When someone goes to a race track what they really want to see is the wrecks. They want to see a car flipping over or even catch on fire. Even though it might look awesome from the outside of the car, inside the car it's extremely dangerous. The community of auto racing is working altogether to create
Mathematics is found everywhere in life and work and auto racing is no exception. There are many applications of math in racing. The purpose of racing is to win and in order to do that there must be a lot of math involved. If you don’t use math and use it correctly then you will not win. Mathematics is involved in racing in two ways, the car setup and scoring an measurements. The car setup involves tire pressure, down force, wedge, aerodynamic Drag, camber, track bar and valance
Auto Racing It's another Sunday and the auto racing community is getting ready for the green flag to drop. Thousands of people travel hundreds of miles to go to the track, while millions stay home to watch the event on television. The sport of auto racing is the fastest growing spectator sport today.

This paper is a look at the physics behind car racing. We look look at how we can use physics to select tires, how physics can help predict how much traction we will have, how physics helps modern cars get there extreme speed, how physics lets us predict the power of an engine, and how physics can even help the driver find the quickest way around the track. Tires are the most important part of race or any car for that mater. (Physics of Racing) After all they are the only thing that is contact
dog, and most of the time people are wondering what they are thinking. The art of racing in the rain will be a really good choice for them, it is a fiction written by Garth Stein. Throughout the book, the author used an Irish terrier as the main character who talks about his life experience through the whole book.

be training me. He told me that F1 is the highest class of single-seat open-wheel formula auto racing. It is a worldwide sport, involving an annual World Drivers Championship and World Constructors Championship, and is the most expensive sport in the world and he also said that the key to winning is good focus, track awareness and hard work. The training began the next day; I was taken to a small racing track where I was to be training over the two months. The training was split up into 2 sections
A Student's Perspective of Formula 1 Racing Websites There are 2 websites that I want to talk about. The first one is www.formula1.com. It is the official website for racing sport called Formula 1. The second one is www.f1-live.com. This website is made for big F1 fans. You can see it from the lay-out which has complete information for the fans while the first one only has just enough information and easier for new F1 fans to browse and know more about F1. www.formula1.com (formula1) has
Formula One Racing Formula One racing, or F1, is known to be the most prestigious type of auto racing in the world. Unfortunately, in the United States F1 racing is not nearly as popular as other motorsports such as Nascar. On a typical Sunday afternoon if one were to flip channels on the television, Nascar would most likely be airing on a major station. Furthermore, if one were to watch the race he or she would notice that the racetrack was packed with thousands upon thousands of people. A large
the Nürburgring takes the lives of three to twelve people and is considered to be one of the most dangerous race tracks ever made. Before the Nürburgring Germany had no permanent racing circuit despite the fact that German automobile manufacturers were at the front of automobile development. The talk of building a racing circuit came when Camille Jenatzy won the Gordon Bennett Trophy in a 90 horsepower Mercedes in 1903. With that win Germany had to host the 1904 and did so with full support of Kaiser
People who have participated in racing for the past century, have never been universally accepted as athletes. The drivers, especially those in the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) prove this misconception as incorrect with their intense training and stellar performances. Drivers on social media, assert that they are athletes, contradicting other sports stars who insist that they are not. The drivers in NASCAR and all forms of racing deserve to be given the respect of their
Nascar was founded in December 1947 by Bill France, along with others, formed the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing or Nascar to address the issues with not having large enough tracks for the fans and also address the lack or inconsistency of rules in the “sport”.

It wasn’t until 1950 that

In the past year and a half, NASCAR has revamped its penalties and violation claims towards its drivers, racecars, and the pit crew teams themselves. The new 2014 NASCAR rule book will display a new structure of guidelines that will be easier to read by the drivers and crew members. The list of penalties begins with warnings and then includes six penalty levels: P1 being the least significant and P6 being the most significant. Before the modifications were made, NASCAR had been perceived as racers
The main focus in building and designing a successful race car is making it aerodynamically efficient. However, at the same time, the car must be versatile, durable, safe, and most important, fast. The challenge for the design team is to create car that can race on any type of track, weather it be on tight corners or long straight-aways. The aerodynamics of the race car is multi-functional. The first purpose is to make it as streamline as possible. The second purpose is to provide downforce for
What are the difference between a NASCAR Sprint Cup vs Formula One and how popular is the racing industry. These are two different races with two different cars and different style of racing.The NASCAR Sprint Cup brings in around $629 million and is broadcast in the United States.

For me among all the Super Bowl Ads, 2014, the most memorable and effective one was the Budweiser’s, “Puppy love” ad. It was a heartwarming story to see an adorable puppy’s determination to hang out and be friends with his favorite famous Budweiser Clydesdale horse. This commercial tells us a remarkable story of love/bond between Labrador retriever puppy and a Clydesdale horse. First there were the majestic beautiful horses on a horse ranch, and then there was this adorable playful Labrador retriever
Automobile Racing Automobile Racing, one of the most popular sports in the world, have races run with wide coverage on television - before millions of fans. It tests the skills of the drivers, the speed capabilities of the vehicles, and the endurance of both. The first racing cars were motorized versions of horse-drawn carriages and wagons. The first race was a reliability demonstration from Chicago to Waukegan, Illinois, in November 1895, while the first American oval-track race, held at the Rhode
viewpoints on whether NASCAR is a sport. In America, 85% of people do believe that NASCAR is a sport, but the remaining 15% of people believe that it is not a sport. The late Ernest Hemingway once said, “There are only three sports: Bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering: all the rest are merely games.” I believe that there is a lot of truth to this statement, considering all three take serious courage, endurance, and strategy to accomplish. The definition of a sport is this; an activity involving
most successful racing driver on the NASCAR grid, walked through these very corridors, sat in these very benches and considering COM 114 is an engineering degree requirement, took this very class 13 years ago before graduating as a vehicular structural engineer. II. Relating to the Audience: I believe that cars have fascinated most (if not all) of you at some point of time in your life, be it their loud growly engines, sleek looks or the sheer excitement that comes along a racing weekend.
