  • SUMMER 2021 SPRING 2020 Chairman’S Thoughts
    MARSHALS’ The newsletter of the South East Region of the British Motorsport P OST Marshals Club SUMMER 2021 SPRING 2020 Chairman’s Thoughts Hello and welcome to the Summer. Yep, it’s official our banner above says summer so there is no excuse. With the ever-changing landscape that is covid I’m a bit cautious about the content of this introduction but hopefully we are heading in the right direction and with the return of ‘trainees’ (perhaps soon a grading name consigned to history…) and ‘taster days’ it’s beginning to feel a little more normal. On that point, taster days are an important tool for our recruitment teams and feedback from some attendees at the recent Brands Hatch Speedfest meeting (the first for a long while…) was highly positive, as can be seen from the following comments: “I thoroughly enjoyed the day and the contribution from the post crew were invaluable to making the day enjoyable and learning about the different roles / responsibilities. I’d definitely like to volunteer for more events and will join the BMMC”… “Great day! Give me more! Guys were great! Good fun, yes, give me some more! Good instructions and guidance”… “Thank you so much for yesterday, I haven't stopped smiling since getting home. Everyone on post 6 were just absolutely amazing! I can't fault anything! I learnt so much and was so happy to get involved with as much as I could! I really enjoyed flagging too!! Had the best day ever!” I must also start though with some thanks.

  • ASMMR Newsletter Vol 2 Issue 4
    Volume 2, Issue 4 May 2010 The Australasian Society for Motorsports Medicine and Rescue Contents Race control Clinical review Recent race results Worldwide motorsport update Caught by the cameras Race control Welcome to the May edition of the ASMMR newsletter. The various racing categories are moving on a pace and there is plenty to talk about in the world of motorsport medicine and rescue. This issue takes a look at some track safety devices; namely the run-off areas and gravel traps – the pros, the cons and the downright scary. There is a review of recent race events and a few highlights from other aspects of motorsporting news. If you have ever wanted to know what a tank slapper, a lambda reading or reactive suspension was, then skip to the Wikipedia motorsports terminology link. Good luck. Matthew Mac Partlin Technical review Track safety devices – Run-offs and gravel traps Competitors and race vehicles can be fully prepared with safety equipment, but at some point or other a vehicle will unintentionally veer off the track. Sometimes the driver will be able to gather it up and rejoin the race, if there is sufficient space to do so. However, there is often a conflict between race track safety, spectator friendliness and geography. The safest track would probably be a straight road, with a wide run-off to either side and at either end and have no more Copyright Matthew Mac Partlin, 2010 Page 1 of 9 than a couple of cars competing on it at any one time. But it wouldn’t be terribly interesting to compete in or to watch.

  • Porsche 919 Hybrid English.Indd
    Porsche 919 Hybrid Return to top-level sport Porsche is making its comeback to the top-level motorsport arena: with the new 919 Hybrid the sports car brand is sending a platform for pioneering technology to the top category of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) with the undisputed seasonal highlight of the 24-hour Le Mans race. Porsche's reputation precedes it at this venue: with 16 overall victories under its belt, the brand holds the record for this, the most famous endurance race in the world. In 2014 Porsche is returning to the top-level class endurance race after a 16-year absence - namely Le Mans Prototypes (LMP1). Matthias Müller, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG explains: "The new and revolutionary efficiency regulations for this class were what prompted us to take this step. In 2014 it is not going to be the fastest contender who is going to win the sports car world championship and Le Mans, but the car that gets furthest with the defined amount of energy. And it is precisely this challenge that the automotive industry has to face. The 919 Hybrid is like a high speed research laboratory and the most complex racing car Porsche has ever built." The new WEC regulations for the LMP1 racing car gives engineers an unusual amount of leeway and demands pioneering technology, such as hybridisation, downsizing engines and consistent lightweight construction. This is all particularly relevant for the development of future generations of factory-spec sports cars. Maximum sporting performance and highest efficiency are at the heart of "Porsche Intelligent Performance".

    26. - 28. 8. 2011 www.CzechRally.com RALLYRALLY GUIDEGUIDE 1 Vážení přátelé motoristického sportu, Barum Czech Rally Zlín má dlouholetou tradici, v letošním roce se bude konat již po jedenačtyřicáté. Rallysport je v České republice nesmírně populárním sportovním odvětvím, o čemž svědčí velké zástupy nadšených motoristických fandů podél rychlostních zkoušek, kterých se kolem trati jen schází několik desítek tisíc. Automobilová rally, která má centrum v moravském městě Zlíně, je od roku 1983 součástí mistrovství Evropy jezdců a od roku 2007 patří také do prestižního světového seriálu Intercontinental Rally Challenge (IRC) organizovaného s výraznou mediální podporou promotéra šampionátu, satelitní televizní stanice Eurosport. S jejím příchodem soutěž prošla dalším velkým posunem, který je patrný zejména na kvalitě startovního pole. To v minulém roce bylo bez nadsázky nejlepší v celé své historii - ve Zlíně se objevilo celkem 27 vozů progresivně se rozvíjející kategorie Super 2000. Tento počet jinde ve světě doposud nebyl dosud překonán a Zlín se může pyšnit tímto neoficiálním světovým rekordem. Vítězem loňského ročníku se podruhé stal Belgičan Freddy Loix, který se Škodou Fabií S2000 reprezentoval barvy domácí tovární stáje Škoda Motorsport. Dlouholetým partnerem Barum Czech Rally Zlín je tradiční česká pneumatikářská společnost Barum. Propojení nejúspěšnější domácí značky pneumatik s předním českým motoristickým závodem vytváří výhodné podmínky pro pozitivní vnímání jak pneumatik Barum, tak samotné soutěže. Stejně jako v minulosti bude značka Barum hlavním partnerem i při jedenačtyřicátém ročníku zlínské rally. Ta se během let propracovala až na samotný vrchol motoristických akcí v České republice a každoročně je nositelem řady novinek na scénu českého rallysportu. Pravidelné vysoké hodnocení rally z organizačního a především bezpečnostního hlediska přineslo zasloužené ocenění, neboť Světová rally komise při FIA zařadila Barum Czech Rally Zlín opět do seriálu elitních soutěží evropského šampionátu.
