15 June 2006 PANASONIC TOYOTA RACING: MONZA TEST ROUND 15 June 2006 PANASONIC TOYOTA RACING: MONZA TEST ROUND-UP Location: Autodromo Nazionale di Monza, Italy Dates: 13-14-15 June 2006 Drivers: Olivier Panis (13); Ricardo Zonta (13); Ralf Schumacher (14-15); Jarno Trulli (14-15). Track length: 5.793 kms BRAKE DANCING Panasonic Toyota Racing completed a three-day test in Monza with both race drivers, third driver Ricardo Zonta and test driver Olivier Panis all part of the programme. The focus was the upcoming North American races in Montreal and Indianapolis. Montreal is very tough on brakes and also relatively low downforce, making Monza a representative test venue although the team will return to the Milanese track in August to conduct its main Italian GP set-up work. Ralf Schumacher – Chassis TF106/09 Best lap time: 1m24.310 Total laps: 127 Total distance: 735.711kms "We lost a bit of time with an engine electronic problem and had a lot to get through. As well as the tyre and suspension programme, I was also planning to try some different rear wing arrangements before we head across the Atlantic for two races on consecutive weekends in Montreal and Indianapolis but we will have to leave that for a later test. The bulk of the set-up work was successful and we hope to have strong races in North America." Jarno Trulli – Chassis TF106/06 Best lap time: 1m24.040 Total laps: 128 Total distance: 741.504 "It was really a typical Canada test where you concentrate on running with less downforce than you are used to and make sure you have as much aero stability as you can achieve under heavy braking. And, as usual, there was a big tyre programme to get through. I am confident that we are in a good position now to make a solid tyre choice." Ricardo Zonta – Chassis TF106/06 Best lap time: 1m24.660s Total laps: 74 Total distance: 428.682kms "The main element of my test was tyre work for Montreal and I also did some set-up evaluation. We had some suspension revisions to try and the aim was to verify these before the race drivers took over for the final two days of the test. We made some positive progress." Olivier Panis – Chassis TF106/09 Best lap time: 1m25.420 Total laps: 78 Total distance: 451.854kms "I was also working on Bridgestone's Montreal tyre evaluation and that was the most important part of my programme. I was delayed by some vibrations early on but we completed a reasonable number of laps and made progress. The tyre choice tends to be reasonably soft in Canada because most of the braking is in a straight-line and so the tyres do not receive too much punishment through sideways loading. Traction is also very important out of the slow corners and so Montreal testing tends to concentrate on suspension tweaks that get the best out of the tyres under braking and then on acceleration out of slow corners." Gerd Pfeiffer (chief test engineer) "For Montreal it is important to have good stability under heavy braking, as well as good traction, so we have been doing brake work as well as some suspension experimentation with different cambers and so forth. Generally it has been successful but we did lose a bit of time on Ralf's car with an engine misfire that took some time to locate. This was a newly built-up car and at the end of the day we solved the problem and made progress. There has also been a full tyre programme concentrating on both Montreal and Indianapolis."

This week's work has been in preparation for the Italian Grand Prix which will take place here next weekend. Race driver Ralf Schumacher and third driver Ricardo Zonta were on hand today to finish tyre testing and set-up work. Ralf Schumacher finished at lunchtime due to not feeling well. Ricardo Zonta continued on testing different set-ups on both cars in the afternoon and collected the final data the team needed to make the final tyre choice. The team will now head back to the headquarters in Cologne to analyze all the data and prepare for next weekend. Ricardo Zonta – Chassis TF106/07B and TF106/06B Best Lap Time (TF106-06B): 1m23.350s, total laps: 50 Best Lap Time (TF106-07B): 1m22.350s, total laps: 60 Total laps: 110 Total distance: 637.23kms "Yesterday the going was slow due to the red lights but today went well.

  • Bahrain Grand Prix – Free Practice Round-Up
    01 April 2005 PANASONIC TOYOTA RACING: BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX – FREE PRACTICE ROUND-UP Panasonic Toyota Racing had an encouraging start to the Bahrain Grand Prix weekend in Sakhir today with Ricardo Zonta topping the opening practice session and ending up second quickest of the day, whilst both race drivers Jarno Trulli and Ralf Schumacher were both inside the top ten in second practice. ARABIAN MIGHT Jarno Trulli was consistently amongst the front-running drivers in second practice setting the sixth fastest time of the hour-long session having not driven in the morning to conserve valuable mileage on his RVX-05. The Italian's priority ahead of tomorrow is to dial out the oversteer in his TF105. Jarno Trulli (Car 16, Chassis TF105/02) First Session Classification: 23rd, 1 lap completed No Lap Time Second Session Classification: 6th, 22 laps completed Lap Time: 1m32.595s (+1.900s) "It was quite a typical Friday trying different set-ups on the car and comparing the two Michelin compounds for the weekend. We still have some work to do this afternoon and in tomorrow's sessions because I am not extremely happy with the balance of the car. I had a lot of oversteer in the car today, so we have to keep working to cure that. It is honestly too early to make any concrete predictions for this Bahrain GP." CIRCLING THE SAND Like his team-mate, Ralf only completed one installation lap in the opening session, relying on Ricardo Zonta to accrue data in the third car. Over his 19 laps in the afternoon, Ralf set the tenth quickest time, but hopes for even more competitiveness from his TF105 as the weekend unfolds.

    IN TOUCH THE OFFICIAL MAGAZINE OF DUNLOP MOTORSPORT [ www.injection.tv ] LE MANS RACE EDITION Dunlop came away from the Le Mans 24 hours delighted with the performance of its dry and light wet tyres after a difficult race in which the changing condi- tions contributed to the overall result. “We were pretty competitive in all conditions other than full wet conditions,” says Dunlop’s chief tyre technician Matthew Simpson of the LMP2 tyres. “On the slick tyres and the light wet tyres, we had a performance advantage, but in full wet conditions we struggled to get temperature into our compounds. The Essex car had engine trouble so we were never going to do better than we did, but we have to look at the tyre perform- ance in wet conditions and make it better. “The Virgo Ferrari team were very strong and our development construction at the rear allowed us to double stint safely. There was no sign of difficulty in doing so, and there was zero deterioration from the first lap to the last in a double stint, according to the drivers. Le Mans podiums for Essex Perhaps we could have triple stinted, but we didn’t test that before the race and during the race was not the time to try. Porsche and Farnbacher Ferrari “The Creation team had four punctures and three of them were caused by debris. There was not enough left of the tyre to establish the cause of the fourth.” The 2008 edition of the Le Mans 24 hours produced was difficult to drive because sometimes the power was everything from a record breaking qualifying and race there, other times it wasn’t and we couldn’t know what to John Nielsen, Casper Elgaard and Sascha Maassen pace, a record crowd of 258,500 turning out in eager expect.

Palavras-chave: DEA, Restrições aos Pesos, Fórmula 1 1. INTRODUÇÃO Em geral, o objetivo da metodologia DEA é medir a eficiência comparada entre unidades de produção que desenvolvam a mesma atividade quanto à utilização de seus recursos e classificá-las em eficientes ou não-eficientes e dar uma medida relativa da eficiência para as não-eficientes. Além disso, outros objetivos da metodologia DEA consistem em estabelecer um ou mais benchmarks e posicionar as outras unidades em relação a eles ou ordená-las segundo as eficiências calculadas.
