INDYCAR unveiled renderings of new car today:
-100 pounds lighter with hybrid 20 pounds lighter and gearbox 25 pounds lighter
-should be faster
-more stable front wing for superspeedways
-teams no longer will design dampers. Teams have options from a single-source supplier
The climb on Alpe d'Huez further supports our previous estimates.
Pogacar likely needs a VO2max of ~99 ml/kg/min (95-103) to do that climb, assuming:
- 65 kg
- bike + equipment: 7.6 kg
- Efficiency: 22-24%
- 88% of VO2max during 35 minutes
