    What is the reason that Pakistani car is slower????

    Hey guys....i`v seen the previous post and its replies. Dont you think that its better to work hard n sort out the missing elements??
    What is the reason that Pakistani car has always proved to be one of the slower cars on track? If anyone of you have noticed that Adam is always proven to be slower on straight line, while others passes him like he`s riding on his bicycle. As far as i`v seen, Adam is an aggressive driver. He`s not the only one involoved in most of the accidents. So its better to think positively, neither to blame others talent nor our own people.
    There must have been a lack of technicalilty in our team, as i`v also seen the interview of the seat holder of A1 Team Pakistan, Mr Arif Hussain. I was saying that we dont have technicians upto the mark as it is required...

    Best guess on the reason he's slower in a straight line is that he's running more wing. Let's face it, he really isn't the best driver on the grid. More wing gives you more downforce and somewhat more stability to the car through the corners, but increasing drag on the straights.

    Sometimes, a car specifically is the weakest link. I have the feeling that was the case with Ireland last year, Malaysia this year and Australia the last 3 seasons.

    Team Pakistan wasable to perform well during season 1 because a lot of teams/ drivers made a lot of mistakes and Adam Khan did not.

    During season 3 however, all the other teams had evolved. Simply staying out of trouble only helped him once, and delivered one point.

    In all fairness, it must be said that Adam hasn't been racing for a whole year during season 2.

    So, I think in Team Pakistan's case: Adam Khan is now the limiting factor. But he will learn and improve.

    The reason that the Paki car was slower is various

    It's basically a pile up..

    Being overtaken on a straight is not primairy a wing setup issue, the main
    reason is the exit speed from the previous corner. This is caused allready in the
    pit, the feedback of the driver and the interpetation of his engineer are important
    for the handling of the car, but if this is not right there will be speed lost
    in the corners and therefore on the straights because the exit speed
    out of a corner is too low.

    All has to do with each other.
