I believe if they opt for larger power then the time of power releasing will be shorter? Larger power of ERS also means more tire wear. So I doubt any of the three manufacturers will choose to maximize power, instead, a balance of power output, ERS releasing time and tire wear.
A total output of 900 might be possible I believe, with minor variances of all three. |

One question for TF110 or another guy with all lot of knowledge. The LMP1 will have 36 or 37 seconds per lap on the 300 hp boost in Le mans (13.6 Km). That could be 150 hp for 72 or 74 seconds. The F1 will have 30 seconds per lap on 160 hp boost in circuit around 6 or 7 Km. Could this be the same time/power relationship like LMP1? |

Previously, ACO set brake zones. In Le Mans case, it's seven, so 500kJ*7=3.5MJ, but in most sprint races there are 4 zones, so the total energy is 2MJ instead of 3.5, similar power but surely less boost time. In the F1 scenario, it's 400kJ a lap before 2014, so less than what LMP can harvest in a corner.
Forgot about the new regs though, but I'm sure 8MJ energy and boost time is still restricted to Le Sarthe. |

I moved the lengthy posts about different energy storage systems to the technical regulations discussion thread.

Looks like that the livery's gonna be the same as from previous year (my opinion).

I think they just put it on last years car to take a nice picture. No way that they've got all there test cars stickered up.

I think those little white lines are reflections of lights at the roof of that workshop/pitbox

Photo looks like the right front fender of a TS030 with the ACO fuel flow restrictor device on it to show what the device is supposed to look like.
Only thing that could cause me to rule out it being a TS030 (which is probably is) is the lack of a mirror on the pontoon fender section. |

The mirror is a bit further back than that.

It may be the TS040, thered be no reason to hide the car if it was last year's. They confirmed the livery would be similar to last year's. Sebastian Buemi tweeted that he would be testing in a few days.

I am sure that Toyota can do better than tease us with a shot of what is basically a standard part sitting on a TS030 front fender (so it seems...). Show us an actual shot of the new car. Even a lowres picture will suffice.

I suggest you go back to page 7. They must have a solution they are secretive about. Obviously so if they have shown one photo from the front, in the dark.

Besides, with the emphasis in 2014 shifting more towards the development of an efficient engine + ERS package, I sincerely doubt that being secretive about the exterior design of the TS040 will have much impact. Do you honestly believe that Porsche and Audi are waiting to see Toyota's design to immediately try to copy it ? It's too late for that. Furthermore, Porsche and Audi have been "showcasing" their initial interpretations of the new rules, but we have yet to have a full picture and understanding of what sits underneath the skin. You can be "secretive" even by showing a few things to the public. In any event, both Porsche and Audi have yet to show their final iterations of the new LMP1 contenders. IMHO, Toyota have absolutely nothing to gain by being overly secretive, especially at such a late stage of the development. |

I also agree... and more since i suspect the TS040 will resemble the TS030 much more than the 2014 R18 resembled the 2013 R18.
I suspect most of changes will be under the skin... the fact of 2 kinetic ERSs and then the engine that must be quite revised to cope with less fuel. Because for a "throttled" engine less fuel has more significant impact than for a "throttle-less" that can play well with lean mixtures. And this aspect of engine most probably we wouldn't be able to tell any differences even if Toyota showed under the skin. |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Avensis No!.. they have expertize alright... the problem is politics... the problem is always politics... (at least in europe they also sell other very good small passenger cars on diesel (yaris i think)... don't know all the lines of toyota... but think diesel options is present in most of them) Last edited by hcl123; 12 Feb 2014 at 15:17. |
