Another point of view
Daniel Poissenot's views on the 2010 rulebook seem to have changed..........

So the Aston Martin V12 would need 2 x 33.7 mm restrictors. |

A/C will always be bad for fuel economy.
I agree that it is desirable in GT cars with front engine, but in LMP cars the engine is behind the driver so there is automatically less heat in the cockpit. |

Surely the point is, you fit air con, design the car's ventilation so that you don't need to run it and hey presto! Surely it only robs power/increases fuel consumption if you actually turn it on. As HD says, it's a win-win.

The Corvettes AC, does not run off the engine, it has a special gear off the transmission. the AC condensor is in the rear Lic plate area. So there is no degridation of fuel milage, but keeps the cockpit cooler, 70-75* F vs 130*F without. Even 75*F in a drivers suite for over an hour is a long time. Cool suites are great, but the ice melts cooling the water very quickly. Longest I have gotten was 45 min in 100* Plus weather. |
