Set the Engine Performance

Set the Engine Performance

Once the engine freeze regulations until the end of the 2010 season, is it true engine performance can not be changed again? Not really. Engine performance can still be tampered and it should be because the need will always be different engine power characteristics of a single circuit with other circuits. How do I?

There are three parameters that describe the performance of engines, ie rpm, torque, and power. Round engine rpm is expressed in the number of revolutions per minute (revs-per-minute/rpm). Aka Torque-twist moment is a quantity that express the ability to accelerate from the engine (usually its magnitude is kgf.m or lbf.ft). The greater the torque, the car will be more easily accelerated. While power is a quantity that is more general because it includes the torque and rpm. In defintif, power states the rate of energy generated in carrying out his duty engine turn the wheels. Scale power is usually expressed in bhp (brake horse power) and obtained by multiplying torque by rpm.

Although since the regulation of engine-freeze improve power, torque, and rpm is almost impossible to be pursued, but the characteristics of the engine can still be set and adjusted with the characters on each circuit. Needs engine characteristics on each circuit can be generally divided into two. On fast circuits like Monza, Gilles Villeneuve (Canada) and China, many engines will be operated at maximum rpm rpm is approached (ie between 17 500 to 19 000). And conversely, the slow circuits like Monaco and the Hungaroring (Hungary) engines are relatively often operate from a lower rpm because it will not step on the gas pedal when the car was fully conquered the slow corners.

When the engine is more often operate at almost maximum rpm, ideal character is the character needed engine that delivers maximum torque at high rpm. And conversely, if the engine operates at much lower rpm, the torque curve should be adjusted such that the maximum torque at lower rpm, where the engines are often operated

Ferrari & McLaren Team

Gerhard Berger driving for Scuderia Ferrari at...

Ferrari is very important advantages compared to the other team is committed to the race. With this commitment, the entire facility Ferrari, both for road cars to sports cars or integrated in an area and they have their own circuits, even the two circuits, Fiorano and Muhello, to test the performance of their cars. Ferrari owned circuit is one of the important capital Ferrari to outperform its competitors in the event F1. Ross Brawn even said that he prefers to have its own circuit if he must choose whether to have a test-rig facility and sophisticated wind tunnel rather than a circuit. Ross Brawn is not wrong, any sophisticated facility-test rig and wind tunnel, they still can not beat the real conditions provided in real circuits provide data needed by the engineers.

Now that though a trio of Schumacher-Todt-Brawn, has left Ferrari, Ferrari seems to glory will be hard to break. Not only because the winning team has given the legacy of a good team and organization, but also because the victory is a tradition for Ferrari. At present, it may no longer need a victory Ferrari in F1 to sell the car because the brand “Ferrari” itself is an expensive merchandise

Formula One Maximum Percentage

STUTTGART, GERMANY - JANUARY 25:  (L-R) Thomas...

Motivation works team also is not formed because of leadership and poor management team. Todt The first step is to appoint people who felt right in his position. Paolo Martinelli immediately appointed to handle engine division. Paolo immediate action, a powerful V12 engine, but too heavy and very vibrate V10 was changed to a more compact, but still powerful. When Michael Schumacher was persuaded to move from Benetton, then Ross Brawn and Rory Byrne to easily join the team. As Technical Director Ross Brawn and Rory Byrne immediate revolution in the management and team organization.

F1 technology is moving so dynamic that requires all personnel involved in it to stir too quickly. Ross Brawn told that, in the Ferrari, the determination of the concept cars in next season’s done very early, ie from the moment they see the cars of its competitors in the first GP season, which is running! Thus, in every season running, Ferrari undergo a development of two things, the development of the car at the season goes on and define the concept car for next year.

For F1 cars are very light and sensitive, the design concept is very important. In determining the concept stage, will be determined two things, namely the distance wheelbase (distance between front axle to rear axle), the magnitude of the fuel tank. Although it looks simple, but two things are very basic and a reference of all the details of the development of future cars. Because the basis of the entire development of detail design of the car, the fuel tank size and wheelbase distance will bring the basic character of the car. Ferrari aware of it, so the determination of the design phase takes a long time with a variety of considerations and evaluation of the cars that were competing in the current season as well as the strengths and weaknesses of team competitors cars.

Ferrari’s heyday was in 2012 when Ferrari’s season collecting 50% of the entire Point are available in season. Percentage is close to the maximum percentage that can be achieved in a single season team, which is 61.5%, ie when a team won position 1 and 2 in every GP in a season. In the 2004 season the Ferrari dominance is again repeated. This time, the collection points are fed more precisely than the Ferrari points in season 2002, although the percentage decline since the assessment system has changed since the F1 Season 2012.

Be Frugal and Compare Business Electricity Prices

Business electricity prices been steadily rising over the years in the UK, keeping up with the rise in residential electricity prices. Businesses all across the UK have to bear the brunt of these rising prices, along with rising business gas prices. To accommodate these rising costs, some businesses have embarked on campaigns to save energy, others have raised their prices to try and stay profitable while their costs rise. The later option is certainly not appreciated by frugal consumers who will compare prices of goods with the other shops and buy their products where the cost is the lowest.

Most businesses could learn a lesson from these frugal consumers by making sure they are paying the lowest business electricity prices as well as the lowest business gas prices.  There is a very simple and straightforward way for a business to make sure they are paying the lowest prices, all they have to do is to request a free online quote from other business energy suppliers.

While being  environmentally conscious and avoiding wasting energy is also a good way to lower  business electricity costs, the savings are negligible compared to switching suppliers for a more favorable tariff and rate plan. There is no reason any business should be passing on high energy costs to their customers by raising prices if they don’t bother to make sure they have already done everything possible to keep their energy bills as low as possible.

Ferrari Triumph Technology

Gerhard Berger, Montreal, 1995

Ferrari triumph Technology

Why would Ferrari want to win the F1 racing series? Enzo Ferrari, at the beginning  in F1 Racing Series, gives a simple answer to this question: “To Sell Cars”. Today, Ferrari is the only team that has always participated in the F1 race in every season without missing a season too!

When people hear the word “Ferrari” then what comes to mind is, sports-cars, race, or speeding. No one, Ferrari is synonymous with car racing. Although not always prevail in the event F1, Ferrari enjoyed some golden age in each decade. Worst times of the Ferrari is in the early 90′s. During the period of 5 years, since the 1991 season until the end of the 1995 season, Ferrari only managed to win two Grand Prix by Gerhard Berger in Germany GP 1994 and GP Canada Alesi in 1995. Means the Ferrari past three seasons, 1991-1994 without a win even once.
The fate of Ferrari started again improved when Michael Schumacer entered the 1996 season.

Later period is the historical period when Michael Schumacher and Ferrari synonymous with synonymous with victory.
Ferrari triumph at the end of the era of the 90s and early 2000s did not achieved easily. Victory after victory is obtained thanks to a combination of excellence three elements, namely: the quality of people, organizations, and technology.

Of the three elements, one element is paramount. Therefore, the superiority of the latter two elements are formed thanks to the management by some of the key personnel at Ferrari, Jean Todt, Ross Brawn, and of course, Michael Schumacher.
When Jean Todt was first appointed as Ferrari Team Principal by Luca di Montezemolo in 1993, Ferrari was the lowest on the charts throughout the history of Ferrari. Todt found that Ferrari has it all, engineers, facilities, and technology. But the entire facility was not used effectively
