years on this design, and asked one question: What if we built an F1 car with no rules? While thousands of regulations constrain modern F1 cars, Lamour got inspiration from the unlimited racing series of Can-Am and Pikes Peak to create something different - the ultimate racing car. And for a budget a 10th of an F1 team’s. So, I spoke to him, to understand the crazy engineering that could happen if F1 had no rules. 📢 Advertise to 7.3 million F1, motorsport and Engineering fans: https://driver61.com/advertise/ 📹 All source footage can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1f6djMeQboF6ej_1zO5sASzPvIRFkvGQRn1DetlDukXc/edit?usp=sharing 👉 My other socials: - Instagram - @official_driver61 - https://www.facebook.com/unsupportedbrowser - Facebook - OfficialDriver61 - https://www.facebook.com/unsupportedbrowser - TikTok - @official_driver61 - https://bit.ly/D61TikTok - Twitter - https://twitter.com/scottkmansell 🛞 My Sim Kit: - Fanatec DD2: https://www.fanatec.com/eu/en?a_aid=5dea1473906c3 - SImlabs P1X Pro: https://sim-lab.eu/?clickref=&rel=
