afrodude41 0 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 What's the point in limiting the revs of the ICE to 15 000 rpm if they never get there? Even at 360km/h, Ricciardo is still doing 12 000 rpm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even at 360km/h, Ricciardo is still doing 12 000 rpm It has some engineering thing to do with the turbo. Steve Matchett in America is always talking about it. Apparently the turbo and power unit in general run the fastest at the current rpm. Any faster the air isn't correct to compress. Or something along those lines I'm no engineer.
