THE SPORT IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE A FORMAT FOR FRIENDLY WHEEL TO WHEEL COMPETITION WITH VEHICLES PREPARED FAITHFULLY TO THEIR ERA.

It’s been a year of both triumph and, unfortunately, tragedy and in this issue we take time out to remember María de Villota, whose passing in October left a deep void not just in motor sport but in all our hearts. María’s bravery following her F1 testing accident and the dedication she displayed afterwards – not only in promoting female involvement in motor sport but also safety on the road and track – will be missed. Elsewhere, it was a year of great success for women competitors and in this edition we look at Lucile Cypriano’s victory in the VW and commission-supported shoot-out for a place in next year’s VW Scirocco R-Cup and reveal how the FIA European Rallycross Championship has become a haven for female racers. It’s been a great year for CONTACTS: women in all forms of motor sport and IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS ABOUT THIS NEWSLETTER OR we look forward to even more in 2014! STORIES FOR THE NEXT ISSUE, WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU.

  • 1 Fourth Annual Michael R. Argetsinger Symposium – 2018
    Fourth Annual Michael R. Argetsinger Symposium – 2018 International Motor Racing Research Center PROGRAM FRIDAY NOVEMBER 9 Morning Sessions Location: Watkins Glen International Media Center 10:00am to 11:00am Tom Adamich - Formula Vee: The Birth of Florida’s “People’s Race Car” Mr. Adamich is a Digital Asset Librarian and a certified teacher-librarian. A graduate of Kent State University (Ohio) and KSU College, he is in addition President of the Visiting Librarian Service. Mr. Adamich analyzes the deep cultural roots and enduring success of Formula Vee, the “People’s Race Car,” from its origins in the work of Ferdinand Porsche to its birth as an American racing phenomenon in the 1960s. He relates the story of Formula Vee, as both a Volkswagen Beetle adaptation and as a common man’s racing vehicle, focusing on its origin in Florida and the Southeastern United States, the “birthplace of the Formula Vee.” Francis G. Clax - Americans Enter International Grand Prix Motorcycle Racing Francis Clax, a noted expert on early automotive history, describes himself as “a lifetime devotee of all things with a motor that go fast.” From an early age, he mastered automobiles and motorcycles, eventually competing successfully in heavyweight superbike racing. From the late 1980s to 2007, Mr. Clax hosted a prime-time cable series “The Motorcycle” and, more recently, has concentrated on motometer automobilia collecting. Mr. Clax explains how American sportsmen, typically fixtures in almost every type of competitive racing in air, water or on land, were late entrants into the world of open road and closed paved circuit racing events.

    VARAC’s FORMULA CLASSIC CLASSIFICATIONS It is VARAC’s goal to develop an open wheel, Formula Classic, division which is strong enough to support its own grid at any VARAC attended racing event. Formula Classic grid at VARAC’s 40th Anniversary races at Shannonville, 2019 VARAC has three basic open wheel classifications which are aligned to reflect the Club’s sports car classes. They are: Formula Historic, Formula 70 and Formula 90. FORMULA HISTORIC: All Formula cars built before January 1, 1973. These are generally cars built before the evolution of slick tires and aerodynamic appendages. They include everything from Vintage Formula Juniors and 500cc Formula Threes to Formula 5000 cars. The most likely cars of this era (besides those described below) are Formula Bs, the most popular of these being the Brabham BT29. FORMULA 70: All Formula cars built from 1973 to 1989. FORMULA 90: All Formula cars built from January 1, 1990 to December 31, 1999. Many F70 and F90 cars are frequently referred to as “wings and slicks” cars, for obvious reasons. During the ‘70s and ‘80s, treadless tires and aerodynamic devises appeared on many Formula cars. Not all Formula car classes were permitted to use slick tires and/or wings, however, for example, Formula Vee and Formula Ford. Usually cost saving was the motive for restricting slicks and/or wings. In VARAC, for now at least, Formula cars are separated into the three general classifications. There are five exceptions to this rule, which are outlined below. Obviously, there are a myriad of Formula car classes and amateur and professional series which raced prior to 2000.

  • A Guide to ICSCC Race Classes
    A Guide to ICSCC Race Classes This is meant as a general guide only. For specific requirements refer to the ICSCC Competition Regulations. Sports car racing has the most variety of cars of any type of racing. The cars can be broken down into four basic types: Production cars, GT cars, Formula cars, and Sports Racers. Within each of these types, there are numerous classifications: 53 in all. These classifications are divided into six race groups, and all cars assigned to a particular group will run all practice, qualifying, and races together. Any race has several classes of cars running, so there will be races within the race. This can lead to some confusion as to what is happening on track! This guide will help you sort it out... Production Cars The Production cars are the closest to street vehicles, and many are driven to and from the track. There are very limited modifications permitted. The drive train is for all practical purposes stock. The interior can be stripped to reduce fire hazard, and basic safety equipment is added, such as a roll cage and fire suppression systems. Production cars are divided into ten classes designated ‘A’ through ‘J’. Markings on the car will tell you which class they are in: AP, BP, CP, and so on. The cars are placed into a class by using the ratio of horsepower to curb weight as a guide. Other factors will affect the classification of a particular car such as type of tires being used. As you watch the Production cars you will notice that certain models of cars domi- nate in a given class.

The 6.6-mile chain ran through the streets of the village, starting and ending in front of Schuyler County Court House. Permits from six government agencies are required for the closure of public roads for this event; State, County, Village, Reading, Dix and the New York State Parks Commission. It was also necessary to have permission from the New York Central Railroad to stop the trains during the race as the course crossed the tracks. The track was used for races from 1948 to 1952. Unchanged, it could be toured today as a public road. For those who were here in the early days, it is a sentimental journey. For those who have never been here, this is a lesson in the history of motorsport. The attractions listed below are also on our map of the original circuit.

  • From Quattro to E-Tron
    Audi MediaInfo Audi motorsport history From quattro to e-tron Audi positions itself as the sportiest manufacturer in the premium segment and has a perfect basis to do so: motorsport. Sportiness, advanced technology and emotive design are the basis for the success of the Audi brand. The genes for this have their origin in racing – since 1980. The success story began with the Audi quattro Excluding the era before the Second World War including the legendary Auto Union Grand Prix race cars in the 1930s, the motorsport history of AUDI AG began with the Audi quattro. The dominant victories and two manufacturers’ and two drivers’ titles achieved with the “original quattro” in the World Rally Championship between 1982 and 1984 were an important factor in the market success of quattro drive. quattro victorious in circuit racing as well After Audi had turned rally racing upside down and stormed up Pikes Peak (USA) with the Sport quattro in record time on three successive occasions, Audi made quattro drive fit for circuit racing as well: initially with the Audi 200 quattro and the Audi 90 quattro IMSA GTO in the United States, in 1990 and 1991 with two championship titles for the Audi V8 quattro in the German Touring Car Championship (DTM) – and ultimately also with the A4 in the production- based super touring cars. In 1996, the Audi A4 quattro won championship titles in seven countries. Between 2012 and 2016, the all-wheel drive system returned to the race track as the e-tron quattro. Audi R8 most successful Le Mans sports car in present-day racing After the dominant quattro drive was banned from touring car racing, Audi switched to sports prototypes and underpinned its slogan “Vorsprung durch Technik” in this motorsport category for 18 years as well.

    ® NASA Super Touring (ST) and Time Trial (TT) Official Dyno Certification Form (rev 10-20) Dyno Testing Procedures: 1) All Dyno tests must be performed in a commercial facility or on a portable Dyno that offers chassis dynamometer testing as part of their business and is open to the public. 2) All Front Wheel Drive (FWD) and Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) vehicles must be tested on a Dynojet model dynamometer. 3) All Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicles may be tested on a Dynojet, Mustang, Dyno Dynamics, or Dynapack dynamometer. Mustang and Dyno Dynamics results will have 10% added for classing calculations. 4) An inductive pickup or other direct sensor shall be used to measure engine RPM, not via the ECU/OBD port or from calibration from the vehicle’s tachometer. (If it is physically impossible to obtain RPM data from an inductive pickup or direct sensor due to vehicle configuration, the Dyno operator must note on the Dyno sheet the method used for obtaining RPM data, and the reason for not using an inductive pickup or direct sensor, and the competitor must notify the Race Director and/or TT Director before competition). 5) At least three (3) separate, reproducible tests shall be made for each Fuel/Timing Map/boost controller setting, with graphs printed together on the same sheet, with horsepower and torque on the Y-axis and RPM on the X-axis. SAE J1349 Rev JUN 90 correction shall be used, along with a smoothing factor of five (5). 6) The numerical table of horsepower and RPM for the run with the highest Max HP shall be printed out in 50 RPM increments (unless the competitor elects to simply use Max HP for all classing calculations).
