Is it the real car? Maybe. Probably. In this video we look at the Red Bull RB20 that was presented to us.

How did F1's Trick Dual Rate Suspension Work?

In previous years, many systems were run across the grid that allowed the rear ends of F1 cars to drop rapidly once they were on the straights.

    10:19 El tercer conjunto muelle-amortiguador sirve para limitar la altura mínima del eje, es decir, evita que el eje baje más allá de cierto punto, además contrarresta el efecto de la barra estabilizadora en línea recta, por lo que se puede emplear una barra estabilizadora mucho más rígida. Los conjuntos muelle-amortiguador no van unidos a los brazos de la suspensión directamente, sino a través de un "bell crank", de esta manera pasan a ser masa suspendida y se logra una disminución de la masa no suspendida con la consiguiente mejora en comodidad y rendimiento. Los 2 conjuntos muelle-amortiguador han de estar un poco más verticales (como en el Ferrari Purosangue) posición diagonal y no completamente horizontal, de esta manera podremos emplear una idea similar al sistema de amortiguadores TrueActive de Multimatic de Ferrari. Si bien es verdad que seguimos manteniendo el fluido magnetoreológico en contraposición a el mecanismo de orificios variables que tiene este sistema, la idea que copiamos es la tuerca y el perno de baja fricción que permiten retraer o expandir el eje del amortiguador, para levantar o bajar cada una de las 4 esquinas del coche de forma independiente y mucho más rapido que una suspensión neumática. Para poder implementar esta idea los 2 amortiguadores deben estar en diagonal, ni completamente horizontal, ni completamente vertical.

    ok so why cars dont simply use active aero either to be manually overiden when need to go super fast/straight so for overtaking or going on long straight and then setting it half way for low curves and then pumping it up for heavy curves or it can be connected to speed / tracktion controll or even gps for tracks...this could be done automatic by some system or simply by a lever operated by pilot as flaps on a plane

    I think it would be cool to experiment with adding a rudder and aileron system to the diffuser in addition to this. They would be geared togethor and linked to the steering. The ailerons would tilt the car like a motorcycle and the rudder would work together with the shark fin like the keel and rudder system on a boat. It would also feature a double diffuser design to prevent stalling

    "support the mechanical grip" *Can't decouple heave and roll* Um....Based on the feedback of the rear being very stable and the front kind of washing out, it seems as if they missed the mark on the front end of the car. Sure the aero works and it's with a low budget but it seems as though they didn't address the mechanical grip on the front end AFTER they accomplished the front aero packaging.
