The wave of the future.

First World Championship appearance for Renault, a turbocharged engine & Michelin tyres. Jean-Pierre Jabouille debuted the RS01. The Frenchman rose to 16th before dropping back & retiring (turbo) on lap 16.

British Grand Prix, Silverstone, 16 July 1977.

This is too pretty not to share. Working hard on the next version, sometimes the development feels extremely slow, but this definitely makes me smile. :) Anyway, hope you enjoy!

How strong can a tow be? What about 26km/h ON TOP of DRS?!?๐Ÿ˜ณ

BEA had the 4th lowest top speed in quali (no tows): โ€˜justโ€™ 320km/h

Instead, he reached 346km/h while overtaking, although compared to quali:
-ERS deployment had to be managed more ๐Ÿชซ(โ€˜Overtake modeโ€™ in race?)
-Worse track conditions

AUSTRIA PREVIEW

C3-C5 compounds (as last year)
Optimal strategy was 2 stops (Starting on Mediums, alternating Mediums and Hards)

KEY FEATURES:
-700m altitude (~7% lower air density โžก๏ธLess drag and downforce)
-Fewest corners (10), shortest laptime (1'02"939 pole in 2020!)
