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. ...2 Ralf Schumacher (Car 17, Chassis TF105/04) First Session Classification: 24th, 1 lap completed No Lap Time Second Session Classification: 10th, 19 laps completed Lap Time: 1m33.077s (+2.382s) "It was a difficult day for everybody with little grip all around the circuit, as was evident from the number of people locking up and spinning throughout the day. We had no technical problems on my car so we could complete the programme, but we still have some work to do to find the right set-up and it will not be particularly easy to select the best tyre." PLAYING IT BY GEAR Adopting the standard third car programme for Friday, Ricardo Zonta topped the opening session of the Bahrain GP as the sun beat down on the Bahrain International Circuit. However, a technical problem prevented the Brazilian from completing the scheduled Michelin tyre evaluation in second practice and rendered the session inconclusive. Ricardo Zonta (Car 38, Chassis TF105/01) First Session Classification: 1st, 21 laps completed Lap Time: 1m31.449s (Fastest) Second Session Classification: 14th, 11 laps completed Lap Time: 1m33.443s (+2.748s) "I think we had a good opening practice session this morning, in which we were able to complete everything on our task list, including set-up and balance changes to the car. The all-important second practice proved to be somewhat troublesome after a gearbox problem kept me in the garage for most of the session. We therefore could not compare the Michelin tyres as planned, so we effectively lost our third car advantage today." BAHRAIN ACTIVITY Ricardo Zonta's technical woes could have compromised Toyota's tyre work in this afternoon's practice session, but solid work from both race drivers enabled the team to maintain momentum after a strong opening practice from Zonta. Dieter Gass – Chief Race Engineer 2 ...3 "Unfortunately, Ricardo suffered a gearbox problem in the second session today which meant that he was unable to complete the scheduled long runs to compare the two Michelin tyre compounds. This could have been slightly problematic for us today, but we managed to go through the programme with both Jarno and Ralf, so we feel that the data we have collected will give us a clear direction. We will obviously continue to make improvements in tomorrow's two practice sessions, but at the moment, the cars appear to be as competitive as in Malaysia, which bodes well for the rest of the weekend."

    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.

  • 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.
