  • Once Upon a Wire Wheel
    Once Upon A Wire Wheel by Bernie and Norm Koglin This is the first in a series of articles recalling a few highlights from the fifty year history of the Chicago Region SCCA. Most of the information in this article is found in a history of the Club’s early years written by Fred Wacker some years ago. We also wish to thank Burdie Martin for the loan of his copies of the very earliest issues of PISTON PATTER which are an invaluable source. In the Beginning…… 1948- 1954 The term “sports car” would have meant very little to a vast majority of Americans in the years right after World War II. Then, MG TC’s began arriving in the U.S. and a few people started to take notice. Among them was Fred Wacker, who purchased one of the first little British cars in early 1948. In May of that year, Fred and Bud Seaverns drove the MG to Indiana-polis for the 500. After the race they were caught in the usual traffic jam, and came across Bill Spear and Sam Bailey, a couple of New Yorkers, in a Bentley. A mutual interest in their respective cars led to introductions, and in due course Fred and Bud heard of the “Sports Car Club of America” for the first time. Ownership of a “sports car” was an SCCA membership requirement at that time. Since Fred qualified in that respect, Bill and Sam suggested he become a member of the Club. After joining, Fred discovered there was no Chicago Region.

  • Bernard Rey, Präsident Des ING Renault F1 Team Die Ziele Für 2009
    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.

This historic F1 car made a name for itself in the streets of Monaco, where it regularly finished among the leaders of the 1966 -1972 editions of the Monaco Grand Prix Historique. The Chevron B16 # 4. No doubt one of the finest prototypes of the 70's. Ascott Collection is proud to have the privilege of offering for sale chassis No. 4, a B16 that is widely known for its authenticity and its history, with participations in the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1970 to its credit: in short, a car that has now acquired considerable rarity value.... Now that historic races have incorporated a new generation of racing cars, Ascott Collection will be exhibiting a 2009 ORECA FLM09 at the Historic Sportscar Racing stand. The HSR hosts a series of historic races on the other side of the Atlantic, including one of the world's finest historic races, the HSR Classic 24 Hours of Daytona.

  • Renault F1 Ou Comment Relever Les Défis Technologiques Des Véhicules De Série
    14 14 Focus Focus 15 15 POUR Alain PROST la TECHNIQUE A CHANGÉ LES COMPÉTENCES DES PILOTES Quelles différences voyez-vous entre les pilotes de Formule 1 de votre génération et ceux d’aujourd’hui ? 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. Renault F1 Rémi Taffin explique : « La batterie tecture du moteur pour adapter son cours des 3 dernières années, a été récupère la puissance du MGU-K limi- encombrement.

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.

  • We Celebrate One of the Great Racing Car Constructors
    LOLA AT 60 WE CELEBRATE ONE OF THE GREAT RACING CAR CONSTRUCTORS Including FROM BROADLEY TO BIRRANE GREATEST CARS LOLA’S SECRET WEAPON THE AUDI CHALLENGER The success of the Mk1 sports-racer, usually powered by the Coventry Climax 1100cc FWA engine, brought Lola Cars into existence. It overshadowed the similar e orts of Lotus boss Colin Chapman and remained competitive for several seasons. We believe it is one of designer Eric Broadleyʼs greatest cars, so turn to page 16 to see what our resident racer made of the original prototype at Donington Park. Although the coupe is arguably more iconic, the open version of the T70 was more successful. Developed in 1965, the Group 7 machine could take a number of di erent V8 engines and was ideal for the inaugural Can-Am contest in ʼ66. Champion John Surtees, Dan Gurney and Mark Donohue won races during the campaign, while Surtees was the only non-McLaren winner in ʼ67. The big Lola remains a force in historic racing.
