V 10's and their angles.....

[shazzman]

hi People, i've allways been fascinated with the fact that the V10's in F1 are nolonger a boring 72 degrees...But doin some thinking into that... if they are say 90 degrees, with 10 cyl... what sort of angle would they have on the crank? Cause its a 4 stroke which means 720 degrees to a power cycle.. What i wanna know is what sort of firring order would they have?? anyone got any educated guesses..??

Starting with the front throw straight up and defining 0 degrees the next throws working back will be at 144-219-291-72 degrees respectively. Bank firing orders will be thus: 1-2-4-5-3. As for the cross bank FO relationships, Think. Hard. There are a limited number of realistic possibilities.

Wow,desmo is it really that simple?I'm not doubting you,i'm just too bad at maths to be bothered to try.
There was a thread going on for ages a few months back,trying to work out different v10's firing orders!
