FORMULA SAE: EVENT PARTNERS: EVENT SUPPORTERS: Vale: Ron Tauranac Motorsport has lost one of its great and world renowned Australians with the death of Ron Tauranac, aged 95. Ron’s early involvement with Formula SAE-A was as a guest chief design event judge from when the event was held at the Mitsubishi test facility at Tailem Bend in South Australia and he continued for many years after. He was the designer of the Brabham cars which took Sir Jack Brabham and the late Denis Hulme to Formula One World Championships in the 1960s as well as a myriad of Brabhams for other formulae from Indycars to Formula 3 and everything inbetween. In all, Brabham built about 500 racing cars in total. Ron then sold Brabham to Bernie Ecclestone. Later, Ron started Ralt, a race car production company that built cars for many formulae all over the world, and for many years they were the chassis you needed to win in F2, F3, F3000 and FAtlantic. About 1000 Ralts of various types were built and many are still racing. He later sold the Ralt company to March. Ron was incredibly experienced in the design, building and development of ‘production’ race cars, and so was considered a world authority on the subject. Formula SAE-A was very lucky to have him as a special design judge at our competition for many years. After stepping down from design he became the patron of our FSAE-A event up to his retirement from us. He had plenty of tips and tricks to share with students of the competing Formula SAE-A teams. Ron was well respected and everyone at Formula SAE-A found him to be an absolute pleasure to work with.

  • The HSRCA 1960S Racing Cars Groups M and O Newsletter No.18
    The HSRCA 1960s Racing Cars Groups M and O Newsletter No.18 March 2012 Ed Holly (Registrar) [email protected] Welcome to the first M and O Racing newsletter for 2012. What a year it is shaping up to be, plenty of new cars debuting, or about to, and the interest is already building for the most important M & O event every 2 years with the running of the 4th Tasman Revival in November. In fact it looks like being a very busy end to the year with the with the 50th anniversary of the AGP at Caversham being celebrated with an Historic event at Barbagello. This weekend is also the traditional Sandown weekend and is only 2 weeks before the Tasman Revival itself. Post Tasman there is the New Zealand meetings at Hampton Downs over consecutive weekends with the theme being a tribute to Denny Hulme. Planning for the Tasman Revival is continuing apace. The Tasman Revival committee has employed the services of an event and marketing company, Lehman and Associates, and to produce the programme to a very high standard, a graphic arts and publishing company. On the next page you will see the flyer produced by the latter company. It is nice to see Spencer Martin in Paul Moxham’s Brabham Alfa BT23D selected as the subject, as Spencer is the only Australian Tasman driver to also run in the Tasman Revival. Overseas interest too is solid, and expectations are that we should have at least as many overseas cars as previously. Sir Jack Brabham named as one of Australia’s 100 Living Treasures.

Debuted in the autumn of 1979, Gordon Murray’s Brabham BT49 design is regarded by the South African’s peers as the ultimate Cosworth DFV-powered chassis in an extraordinarily competitive era which saw the Ford-badged three-litre V8 engine win 155 Formula 1 World Championship races over an incredible 17 years. Evolved over four seasons by F1 ringmaster Bernie Ecclestone’s Brabham team, in three distinct specications, Murray’s family of BT49s were very special in almost every respect. Freed at last from the compromises previously imposed by cumbersome and thirsty 12-cylinder Alfa Romeo engines, in both at and vee formats, Murray delighted in shrink-wrapping the compact DFV in the neatest, sleekest package. Supremely elegant and stunningly detailed the BT49’s monocoque was beautifully crafted in aluminium with carbonbre stiening panels. Setting new standards aerodynamically his masterpieces were quick out of the box and netted six pole positions. With promising tools at their disposal at last, although the mercurial turbocars won the arms race in terms of power, Murray and his lieutenants worked tirelessly to maximise the inherent advantages they had. The team proved most adept at mastering the complex sliding skirt ‘wing car’ concept which unlocked extraordinary new parameters of cornering speed without, on the Brabham at least, sacricing basic straight line speed.

  • The Ex - Dennis O’Sullivan 1964 Brabham BT10 - Cosworth Formula 2 Chassis Number: F2-14-64
    The Ex - Dennis O’Sullivan 1964 Brabham BT10 - Cosworth Formula 2 Chassis Number: F2-14-64 • Sold new to Dennis O’Sullivan and run under the Baldyne Engineering banner in Formula 2 and Formula 3 formats. O’Sullivan took victory at Brands Hatch in April 1965, setting the outright single seater lap record in the process. • Raced across Europe by next owner Geoff Oliver, with entries in the Goodwood Sunday Mirror Trophy and Gran Premio de Barcelona Formula 2 races before a diverse range of Formula 3 outings including attempted qualification at Monaco. • Subsequently sold to the USA through Robs Lamplough and Fred Opert, where it was raced in the late ‘60s by Fred Harris. Later owned by Brabham collector Joe Maria in New York State before entering the current ownership in 2000. • Restored by Simon Hadfield Motorsport in 2002 and maintained, cared for and improved by Retro Track & Air since 2009, with Cosworth SCA engine rebuilt by Geoff Richardson Engineering. • Remaining in beautiful condition and a potential entry for the superb Glover Trophy at the Goodwood Revival, along with benefitting from eligibility with the Historic Grand Prix Car Association, F2-14-64 is a charming way to experience some of the greatest circuits in Europe while competing with pre-1966 Formula 1 cars. It is difficult not to get swept up in the passion and history that surrounds Jack Brabham and Brabham cars. Jack Brabham is one of the great names in motor racing history. Three times world champion, a true racing hero; he epitomises probably the most iconic eras of Grand Prix racing, not only for his achievements behind the wheel, but also for his incredibly successful career as a race car manufacturer.

    The Gordon Murray Interview iven the nature of Low Flying‘s readership it might seem almost patronising to write an introduction to this piece. If you know anything about GFormula One design or about the fi rst (and arguably still the best) ‘hypercar’ ever made - the McLaren F1 - then Professor Ian Gordon Murray won’t need any introduction from me. Feel free to cut straight to the chase and read Gordon’s thoughts on my questions, but be warned - no punches are pulled. Do try to remember his full name though as it helps with the answer to my fi rst question. If however, you are reading this Lowfl ying in the dentist’ s waiting room whilst angsting about the root canal work you’re about to have done and this magazine just seemed to offer a better read than the ratty copies of Hello on offer, this intro is just for you. Gordon Murray was born in Durban in 1946. He emigrated to the UK in 1969 and worked for Brabham, becoming head designer in 1973 and going on to design some of the most beautiful Grand Prix cars ever made, the BT 44 and BT 52 being especially outstanding. Successful too, with 22 Grand Prix victories for drivers including Reutemann, Lauda, Watson and, of course, Nelson Piquet, who won two Drivers’ Championships in a Brabham. Like all great designers, Murray can think a very long way outside the box and the astonishing BT46B ‘fan car’ and his re-introduction of fuel stops to Grand Prix racing in 1983 bear witness to this.

  • Tim Schenken Arrived in Europe As One of the First Racing Drivers from Australia to Follow the Road Already Paved by Jack Brabham
    Tim Schenken arrived in Europe as one of the first racing drivers from Australia to follow the road already paved by Jack Brabham. After promising rise into Formula 1, his Grand Prix career took a wrong turn and Schenken switched his attention to SportsCar and GT cars, and even became a constructor when he and Howden Ganley established Tiga Race Cars Ltd. in Britain. Schenken later became involved in racing administration for the Australian V-8 Supercar series, and has since also served as Clerk of the Course for the Australian and Singapore Grands Prix. He currently works as Director of Racing Operations at the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport Ltd. (CAMS). Aleš Norský and Anthony Valdettaro asked him the following questions via e-mail, in April 2015. A.V. I remember reading that you first came to Europe or England with a letter of introduction from a prominent racing person, which you presented to another prominent racing person, who brushed you off "...in a most shattering way". Would you mind recalling the particulars of that, and saying why you think the reception was so hostile? T.S. David McKay, the noted motoring journalist and race driver/entrant when hearing I was going to Europe, gave me some letters of introduction. One was addressed to the Dunlop Competition Manager. Shortly after my arrival in the UK in 1965, I visited a Silverstone meeting. It must have been an important race as Dunlop was in attendance with its service and hospitality unit...a converted bus as was the standard in those days.

    P.1 of 9 69. 1986C Honda RA166E; 1,494cc; Q 1,200HP* @ 12,000RPM 70. 1987 Honda RA167E; 1,494cc; Q 995BHP @ 12,200RPM 71. 1988 Honda RA168E; 1,494cc; Q 676BHP @ 12,500RPM See Fig. 70A, Figs. 71A and 71B, attached. Power Curves for the RA167E and RA168E are also attached. It is worthwhile to consider the history of Honda engines in other branches of motorsports before describing in detail the Grand Prix engines of 1986 -1988, because of the large impact that they made on high-power engine design. The first Honda Grand Prix motor-cycle racing era, 1959-1967 Soichiro Honda founded his firm to make lightweight motor-cycles in 1948. In 1959 the 1st entry was made in a major International race with a 125cc twin-cylinder machine. A 250cc four followed in 1960 and in 1961 each took its World Championship. From then until the end of 1967, when the company retired from Grand Prix motor-cycle racing for a time (which turned out to be 12 years), they campaigned in all classes from 50cc to 500cc in various years, providing mounts for 16 Champion riders (only the “Blue Riband” 500cc escaped them) and captured 18 Makers’ Championships (all 5 classes in 1966). All the Honda racing motor-cycle engines were 4-stroke air-cooled and had 4 valves per cylinder (4v/c) – this latter feature was re-introduced by them into that arena (see Note 78) – which coped easily with Bore/Stroke (B/S) ratios gradually increasing from 1.07 to 1.41, but with wide included angles between valves (VIA) varying from 760 to 560 which did, however, allow airflow to the top of the cylinder head.

First, you get sucked-in by the noise, the speed, and the excitement; then you identify with one or two of the drivers; then you learn about the uniqueness of each circuit; then you become curious about the cars: how they function, and about the engineers who design them, which leads you to buy a book such as this.
