Just watched it. Amazing programme. It was all being filmed when I was working there in the F1 gearbox dept. I can honestly say that its the most incredible, clean and perfectionist ridden building I have experineced. |

Yeah great programme, although things were dumbed down somewhat for the mainstream audience, it's great to be able to see what's behind the scenes and the processes involved - i thought it was a really good watch. And yes, ridiculously clean and tidy...! |

I like it too, but as has been mentioned its a little dulled down for the mainstream audiance then I'd like. Thought the same about the A380 programme too. On 7th Oct, 2010 5haneJ said:

Only if we could compare it with their shorter ram tunnel and unequal length exhaust manifold design results. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

Any decent text book on the subject will explain the proven aspects of long or short runners etc.

I'm only winding you up Paul. I am sure that all their engine designers were well versed in text books before putting pen to paper. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

I don't believe you Paul. F1 designers can not have used a Nissan engine as inspiration.... On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:
