The day before yesterday 166 Notes 175 Images 191 Introduction and acknowledgements POLITICS AND SPORT are by definition incompatible, and they're combustible when mixed. The 1930s proved that: the Winter Olympics in Germany in 1936, when the President of the International Olympic Committee threatened to cancel the Games unless the anti-semitic posters were all taken down now, whatever Adolf Hitler decrees; the 1936 Summer Games in Berlin and Hitler's look of utter disgust when Jesse Owens, a negro, won the 100 metres; the World Heavyweight title fight in 1938 between Joe Louis, a negro, and Germany's Max Schmeling which carried racial undertones and overtones. The fight lasted 2 minutes 4 seconds, and in that time Louis knocked Schmeling down four times. They say that some of Schmeling's teeth were found embedded in Louis's glove... Motor racing, a dangerous but genteel activity in the 1920s and early 1930s, was touched by this, too, and touched hard. The combustible mixture produced two Grand Prix races at Donington Park, in 1937 and 1938, which were just as dramatic, just as sinister and just as full of foreboding. This is the full story of those races.

    Technical Note Document Number CTN0003 Title Basic GPS Beacon Setup with MoTeC's Dash Loggers* Approved By JA Revision Date Prepared By Change History 1.0 23/09/2009 OFK 1.1 25/09/2009 AW corrections in GPS coordinates table 1.2 16/04/2013 YK Automatic GPS Beacon (automatic venue detection) 1.3 7/08/2019 TL Added note re: CTN0029, minor text corrections *See CTN0029 for GPS Beacon setup in MoTeC’s later model C1/L1 Display Loggers. Introduction This document describes the procedure to set up or change the GPS Lap Beacons in your MoTeC Dash Logger (e.g. SDL, ADL2). The MoTeC Dash Manager software can place a lap beacon at a definable location for automatic lap time generation. In addition to the start/finish beacon, the GPS can produce up to 4 split beacons, enabling the racer to split up the track for accurate sector times. You only need to set up your beacon points once per venue. The location will be saved within the venue file on your PC. When you go back to a track, all you need to do is load the venue file of the track you are racing at and send it to the Dash Logger. Below are instructions on how to do this. Scope GPS Lap Beacons work with all MoTeC monochrome Dash Loggers* (except first generation ADLs). The system requires a GPS receiver that transmits data via RS232 (NMEA messages RMC and GGA) at a minimum of 5 Hz. Vehicle Speed Trigger Vehicle speed must be above 20kmh to trigger a GPS beacon.

  • Racing Towards a Sustainable Future a Review of the Sustainability Performance of International Racing Circuits
    RACING TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE A REVIEW OF THE SUSTAINABILITY PERFORMANCE OF INTERNATIONAL RACING CIRCUITS Edition June 2021 Racing towards a sustainable future FOREWORD I have been involved with the safety and sustainability of racing tracks for many years now, as a driver, GPDA Chairman and a circuit designer. And while I would argue that big improvements have been made in terms of safety, I also know that there is a long way to go in terms of fully embracing sustainability for racing tracks around the globe. Though circuits have started to change the way in which they approach sustainability, more guidance on what sustainability means and how a circuit can be sustainable are needed. This is why I welcome this new research and the data-driven proposal of the Sustainable Circuits Index™, highlighting indicators from the wider sustainability and sport ecosystem, encouraging best practice and calling attention to the importance of transparent reporting and independent validation. Motorsport has historically been defined by its commitment to innovation and excellence through competition. It’s now critically important for our sport to demonstrate its commitment to sustainability through collaboration. This paper highlights the new metrics for success in this global effort and provides circuits with the tools they need to help win the race for our planet, a race which we can only win together. Alexander Wurz Former F1 Driver, GPDA Chairman, and Consultant on Road Safety and Circuit Design Sustainability is one of the key issues of today’s society as confirmed by the increasing attention of governments, media, academics, and industry.
