| F1 Wind Tunnels |
(Fri, 10 Feb 2012)
|
| Aerodynamics on Formula 1 cars is a science of gaining the most grip through using the wind. Unlike with airplanes, the wings of a racing car push the car down to the track, not up in the air. The effect allows a car to slide less and turn a faster lap. To develop the best aerodynamic grip possible, F1 teams use a wind tunnel. |

But thanks to a new technology called KERS introduced in 2009, the question of driver heights and weights came back again - more relevant than ever. |

| Carbon Fiber F1 Cars |
(Fri, 10 Feb 2012)
|
| A revolution in racing car body materials in the early 1980s led to the standard Formula 1 racing car chassis of today. No longer made of a metal, today's F1 cars are made of an ultra light and strong plastic-like material called carbon fiber, which used to be more associated with the aerospace industry than with racing cars. Formula 1 engineers have become so adept at working with carbon composite materials, however, that other industries now turn to it for advice. |
