Of course as he is new to this racing lark, I had to invest in his prospective ability and buy cars for each class we race, a new DS controller and of course a pit box to put it all in, a not inconsiderable investment it has to be said, when I also have to part with the equivalent money spent on him on the other two girls! Due to his inexperience and age, he is permitted to run with magnets in his cars and Chris this week christened him with the title above, as in just a few weeks he is beginning to grasp the concept of car control and at times can keep up with some of us running with no magnets until his concentration lapses. This has also now meant that I have had to return to my log cabin and get our home track back up and running for him to practice on, albeit a Digital set up and slightly more complicated than the club track, also as it is his and Rachel’s birthday imminently a “Scalextric” party is now on the way, with some of his mates coming around for a day of carnage, sorry racing on the home track. Despite protests, all the cars to be raced will be Super Resistant and some of the scenery will be getting removed, although I think more may get removed throughout the racing, but hey isn’t this some of the things that slot cars are all about? A bit of fun and of course camaraderie, not to mention it has to be better than sitting in front of a TV playing games? Until next month.

For 2016 we get two more solo releases: C3669 in black and green and C3704 in blue and yellow. At £25 each they represent good value as an additional theme for an existing set. I’ve not tried crashing either yet but, in order to provide differing appearances across these bargain racers, the nose elements are separate to the main body.

    Bernard Rey, Präsident des ING Renault F1 Team Die Ziele für 2009 Die Saison 2008 hat bestätigt, dass Renault an der Spitze der Königsklasse zu Hause ist. Nach einem enttäuschenden Start in die Saison bündelte das Team alle Kräfte, bewies in der zweiten Saisonhälfte beispiellosen Kampfeswillen und feierte in Singapur und Japan zwei Siege. Diese Ergebnisse unterstreichen den Erfolgshunger des ING Renault F1 Teams, der in der Vorbereitungsphase auf die neue Saison als unerschöpflicher Motivationsquell diente. Unsere beiden Fahrer für 2009 stehen fest und erst jüngst haben wir in neue, hochmoderne Fertigungs- und Entwicklungsstätten investiert – und damit eine deutliche Aussage hinsichtlich unserer Ambitionen für die kommende Saison getätigt: Wir wollen ganz vorne mitfahren und ein Auto auf die Strecke bringen, das um Podiumsplätze und Siege kämpfen kann. Unser Entwicklungsprogramm schreitet stetig voran und wir haben allen Grund, fest an das Erreichen dieser Ziele zu glauben. Wir gehen die neue Saison daher äußerst optimistisch und entschlossen an. Das ING Renault F1 Team ist der lebendige Beweis für die Fähigkeit unseres Konzerns, auch auf höchster Ebene hervorragende Ergebnisse und Erfolge zu feiern. Das Team kann sich daher bei allen Herausforderungen, die in diesem Jahr vor uns liegen, der uneingeschränkten Unterstützung aller Mitarbeiter und Partner sicher sein. Interview mit Flavio Briatore, Geschäftsführender Direktor des ING Renault F1 Teams Wie lautete Ihr Fazit zur Saison 2008, in deren Verlauf dem ING Renault F1 Team ein beeindruckendes Comeback gelang? Ich bin stolz auf die Arbeit, die das Team im vergangenen Jahr geleistet hat. Wir erlebten einen schwierigen Start in die Saison, aber keiner von uns gab auf – ganz im Gegenteil.

Les pilotes actuels ne font pas le même travail de développement que ceux de mon époque. Ils doivent comprendre les nombreux systèmes qui influent sur le pilotage. Lorsque je pilotais des Formules 1, ma parole avait plus d’importance car les ingénieurs disposaient d’un nombre restreint de capteurs embarqués. Les pilotes peuvent aujourd’hui recevoir des informations sur la conduite en temps réel alors qu’à mon époque nous ne pouvions qu’analyser des courbes de vitesse après la course. Ce qui n’a pas changé, c’est qu’un pilote doit toujours être capable de faire des tours rapides. Les pilotes avaient-ils plus de pouvoir de décision ? En course par exemple, nous décidions nous même du moment de changement des pneus, et les mécaniciens devaient toujours se tenir prêts à intervenir, alors qu’aujourd’hui tout est résultat de calculs qui intègrent aussi des paramètres de stratégie de course par rapport aux autres concurrents. Le bagage technique des pilotes doit-il être différent ? Grâce aux nombreuses données récoltées, des pilotes très jeunes arrivent maintenant à gagner en Formule 1 alors que cela était impossible quand je cou- rais car il fallait d’abord acquérir des connaissances pour bien régler le châssis.

  • Historia Tissot I Wyścigów Samochodowych
    HISTORIA TISSOT I WYŚCIGÓW SAMOCHODOWYCH Koncepcja wyścigów samochodowych jest bardzo prosta: każdy uczestnik wyścigu rusza w tym samym momencie, a zwycięzcą zostaje ten, który w jak najkrótszym czasie pokona określony dystans. O zwycięstwie i porażce decydują nie tylko umiejętności kierowcy, ale także wydajność jego samochodu. Wyścigi samochodowe to świat, w którym pasja, precyzja i innowacje techniczne odgrywają kluczowe znaczenie. To samo tyczy się szwajcarskiej marki zegarmistrzowskiej Tissot, której nieustanne dążenie do technicznej perfekcji, widoczne od początku istnienia firmy w 1853 roku, wyraża się w jej motto „Innovators by tradition”. ZEGARKI TISSOT WYBIERANE PRZEZ KIEROWCÓW Podpisana fotografia Harry’ego Zweifela, 1958 Wspólna historia Tissot i wyścigów samochodowych rozpoczyna się, gdy Harry Zweifel, Mistrz Szwajcarii 1957 roku, znany później, jako „wspinacz ze Szwajcarii” i „ukochany kierowca wyścigowy Szwajcarii”, w 1958 roku wysłał do Tissot fotografię, na której napisał „Meine Tissot ist an jedem Rennen dabei” („Mój Tissot jest ze mną na każdym wyścigu”). Choć samochodami ścigano się już od ponad pół wieku, to rywalizacja na torze zaczęła zyskiwać na popularności, dopiero w latach 50-tych, XX wieku. W 1965 roku, marka Tissot stworzyła męski zegarek, inspirowany wyścigami samochodowymi - Tissot PR 516. Jego opatentowana bransoleta miała otwory nawiązujące do stylistyki kierownic wyścigowych, a innowacja Tissot była potem nie raz naśladowana przez wiele innych marek zegarmistrzowskich. Od strony technicznej model, dzięki zawieszonemu mechanizmowi, wyróżniał się wysoką odpornością na uderzenia w osi pionowej i z boku. Właśnie temu rozwiązaniu Tissot PR 516 zawdzięcza swoją nazwę. PR oznacza Particularly Resistant – Wyjątkowo odporny. Tissot PR 516, 1965 Katalog Tissot PR 516, 1966 Manufaktura Tissot, 1966 Premierze Tissot PR 516 towarzyszyła również nagradzana kampania reklamowa.
