2026" tyres? Holy shit! 😱
Yuki would enjoy having a car that’s almost 170 ft. up in the air. Assuming, of course, he can get in
Don’t the drivers hate the 18s because they can’t see anything over them or around them. Surely 16s would make driving better which is the whole point of them.
Radial velocity of the tires would have to increase to keep the same linear velocity. This would put more stress and heat on them which would increase the chance for failure.
They went from 13 to 18 with slower cars surely they could deal with the reduction?
They could if one of two things happens: they better engineer tires to withstand the increased heat or they introduce certain caps on speed.
I’ve heard them say it’s a combination of the larger wheels along with the mandated aero device over the tires causing large blind spots as you would normally approach an apex.
drivers don’t usually look at the area immediately around the car. When not in a fight with another car they tend to look into the next corner or, if they are in a corner, into corner exit. If they are fighting another car they tend to look at that car, not at their own. They can’t even see their own front wing period, no matter if the wheels are in the way or not.
