The new V8 engines are reputed to rev to over 20,000 rpm already (less crank twist or something means they cars rev higher), and by the end of next year may see 23-25,000 rpm

are they running a de-cat to get flames like that?

[KingStromba]

These engines run all sorts of exotic metals like berylium to save weight (even though its been banned apparently). They think that with the higher rev limit the new V8's will put out about 850 BHP on their debuts and be pushing 900 BHP by the end of the first year.

This is meant to be a power saving, money saving exercise

[KingStromba]

They use cooling systems in th garage. Isnt that a Brian Hart engine?

[KingStromba]

They use cooling systems in the garage. As its arrows F1, i would assume its a V10, as they never had V8 under TWR ownership :D . I think that is a Brian Hart engine
