(2008) THE EDGES Honda has always maintained that racing is in the company’s DNA. While it prepares to return to the pinnacle of motorsport, Formula 1, as partner to McLaren from 2015 on, Honda is also demonstrating its race-bred pedigree in other areas. So much so that the Civic Type R Concept car recently unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show is being hailed as ‘a racing car for the road’ and the most extreme example of this popular vehicle yet conceived. “Type R represents Honda’s racing spirit,” said the new car’s chief stylist Masaru Hasegawa. “It is built with a passion for motorsport.” A racing car is, in many respects, the ultimate marriage of form and function – watch the civic type r and the Civic Type R Concept reflects that concept revealed: combination in dramatic style with a front http://youtu.be/QQyiXqVlA8A spoiler to add down-force, vertical side wings and a new rear spoiler with the tail lights integrated into the rear wing itself. The car’s lines are due in part to extensive testing at one of the world’s most famous race tracks, the Nürburgring in Germany, and will give a serious clue to the looks of the new car due for European release in 2015.

  • Sidepodcast Transcript
    Days that Shook the F1 World (Part 2) – Death of Ayrton Senna Welcome to the second episode of Sidepodcast’s latest series – Days That Shook The F1 World. Yesterday we looked at the US Grand Prix in 2005, and today we’ll focus on another earth-shattering day in F1 History. This time it’s May 1st 1994. Formula 1 is synonymous with the warning: “Motorsport is dangerous.” And it is, although it used to be a lot worse. Sir Jackie Stewart’s autobiography talks about a period in his racing career where he lost over 50 friends and colleagues in ten years. In the 50s and 60s, a serious crash in racing meant terrible injuries or death. And the trend continued until 1994 when the death of Ayrton Senna put F1 safety on the front page. Senna was a legend, a hero, a proper champion. He didn’t always do things by the book, but he was one of life’s good guys. He took the usual route to F1, through karting and Formula 3, then dominated Formula 1 for the ten years he participated. With many wins and three championships already under his belt, Senna started the 1994 season badly. He’d recently made the switch to Williams but the Renault powered car was a bit of a handful and he retired for the first couple of races of the season. Arriving for the third race at Imola, Senna was hoping for some good luck. On Friday, Rubens Barrichello was seriously injured and hospitalised, preventing him from completing the race weekend.

  • History of F1 – 1990S
    History of F1 – 1990s Welcome to Sidepodcast’s History of F1. So far, the development of the Formula 1 World Championships has been pretty much about the cars, with a few squabbles between drivers along the way. The 1990s saw some real star talent emerging, with personalities both loveable and not so much. The 1990s were a year of change, innovation, tragedy and triumph. Team Williams introduced the first car, designed by Patrick Head, to have a semi‐automatic gearbox and traction control, but reliability was still a major problem. Eventually, Williams managed to conquer their mechanical troubles, and added more computer‐control to the car, leading to success in the next couple of years. Williams took the championship in '92 and '93, with Nigel Mansell and then Alain Prost, who had just returned from a season off. Michael Schumacher joined the Formula 1 circuit in 1991, qualifying 7th on his debut for Team Jordan, although he didn’t get past the first lap. Just one race later, he defected to Benetton. With the major players of previous seasons now retired, Schumacher was the main rival for Ayrton Senna, but it was not going to be easy. The points system changed in 1990 so that all Formula 1 races were included in the championship and a win would gain you 10 points rather than 9 points. The FIA also declared that the driver aids, such as traction control, were having a negative impact on the impression of F1. Where was the driver skill? So, the aids were banned, despite Formula 1 getting more and more exciting.
