I.C.S.C.C. Memo #12 - July 31, 1978 Page 1 I.C.S.C.C. MEMO #12 - JULY 31, 1978 PAGE 1 RACE STEWARD'S REPORT - BILL ROOT Well, here we are again - 39,000 feet above Washington on our way to the East. Portland nd the weekend seemed very far away but some of the prlblems still linger in my mind. The Biggest problem, the number of cases of "body contact" on the race course. I realize that as the race for the championships get tighter, the competition gets keener - however, crashing into your competition is not the way to go. Car No. 10 was involved in three shunts during the weekend. Car 424 and 30 came together hard. Car No. 145 and 118 exhcnaged paint. Car No. 10 and No. 61 came together in practice and everyone in the stands saw Car No. 170 and 03 come together big in Turn 9. Had I had proper communications at PIR. I would have black flagged these cars for inspection. The majority of their problems seemed to be from trying to pass on the inside. When the lead car shuts the door, there is nowhere to go. In this case, I would suggest that the inside car be more cautious. As the points get close there are more protests. Formula V results are provisional, awaiting the outcome of a complete mechanical protest. (NOTE: The Formula V results are now Official as shown in this Memo) Three Production cars were disqualified because of rule violations and 9146 Porsche (03) was disqualified for several rule violations. I am going to be checking cars much closer and, as in Portland, impounding entire classes for review. Some people may get caught in the backlash. The noise limitation of 105 dBA is a rule and if you are over you will be disqualified. If your competition protests your car for noise and it exceeds 105 dBA, I will uphold the rules. Senior drivers are not watching their mirrors or signaling. I am going to start imposing penalties and fines - forwarned is foretold. This could avoid some of the accidents mentioned above. Several registration forms were not properly filled out. Read Rule 603 - it could save you money, especially you Novices. If you are unsure - ask. Lee, Stella, Denny or anyone else would be glad to help. The results are in on the appeal of the PL 510 Datsun classification into C Production. The classification was supported and the 510 will remain in Class C. All in all, you drivers have been doing an excellent job cooperating so far this year. Although there were administrative and organizational problems this weekend, the competition was close, the drivers attitudes were great and the trophies were well deserved. Hope to see a great many of you in Victoria, it promises to be a super weekend. * * * * * * * * * * FROM THE RACE OFFICIALS' DIVISION - BILL DODSON There were some complaints this past race weekend which I feel need to be passed along to Turn personnel. One complaint concerned the displaying of a Blue Flag AND a Yellow Flag at the same time - this is very confusing to the drivers. A Yellow Flag is sufficient as this tells the drivers to be cautious - there is something ahead. A second complaint on flagging concerned the showing of a Yellow Flag intermittently for the same incident. Display the Yellow only as long as necessary and then pull it. The drivers cannot (or at least should not)be racing competitvely until the yellow flag is pulled. Safety is first, but do not leave the flag out too long. This past weekend was a good example of the need for workers from other areas to travel to another track. PIR was quite undermanned for the weekend and your help would have been appreciated. If you are not sure of the person to contact if you are going to another track, contact me and I will send you to the proper person. This includes Turnworkers, Timing/Scoring, tech inspection, etc. Your help is needed and appreciated! If you have any questions on procedures, consult your R.O.D. Handbook. If the answer is not there, ask me and I will try to answer it. If everyone works TOGETHER we can be among the best in the area. k * * * * * * * * PAGE 2 TO ALL SPORTS CAR CLUB OF B.C. MEMBERS, RACING ASSOCIATES (BOTH ICSCC & CASC) Well, it's a long way from Westwood to the race tracks of Europe but while I have the time perhaps I can tell you a bit about my experience so far. As some of you may have heard, I'm currently working for Walter Wolf Racing on the Formula Three team as a mechanic. We are in a place called Varana de Melegari, Italy, where the cars are built by Gian Paulo Dallora and his workers. He is also the Design Consultant to Lamborghini and has a very colourful background on Italian racing. His 12 employees make all the components here in Italy and the other mechanic, Mike Scott from England, and I assemble and prepare the cars of which we have 2. Another car has been sold to an Italian team sponsored by Emiliani Wines. (Guess what we drink) to contest the Italian championship. We are running a lot of events on the European championship and a number of selected Grands Prix supporting events. • Our 2 cars are painted in the usual Wolf Racing Blue with the usual decals and a lot of the money comes from Oliver Stable, an extremely wealthy cotton Broker from Zurich, Switzerland. The current thinking in Formula 3 is to have a Toyota twin cam tuned by Novamotor of Novara, Italy. These engines, like any other in F3 are 2 litres in capacity, production based and breath through a 24mm orifice (approx. 1"). They produce approx. 155 to 160 horsepower with a maximum rpm of 7000 and have a life of around 700 mi. We have 4 of these motors. The cars themselves are of standard monocoque structure from the roll bar forward and the engine is a fully stressed member which is unique for a Formula 3 car. than Another unusual feature is the gearbox which is an FT200 rather the more popular MK9/5 box. One of the major problems in F3 these days is the gearbox stripping gears off like a log peeler. Most cars have the MK9 case and final drive with the stronger MK5 gears because this combination is lighter to allow the cars using semi stressed engines (eg. Ralt, Chevron, & March) to get close to the minimum weight. It is not uncommon to see lots of cars with the back end up in the air and an empty Hewland with a pile of teeth under while some bloke is off trying to get an 18/32 or whatever from so & so. (who's probably got the same problem also.) So while they're off trying to get a gearbox together, we smile (we never have that problem) and carry on fixing our myrid problems such as oil leaks. We've had a few problems with oil leaks because of the vibration caused by the stressed mounting literally shattering some poorly made parts. Also our car has bigger brakes than anyone else and this has paid off already at Monaco. The cars are allowed 10" wide rear wheels and 8" on the front and both are 13 inches in diameter. We use the Speedline wheel made in Italy and used by many of the Formula 1 teams. They cast up all the castings for Hub carriers, etc. also. The biggest single expense in Formula 3 today is the rear tires which are literally worn out after 30 or so miles of hard driving. These tires are really gummy (the G50's) and the inside of the outside tire wears out first on all the cars regardless of make. To top it all off they're worth $700.00 a set and it's not uncommon for some teams to eat up 3 sets of tires in a weekend. Oh, I almost forgot the last piece we put in the car - the driver! We started at the beginning of the season with a young Austrian, Horst Fritz, who's knowledge and ability were very limited which didn't help development at all. For Monaco we had Anders Olafsson, the current European Championship leader and a helluva nice guy. I looked after his car at Monaco and found him very professional in his approach but not a nit picker about the car. He just gets in and goes bloody fast - not a hairy fast but a skillful fast. Since Monaco and now our main driver has been Bobby Rahal who is a familiar name to fans of Formula Atlantic. He's also a helluva nice guy, a good driver and a nice guy to have a beer with and bench race. How do we get all this mess to the races, well we have a Mercedes 508 Van of approx. 2 tons. We can comfortably put 1 car in it and when it is removed there is a work bench, vise, lots of drawers and plenty of storage space for things like the tent & poles (which attaches to the side of the truck), the generator, air compressor and a multitude of spares plus spare engines. We also have a trailer in which we carry another car, the tires, and a spare tub. Unfortunately the van only has a 4 cyl. Diesel with 85 hp so getting there is half the fun with much rowing through the gears up hills at all of 20 mph and giving it "heavy welli" down the hills to a grand speed of 58 mph.

He hated dressing up— wearing old blue jeans and often walking around in his bare feet, even on formal occasions. He drank heavily, smoked two packs a day, experimented with drugs, partied hard, and enoyed the ladies. He married one of them, Suzy Miller, a fashion model who eventually left him for the actor Richard Burton. While he became a media darling for the tabloid press, his behavior was less appreciated by Formula One journalists, who found him a frustrating mixture of boisterous charm and overbearing conceit.

  • Aviatore Al Decollo
    Aviatore al decollo JOSEPH GILLES HENRI VILLENEUVE α 18 Gennaio 1950 Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu / Chambly (CANADA) Ω 8 Maggio 1982 Zolder / Leuven (NEDERLAND) oto più semplicemente come Gilles Villeneuve, è stato un pilota di Formula 1. Curiosamente iniziò la carriera sportiva partecipando a gare di motoslitte nella nativa provincia canadese del N Québec. Con tali mezzi, tra l’altro, arrivò alla vittoria del titolo mondiale, nel 1974, nella cate- goria fino a 440 c.c. Passato nel frattempo alla guida di monoposto, all’esordio nel 1973, divenne Campione del Québec di Formula Ford. Salito di categoria l’anno successivo, debuttò in Formula Atlantic. Vincerà nel bien- nio 1976 e 1977, alla guida della March-Ford, due Campionati canadesi (oltre a quello statunitense nel ’76). Un anno più tardi, dopo un brevissimo passaggio in Formula 2 (sempre con la March sul circuito di Pau in Francia), la McLaren lo fece esordire al Gran Premio di Gran Bretagna di Formula 1, destando ottime impressioni. Verso il temine della medesima stagione, il 1977, la Scuderia Ferrari lo ingaggiò in sostituzione di Niki Lauda (facendolo gareggiare nelle ultime due gare stagionali). Il legame con la Casa di Maranello divenne indelebile e durò per tutta la carriera. Con la Ferrari si aggiudicò sei vittorie nei Gran Premi di F. 1 e la prima posizione nella “Race of Champions” del 1979 (gara non valida per il campionato a Brands Hatch/GB). Ottenne il secondo posto nella Classifica Mondiale del 1979 (alle spalle del compagno di squadra Jody Scheckter), come miglior risultato in carriera. Tragicamente perì, nel 1982, in un drammatico incidente (causato da un contatto con la March di Jo- chen Mass), durante le qualifiche del Gran Premio del Belgio a bordo della Ferrari 126 C2.
