more. But to win, drivers need information and instinct. Data gathered from high-tech, onboard lasers that are run on each track is uploaded to simulators, giving drivers and engineers a chance to see how car prototypes handle the challenges—and what changes can be made before each race. ...
A Formula 1 race car’s engine will prompt for a rebuilding after a relatively few miles. That’s because the engine is required to run at quite high revolution rates (almost 19,000 rpm) to generate such substantial amounts of power. Running a car’s engine at very high rpms leads to...
