What do you think of the new addition Formula 2 car?

Just look inside your F2 cockpit and youll see a seq stick.

 

then both stick and paddles is possible.

 

I dont know, is this possible? Having both in a racing car? More weight just to have a choice?

Zitat Motorsport-Total.com 02.03.2009:
"Als Antrieb dient ein 450 PS starkes Turbo-Aggregat von Audi. Das Auto verfügt über ein sequenzielles Sechsgang-Getriebe mit Wippschaltung, eine ausgeklügelte Aerodynamik sowie ein hochwertiges Monocoque, das den Sicherheitsbestimmungen der Formel 1 entspricht . "Als ich zum ersten Mal von der ganzen Geschichte hörte, war ich nicht sonderlich begeistert", sagte Teamchef Frank Williams."
Googletranslatio:
"It is powered by a 450-hp turbo engine from Audi. The car has a sequential six-speed gearbox with Paddleshifter, sophisticated aerodynamics and a high-monocoque, which complies with the safety regulations of Formula 1. "When I first heard of the whole story, I was not very enthusiastic," said team principal Frank Williams."

 

In the vid below you can clearly see the driver shift up with the paddles on the wheel nikos.

 

I have seen this in rally cars, probably not in formula.

Paddles is what I use.

 

you sure thats not an Anti-Roll bar adjustment or something?

 

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! That he just happens to adjust every time a gear magically changes without him reaching for a stick!?!?!?!?!?!?

The car, like every advanced modern race car and like even a fairly basic Hyundai street car, comes with/uses paddle shifters.

 

eh? I mean the stick in the car not the paddles, not watched the video

 

Here`s another video of the gears being changed with paddles on the wheel.

 

So, paddles it is, thank you all for bringing forward my incopetence on subject *blush*

i have to agree with essex boy Luciano Bacheta
i think there is an extra sense of speed and feel which really comes through with the the f2 cars, a lot more than the other open
wheel cars

 

Interesting, maybe it's for the front wing adjustment? I believe someone said F2 has one but it's not yet implemented into rF2 mod.

 

Yeah could well be

 

I thought all this was done at the wheel.

 

Even in F1 cars some things are changeable which aren't on the wheel but beside it, watch Schumachers Pole lap from Monaco this year, where he steers through a corner with one hand to adjust brakebalance(?).

 

Well I have combed the internet trying to find the answer on this one guys, I now know it's definately not the front wing adjustment, as it states on the F2 website in an article buried away that this happens on the steering wheel. The most likely operation is the front roll bar, as someone already mentioned. Definately not the a shifter stick either, like someone beat me to, this does occur in rallying, I remember someone like Marcus Gronholm's paddles failing mid rally and he had to use the stick shifter.

 

Well i found this little snippet on the FIA Institute website...


The front and rear wings can be adjusted to alter the aerodynamic balance of the car and drivers will even have the ability to make some of these adjustments via on-board controls - the F2 car features a cockpit-adjustable front anti-roll bar and a pioneering front wing adjuster on the steering wheel.

So i guess the control you guys are talking about is for the anti-roll bar.
