I have no doubt that there are tons of exciting motor sports out there, but for me the most impressive and exciting one is Formula 1, it's such a fast and hanging to the edge of your seat sport it always has me coming back for more. If you are anything like me: like sport, love speed, got an interest in autos the way they work and how to make them faster then you will probably love Formula 1 racing.The design of a Formula One car is one that is strictly set (after all these vehicles travel at tremendous speeds, exceeding that of the average sports care and many times that of the standard vehicle). Formula One car manufacturers that do not abide by the strict regulations are not able to race their vehicles at the major competitions; it is however a rare occurrence that the rules are broken, it is an expensive infringement you see.This being said, the teams push the features and designs to the limits and the physical peaks of their ability. Ultimately their end task is to get the best speed from the vehicle at the best fuel effectiveness though technology and aerodynamic innovation. Some of these beasts are built to the same cost as aircraft and capable of intense speeds.An important part of the Formula 1 design is to create a down force so that the vehicle holds the road, now without this it would possibly do wheelies and have bad cornering abilities. It's so important to ensure that the wheels are properly grounded to the tarmac. Also needed is good traction and down force to ensure the vehicles safety at great speeds.Breaks on the F1 are as you imagine specialist and essentially allow the F1 to stop at absolutely insane speeds and temperatures. Bear in mind that normal chassis made of a metal would be heavy and not really up to the task, in this day and age carbon fibre can be used, as you can imagine the designs and specifications of F1 cars are pretty secretive!The part of the vehicle that encases the two most important parts of the vehicle is known as moncoque and contains the driver and an engine, these needs to be strong and extremely robust and provide a high level of safety for the driver. Consider also that the engine needs to be as light as possible to ensure it confides to regulatory rules etc.Additionally and finally the suspension is often changed as per each race and helps to ensure a win when out on the race front. Every track has a different set of metrics that will need to be met such as rain etc.TruckerToTrucker.com is the online superstore for new and used trucks, trailers and equipment.
