thought I would share this not sure if it was recently posted or not:

very interesting and pretty amazing.

 

Very cool. What track is that supposed to be simulating? Looks like a wild ride!

 

I think it's the ring...but I bet they are overdoing it. The only thing this machine can't recreate are the G-forces on the car and how much of an affect it has on the oiling.

 

Isn't that their new rig testing the "integrated dry sump" for the new turbo?

 

I got car sick...

 

Amazing. Cool video.

 

That's the MKII 997 motor but our turbo's have a better dry sump systems, turbo's & GT"s have an external oil tank.

 

That is really cool. I would never imagine that they would gimbal a running engine like that.

 

I don't know, but simply tilting the engine on the gimbal actually does simulate a G force vector in the lateral directions. (ie fore/aft or left right)

There is no need to let the engine slop around in response to the internal engine speeds, etc. The gimbal would duplicate G force loading...

My guess

I'd seen this before, but no text/background on this

true. I guess the violent turning and tilting is indeed simulating the g-forces

 

I've seen this before also...it's the simulation of the track at the Nuremberg ring....

 

fixed...

 

Thank God for a quick thinker....brain fart....I actually ran the name thru spell check and this is what it brought back....should have done a bit more checking. Thanks for the save....(sound of slinking away to dark corner)
