Fórmula 1 2008 - Filipe Gonçalves - 02-02-2008
Austrália pode saltar do calendário
BERNIE ECCLESTONE DEIXA O AVISO
A Austrália, que recebe o Mundial há cerca de 25 anos, pode perder a prova para países como a Rússia, Índia ou Coreia do Sul. O contrato termina em 2010 e são poucas as probabilidades de ser renovado.
"Talvez não queiramos ir à Austrália. Os nossos custos são altíssimos lá e o retorno é muito baixo. Isso é muito mau para nós. Temos vários lugares que desejam a F1 e parece que o vosso governador não quer. Podemos fazê-lo feliz e fazer outras pessoas felizes", afirmou Bernie Ecclestone.
Segundo John Brumby, governador de Victoria, a cidade perdeu cerca de 120 milhões de dólares desde que passou a receber a F1, mais concretamente desde 1996. Mesmo levantando muitas questões, o patrão da Fórmula 1 avisou que a única forma de tornar a Austrália rentável passa por realizar uma corrida nocturna.

ArrayPS2: Interessante falar-se na equipa que "se preocupa com o ambiente" (deixa estar, também chamo hipócrita ao Al Gore), mas depois dizer-se que o que interessa na F1 é performances puras. Deixo-te a pergunta Artur, se o que interessa é as performances puras, porque razão não fazem antes sprints de 1 volta, sem mais ninguém em pista? Mais performante que isto... :noworry:[/quote]
Question
Adam:
Is F1 racing considered the fastest race on earth? I'm an avid motorcycle racer, but have been told, that motorcycles couldn't hold a tune to F1 racing. On a side note, what is a 0-60 time of an F1 race car?
Thanks!
Answer
Hello Joe, thanks for the question.
Yes, F1 racing is the fastest, but there are certain caveats, for example drag racing represents the greatest acceleration (0-60mph in 0.2s and 0-100mph in 0.5s)and oval racing may well have the highest average speed (no braking/changing gear).
In terms of acceleration, 0-60-mph for an F1 car will be around 2.3-2.7 seconds, 0-100mph in 3.5-4.0s. This compares with a Suzuki GSX R1000 of 0-60 in 3.5s and 0-100 in 6.3s. Top speeds are around 220mph (F1) and 180mph for the bikes.
The bikes have a far smaller contact patch with the ground through which to generate traction, less drag but less adhesion too.
Rocket-powered dragsters reach 300mph in under 5s(!!!) and can get near 400mph at the end of the quarter mile. I believe the record may be 386mph in 3.58s by Sanny Miller in his car Vanishing Point at Lake George in 1984. His nose and ears bled.
In 1954 at 43 years old, Dr John Paul Strapp, a research officer at Edwards air force base, built a rocket-powered sled to investigate the effects of acceleration and decelaeration on the human body. He went from rest to 632mph in 5s and decelerated thereafter with a force on his body of 40g. When he came round he was temporarily blinded owing to his eyeballs becoming fused to their lids.
<span style="color:#008080">I'd say Joe that drag racing was the fastest on earth, but in terms of vehicles racing against each other at top speed, its F1 and Indycar that come out top.:noworry:
Fórmula 1 2008 - Artur Nunes - 02-02-2008
ArrayDeixo a pergunta (até porque sei a resposta, mas sim, desta vez serei "chico-esperto"): porque razão os F1s continuam a ter as rodas "nuas"?[/quote]
<span style="color:#006400">Open wheel car<!--sizec--><!--/sizec-->
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Open-wheel car (Often single-seater car, in UK English) describes cars with the wheels outside the car's main body. In the majority of cases they have only one seat. Open-wheel cars contrast with street cars, stock cars, or touring cars, which have their wheels below the body or fenders. Open-wheel cars are usually purpose-built for racing, frequently with a degree of sophistication unknown in other forms of motorsport.
In the United States, it is common to refer to open wheel cars as Indy Cars because of their recognizable appearance at the annual Indy 500. However, these vehicles have also historically been called champ cars (short for 'championship car') due to their racing heritage at the highest levels of competition even prior to the Indy 500.
Design
A typical open-wheeler has a minimal cockpit sufficient only to enclose the driver's body, with the head exposed to the air. In modern cars, the engine is often located directly behind the driver, and drives the rear wheels. Depending on the rules of the class, many types of open-wheeler have wings at the front and rear of the vehicle, as well as a very low and virtually flat undertray that helps achieve additional aerodynamic downforce pushing the car on to the road.
Some major races, such as the Monaco Grand Prix (sanctioned by Formula One) and the Long Beach Grand Prix (sanctioned by Champ Car), are held on temporary street circuits. However, most open-wheel races are on dedicated road race circuits, such as Road America in the US, Nurburgring in Germany, and the Bahrain International Circuit in the Middle East. In the United States, some top-level open wheel events are held on oval "superspeedways." The most famous and well-attended oval race in the world is the Indianapolis 500 in Speedway, Indiana, sanctioned by the IndyCar Series.
Open-wheeled racing is among the fastest in the world. Speeds on ovals can range in constant excess of 210-220 mph (335-350 km/h), and at Indianapolis in excess of 230 mph (370 km/h). In 1996, Paul Tracy recorded a trap speed of 256.948 mph (413.52 km/h) at Michigan International Speedway. In 2000, Gil de Ferran set the one-lap qualifying record of 241.426 mph (388.54 km/h) at California Speedway. Even on tight non-oval street circuits such as the Grand Prix of Toronto, open-wheel Champ Cars attain speeds of 190 mph (305.77 km/h)!
Driving an open wheel car is substantially different from driving a car with fenders. Virtually all Formula One drivers spent some time in various open-wheel categories before joining the F1 ranks. Open-wheel vehicles, due to their light weight, aerodynamic capabilities, and powerful engines, are often considered the fastest racing vehicles available, and therefore, among the most challenging to master. <span style="color:#FF0000">Wheel-to-wheel contact is dangerous, particularly when the forward edge of one tire contacts the rear of another tire, resulting in the vehicle being suddenly and powerfully flung upwards.
The lower weight of an open wheel racecar allows for better performance. While the exposure of the wheels to the airstream causes a very high aerodynamic drag at high speeds, it allows improved cooling of the brakes, which is important on road courses with their frequent changes of pace.:noworry:

Arrayps: . A propósito, os F1 que são apresentados, carenados, são na mesma F1: monolugares, sem luzes. Houve uma altura em que os regulamentos da F1 permitiam carenagens, mas sem outras modificações. Fica-te mal, não havia necessidade, custa-me ver alguem com cultura e conhecimentos enveredar por espertezas, fingindo não saber o que muito bem sabe apenas para manter o argumento (falso) vivo. :notrust:
Já vi o que (se) pretende(s), fico por aqui, volto quando for para falar de F1 2008.:noworry:[/quote]

O Dauer era baseado no 962 dos anos 80, não o contrário.
O Nissan nunca foi considerado um protótipo (era um GT1).
O Toyota GT-One...hmmm, nunca consegui compreender como homologaram aquilo para a estrada :confused::confused::confused: Bem, também correu como GT1 em 1998, tendo sido ligeiramente retocado para 1999, quando correu como protótipo (motor diferente).
