The years of the gentleman racer scraping together sponsorship pledges in the hope of securing a race seat are long gone; likewise the sense that anything could happen on track, by drama or catastrophe, has been replaced by whole- race leaders and pit crew technology to measure telemetrics and milliseconds. Thierry Boutsen, a young racing enthusiast who gathered $500,000 in tobacco sponsorship to buy a seat in the Arrows team in 1983, would balk at this current bland era of champions “weighing the percentages” and “taking the positives” from a race. During his decade-long career that saw him race for motorsport’s biggest teams, he would race by the seat of his pants for glory while stuffing away the constant threat of calamity to the back of his mind. Born in Belgium in 1957, Boutsen quickly ascended the racing ladder via the feeder formulas of the late ‘Seventies and 186 early ‘Eighties. ------ By 1987, having finished his three-year F1 187 apprenticeship at Arrows with a reputation top: Thierry Boutsen on the victory podium in Budapest, 1990.

  • Porsche and the Triple Crown of Endurance Racing
    www.porscheroadandrace.com Porsche and the Triple Crown of endurance racing Published: 7th December 2018 By: Martin Raffauf Online version: https://www.porscheroadandrace.com/porsche-and-the-triple-crown-of-endurance-racing/ Le Mans 24 Hours, 13-14 June 1970: A jubilant Hans Herrmann and Richard Attwood are given a ride on the back of a truck as they celebrate Porsche’s first victory in the French endurance race There are three Sports Car endurance races that have been run over the past sixty-plus years that have been referred to as the ‘Triple Crown’. Arguably, some can say other races should also be included, but these three have withstood the test of time, and they are the Le Mans 24 Hours, the Sebring 12 Hours, and the Daytona 24 Hours. www.porscheroadandrace.com 12 Hours of Sebring, 26 March 1960: Porsche’s first overall win at Sebring in the USA was achieved by Olivier Gendebien and Hans Herrmann driving a 718 RS 60 Spyder The Le Mans 24 Hours started in 1923, and apart from a brief hiatus for the Second World War, it has been going ever since. The 12 Hours of Sebring was started in 1952 (it ran as a 6-hour race in 1950 and 1951) by Alec Ulmann on a World War II vintage US Air Force base, in Sebring Florida, making use of some disused runways to create a 5.2-mile circuit. Daytona, the youngest of the three races, started out of course as a NASCAR stock car track in 1957. In 1962, the France family added an International sports car race to the schedule, and the 24 hours of Daytona was born, although the first two races were 3-hour races, and then 1964 and 1965 they were 2000 km events.

  • Who Is the Best Formula 1 Driver? an Economic Approach to Evaluating Talent
    ECONOMIC ANALYSIS & POLICY, VOL. 39 NO. 3, DECEMBER 2009 Who Is The Best Formula 1 Driver? An Economic Approach to Evaluating Talent Reiner Eichenberger* and David Stadelmann Department of Economics, University Freiburg, CH-1700 Fribourg, Switzerland (Email: [email protected]) Abstract: Who is the best formula 1 driver? Until today it was impossible to answer this question because the observable performance of a driver depends both on his talent and the quality of his cars. In this paper, we for the first time separate driver talent from car quality by econometrically analyzing data covering 57 years of Formula 1 racing. Our estimates also control for the number of drivers finishing, technical breakdowns and many other variables that influence race results. While Michael Schumacher is often believed to be the best driver, he is overtaken by Juan Manuel Fangio and Jim Clark. I. INTRODUCTION Who is currently the best Formula 1 driver? Who was the best Formula 1 driver in history? And what about the Australian drivers? Many people are more interested in such questions than in the very important research puzzles commonly dealt with in economic journals. Fortunately, these questions can be answered thanks to the tools used by economists. A Formula 1 driver is fast, if he is talented and has a good car. Moreover, his racing success depends on a large number of additional factors. Individual success is determined to a large extent by factors such as the competitors’ talents and the quality of their cars, the number of competitors in a race, weather conditions during the race, and pure racing luck.

First, it requires clean measures of productivity. Second, unobserved heterogeneity at workers, firms and workers/firms level challenges the identification of the age-productivity gradient in cross- sectional data. Finally, the study of the age-productivity link requires to partial out the role of experience and to account for the selection bias that arises if less able people drop out faster than more able ones. We tackle these issues by focussing on a panel of Gran Prix Formula One drivers and show that the age-productivity link has an inverted U-shape profile, with a peak at around the age of 30-32.
