History of the Ferrari Ferrari, when most people think of this word they think of two things: speed and sport. Ferrari is one of the most distinguished cars in history. It has won more races than almost any other cars racing. It is also just delicate a machine as it is the fast and furious sports car. Ferrari has come a great distance since its begins in the stock races onto the modern road. It has been compared with such great cars as the Bugatti and Alfa Romeo. In my report I will tell you
at the time, with only two in Italy. It wasn’t until the later 1920s, where Ferrari, a well-known sports car company today, joined the ranks of Fiat and Alfa Romeo. With the birth of Ferrari at a pivotal time in history, Enzo Ferrari was able to an extremely successful automobile company that is still being manufactured today. If it were not for Enzo Ferrari, the company would have never come about. Enzo Anselmo Ferrari was born to a family of metalworkers on the outskirts of Modena in February
tires in an effort to occupy the same piece of race track to be set up correctly for the turn ahead. Other points of interest are the pit stops and the strategies that the various teams use in order to make a fast pit stop. A world-class team such as Ferrari can refuel a car, change four wheels and tires, and wipe off the driver’s helmet in as little as 6.8 seconds. The technology used in the sport is another drawing point of its popularity. State- of-the-art computers are used to track the car’s every

The word supercar is thrown around describing various high performance cars, but only applying to few. This begs the question; what makes a car a supercar? There are many factors that a vehicle must satisfy before it can be considered a supercar. A few of these factors include, performance, brand name, and exclusivity. Performance is made up of three parts: handling, power, and speed. Brand name is important because of heritage and history. Exclusivity is important because of its rarity, price,
to this lifestyle? They have an addiction to speed. The six-cylinder engine fuels this “need for speed.” Some may think that their two hundred thousand dollar car is fast, with these engine modifications will have an Accord blowing the doors off a Ferrari. The six-cylinder engine has six pistons pumping in six cylinders; hence, the name. Fuel is injected and burned; causing gas compression (picture a shaken soda bottle). This compression forces the pistons up and down that move your car. With compression
Bizzarrini BZ-2001, you’d see that there are no bounds to the imagination of Italian car stylists. The BZ-2001 is the work of Giotto Bizzarrini whose portfolio includes many past exotic cars. Right now, the BZ-2001 rides on the tubular chassis of a Ferrari Testarossa, and is powered by the Ferrari’s 380-horsepower flat-12-cylinder engine. But true to past Bizzarrini designs, plans are afoot to switch to American small-block V-8 power, and to discard the Ferrari’s frame for a chassis built solely of
"Only YOU can prevent forest fires". This famous quote, by Smokey the Bear, is a statement that essentially defines momentum. Momentum, in the case of forest fires, is detrimental momentum. We've all seen the commercial, the bright red Ferrari driving down the road, flicking a cigarette out the window. It rolls onto a pile of dry leaves, and suddenly, the leaf is smoking! Oh no! The leaves have caught fire and it is spreading to a nearby tree! Soon, nearby trees have caught fire, and thus the momentum
What's up! I stepped out from the yellow Ferrari GXcT second edition, recalling when was the last time I landed my feet on my beloved hometown. Everything had changed. After three decades being isolated on an island for a government top secret project, I am finally freed. The first place that I wish to visit after being alienated is my high school. So, off I go trying to locate the school based on the information on my car’s databank screen. Before my eye is a 30-storey building. As my car
site and assuming Ferris’ house is ten minutes away the journey begins. It is assumed that Ferris and Cameron pick up Sloane at 10 a.m. from school so this is when the timing starts. From school they head to downtown Chicago in Cameron dad’s 1961 Ferrari GT California, which has a top speed of 155 mph . Despite this we can assume that with Ferris driving, and him being a very daring and confident teenager, he was likely driving between 80 and 90 mph on the open freeways to downtown. Ferris had to
Eugene Ely “Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything” - Plato. This means that you can always do what you want to do like fly for instants. You can sit and imagine flying but some other people get up and actually fly. In this essay I am going to explain Eugene Ely’s childhood, the beginning of his career, his significant accomplishments, and the impact he put on the world. In Eugene Ely’s childhood

Flirting and teasing is the main focus in this love, and they see love as a desiring to have fun with each other, such as teasing indulge and playing harmless pranks on each other.

Race ace Randy Pobst loved it, we loved it, and aspiring Ferrari owners surely love it even more. It’s pretty good around the figure eight too, needing 23.6 seconds of all-around pleasurable driving to make it around” (Kong 1). Most critics will agree that American supercars cannot compare to those from European
It really all started at the end of the first lap of 1988 Portuguese Grand Prix. Aryton Senna and Alain Prost were nearing the end of their first season driving together in the totally dominant Mclaren Honda team. All season long, the tension between these two great drivers had been building as the battle for the drivers crown intensified. But, even the most informed observer in Portugal could never have dreamt of what was about to be unleashed along with its impact on the consequences for Formula
Based on previous mentioned, the major disruptive change was the engine. A smaller and hybrid engines was required by FIA since the world topic “To reduce CO2 emissions”. It was a dramatic change. It was an industry problem. Red bull, Ferrari and Mercedes also had this problem. As this case points out: Teams had to develop new technologies, drivers had to adjust to new car dynamics, audiences had to appreciate potentially slower races, with quieter turbo engines. It could be a good choice
I lay on the hospital bed unable to move my legs and a throbbing pain in my head. Thoughts continuously entered and left my head and to me the room was going in circles.

It was a humid day in Barcelona I had just arrived to the Barcelona International Airport and I had been told
There have been many great race car drivers through racing history, but almost none of them have achieved what Michael Schumacher has during his entire career. A motor sport enthusiast since childhood, Schumacher, whose career spawns from the late 80s up until now, has achieved almost everything a race car driver could wish for: world championships, lap records, most-wins, most podiums, countless awards, etc. This is why according to many experts he is one of the most important and influential sportsmen
The Death of Ayrton Senna Often in people's lives an event can happen that is forever remembered as one of the most important. Be it a family story, or something that has absolutely nothing to do with the person, the event is deeply engraved in the individual's mind and will always stay with him or her. This happened when I was twelve years old. I have been a car-racing fan since the age of nine and ever since I started getting into the world of the Formula 1 World Championship, one driver started
