2021 Sirius Formula Street World Tour FP8_1

After the Coronavirus debacle of 2020, Formula Street’s inaugural season was moved to 2021. This car was originally designed for 2020, but wasn’t able to be built until 2021. Meanwhile, the team was busy building ventilators. When that was over, they got back to the car. The car competes in the World Tour series, which has a 50% fuel flow rate limit above every National series. Compared to the National series, the World Tour series has a larger calendar (16 vs <=12). Cars run with tyres that don’t rubber in or produce marbles, allowing the entire track to have a similar amount of grip. Downforce isn’t that strong, but it doesn’t produce dirty air that can reduce downforce for following cars. The FP8_1 is an oddity of the grid. It’s the only known car running NA, with a 2. 5L V8 producing around 450hp @ 10500rpm, giving the car a weight advantage. The rest of the car, apart from top speed, however, is a bit of a letdown. The aero package was quickly repurposed from their oval race cars, not producing the optimal amount of downforce, even if the car weighs 1829lbs or 830kg, making it the lightest on the field. The rear wing of the car was modified before the season began, but the new spec still isn’t very good at its principal job of producing downforce. If one thing about the car is obvious, is that the handling of this car will be underwhelming compared to the other cars, as well as experiencing frequent suspension failures. Using cockpit view will definitely be fun with all the bodywork in the way ;). You also don’t suffer under braking. Enter operation mode to open the top part of the car
