Fifth scale 2008 F1 Car

[BP-Revo]

Nope, a show called Top Gear, which is a British car show thats tests cars, has a home track that they drive all the cars around. Renault did a challenge that their 04-05 Season F1 Car (Alonso's Championship car) could do a lap in less than a minute (the fastest was 1 minute 20 seconds or so).

During that show, they said the car had 1500hp.

The video in my previous post shows the rev limiter set at 20,003, as the engine stays at 20,002 and flashes up for a second, cuts off, rpms drop and then come back up to 20,002.

Hmm... I suppose we have conflicting sources. http://www.f1technical.net/articles/4 I really wish I got Top Gear. I saw an episode or two and love to watch their vids online. They really do a good job and have fun doing it.

PS: There's an awesome dyno vid in that link.

Finally, the last update of the project. I completed the application for the design contest but SolidWorks' upload mechanism wasn't working so I'm still trying to figure out how to get it to them. I'm going to call Monday and talk to them until it is resolved. My other option is to overnight it to Sweden, which I'll do if necessary but it isn't really a financially efficient plan.

So here's the conclusion that concerns some of you: If I find someone willing to host the 87mb zip file I'll put it online for everyone to download. The earliest that would be up is the 1st of December so I'll try to find someone by then.

Thanks for following my project and giving me tips along the way.
