    HITLER’S GRAND PRIX IN ENGLAND HITLER’S GRAND PRIX IN ENGLAND Donington 1937 and 1938 Christopher Hilton FOREWORD BY TOM WHEATCROFT Haynes Publishing Contents Introduction and acknowledgements 6 Foreword by Tom Wheatcroft 9 1.

The day before yesterday 166 Notes 175 Images 191 Introduction and acknowledgements POLITICS AND SPORT are by definition incompatible, and they're combustible when mixed. The 1930s proved that: the Winter Olympics in Germany in 1936, when the President of the International Olympic Committee threatened to cancel the Games unless the anti-semitic posters were all taken down now, whatever Adolf Hitler decrees; the 1936 Summer Games in Berlin and Hitler's look of utter disgust when Jesse Owens, a negro, won the 100 metres; the World Heavyweight title fight in 1938 between Joe Louis, a negro, and Germany's Max Schmeling which carried racial undertones and overtones. The fight lasted 2 minutes 4 seconds, and in that time Louis knocked Schmeling down four times. They say that some of Schmeling's teeth were found embedded in Louis's glove... Motor racing, a dangerous but genteel activity in the 1920s and early 1930s, was touched by this, too, and touched hard. The combustible mixture produced two Grand Prix races at Donington Park, in 1937 and 1938, which were just as dramatic, just as sinister and just as full of foreboding. This is the full story of those races.

  • Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Elektron 21 Alloy After Heat Treatment
    VOLUME 20 ISSUES 1-2 of Achievements in Materials January-February and Manufacturing Engineering 2007 Microstructure and mechanical properties of Elektron 21 alloy after heat treatment A. Kiełbus* Division of Materials Science and Metallurgy, Silesian University of Technology, ul. Krasińskiego 8, 40-019, Katowice, Poland * Corresponding author: E-mail address: [email protected] Received 27.10.2006; accepted in revised form 15.11.2006 Materials AbstrAct Purpose: Elektron 21 is new magnesium based casting alloy contains neodymium, gadolinium and zinc for used to at 200°C. It is a Mg-RE-Zn-Zr alloy designed for aerospace and specialty application ns. This alloy has high strength, good corrosion resistance and excellent castability. The aim of the research was to determine the effect of heat treatment parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Elektron 21 magnesium alloy Design/methodology/approach: Solution treatment was performed at 520°C/8h with water cooling. Ageing treatments were performed at 200°C/4÷96h and then quenched in air. The microstructure was characterized by JEM 2010 ARP microscope The examination of the mechanical properties was conducted on an MTS-810 servo hydraulic machine at two temperatures: ambient (ca. 20°C) and 200°C. Hardness measurements by Vickers method were performed on a ZWICK/ZHV50 hardness tester. Findings: The microstructure of the cast alloy consists of α-Mg phase matrix with precipitates of intermetallic phase Mg12(Ndx,Gd1-x) at grain boundaries. After solution treatment the Mg12(Ndx,Gd1-x) phase dissolves in the matrix. The aging treatment applied after solution treatment with air-cooling caused precipitation of a β”, β’ and β intermetallic phases.

  • Magnesium Casting Technology for Structural Applications
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Journal of Magnesium and Alloys 1 (2013) 2e22 www.elsevier.com/journals/journal-of-magnesium-and-alloys/2213-9567 Full length article Magnesium casting technology for structural applications Alan A. Luo a,b,* a Department of Materials Science and Engineering, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, USA b Department of Integrated Systems Engineering, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, USA Abstract This paper summarizes the melting and casting processes for magnesium alloys. It also reviews the historical development of magnesium castings and their structural uses in the western world since 1921 when Dow began producing magnesium pistons. Magnesium casting technology was well developed during and after World War II, both in gravity sand and permanent mold casting as well as high-pressure die casting, for aerospace, defense and automotive applications. In the last 20 years, most of the development has been focused on thin-wall die casting ap- plications in the automotive industry, taking advantages of the excellent castability of modern magnesium alloys. Recently, the continued expansion of magnesium casting applications into automotive, defense, aerospace, electronics and power tools has led to the diversification of casting processes into vacuum die casting, low-pressure die casting, squeeze casting, lost foam casting, ablation casting as well as semi-solid casting. This paper will also review the historical, current and potential structural use of magnesium with a focus on automotive applications. The technical challenges of magnesium structural applications are also discussed. Increasing worldwide energy demand, environment protection and government regulations will stimulate more applications of lightweight magnesium castings in the next few decades.

  • In Goodwood Zeigt Mercedes 120 Jahre Motorsport
    Auto-Medienportal.Net: 22.06.2014 In Goodwood zeigt Mercedes 120 Jahre Motorsport Die Siege der Mercedes-Benz-Silberpfeile sind seit 120 Jahren glänzende Höhepunkte der Motorsportgeschichte der Stuttgarter Marke. Diese Kontinuität im Motorsport passt genau zum Motto des Goodwood Festivals of Speed 2014: „Addicted to Winning – The Unbeatable Champions of Motor Sport“ („Siegessüchtig – Die unschlagbaren Meister des Motorsports“). Unter diesem Motto zelebriert Charles Gordon-Lennox, der Earl of March and Kinrara, vom Donnerstag, 26. bis Sonnabend, 29. Juni 2014 in Goodwood (Sussex, England) die Faszination von Wettkampf und Sieg auf der Rennstrecke. Mercedes-Benz Classic ist mit einem besonders starken Engagement beim Festival of Speed präsent. Über ein Dutzend legendärer Siegerfahrzeuge aus der eigenen Fahrzeugsammlung sowie zahlreiche Markenbotschafter lassen die Motorsportgeschichte der Marke lebendig werden. Zu den Höhepunkten zählt auch die in jedem Jahr aufs Neue geschaffene Skulptur „Central Feature“, die Bildhauer Gerry Judah diesmal zum Thema Mercedes-Benz-Motorsportgeschichte gestaltet. Die Skulptur ist auch in einem Update des Rennspiels „Gran Turismo 6“ enthalten, das beim Goodwood Festival of Speed Premiere hat. Ein prominenter Gast in Goodwood wird deswegen Kazunori Yamauchi sein, der Erfinder und Produzent der Gran Turismo-Reihe. Als passionierter Rennfahrer wird Kazunori Yamauchi in einem Mercedes-Benz 300 SLS am Festival teilnehmen. Diese Sportwagen- Ikone aus den 1950er-Jahren ist eine Sonderausführung des 300 SL Roadster, eines von weltweit zwei Exemplaren, die speziell für die Teilnahme an der amerikanischen Sportwagenmeisterschaft entwickelt wurden. Um seinerzeit bei diesen Rennen siegreich zu sein, wurde der serienmäßige Roadster zum SLS modifiziert. Die Präsenz von Mercedes-Benz Classic in Goodwood wird von zahlreichen Sammlern ergänzt, die mit ihren Klassikern nach Goodwood kommen.
