Quote from BlueFlame :

Well I looked it up on wikipedia and the first thing that came up was that they're using it in anti-knock tests.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heptane

I don't know how true this is, i mean, lets face it. It's Wiki.

Heptane is used in comparison tests but not in the actual fuel that is being tested. I said that before and it says that in the article.

Quote from BlueFlame :

Well I'm pretty sure they're using heptane in knocking tests for race engines. I could be wrong though.

You just need a knock sensor for that. No n-heptane needed.

What you might be thinking about it testing fuels to get the RON number. RON is determined by running the fuel that is being tested in a test engine with a variable compression ratio under controlled conditions, and then comparing the results with those for mixtures of iso-octane and n-heptane.

Basically if your fuel is RON90 it has the same anti-knock qualities as a mixture of 90% iso-octane and 10% n-heptane.

Quote from BlueFlame :

So essentially they would find the highest octane shizzle they could find then then add as little anti-knock agent as possible so that it was no longer an issue to have such high octane fuel?

n-heptane is far from anti-knock. I'm pretty sure that shit would explode from me looking at it .
Toluene is very dense which means that it doesn't vapourise easily. n-heptane would help start the reaction whilst also reducing the octane rating. Honda used to preheat the fuel by running the lines through or past the muffler and various other hot parts.

Quote from BlueFlame :

Well I don't know the regs on fuel for F1, but I was sure the fuel was ethanol based.

F1 fuel is 40% Aromatics by wt%. i.e. Toluene and stuff (but only 1% Benzene)

In the 80's F1 fuel was 86% Toluene - which has a RON of 121 - and the rest was something like n-heptane which has a RON of 0. Ridiculous stuff

Only 2 rookies running at the end (not counting #33) and only one of them didn't cause any crashes

matt obviously watched 2012 talladega2 there, got some drivin tips from tony

Quote from kars19 :

Grate cars ruined by iRacings ''you will die if you cross the limits'' tire physics
Try to drift both cars in that big empty circle test polygon, even with super fast rack (tried with 480 degrees) it's impossible to catch a slide, no matter how fast you turn the wheel

??? both cars are easy to drift even though I'm really crap at drifting

RUF RT12R is a road car (RWD and AWD)

ouch

Quote from Yuusei :

I'll be streaming my two stints from 18:00-20:00 and 04:00-06:00 here. And if Deko doesn't care, I'll continue to stream while in server as admin/rescue car.

wow

Quote from PMD9409 :

Wow.

Wow.

Ham's argument in a nutshell

Looking forward to see how Aleshin does, should be a good season either way. Hopefully they can gain TV viewership from angry NASCAR fans

Rinse and repeat

BUT, most importantly, this

So under a format which emphasises winning SO MUCH, a driver with no wins would've won the title. LOL
