  • ACES WILD ACES WILD the Story of the British Grand Prix the STORY of the Peter Miller
    ACES WILD ACES WILD The Story of the British Grand Prix THE STORY OF THE Peter Miller Motor racing is one of the most 10. 3. BRITISH GRAND PRIX exacting and dangerous sports in the world today. And Grand Prix racing for Formula 1 single-seater cars is the RIX GREATS toughest of them all. The ultimate ambition of every racing driver since 1950, when the com­ petition was first introduced, has been to be crowned as 'World Cham­ pion'. In this, his fourth book, author Peter Miller looks into the back­ ground of just one of the annual qualifying rounds-the British Grand Prix-which go to make up the elusive title. Although by no means the oldest motor race on the English sporting calendar, the British Grand Prix has become recognised as an epic and invariably dramatic event, since its inception at Silverstone, Northants, on October 2nd, 1948. Since gaining World Championship status in May, 1950 — it was in fact the very first event in the Drivers' Championships of the W orld-this race has captured the interest not only of racing enthusiasts, LOONS but also of the man in the street. It has been said that the supreme test of the courage, skill and virtuosity of a Grand Prix driver is to w in the Monaco Grand Prix through the narrow streets of Monte Carlo and the German Grand Prix at the notorious Nürburgring. Both of these gruelling circuits cer­ tainly stretch a driver's reflexes to the limit and the winner of these classic events is assured of his rightful place in racing history.

  • Fressingfield Oily Rag Club FORC
    Fressingfield Oily Rag Club Newsletter December 2017 FORC: “A loose affiliation of motor sport enthusiasts”. December meeting preview: For our last meeting of 2017 we welcome Stuart Rolt to Stradbroke Community Centre on Wednesday December 13th. So where to start? Stuart promises a fascinating visual presentation of the Rolt dynasty. Many of you know that before WW II Stuart's father, Tony Rolt, was an up and coming racer before hostilities drew him from Donington to, eventually, Colditz!. Post War, racing in Connaught single seaters and Nash-Healey sports-cars, led to works Jaguars, winning at Le Mans with Duncan Hamilton in 1953 in the C- type– the 'called from the bar race' - plus Connaughts in Formula 1. Eventually his research into 4-WD led to the 'F1 Tractor' the Ferguson P99, the last 'new' front engined Formula 1 car, and the only 4 wheel drive machine to win a F1 race, the 1961 Oulton Park Gold Cup, driven by Stirling Moss. That's before, like father like son, we get onto Stuart's own racing and rallying exploits which range, for starters, from Formula V and Clubmans to International Touring Cars in the 1970's – The Silverstone TT and Spa 24 Hours for example, Historic Racing in Cooper, and rallying in Porsche 911, followed. In between all this Stuart managed to fit in Chairmanship of the BRDC for nine years up to 2016. And that’s just skimming the surface! Now the P99 is back in the hands of the Rolt family, a unique and competitive sight at major historic race and hill-climb events.

Kamp Assistant Professor, Faculty of Technology Policy & Management, TU Delft An electronic version of this thesis is available at http://repository.tudelft.nl/. This page intentionally left blank EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In the context of diffusion of innovation, strategic niches that emerge prior to mass-market adoption represent an important area of focus for radically new technologies, since these are typically introduced in several such subsequent niches. A niche strategy represents a response to circumvent a market situation characterized by hampered large-scale diffusion, by which a company deliberately focuses on strategic niches in the effort to either (1) develop a marketable product application or (2) market an already developed product in the existing regime, if and only if revenue can be derived from the market introduction.

The "formula", designated in the name, refers to a set of rules with which all participants' cars must comply. The F1 season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix (from French, originally meaning great prizes), held throughout the world on purpose-built circuits and public roads. The results of each race are evaluated using a points system to determine two annual World Championships, one for the drivers and one for the constructors.
