Does low stature give a driver an advantage?
I understand low weight.
Low center of gravity

>that pic
When will manlets lern?
>>16082227
how much does this affect lap times?
assume the same alignment as before but 10mm lower?
same tires everything just lower
>>16082221
How long is the list of lanklet racecar divers?
>>16082242
Webber is normally sized
>>16082227
Actually no, the lower your seat, the lower the center of gravity. Now who has his seat lower, a tall person or a manlet? Assuming same weight and both fit inside the car comfortably, the taller driver has a tiny advantage.
>>16082221
Have fun in an F1 car if you are tall or fat. Center of gravity doesn't really matter because of how they sit. The bottom of the seat is on the floor of the car, and they sit with their legs basically straight out along the floor of the car. Uncomfy as fuck. And those things don't even have real roll cages, ever seen a tall guy try and get in and out of a NASCAR with no doors?
Richard Hammond might have died in his crash if he was any taller, so I guess that's an advantage.

lighter drivers have an advantage in motorsport since they can use more ballast to get up to the minimum weight
having more of your weight in ballast means you have more weight that can be moved around to places where it will aid car handling
every car has to be at the minimum weight at least, regardless of how much of a lanklet the driver is
Shouldn't a corner balance solve any issues?

>Uncomfy as fuck
Yeah because a driver who has to be tight in the car and be super concentrated during a session will sure have an uncomfortable seat that is distracting as fuck.
I mean of course they are not sitting on armchairs, but the seat is literally molded with foam around the driver for seat-less cars. Most formulas and prototypes come with no seat exactly because everyone will need a different one, they just come with the seat outer shell to comply with seat extraction regulation and that's it, the rest is foam.

Learn what? That they can drive better than you and get more pussy than you? Tall pussy white boi
>>16085491
Why are manlets always mad. Btw hows the weather down there?
>>16085510
>Btw hows the weather down there?
idk my face is in your girls pussy
>she's 5'8"
He would have an advantage on a motoGP bike, I guess?
Then again, rossi is 6'
>>16085510
Hmm why all tall people do insecure.
>>16085544
There's nothing to be insecure about if you're tall.
>>16085528
>>16085544
Reminder that if your height starts with 5 then you're subhuman and should not reproduce.
>>16082802
you're literally retarded. The seat is as low as it gets in every race car. Each driver has a different view from the cockpit depending on how long their torso is, they could have really short or long legs compared to torso. A guy sitting in the chair with the same torso length could easily be anywhere from 5'5-5'10
>>16082221
just low weight but that's all
>>16085549
No ones insecurebut you fags. Ever post Ive ever seen that has short guys in it someone always says manlet but ok
>>16085550
Shame all ur women are fucking everybody but you pussy ass tall white bois
>>16085583
Never called anyone a manlet in my life.
I hope you see the irony in projecting insecurity on anonymous posters.
>>16085601
Thats cause ur too much of a bitch to do it LMFAO
>>16085576
I know where you're coming from, but 'that's all' in respect to lost weight in a sport that will spend a million dollars in tooling to reduce the weight of a single component by 1kg, is an understatement.
If they have specific weight limits for a car at x year, a driver at 50kg versus 100kg means they can put additional strength in components that may need it or lower CoG somewhere else etc.
>>16085604
Incorrect. I just don't care about trivial things like height that one has no control over. I'd rather point out visible insecurity one is projecting as it's by far more despicable to be buttmad over the difference in height of an individual than the actual height itself.
That said, your bait is terrible and you should feel as such.
Are you that desperate for attention? Well, here you go. Enjoy it, it's obviously not that often you get it.
>>16085601
RESPECT man, I wish I could say the same.
>>16082221
yes.
too big, can't fit in car.
>>16085587
Be delusional somewhere else subhuman manlet filth
>>16085625
Manlet detected. Only manlets can write this kind of shit
>>16085635
Why would anyone respect a small person? Are you dumb? Go back to your hugbox
>>16085730
6'3. Technically I am a manlet from my pool of genetic choice. I'm slightly below average in my immediate family. My parent's are 5'11 and 5'6, but my biological uncles and aunties are 6'5"+.
I know this is /o/ and every post is bait, but get off your projectionhorse.
>>16085742
Well duh, I just feel shitty after awhile for all the people I have mistreated. It eventually just comes back at me as a reminder of what an asshole I am. Especially since I wasn't the hot shit I thought I was.
>>16085788
Nah im pretty sure you're a manlet and a massive vagina to boot
>>16085825
Ok, continue trying your hardest I guess.
>>16085830
Kill yourself manlet
>>16085840
>>16085544
That pic makes my dick feel funny
>>16085851
The funny thing is I love american muscle but I cant stop saving these lics
>>16085559
>you're literally retarded. The seat is as low as it gets in every race car.
Some can see over the steering wheel, some can't. Righto.
>>16085989
The steering wheel is also usually quite low
>>16085559
you can put in these seat inserts if the driver doesn't fit properly. i had to use one in a Radical the other week because i was sliding around from side to side in the seat
>>16085611
Every race car comes from the factory underweight so you can tune your ballast placement as you like to reach your target.
I assume you are talking about F1 levels when you talk about spending millions to shave weight and to reinforce stuff, but every other car is the same regardless of driver weight, you just add or remove ballast if you are lucky to race in a series that enforces a minimum weight that includes the driver, otherwise you suck it up and deal with the weight disadvantage.
You can't just upgrade to stronger components if you have a slim driver, most series out there ban every type of modification to the car. If the car has been homologated that way, it stays that way until the manufacturer updates the homologation..and that never happens during a season except for F1, LMP1 and similar top categories.
