WOMEN MOTORSPORT IS NO LONGER A MEN-ONLY CLUB: TWO WOMEN FROM DALLARA TELL US HOW THEY BECAME DESIGNERS AND DEPARTMENT HEADS, BY FOLLOWING THEIR PASSION FOR MOTOR CARS

FORMULA SAE ENGINEERS HIT THE TRACK

FOR THIRTY YEARS, ENGINEERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD HAVE BEEN COMPETING IN THE FOMULA SAE CATEGORY, CHALLENGING EACH OTHER ON THE TRACK, DEVELOPING THEIR OWN PROJECTS AND LEARNING ABOUT TEAMS, BUDGETS AND COM- MUNICATIONS. AN EXCELLENT WAY OF DEVELOPING TALENT AND SKILLS, EVEN IN THOSE PARTICIPANTS WHO WILL NEVER GO ON TO A CAREER IN MOTORSPORTS.

LUCA FILIPPI “MORE EXCITEMENT WITH DALLARA THAN IN AN F.1 CAR”

THE ITALIAN RACER, WHO HAS DRIVEN ALL THE GP2S PRODUCED AT VARANO, OFFERS US AN EXCLUSIVE, DETAILED COMPARISON OF EVERY SINGLE MODEL

ith more than 100 GP2 races powerful as the GP2. A few months In 2008, following the conclusion of between the Main and Asia earlier I had tested the Minardi F.1, but the three year cycle from 2005 - 2007, WSeries under his belt, Luca surprisingly it was the Dallara that Dallara introduced a new car for the Filippi has more experience than any made the greater impression on me. GP2 category. Did you like it? other driver in this category. In fact, The Minardi was the easier to drive of “The single-seater was completely he started racing in 2006, the year the two thanks to the traction control, different.

This resulted in a every single Dallara designed and important kit … dramatic loss of load when fo llowing built for GP2. Here’s his analysis: “Which seemed to me to be exactly the another car, with all the re sulting right solution. The load at the rear of difficulties. It was a more sophisticated “I drove the first GP2 single-seater at the car was increased and we gained Dallara, with elegant aerodynamics the end of the 2005 season, during a one second per lap.

And finally, the third version: what’s your opinion? “It’s a big step forward. The body, which is the same one, has been stiffened, it does not have the ground effect, but the extractor is so wide that the Dallara has excellent grip. The front wing is large and wide, and this helps you to stay in the slipstream of the cars in front of you. The Mechachrome gearbox has been replaced with a Hewland, which is smaller, leaving more space for the extractor. The suspension system is largely unchanged, but overall the car is a great improvement. It requires a clean, sensitive driving style and I’m very enthusiastic about it. I also like the new steering wheel, which is small and has rubber grips”.
