  • Colin Seeley Colin Began His Career As an Apprentice with Harcourt
    Speaker: Colin Seeley Colin began his career as an apprentice with Harcourt Motorcycles. By 1954 and aged just 18, Colin had branched out on his own and secured premises in Belvedere, Kent, which laid the foundations for his successful dealership and workshop. During that same year, Colin also entered his first race at Brands Hatch, riding a borrowed 500cc BSA Star Twin. 1960 saw Colin and his friend acquire a sidecar outfit based on a Manx Norton which they raced for the first time that year at Snetterton. Just one year later in 1961, Colin entered his first Grand Prix event, the Isle of Man TT this time using a Matchless G50 modified and fitted with a Canterbury racing sidecar and achieved 6th place. Colin raced in numerous competitions between 1961 and 1967 including the British and world championship sidecar competitions. Using his own design of machines achieved a first place in the 1964 Dutch TT and 2nd in the Isle of Man TT sidecar competition not to mention coming close to winning the world championships. Through the mid to late 60’s Colin concentrated more and more on the design and construction of Seeley framed racing motorcycles. By the late 60’s and into the early 70s (by which time nearly all the major motorcycle manufacturers had pulled out of Grand Prix racing) the Seeley designed frame became the first choice for the privateer racers of that era. In 1969 the Mark 3 version of the Seeley racing frame was adapted to house the Norton Commando 750 motor and by that time Colin’s designs had become so successful in competition that he deservedly earned a reputation as one of the best motorcycle frame designers in the industry.

  • Formula 1 Race Car Performance Improvement by Optimization of the Aerodynamic Relationship Between the Front and Rear Wings
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Engineering FORMULA 1 RACE CAR PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT BY OPTIMIZATION OF THE AERODYNAMIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FRONT AND REAR WINGS A Thesis in Aerospace Engineering by Unmukt Rajeev Bhatnagar © 2014 Unmukt Rajeev Bhatnagar Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science December 2014 The thesis of Unmukt R. Bhatnagar was reviewed and approved* by the following: Mark D. Maughmer Professor of Aerospace Engineering Thesis Adviser Sven Schmitz Assistant Professor of Aerospace Engineering George A. Lesieutre Professor of Aerospace Engineering Head of the Department of Aerospace Engineering *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii Abstract The sport of Formula 1 (F1) has been a proving ground for race fanatics and engineers for more than half a century. With every driver wanting to go faster and beat the previous best time, research and innovation in engineering of the car is really essential. Although higher speeds are the main criterion for determining the Formula 1 car’s aerodynamic setup, post the San Marino Grand Prix of 1994, the engineering research and development has also targeted for driver’s safety. The governing body of Formula 1, i.e. Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) has made significant rule changes since this time, primarily targeting car safety and speed. Aerodynamic performance of a F1 car is currently one of the vital aspects of performance gain, as marginal gains are obtained due to engine and mechanical changes to the car. Thus, it has become the key to success in this sport, resulting in teams spending millions of dollars on research and development in this sector each year.

    Bernard Rey, Präsident des ING Renault F1 Team Die Ziele für 2009 Die Saison 2008 hat bestätigt, dass Renault an der Spitze der Königsklasse zu Hause ist. Nach einem enttäuschenden Start in die Saison bündelte das Team alle Kräfte, bewies in der zweiten Saisonhälfte beispiellosen Kampfeswillen und feierte in Singapur und Japan zwei Siege. Diese Ergebnisse unterstreichen den Erfolgshunger des ING Renault F1 Teams, der in der Vorbereitungsphase auf die neue Saison als unerschöpflicher Motivationsquell diente. Unsere beiden Fahrer für 2009 stehen fest und erst jüngst haben wir in neue, hochmoderne Fertigungs- und Entwicklungsstätten investiert – und damit eine deutliche Aussage hinsichtlich unserer Ambitionen für die kommende Saison getätigt: Wir wollen ganz vorne mitfahren und ein Auto auf die Strecke bringen, das um Podiumsplätze und Siege kämpfen kann. Unser Entwicklungsprogramm schreitet stetig voran und wir haben allen Grund, fest an das Erreichen dieser Ziele zu glauben. Wir gehen die neue Saison daher äußerst optimistisch und entschlossen an. Das ING Renault F1 Team ist der lebendige Beweis für die Fähigkeit unseres Konzerns, auch auf höchster Ebene hervorragende Ergebnisse und Erfolge zu feiern. Das Team kann sich daher bei allen Herausforderungen, die in diesem Jahr vor uns liegen, der uneingeschränkten Unterstützung aller Mitarbeiter und Partner sicher sein. Interview mit Flavio Briatore, Geschäftsführender Direktor des ING Renault F1 Teams Wie lautete Ihr Fazit zur Saison 2008, in deren Verlauf dem ING Renault F1 Team ein beeindruckendes Comeback gelang? Ich bin stolz auf die Arbeit, die das Team im vergangenen Jahr geleistet hat. Wir erlebten einen schwierigen Start in die Saison, aber keiner von uns gab auf – ganz im Gegenteil.

  • Forgotten F1 Teams – Series 1 Omnibus Simtek Grand Prix
    Forgotten F1 Teams – Series 1 Omnibus Welcome to Forgotten F1 Teams – a mini series from Sidepodcast. These shows were originally released over seven consecutive days But are now gathered together in this omniBus edition. Simtek Grand Prix You’re listening to Sidepodcast, and this is the latest mini‐series: Forgotten F1 Teams. I think it’s proBaBly self explanatory But this is a series dedicated to profiling some of the forgotten teams. Forget aBout your Ferrari’s and your McLaren’s, what aBout those who didn’t make such an impact on the sport, But still have a story to tell? Those are the ones you’ll hear today. Thanks should go to Scott Woodwiss for suggesting the topic, and the teams, and we’ll dive right in with Simtek Grand Prix. Simtek Grand Prix was Born from Simtek Research Ltd, the name standing for Simulation Technology. The company founders were Nick Wirth and Max Mosley, Both of whom had serious pedigree within motorsport. Mosley had Been a team owner Before with March, and Wirth was a mechanical engineering student who was snapped up By March as an aerodynamicist, working underneath Adrian Newey. When March was sold to Leyton House, Mosley and Wirth? Both decided to leave, and joined forces to create Simtek. Originally, the company had a single office in Wirth’s house, But it was soon oBvious they needed a Bigger, more wind‐tunnel shaped Base, which they Built in Oxfordshire. Mosley had the connections that meant racing teams from all over the gloBe were interested in using their research technologies, But while keeping the clients satisfied, Simtek Began designing an F1 car for BMW in secret.

  • Porsche 919 Hybrid English.Indd
    Porsche 919 Hybrid Return to top-level sport Porsche is making its comeback to the top-level motorsport arena: with the new 919 Hybrid the sports car brand is sending a platform for pioneering technology to the top category of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) with the undisputed seasonal highlight of the 24-hour Le Mans race. Porsche's reputation precedes it at this venue: with 16 overall victories under its belt, the brand holds the record for this, the most famous endurance race in the world. In 2014 Porsche is returning to the top-level class endurance race after a 16-year absence - namely Le Mans Prototypes (LMP1). Matthias Müller, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG explains: "The new and revolutionary efficiency regulations for this class were what prompted us to take this step. In 2014 it is not going to be the fastest contender who is going to win the sports car world championship and Le Mans, but the car that gets furthest with the defined amount of energy. And it is precisely this challenge that the automotive industry has to face. The 919 Hybrid is like a high speed research laboratory and the most complex racing car Porsche has ever built." The new WEC regulations for the LMP1 racing car gives engineers an unusual amount of leeway and demands pioneering technology, such as hybridisation, downsizing engines and consistent lightweight construction. This is all particularly relevant for the development of future generations of factory-spec sports cars. Maximum sporting performance and highest efficiency are at the heart of "Porsche Intelligent Performance".

  • Renault F1 Ou Comment Relever Les Défis Technologiques Des Véhicules De Série
    14 14 Focus Focus 15 15 POUR Alain PROST la TECHNIQUE A CHANGÉ LES COMPÉTENCES DES PILOTES Quelles différences voyez-vous entre les pilotes de Formule 1 de votre génération et ceux d’aujourd’hui ? Les pilotes actuels ne font pas le même travail de développement que ceux de mon époque. Ils doivent comprendre les nombreux systèmes qui influent sur le pilotage. Lorsque je pilotais des Formules 1, ma parole avait plus d’importance car les ingénieurs disposaient d’un nombre restreint de capteurs embarqués. Les pilotes peuvent aujourd’hui recevoir des informations sur la conduite en temps réel alors qu’à mon époque nous ne pouvions qu’analyser des courbes de vitesse après la course. Ce qui n’a pas changé, c’est qu’un pilote doit toujours être capable de faire des tours rapides. Les pilotes avaient-ils plus de pouvoir de décision ? En course par exemple, nous décidions nous même du moment de changement des pneus, et les mécaniciens devaient toujours se tenir prêts à intervenir, alors qu’aujourd’hui tout est résultat de calculs qui intègrent aussi des paramètres de stratégie de course par rapport aux autres concurrents. Le bagage technique des pilotes doit-il être différent ? Grâce aux nombreuses données récoltées, des pilotes très jeunes arrivent maintenant à gagner en Formule 1 alors que cela était impossible quand je cou- rais car il fallait d’abord acquérir des connaissances pour bien régler le châssis. Renault F1 Rémi Taffin explique : « La batterie tecture du moteur pour adapter son cours des 3 dernières années, a été récupère la puissance du MGU-K limi- encombrement.

Of course as he is new to this racing lark, I had to invest in his prospective ability and buy cars for each class we race, a new DS controller and of course a pit box to put it all in, a not inconsiderable investment it has to be said, when I also have to part with the equivalent money spent on him on the other two girls! Due to his inexperience and age, he is permitted to run with magnets in his cars and Chris this week christened him with the title above, as in just a few weeks he is beginning to grasp the concept of car control and at times can keep up with some of us running with no magnets until his concentration lapses.
