Re: F1 engines

Most super high revving bike engines use a small rocker arm to give higher valve lift and increase high rpm breathing.

Re: F1 engines

Soooo....... exactly the system used on many car engines. Even the Datsun L24 had something like that.

Re: F1 engines

Different rocker ratios then cars, the smaller valves means then can use lighter weight arms with a higher ratio, combined with a steeper cam angle and stiffer springs means there's a higher effective lift for less weight.

It would be a nice addition to the game as it will make it more free and sandbox open.


I'm sure (Due to popular demand, such as yours, no doubt) that the game will have an auto-racing feature DLC once the tycoon is released. Soon, anyway, the game is going to implement a slider for fuel octane rather than a specific set number, so technically you can make infinite octane fuel if you want to. Me personally, I am going to make avgas powered V12 f1 engine, detune it, and then put it in a people carrier. Because I can.
