Howmet TX, the only 'turbine car' to win an official race
In the 1960s, all sorts of innovations were being implemented in motorsport, turning the racetracks into a true open-air laboratory. One of the ideas that emerged involved replacing traditional piston engines with gas turbines, similar to those used in airplanes. The idea seemed crazy at first, but it was gaining more and more attention from prominent figures at the time. One of the interested parties was Howmet, a company primarily focused on the aerospace industry. With the encouragement of Ray Heppenstall, the company built the Howmet TX, a car that initially faced challenges but eventually became the only winner of its kind in world motorsport.

Cosworth DFV, the engine that dominated Formula One
Просмотров 1,8 тыс.5 месяцев назад
After Climax exited F1, the Lotus team had a problem on their hands: they needed a powerful and efficient engine to compete mainly against Brabham and its Repco engines. Following an agreement with the (new) company Cosworth, a series of meetings and agreements set the production of the DFV in motion, a naturally aspirated V8 engine that quickly dominated the category like never before. Startin...
Three titles in ten years: Jackie Stewart, the flying scot
Просмотров 8985 месяцев назад
Few drivers have done more for F1 than Jackie Stewart. Nicknamed "The Flying Scot," he won the world championship three times, raced in the Indy 500, Can-Am, and F2, and was also a TV commentator and team owner. He received numerous honors, including being knighted by Great Britain. Beyond his achievements on the track, his greatest contribution was his fight for better conditions in the sport,...

The first Brazilian victory at the Indianapolis 500 was hard-fought: despite being dominant, Emerson Fittipaldi had to contend with yellow flags, entire packs of backmarkers, and pit stop errors. Against the Brazilian, drivers like Al Unser Jr., Rick Mears, and Michael Andretti kept up the pressure, with Little Al creating one of the most iconic moments of the historic race.

The six-wheeler cars of F1: Tyrrell P34, March 2-4-0 and Williams FW08B
Просмотров 5 тыс.6 месяцев назад
In a time when practically all teams used the same engines, daring design was essential. Even with all the innovation emerging, nothing prepared F1 fans for the P34. The legendary car designed by Derek Gardner for Tyrrell wasn't a big winner, but it had its glories in the hands of Patrick Depailler, Jody Scheckter, and Ronnie Peterson. The four small wheels forming the front axle had a single m...
Ferrari 512 S/M: the italian answer against Porsche
Просмотров 17 тыс.6 месяцев назад
In the early 1970s, motorsport was making great strides in terms of speed. Aerodynamics began to receive special attention from manufacturers, both in Formula 1 and in the World Sportscar Championship. At that time, the cars competing in endurance races had performance levels comparable to those of single-seater category cars, and Ferrari paid a lot of attention to the competition. Focusing on ...

Top 5: When the last place wins the race (F1)
Просмотров 1,9 тыс.7 месяцев назад
Winning an F1 race isn't easy. Winning after dropping to last is even tougher. In fact, it's such a difficult feat that only 5 drivers have managed to accomplish it (and one of them did it twice!). Of all these instances, one wasn't considered: Fernando Alonso's victory at the 2008 Singapore GP, influenced by the manipulation carried out by Flavio Briatore, the infamous "Singaporegate." Other t...
The race nobody wanted to win: the 1982 Monaco GP
Просмотров 5 тыс.8 месяцев назад
Formula One has experienced many unusual situations throughout its history. One of these occurred at the traditional Monaco Grand Prix in its 1982 edition: in the last three laps, one driver after another retired, always after taking the lead. In an increasingly shorter grid, the one who managed to stay on the track emerged victorious. It was the most chaotic final laps of all time, a GP which ...
The end of an era: the fall of Brabham F1 team

Born in a romantic period of Formula 1, the Brabham team collected victories during the 60s, 70s, and 80s. The team created by three-time champion Jack Brabham remained alive on the grid until the mid-80s, when a series of issues forced the team to withdraw. After a year out, the iconic name returned to compete in the category, but much had already changed, and Brabham was no longer the victori...

Up until the 1989 San Marino Grand Prix, the rivalry between Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost was relatively calm, although there were occasional intense moments in their battle for victory. The McLaren team was the main adversary for the rest of the grid, and in the previous year they had dominated the competition. In '89, everything seemed to point towards a repeat of their '88 dominance, with bo...

In the case of americans the proximity and quantity of cars favor big accidents, which in some cases involve more than half of the participants.

Extreme ground effect in F1: Brabham BT46B and Lotus 88
Просмотров 1,7 тыс.9 месяцев назад
The Venturi effect (or Venturi tube) was the primary element used in the racing cars of Formula 1 from the late '70s to the early '80s. The technology mimics the effect of an airplane wing but in reverse: to keep the car on the ground, it reduces the air pressure underneath, allowing the higher pressure above (which is greater) to push it down to the ground. Two notable examples of its operatio...

    Him Hall was doing skirts and fans in Can-Am 7 years earlier. Chapman went and visited with him at a Can-Am race. Hall pioneered wings, movable aerodynamic devices, side-mounted radiators, semi-automatic transmissions, and composite monocoque chassis structures, all of them innovations later adopted by and still present in every Formula 1 car.

    [In a tone with sounding impressed] Well! This video was impressive for the multiple video clips that adhered to the presentation topic. Why is that an issue? There are loads of RUclips videos out there that displays images in the videos that have nothing to do with the presentation topic; which subtracts from the video's credibility. One case in point: The sports car endurance racing battles between the Porsche 917 and Ferrari 512 in the early 1970s, where the RUclips presenter, speaking about the Ferrari 512, was showing the image of a Lola T70Mk3 Coupe . . . a big goof! So, considering the newness of this YT channel, the producer did well with displaying images in keeping with the presentation topic.
