Global Motorsport Disciplines and Series APPENDIX Global Motorsport Disciplines and Series Table A1 Motorsport Disciplines Motorsport Discipline Description Autocross A circuit is laid out on a grass surface and cars compete individually against the clock. Autotest Cars compete alone, against the clock. The driver must negotiate a set route between obstacles, usually plastic pylons or cones. The surface is normally smooth, often tarmac. Car racing Cars compete against each other on purpose-built tarmac circuits like Silverstone or Brands Hatch. Drag racing The aim of drag racing is to cover a quarter mile (440 yards) as fast as possible from a standing start on tarmac. Hillclimb and sprint Two similar branches of motorsport. Each event takes place on a smooth sealed surface over a measured distance against the clock. Karting Karting is similar to car racing in that competitors race each other on purpose-built tarmac circuits. Karts are, however, smaller and more basic in appearance than racing cars. Off road This category includes a variety of events, including Trials, Competitive Safaris and Team Recovery Competitions, all of which take place over difficult terrain and call for specialist vehicles, normally with four-wheel drive. (Continued) 157 158 Table A1 (Continued) Motorsport Discipline Description Rallycross Rallycross takes place at permanent venues, using a mixture of surfaced and off-road sections. Cars compete against the clock in qualification heats, then against each other in finals. Rallying The most popular form of motorsport in Britain, perhaps because it involves ordinary-looking cars. It involves two people working together: a driver and a co-driver or navigator, and the cars normally run at one-minute intervals, competing against the clock rather than directly against each other. Trials The competitive element in a trial is the ability to climb gradients of varying difficulty. Each trial has several observed sections on private ground.

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".
