  • Passion Meets Innovation
    Passion meets Innovation 4. FIA Sportkonferenz in Turin Die Teilnahme an einer internationalen Konferenz ist Bestandteil des MBA- Fernstudienganges Motorsport-Management des Zweibrücker Fachbereichs Betriebswirtschaftslehre Zweibrücken . Die 4. FIA Sportkonferenz "Leidenschaft und Innovation: Die Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft des Motorsports” unter Leitung des FIA Präsidenten Jean Todt wurde in Turin im Centro Congressi im früheren FIAT-Werk in Lingotto abgehalten. Studierende des MBA Motorsport-Management mit Studiengangleiterin Prof. Dr. Bettina Reuter (rechts) bei der FIA Sport Conference in Turin Das Gebäude erlangte durch die Auto-Verfolgungsjagd im Kino-Kassenschlager "The Italian Job" Berühmtheit, in der das Mini-Trio auf der Lingotto-Teststrecke auf dem Hausdach von Carabinieri verfolgt wird. Jetzt war es Zentrum des FIA Kongresses mit mehr als 500 Delegierten aus 116 Ländern und den ersten Studierenden des bislang weltweit einzigen MBA Studiengangs Motorsport- Management. Das für die Durchführung der MBA Fernstudiengänge verantwortliche Institut ed-media organisierte das MBA Programm in Zusammenarbeit mit dem DMSB und der FIA. Teil des Besuchsprogramms für die sechs MBA-Fernstudierenden vom Campus Nürburgring war die Einbindung in die Konferenz, die insbesondere durch die Vielzahl der hochkarätigen Motorsport- Koryphäen am Rednerpult beeindruckte. Im letzten Jahr seiner ersten vierjährigen Amtsperiode schuf FIA-Präsident Jean Todt - früher ein Weltklasse-Copilot und Teamchef, der in so unterschiedlichen Ländern wie Monaco oder Marokko gewonnen hat - das Konzept jährlicher Motorsportkonferenzen, die rund um den Erdball von einem FIA-Mitglied abgehalten werden. Seine Idee war, diese Länder mit der Vision und den Werkzeugen auszustatten, um das Motorsport-Wachstum vor Ort voranzutreiben, oder sie - wie es in manchen Gegenden der Fall ist - zu ermutigen, Wettbewerbe zu etablieren, indem man einfache Rennstrecken für Autos oder Karts baut oder sichere und nachhaltige Meisterschaften gründet.

The Stewards received two protests from Haas F1 Team (“Haas”), one against Car 31 (Driver Esteban Ocon) and one against Car 11 (Driver Sergio Perez) of the Racing Point Force India F1 Team. 2. The identical protests alleged that “Force India Mercedes” (“FIM”) (Racing Point Force India F1 Team or “RPFI”) is not a “constructor” within the meaning of such terms as set out in Article 6.3 and Appendix 6 of the 2018 Formula One Sporting Regulations and accordingly asserted that FIM is not eligible to enter such cars in the 2018 FIA Formula One World Championship. 3. Haas and FIM representatives were summoned to a hearing of the Stewards which commenced at 1100 hrs (UAE time) Friday November 23. The FIA was also invited to be represented. 4.

    15/11/11 Design Analsis of the Lotus Seven S4 (Tpe 60) Conneions You are here: Home » Content » Design Analysis of the Lotus Seven S4 (Type 60) Design Analsis of the Lotus Seven S4 (Tpe 60) Module b: Andrew R. Barron. The design target of the Lotus Seven S4 (Type 60) was to aimed at meeting several requirements: Lower cost of production, in particular the chassis and the hand beaten aluminum panels. Reduce the time of manufacture from the 12 hours for the Series 3. Find a market to a wider owner base with improved driver comfort and weather protection. Compete with sports cars from major manufacturers, such as MG Midget and Triumph Spitfire Provide a first step on the ladder of Lotus ownership. Take advantage of the 1970s “beach buggy” craze. The success of the design of the Seven S4, and the choice of various components, should be considered with regard to these goals. As such the S4 was a rather clever piece of design that largely overcame the cost problems of the Seven S3. Chassis and bod Although the Peter Lucas designed chassis of the Type 60 Seven S4 is basically a tubular frame design, it is significantly simplified as compared to the proceeding Seven models. Using steel square upper and lower side tubes with triangulation and cross members with square steel tubes, the main chassis was simple in design (Figure 1 (#id3640890) ). A rear frame was made from round tubular steel. The upper rear chassis doubled as the attachment point for the fuel tank, the seat belts, and the body to the chassis.
