A channel dedicated to exploring all things Formula 1.
The Fan Car
Note: This is a re-upload of the same video I posted on 15th June, however I noticed there were some editing and animation errors with footage in the wrong place and some text animations not working as intended. I apologise if this made the video seem strange in places - hopefully it is all cleared up now.
1978, Brabham aimed to reignite their championship ambitions and catch Mario Andretti's Lotus 79 by amending their BT46 in a radical way. In this video we look at one of Gordon Murray and Formula 1's greatest technical innovations: the fan car.

The Porsche & Red Bull Story

In March 2023 Porsche announced it would not be pursuing their attempt to get onto the F1 grid any further. The strange part was that this was only 10 months after announcing its entry. So what exactly happened? This video provides a closer look into what happened when Porsche tried to enter Formula 1 with Red Bull and where it all went wrong.

This channel deserves more subscribers.
Thanks! I appreciate the support
And what Teo Fabi did gave him a sit on the Brabham Team in 1984.
Bernie putting pressure on World Champion Nelson Piquet and Riccardo Patrese back then.
Totally illegal.
nice video you diserve more addention
Awesome 😅😅
The fan had to clear air away at a greater velocity than the speed of the car, due to the narrowing of the venturi's. 55mph my arse.
Colin Chapman was so threatened by the design coz he know how efficient the fan is but in the end Ground Effect after that cost a life due to over experiment. Such an irony thou.
This is a great video..i already know the story about the fan car, but your calm narration and the sound design kept me watching. Excellent video, top job
May I ask, what music was used from 0:21?
It was a royalty free song from the Envato Elements site.
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it - although narration isn't something I'm particularly comfortable with!
These videos are awesome, keep it up!
Thanks for the support, I appreciate it!

Great material!
How is this channel so small?
I was there for practice at Indy, we saw the lower series races and F1 practice. It's a shame they couldn't race, they sounded so good against those old grandstands.
I've really enjoyed your videos so far. That no nonsense approach to your narration is a nice change to all those other channels who unnecessarily try to hype up every little detail. Looking forward to future content of yours 👍
continue to include backstories and politics and so on. usually we know what happened. but going deeper is what we need in my opinion. keep it interesting. Nice channel
Thanks for the feedback! 👍🏻
Agree,like the stuff we didn’t know
Great content, keep it up!
Thanks - I'll try!
Great content mate. I hope you keep this up for a very long time.
Thanks for the support, much appreciated 👍🏻
Hunt's comment about having 31 cars to choose from is hilarious.
Any chance you will talk about the 1982 San Marino Grand Prix where a lot of teams boycotted the race with the Ferraris dominating the race and what happened between Gilles and Pironi?
I'm certainly not finished with 1982: the FISA/FOCA war and the Gilles/Pironi relationship are definitely stories I'm interested in - and it seems so are other people. I'm making a video about something else at the moment but I'm sure I'll come back to those topics soon enough.
Great video. And honestly? The strike made sure that their negotiations worked. FISA and FOCA panicked without most of the field showing up. Drivers needed some control over their careers, otherwise they could be traded to random teams, or stuck in a terrible working environment, without the right to drive again should they up and leave. To have no cars on track was probably the best way it could've worked.
Interesting documentary. It was Jean Marie Balestre though, not Belestre.
Yes, you're right - I think I've confused myself on the spelling on that one a few times!
@TheFormula2023 No worries mate. I remember this well. I was 17 years old at the time and was a huge F1 fan. Not these days though......
At long last a REAL high quality motorsports youtube channel. You don't know how long I've waited to see this or how important this is in the grand scheme of auto racing channels on this platform. You deserve a medal dawg this is superb stuff
stop ya yappin'
I watched the video’s, they are very polished and high quality. I wish the best in your UA-cam career and i am subscriber no:260 Cheers
Incredibly well done summary. Reckon i'll subscribe and stay a long while! Very much looking forward to your future works. Keep it up!
I watched. I liked. And I subscribed. This was certainly better and far more accurate than the sort of rubbish Adrian Millard churns out.
Sulayem and Domenicali are small fish compared to Balestre and Ecclestone
I’m guessing Eddie Cheever was the one in the Bama shirt.
Well, at the end of the day the drivers got what they wanted.
Don’t fuck with niki
I can’t believe Oliver was that stupid as to openly threaten them like that. What a fool. Lauda and Pironi were quite right to raise their objections because the implications of signing were horrific for a driver’s career, though today we essentially have a system like this more or less by default. But it means that, unlike the way things were back then, today’s drivers are no longer able to race in other categories. If I’d been them, I wouldn’t have signed either. And incidentally, before everyone starts moaning about the FIA, FOCA showed themselves to be every bit as toxic, if not worse.
This was drivers were MEN not what we have today.
If they did it today, they’d still be considered as flannels. Which most of them are, you’re right, but maybe these should have been stoic, too?
I wonder if they were able to put a coherent sentence together back then as well.
Fabi sounds like weasel. A job for the mob ?
First RACE i ever Saw on TV. Some pictures on the video i remember from grandprix international magazine.
Kimi, DC, de la Rosa, Wurz & Montoya - the men who walked so Hamilton, Vettel & Max could run.
A big stink over a car racing sport
And you sat here and watched the video about it.
Since your already on 1982 you should do a video on Gilles Villeneuve’s career, maybe even Didier Pironi’s too since he gets so much hate due to the controversy
That's a great idea - thanks!
@@TheFormula2023 No problem, this video might have some useful clips if you decide to. Only onboard footage I've seen of Gilles. ua-cam.com/video/C5_iYlT74q4/v-deo.htmlsi=LBDbMG28Sv883xrb
@@TheFormula2023The 126C2, especially that later version with the pull rod front end was one of the great F1 cars but almost nobody knows about it. In a season where the team scored only one point from the first three races, missed the fifth race altogether because of Villeneuve’s fatal crash, missed the Swiss Grand Prix, ran six races with only one car and finished the season with a totally different driver lineup from what they started with, the fact that they still won the Constructors Championship was an phenomenal achievement. In Italy, then 42 year-old Mario Andretti, who had not driven in F1 for two years, put the car on pole. Pironi was stiff not to actually win the driver’s championship but missing the last five races made it pretty likely he would be overtaken. The 126C2 is a pretty under appreciated car. Just a thought bubble…
The pedant in me is compelled to say "Drivers' strike". Aside from that, great video! 👍
Thanks for your feedback - you're quite right! I've amended the title and thumbnail 👍
Absolutely great channel with very high quality videos. You need more views. You deserve it.
Thanks for your support - I appreciate it!
@@TheFormula2023 you really need to keep doing this videos. One day your channel will blow up i am very sure.
You can see the 18's influence on later championship winning cars. It had such a big impact on design of the later championships for Mclaren and Red Bull with it's blown diffuser. Sometimes you need to push the limits of technology and this one was out of the envelope with the current understanding at the time and physical techincal limits. Although it's a dud on paper it's much more important than that.
Happy to say I’m the 100th subscriber. Great video and I look forward to seeing this channel grow!
I subscribed because... Well its Rich. You got the energy!
Instant sub
Rich Energy coming and going, still feels like a fever dream 🙁🤕
This is a great, well structured video with helpful, good looking graphics. Coming form someone who was decently informed about their negotiations already, I found the content to be very accurate, yet not drawn out to pad the runtime, really just right. Also, always appreciate creators adding proper captions. Wishing you the best in your endeavors, looking forward to more coverage.
good video. earned a sub, good work
This is a fantastic video, well constructed and with excellent narration. Really looking forward to your follow up sharings. In comparison to some others, I enjoyed the slower pace transitions and fps in general. It made me focus more on what you were saying rather than being blasted constantly with pictures, flashy transitions etc. Thank you!
This was great. I assumed this was a bigger F1 channel by the quality of the video and editing. May your channel explode with popularity. Have a great weekend.
Subscriber #51! Great video although I would also like a little more FPS 😊
Good luck with the channel, keep this quality content up. 👍🏻
