  • Ok I Have Absolutely No Knowledge of Aerodynamics but Here Are My Thoughts on the Fw 26 Starting from the Front and Working
    Williams BMW FW26 Technical Review by Craig Scarborough Image Credit:Scarborough Even though McLaren had run their new car in December testing, their decision not to formally launch the car gave the privilege to Williams BMW to put on their new suits (and boots) and be the first to present their car to the world's media. For several years Williams have produced evolutionary cars and with engine rule changes and car that by the seasons end in 2003 was as fast as any, little was expected to surprise on the new car. But this was wide of the mark as the cover was drawn from the car the sharp intake of breath from the audience reflected striking nose of the new car. Clearly Williams conventional, if independent school of aerodynamics has found a completely new solution. If the nose rightly takes the spotlight, other areas of the car remain conservative with some areas revised and not receiving the attention they perhaps deserve. 2004 Rules Aside from the timetable changes to the practice and qualifying sessions, there have been few technical changes for 2004. Of these the most far reaching has been the move to a single engine per weekend format. Under previous rules precautionary engine changes were over night or following a failure, resulting in up to a handful of engine being used per car over a race weekend. With most of the teams support the FIA suggested a single engine could be used to reduce costs, applying a "10 grid place" penalty to any car requiring an engine change over the weekend.

  • An Excerpt from Chapter 13 Winning Is Not Enough by Sir Jackie Stewart
    An excerpt from Chapter 13 Winning Is Not Enough by Sir Jackie Stewart “Look,” said Mark, aged six. “There’s Daddy’s autograph.” We didn’t know what he was taking about, but we turned to see our young son was pointing at the instantly recognizable blue oval-shaped emblem of the Ford Motor Company. He had so often seen me wearing racing overalls with the Ford insignia, or appearing at Ford events, or featuring in Ford advertisements that he had grown to assume their logo also represented me. In fact, I was first contracted to the company in 1964 and I would remain so until 2004. First as a racing driver, then a public affairs representative, a sales and marketing spokesman, a vehicle dynamic assessor, a concept design consultant and lastly a strategic adviser in training engineers, my forty years with Ford represented the most significant commercial association of my life. It began in October 1964 when I turned up at the British Motor Show at Earls Court, London, as a young racing driver hoping to make some contacts in the motor industry. These were early days, and I had decided to drive south from Scotland through the night because I didn’t think I could afford to stay in a London hotel. Even so, I had three names written on a scrap of paper—Dick Jefferies from Dunlop, Geoff Murdoch from Esso and Walter Hayes from Ford—and I hoped that if I could meet any of them, they might be able to help develop my career and hopefully improve my financial situation.

    When the turning gets tough . 13 Mar 1993 Mathematics showed there is an ideal way to corner in motor racing. Only the drivers who apply this technique instinctively will become champions Getting to the top in motor racing requires the ability to drive a car consistently close to the performance limits of its tyres, engine and chassis: the sport ruthlessly weeds out those who cannot raise their car-control skills to the highest levels. But a driver who reaches the top international level (such as Formula One or Indycar racing) finds that most competitors possess very similar abilities. So what marks out the champions? Virtually anyone can take a car to its limits on a straight track. Most races are won and lost where the cars are moving slowest - at the corners. The skill comes in choosing a speed and path that loses the least time negotiating them. This is where champions show their mettle. Figure 1 shows a simplified 'performance boundary curve' for one possible car and corner combination at a particular speed. Representing all possible speeds would require a family of similar curves or a three-dimensional picture. A skilled driver taking a corner slows down (applies longitudinal deceleration), corners (applies lateral acceleration) and then accelerates out and away (applies longitudinal acceleration). To control the car, the driver must ensure that the forces acting on the tyres are within the limits of their traction, and this involves a trade-off between the forces of braking and turning. As the driver corners, increasing lateral acceleration, the available longitudinal acceleration falls: high acceleration while turning too sharply causes a skid.

    11 Cockhall Close – Litlington – Hertfordshire – England SG8 0RB telephone: + 44 (0) 1763 853985 email: [email protected] Gulf Oil Dragracing `Choice of Goodwood’ at Festival of Speed Litlington, Cambridgeshire, UK, 3rd August 2013 The Goodwood Festival of Speed was founded in 1993 by the Earl of March in order to bring motor racing back to the Goodwood estate — a location steeped in British motor racing history. The Festival of Speed is now the largest motoring garden party in the world – a unique summer weekend that brings together an impossibly heady mix of cars, motorcycles, stars and motor sport ‘royalty’ to create the largest automotive culture event in the world. More than 250 signed on photographers (and many TV crews) from around the world was testament to the global interest in the event. The team was personally invited by Lord March to show the record crowds of around 200,000 what a 1500HP Nitromethane Top Fuel Bike both looked and sounded like. And it did not fail to impress, drawing large numbers of amazed visitors to its pit area, for warm ups on nitro and whilst on its way to the holding area prior to the demonstration run `Up the Hill’. And it was not only the general public who were impressed, members of all the F1 teams in attendance spent time taking pictures and scrutinising the engineering detail with even iconic GP riders taking time to try out the bike for size. -2- The Gulf Oil Dragracing – Grand Prix Originals pit area was located in the F1 paddock where the latest exotica and their drivers were on show for the world to see, hear and touch.

  • Inspiration Presentation
    Inspiration Presentation Aaron Irwin My Influence • For my presentation I chose Murray Walker. Famous commentator and journalist within the Motorsport world. • Walker commentated on races from 1948- 2001 and always displayed enthusiasm. • He’s my inspiration because he was so passionate about Formula One his whole life. Mindmapping I created a mindmap to lay out all my ideas for my project, such as what to include in every section of my Immersive Web Experience (IWE) Mindmapping • By mapping out my IWE, I’ve found it easier to compartmentalise the aspects of Murray Walker’s long career. • My idea is take the reader on a progression of his career, beginning in his youth, showing his brief army and advertising career before focusing mainly on his motorsport commentary career. • However should the reader decide to skip to a certain section they are able to. This is my home page for my IWE. When readers open the file, this is the page which will greet them. A loading bar will appear across the bottom to let the reader know when it’s loaded. In order to start the IWE, the reader will click on the ‘Go, Go, Go!’ section. I chose this due to it being one of Murray’s famous catchphrases when commentating. In the bottom left corner is an option to mute the background noise, which will be famous snippets from his commentary career. Once the button is clicked it will take you to this page. Which gives a brief overview of why he’s so famous. Again commentary will be playing in the background with the option to mute it.
