    OWNERS and DRIVERS CLUB Inc. NUMBER 150 – December 2018 REGISTERED BY AUSTRALIA POST PUBLICATION NUMBER VBH-4024 ELF – IN ! Small, slight, and delicately - made or proportioned, quick, agile and delicate ( as in movement or thought ), having an otherworldly, unearthly or magical quality. - Webster’s Dictionary. 2 ELFIN OWNERS and DRIVERS CLUB Inc. December and another year draws to a close – where does the time go? Next year the EODC will celebrate 60 years of Elfin Sports Cars from 1959 to 2019. It is good to see so many Elfins out and about - either on display or competing in events (large and small) on tracks and hill climbs around the country and overseas. Speaking of overseas, th BILL HEMMING competed in the 50 anniversary of F5000 at Monterey meeting, STEVE WELLER took out the Jim Clark trophy for Historic F2’s in his 600B and, in England, WILL WALKER competed at Chateau Impney Hill Climb in his Elfin 300 this year. A number of Elfins are in various stages of restoration or have been restored. The recently restored Elfin 400 of MARK GOLDSMITH made its debut at the Adelaide Motorsport Festival – 40 years after its last race (Oct 1978). This car was originally the Globe Products 400 driven by NOEL HURD. I remember this car/driver combination back in the day. In September, Elfin driver JOHN MCORMACK was honoured at the 2018 Baskerville Historics with some of his cars – including the Charger, XJS Jag, Toyota Celica Repco V8 (McCormack was responsible for its construction) and, of course his Elfin MR5 F5000.

  • Storia Della Formula 1 Metodologia Della Ricerca Storica
    1 STORIA DELLA FORMULA 1 METODOLOGIA DELLA RICERCA STORICA PRESENTAZIONE DEL PROGETTO E PROGRAMMA GENERALE Il progetto si propone di fornire un’introduzione agli studi specialistici dedicati alla Storia della Formula 1 dal 1950 a oggi, attraverso un percorso tematico che include al suo interno una rassegna esaustiva degli ultimi 60 anni di corse unita a una visione panoramica del mondo delle corse, completa quanto essenziale, di cui verranno presi in esame in termini generali i piloti, le squadre, i circuiti, i regolamenti sportivi e l’evoluzione tecnica delle monoposto – motori, telai, aerodinamica, elettronica, pneumatici –, l’evoluzione commerciale, oltre alla cronaca delle gare e dei principali avvenimenti di ciascuna annata agonistica. La Storiografia, disciplina umanistica, si occupa della scrittura della Storia, tradotta in grandi opere, monografie, saggi brevi e ricerche di vario genere condotte da parte degli studiosi. L’oggetto della Storia non è lo studio del passato, bensì lo studio degli uomini nel passato, che costituisce un elemento di confronto continuo di cui sappiamo più o meno in base ai dati, ai documenti, alle tracce concrete. La Storia è un insieme complesso di fatti accaduti e presenta la difficoltà di un resoconto oggettivo dei fatti. Oggi la Storia, intesa come ramo delle scienze umane, ha a che fare con la discussione critica, lo studio oggettivo della realtà attraverso le fonti documentarie e le testimonianze pervenute, la lettura del passato in chiave di valutazione moderna. La Storia viene così concepita come un processo in progresso fatto dagli uomini e fa parte del patrimonio pubblico della nostra cultura. Nonostante il considerevole numero di articoli su riviste e libri specializzati usciti nel corso dei decenni, gli studi storici sulla Formula 1 costituiscono un settore disciplinare in fase di ulteriore ricerca e approfondimento.
