thread baru.... bagus gak ya...

tak terlintas pulak aku nak buka..

apa pun thanks shadows

Azhargoth

kedalamnya mungkin muat..kelebaran dia aku agak sangsi sikit... ...aa..jgn marah...jgn marah aa..nanti kena jual...

aku suka front wing melengkung tu tapi belakang lak kecik sgt :geram:

apa yang hang paham....

abg azhargoth@ijan ni dia memang jenih pedajei org....

Dah alang2 sembang pasal cockpit..



Driving Position
One of the most important things in racecar dynamics is the position of thecenter of gravity. Since it helps with maintaining high speeds while cornering, is speaks for itself that the driver's position is also important to optimise this result. Therefore, a driver's seat is veryclose to the bottom of the car, with the driver's complete positionbeing like lying in a comfortable chair. If you consider the rightpicture, you can see how low the lowest part of the driver really is tothe ground. Because of aerodynamic purposes since the introduction ofhigh noses, the drivers' feet are also higer above the ground than his backside.

Seat
To give the driver the maximum possible comfort in the small cockpitto whitstand the forces in such a car, each seat is made specifically for a driver. During the pre-season, each driver takes part of aseat-fitting session at the factory of his team. In this process, animprint is made from the driver's body, to make it perfectly fit intothe available space in a Formula One cockpit. Such a seat is made from carbon fibre, because of its high strenght and low weight. It is furthermore refined with polymers, and at some teams covered with asuede inside for comfort and solid positioning. The Williams F1 teamfor instance covers its seats with alcantara, a very comfortable andwear-resistive material. It is important that these materials do notburn, do not increase the temperature of the seat and create as few aspossible static electricity because of the friction of the driver inhis seat during a race.Just like in fighter jets, f1 drivers are kept in their seats with 5-point   seatbelts. These can be released in case of emergency by pressing the point   where all seperate belts come together, at the driver's belly. Due to the small   size of the cockpit, a driver cannot fasten his seatbelts by himself, so when   starting for a lap or race, he needs help of a mechanic to fasten him in his seat.


Pedals
A while ago, we still saw drivers shifting gears like in normal cars, pulling   and pushing a gear stick while keeping the clutch down with a third pedal, exactly   as it was in normal road cars. Then, a certain John Barnard introduced the electronic   gear shifting, which allowed the drivers to shift gears with buttons on the   steering wheel. A little later, semi-automatic gearboxes were introduced to   the world of formula one, and made the clutch redundant. That reduced the drivers'   pedals to two, and thus most or all are driving a formula one car like a kart,   throttling with the right foot, and braking with the left.Pedals are usually made of very lightweight titanium, and have special suppports   to avoid the driver's feet slipping off.

aku pernah tgk kat 5th Gear cara training utk pelumba F1

bleh tahan jugak kena betul2 fitness..

kalo tak fitness boleh terlentok time race

Azhargoth

Ya kalau abang besar pi training seminggu sure slim fit....

weta_studio

itu aku tak nak cakap ape la..

Yo-Ya

aku cuma gelak aje...

Yo-Ya

kadang2 aku duk fikir gak.....

tempat duduk pemandu tu kecil aje....macam mana la pemandu2 F1 ni mengawal staring, mesti tangan/siku terhantuk kat dinding....

How to keep an F1 car cool: Renault R29



The new regulations do not only create problems in finding downforce,but they also give engineers a harder time in trying to cool the enginedown. More specifically, since shark gills, chimneys or any othercooling opening in the sidepods is forbidden, all radiator air mustcome out of the sidepods at the back. Renault have therefore taken asimilar approach to Ferrari by making the sidepod some kind of a tubethat direct hot air towards the rear. Such wide sidepod however allowsit to have a big undercut and be low, two very interesting propertiesto ensure the efficiency of the rear wing.

One problem at hand is however the rear suspension components thatprotrude the sidepod body, but a titanium wrapping around thecomponents saves reliability.

Also marked in the image is the shark fin, still present to stabilisethe car while cornering. The fin, as well as the rear wing end plateshave remained practically the same.

air turbulence kat belakang keta makin tambah ah gini, makin payah nak pintas ah

weta_studio

ko tgk la pemandu F1 rata2 je badan tak besar sgt..sesuai nak masuk kokpit ngam2 badan..cuma yg nampak besar leher diorang pasal nak tampung G-Force yg kuat..

aku pernah race go-kart..mmg tak same la dgn F1..tapikan mmg penting gak seat kokpit sesuai dgn badan.

aku race time korner nak pelanting keluar je..sebab tekanan G-force tu kuat..mata berpinar2 tgk trek taopi seronok.Abis race sakit belakang bontot rasa kebas
nak buat mcmane..maybe duduk seat dlm kokpit lagi selesa utk race yg lame

nak bagi asap lebih sikit kat orang belakang
