Red Bull Red Bull Advanced Technologies RB17

Interesting that according to the article the 900 kg target is with fluids but WITHOUT fuel and driver. So curb weight will be higher. Estimated first delivery is end of 2026.

I'm surprised that there are still a small number of build slots left despite the outrageous price. The announcement of the car was 28th June 2022, so almost 2 years and 9 months ago.

Gray says he is not a fan of the supercarmaker habit of quoting meaningless “dry” weights of cars without the fluids they need to operate. So, the RB17 is weighed as an F1 car is: ready to go but without fuel or driver. The target, which the engineering team is on track to deliver, is under 900 kg, which is 1984 pounds.

The one true weight standard. Curb weigh has split into three different standards and dry weight is completely arbitrary.
When I'm the supreme leader, this is what everyone is using.

I'm having deja vu. Valkyrie team also let journalists drive the car in simulator, back in 2019. It might have even been the very same room. Although here I feel more confident that they will actually deliver.

Some stats from Jethro's two Silverstone GP sim sessions for posterity:

"T1" standard trim

• 1:32.2 best lap
• 3.9 g peak lateral (although earlier they said 3.7)
• 4.4 g decel

"TX" trim (confidentials, -10 mm RH)

• 1:26.2 best lap
• Hangar straight speed reaching car's Vmax (370 kph?)
• 4.5 g peak lateral
• 5+ g decel

I also spotted these Copse speeds showed during the sim session with TX trim (which doesn't necessarily mean it was that version of RB17, as editing mishaps can happen):

• breaking from 330 kph
• min speed: 235 kph

doesn't seem like much has changed from this angle

Hopefully it doesn’t get slower with each update. A certain other project started with F1 levels of performance and went to GT3 levels of performance.

RB17 is running 1:38 at Spa within Red Bull simulator according to Rob Gray.
