Renault RS 2027 Vision – F1 for the future

25 April 2017

Renault at the Shanghai motor show presented his vision of the development of technology of Formula 1

The French imagined how would look like a Formula 1 car in the year 2027, putting his concept RS 2027 Vision. On actually Renault in"the Big Prizes" with 1977 years, and not by hearsay knows about existing problems related to the safety of the pilots. Many great riders no longer with us due to a lack of safety cars in previous years.

At the moment there are constant disputes in the first closing the cockpit the pilot "cap" or arch security. Advocates of the traditions are strongly opposed, as this may violate the spirit of the competition; the progressive part of the participants convinces everyone in the need for additional head protection. However, those others understand that human life is valued above prejudices or traditions. Understand it and Renault, because the main feature of the concept RS 2027 Vision is its polycarbonate transparent roof designed to protect the driver from danger.

However, this option still have questions. At least the need for cleaning the glass from wear products from tyres, dust and dirt and also remove water during rain. Untrained reader may think that at the open cockpit the driver fills even more. But the aerodynamics of the car are built so that even on small speeds the helmet fills slightly, in the opposite case, the pilot can wipe it with your hand. And for dusting the dirt "visor" of the helmet glued multi-layered film, Stripping away layer layer of which, the pilot regains visibility.

Of course, not forget that RS 2027 Vision only a concept and attempt to resolve the problem. However, there is in it very interesting ideas. For example, the illumination drive wheels with the number of the circle, led inserts in the wing, benefit from which is doubtful, but it looks good. And also the excretion for all to see the telemetry of the car.

There are very unpleasant for the conservatives ' proposals to make cars with four-wheel drive, install the additional battery to the pit lane to drive solely on the electric range or to build the autopilot system, which could be activated by the race organizers in case of severe accidents.

Security security and many, probably, and I would like to see more, as pilots compete and risk. Because this feeling is passed from the pilots to viewers if the last to deny this feeling, what they will come on track of Spa, Monza, Suzuka or domestic Sochi. It is Boxing, if a boxer will be dressed in equipment "Warrior" and they are forbidden to even touch each other?
