 Introduction
Formula-1 is the one of the best race in the world.
The cars are burning the roads, to give perfect
Performance. It is very popular in European nations.
All American so an motor companies are gathering together
To give people an enjoy of V-engine sound and Driving
Techniques.
It is so thrilling, surprising and costly.

 Engines
• For a decade F1 cars had run with 3.0 litre normally-aspirated V10
engines, but in an attempt to slow the cars down, the FIA mandated that
as of the 2006 season the cars must be powered by 2.4 litre naturally-
aspirated engines in the V8 configuration that have no more than four
valves per cylinder.
• As of the start of the 2006 season most engines on the grid rev up to
19,000 rpm. The new 2.4L V8 engines are reported to develop between
720 hp and 750 hp.

• The engines produce over 100,000 BTU per minute of heat that must
be dumped, usually to the atmosphere via radiators and the exhaust,
which can reach temperatures over 1,000 degrees Celsius. They
consume around 650 litres of air per second. Race fuel consumption
rate is normally around 75 litres per 100 kilometres travelled.
• As of the 2006 Chinese Grand Prix all development of engines will be
frozen until 2009, meaning that the teams will use engines of the same
spec for the next two seasons. The end of the engine freeze has been
suggested to be the beginning of bio-fuel.

 Transmission
• Formula One cars use semi-automatic sequential gearboxes with six or
seven forward gears and one reverse gear. The driver initiates gear
changes using paddles mounted on the back of the steering wheel and
electro-hydraulics perform the actual change as well as throttle control.
• The new seamless shift gearbox, eliminate the split-second loss of
drive during a gear change. The ultimate advantage of this is said to be
from five to ten seconds over a complete race distance, which is a
significant gain when races are sometimes only won by three or less
seconds.

 Aerodynamics
• The cars' aerodynamics are designed to provide maximum downforce
with a minimum of drag; every part of the bodywork is designed with
this aim in mind.
• F1 car produces much more downforce than any other open-wheel
formula; for example the Indycars produce downforce equal to their
weight at 190 km/h, while an F1 car achieves the same downforce at
130 km/h.

 Construction
The cars are constructed from
composites of carbon fibre and
similar ultra-lightweight
(and incredibly expensive to
manufacture) materials.
The minimum weight permissible
is 605 kg including the driver,
fluids and on-board cameras.
However, all F1 cars weigh some
as little as 440 kg., so teams add
ballast to the cars to bring them up
to the minimum legal weight.
The advantage of using ballast
is that it can be placed anywhere
in the car to provide ideal weight
distribution

 Steering wheel
• The wheel can be used to alter traction control settings, change gears, apply rev
limiter, adjust fuel air mix, change brake pressure and call the radio. Data such
as rpm, laptimes, speed and gear is displayed on an LCD screen.
• The wheel alone can cost about $40,000, and with carbon fibre construction,
weighs in at 1.3 kilograms.

 Fuel
• Formula One fuel cannot contain compounds that are not found in
commercial gasoline. Blends are tuned for maximum performance in
given weather conditions or different circuits.
• To make sure that the teams and fuel suppliers aren't violating the fuel
regulations, the FIA requires Elf, Shell, Mobil, and the other fuel teams
to submit a sample of the fuel they are providing for a race. At any time,
FIA inspectors can request a sample from the fueling rig to compare the
"fingerprint" of what is in the car during the race with what was
submitted.

 Tyres & Brakes
• By regulation, the tyres feature a minimum of four grooves in them, with the intention of
slowing the cars down. They can be no wider than 355 mm and 380 mm at the front and
rear respectively. A tyre is built to last just one race distance, a little over 300 km.

• These brakes are designed and manufactured to work in extreme temperatures, up to

1,000 degrees Celsius. The driver can control brake force distribution fore and aft to
compensate for changes in track conditions.
• An average F1 car can decelerate from 100-0 km/h in about 17 metres. Usual braking
forces for an F1 car are 4.5 g to 5.5 g when braking from 300 km/h.

 Performance
• Every F1 car on the grid is capable of going from nought to 160 km/h and back to nought in
less than five seconds. Grand Prix cars can negotiate corners at significantly higher speeds
than other racing cars because of the intense levels of grip and downforce.
• Cornering speed is so high that Formula One drivers have strength training routines just for
the neck muscles. The combination of light weight (605 kg), power (950 bhp),
aerodynamics, and ultra-high performance tyres is what gives the F1 car its performance
figures.
• The principal consideration for F1 designers is acceleration, and not simply top speed.

 Forward
acceleration
• 0 to 100 km/h: 1.9 seconds
• 0 to 200 km/h: 3.9 seconds
• 0 to 300 km/h: 8.4 seconds
The acceleration figure is usually
1.4 g up to 200 km/h, which
means the driver is pushed back
in the seat with 1.4 times his
bodyweight.

 Deceleration
• The carbon brakes in combination with the aerodynamics produces
truly remarkable braking forces.
• The deceleration force under braking is usually 4 g, and can be as
high as 5-6 g. The drivers also utilise 'engine braking' by downshifting
rapidly.
• As a result of these high braking forces, an F1 car can come to a
complete stop from 300 km/h in less than 3.5 seconds.

 Turning acceleration
• An F1 car is designed principally for high-speed cornering, thus the
aerodynamic elements can produce as much as three times the car's
weight in downforce, an F1 car to corner at amazing speeds, seeming
to defy the laws of physics.
• As an example of the extreme cornering speeds, the Blanchimont and
Eau Rouge corners at Spa-Francorchamps are taken flat-out at above
300 km/h.

 Top Speeds
• Top speeds are in practice limited by the longest straight at the track
and by the need to balance the car's aerodynamic configuration
between high straight line speed (low downforce) and high cornering
speed (high downforce) to achieve the fastest lap time.
• The top recorded speed on track was 372 km/h at Monza in 2005.
