I came across this awesome video. I wonder if this could be implemented into the awesome 1986 f1 cars youtu.be/j1BpM8akHRU |

Does black smoke come out of the exhausts of racing engines when they are under power  . I don't remember seeing black smoke in real life. |

I think that happens only with diesel fuels, high octane race petrol won't burn with dark smoke.
EDIT: It will however, due to the very hot gases expelled, cause some transparent "blur" in the air.

Agreed. In the early 1970s you could get a bit of blue smoke if the engine had been over-filled with oil and it could also be a sign that the engine was going to fail soon. |

A guy in charge either with Audi or Peugeot once said something in the fashion of "no visible emissions are allowed. The night is dark, so you can't see smoke..."  |

I wonder if it’s also possible to reverse engineer the downshift flames to work for the up shift

The darker smoke was due to the overly rich mixture they ran in qualy only so that the engine would survive long enough.
During races this smoke was not present, because they had to run lean. The same thing applies to flames on the over run in the upshit, the ECUs would cut the fuel back enough so that doesnt happen.
So i would prioritize race conditions over qualy conditions graphics wise, even because what we broadcast is the actual races.

If you have a separate HDV for all qualifying trim cars I can make the exhaust smoke work only for qualy but since it's not streamed, no point. |
