This, combined with motion platforms, and you truly feel like you are sitting in a race car, as the vehicle leans as you turn and bounce over curbs. And make no mistake: Aerodynamics matter even if you’re sitting fairly still in a racing simulator. Furthermore, it is also possible to...
But incompressible flows are commonly used also in aerodynamics/hydrodynamics of vehicles, in which many applications have a low Mach number M<0.3(figure 6). Also for extreme cases like aerodynamics in F1 , the velocity is not high enough to make the compressibility relevant (the record velocity...
“Currently what is happening in Formula 1 is that there's work to ‘break the rules’,” says FIA’s Head of Single Seater Technical Matters, Nikolas Tombazis. “One thing that has lacked in previous attempts by the FIA with new regulations is the opportunity to really try to push them ...
plus the omnipresence of Adrian Newey in a new formula that will once again be dominated by aerodynamics rather than the power unit, I’d say at this stage Max Verstappen and Red Bull look a pretty decent bet. But Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes, now with...
F1 pit crew: what they do during a pit stop How many people are in a Formula 1 pit stop team? More than 20 people make up the F1 pit crew. They are responsible for stabilising the car, changing the tyres, making adjustments to the aerodynamics, and safely releasing the car. Each t...
“The change in shape of the carcass for us is of bigger magnitude than the weight,” he comments. “If the outer shape of the tyre carcass changes, that can be huge. Even down the the mould marks, on the shoulder of the tyres, that can alter the aerodynam...
In 2021, I started to watch every race in the year, but instead of wanting to drive, I became very interested in how to race and in aerodynamics. After my research I found Adrian was the best, so I started to look for his autobiography and found this book. This book didn't just ...
As with the outrageous Aston Martin Valkyrie, the Valhalla is a race car for the road, drawing inspiration from Formula 1 and utilizing lightweight materials and active aerodynamics. The Aston's exterior boasts an exaggerated version of the company's trademark grille along with slippery bodywork. ...
AMG is more than just a badge. For over fifty years the tuning company has been producing the highest performance Mercedes in the world.
A Grand Prix is an auto race of international prestige, which can vary in terms of the type of cars raced and the rules. 10 What makes Formula One cars unique? Their advanced technology, aerodynamics, and performance standards set them apart. 10 How does Formula One differ from other Grand...
