Interesting Facts and Unique World Of Formula 1 Racing
Formula 1 is the famous car race in the world which contains about things that are well advanced in terms of technology and other aspects. So do not be surprised if you discover interesting facts about Formula 1, which probably will make you surprised. The following are facts about F1:
1. F1 car can go from 0 to 160 km / h and back to 0 in just 4 seconds
2. F1 engine for the race only lasted for 2 hours before the engine exploded, to the car market can typically last up to 20 years
3. F1 engines spin up to 18000rpm which generally means that the piston moves up and down 300 times a second
4. F1 car made up of 80,000 components, if the car is assembled with an accuracy of only 99.9% of cars are still able to walk but with 80 errors assembly
5. Design aerodynamics and down force (force push down) the F1 car is very important, even a small plane can fly at lower speeds than F1 cars
6. Without a system of good aerodynamics and down force, F1 cars can lose control and place wheel spin (wheel spin but the car remains in place) at a speed of only 160 km / h when the F1 cars generally have a speed of more than 300 km / h
7. The resulting style down force front and rear wing F1 car was great. As I drove over 160 km / h, the F1 car can generate downward compressive force equals the weight of the car
8. On the road races such as Monaco Grand Prix, F1 cars down force has the ability to lift manhole covers. Hence, manhole covers must be welded before the match
9. Normal car tires can last 60,000 to 10,000 km, while the F1 racing tire designed only lasted for 90-120 km course
10. During the race, racing tires weigh about 0.5 kg loss due to wear
