Red Bull Racing RB19 Sidepod Intake Update
Red Bull Racing RB19 Sidepod Intake Update
2023 Azerbaijan Grand Prix Free Practice spots an update on the sidepod intake design for the RB19. Red Bull Racing have raised the overall height of its base sidepod intake. They have also increased the intake width to compensate for the reduced height of the intake to maintain total airflow for cooling.

The original Rotary engine known as the DKM54 has zero reciprocating mass means there is no vibration issues as well. Its timing between the outer housing and rotary rotation makes its operate like a four stroke version of the KKM rotary that we got to know.

A country like Norway may think otherwise with its 98% renewable sourced electric production however this does not escape many points raised by Dr. Conway but what about places where their source of electricity is still dependent on methods that emits Carbon dioxide?

What was exposed were flaps directly on the path of the JS11’s ground effect tunnels that also covered the tunnels width. Piola nicknamed them ‘Clapet’ for flaps/valve in French. It effectively is variable aero device that would remain close for high downforce and then open to reduce drag during sections where high downforce is not need
