  • First Carmel-By-The-Sea Concours Story by Michael T
    August 29th, 2007 First Carmel-by-the-Sea Concours Story by Michael T. Lynch A Free Event at Monterey With prices for some events now at $200 per person, Monterey Peninsula’s week of automotive festivities is sometimes out of reach for many enthusiasts. We report here on two events that are free to the public, but make no compromise in presenting some of the finest examples of automotive design and engineering seen during the week. At 11:00 AM on a clear Tuesday morning, during a run of the best weather ever seen during the Monterey Peninsula’s legendary annual festival of the automobile, a new star was born. As crowds stood amidst the distinctive architecture and towering pines shadowing Carmel’s Ocean Avenue shops, restaurants and galleries, Daniel Rodriguez, the retired New York policeman who inspired the country after the September 11 attacks, took the stage. His flawless rendition of the Star Spangled Banner officially opened the Carmel-by-the-Sea Concours on the Avenue and was followed by a flyover of three L-39 jets. The Bernardus hors d'ouvres await the crowd at the Monday night Carmel Concours entrants' and VIP party at the Carmel Plaza. Credit: Gary Geiger When the stunned crowd again lowered their eyes to the street, 130 landmark automobiles produced during the almost unbroken 25 years of prosperity following World War II surrounded them. Cars present were associated with names from automotive history like Carroll Shelby, Jim Hall, Augie Pabst, A.J. Foyt, Bob Bondurant, Briggs Cunningham, Phil Walters and John Fitch, and one Cadillac carried Ike and Mamie Eisenhower to Ike’s first presidential inauguration.

  • ACES WILD ACES WILD the Story of the British Grand Prix the STORY of the Peter Miller
    ACES WILD ACES WILD The Story of the British Grand Prix THE STORY OF THE Peter Miller Motor racing is one of the most 10. 3. BRITISH GRAND PRIX exacting and dangerous sports in the world today. And Grand Prix racing for Formula 1 single-seater cars is the RIX GREATS toughest of them all. The ultimate ambition of every racing driver since 1950, when the com­ petition was first introduced, has been to be crowned as 'World Cham­ pion'. In this, his fourth book, author Peter Miller looks into the back­ ground of just one of the annual qualifying rounds-the British Grand Prix-which go to make up the elusive title. Although by no means the oldest motor race on the English sporting calendar, the British Grand Prix has become recognised as an epic and invariably dramatic event, since its inception at Silverstone, Northants, on October 2nd, 1948. Since gaining World Championship status in May, 1950 — it was in fact the very first event in the Drivers' Championships of the W orld-this race has captured the interest not only of racing enthusiasts, LOONS but also of the man in the street. It has been said that the supreme test of the courage, skill and virtuosity of a Grand Prix driver is to w in the Monaco Grand Prix through the narrow streets of Monte Carlo and the German Grand Prix at the notorious Nürburgring. Both of these gruelling circuits cer­ tainly stretch a driver's reflexes to the limit and the winner of these classic events is assured of his rightful place in racing history.

Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Archival Collection 26 Title: Karl E. Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Creator: Ludvigsen, Karl E. Call Number: Archival Collection 26 Quantity: 931 cubic feet (514 flat archival boxes, 98 clamshell boxes, 29 filing cabinets, 18 record center cartons, 15 glass plate boxes, 8 oversize boxes). Abstract: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers 1905-2011 contain his extensive research files, photographs, and prints on a wide variety of automotive topics. The papers reflect the complexity and breadth of Ludvigsen’s work as an author, researcher, and consultant. Approximately 70,000 of his photographic negatives have been digitized and are available on the Revs Digital Library. Thousands of undigitized prints in several series are also available but the copyright of the prints is unclear for many of the images. Ludvigsen’s research files are divided into two series: Subjects and Marques, each focusing on technical aspects, and were clipped or copied from newspapers, trade publications, and manufacturer’s literature, but there are occasional blueprints and photographs. Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1. Subject Files [11 filing cabinets and 18 record center cartons] The Subject Files contain documents compiled by Ludvigsen on a wide variety of automotive topics, and are in general alphabetical order.

  • PRIMITIVE ART by Steve White
    PRIMITIVE ART By Steve White How’s this for an idea? Take a lightweight British roadster and fit it with a big American V8. Oh, you’ve heard that one before? But, while you’re probably thinking of the Shelby Cobra of the 60s, I’m thinking of the car that proved the concept more than a decade earlier: The Allard. Sidney Allard started his Ford dealership in London before the war. Not satisfied just selling cars, Sidney wanted to build and race them. At his small factory in Clapham, using readily available Ford chassis and driveline components, he built several and personally drove some in competition. After the war, Sidney wanted to expand his idea with cars that held commercial promise. But raw materials like steel and aluminum were rationed by the government, which favored the export products so badly needed by the war-torn economy. So, Allard set his sights on the U.S. and its exploding interest in sports cars and road racing. And he got his raw materials! Like before the war, Allard made maximum use of the Ford parts bin, pre-1949, that is. He improvised a clever front swing axle by splitting and hinging the Ford I-beam unit in the center. The rear end was the old banjo-type differential housing, adapted to employ inboard brakes and de Dion suspension with coil springs; some cars were equipped with quick-change units. The steel ladder frames were simple and lightweight as were the aluminum roadster bodies. What I’m describing is the J2 model, which appeared in 1950 and updated about two years later by the J2X.

  • High Level Geometry Restoration for Cfd Purposes in Ansa
    3rd ANSA & μETA International Conference September 9-11, 2009 Olympic Convention Centre, Porto Carras Grand Resort Hotel, Halkidiki Greece HIGH LEVEL GEOMETRY RESTORATION FOR CFD PURPOSES IN ANSA Peter Gullberg, Lennart Löfdahl Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden KEYWORDS – Automotive CFD, Vehicle Safety, Le Mans ABSTRACT – In the 1955 Le Mans race, the worst crash in motor racing history occurred. This accident would change the face of motor racing for decades. Numerous investigations has been carried out on this disaster, however still today a number of key questions remain unsolved; and one open area is the influence of aerodynamics on the scenario, since the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR involved in the crash was equipped with an air-brake and its influence on the accident is basically unknown. In a first attempt to establish CFD as a tool to aid in resolving aerodynamic aspects in motor sport accidents, a research project was started where CFD is used to investigate the aerodynamics of this vehicle and potentially uncover the aerodynamic aspect of this accident. To generate a representative base model of this vehicle, suitable for CFD-simulations, the project borrowed a 1.24 die-cast collector’s item of the Fangio/Moss vehicle. This model was then laser-scanned, however since it had metallic coating the scanner had severe issues with reflections and the resulting geometry was bad. Although looking really bad, with the FE-tools in ANSA this model was salvaged and a clean surface was recreated of the input data. With this data the project carried on, and first step of results was published on SAE Motorsports Engineering Conference in the autumn of 2008, the second step of the project was published on European Automotive Simulation Conference EASC, Munich 2009.

The first race was a six-hour race on New Year's Eve The next race held 14 months later as the first 12 Hours of Sebring. In its early years, the Sebring circuit combined former airport runways with narrow two-lane service roads. Sebring people were killed during the race, which was more people killed than in the race's prior year history combined. In another incident Mario Andretti in his Ferrari P2 tangled with Don Wester's Porsche on the Warehouse Straight near the Webster Turns, killing four spectators and then crashing into a warehouse next to the track. Subsequent to these events, the facilities were upgraded and the circuit layout was changed, including eliminating the Webster Turns and creating the Sebring Park Chicane further down the track to move the straight further away from the airport warehouses.
