Radoje, znas li stogod vise o toj fotki?

 

Ko je ovaj pozadi u kratkim rukavima? Na prvi pogled izgleda kao Fabio Taglioni - ali taj nema veze sa Ferrarijem. A nije ni Luca Montezemolo, ovo je daleko pre njegovog vremena...

 

I sve nesto mislim - jbt, kad je poslednji put Ferrari (ili bilo ko) pobedjivao na Firestone gumama...

Jedino sto znam je da je na slici bolid Krisa Ejmona na trci za Vn Britanije 1969. na Silverstonu.

 

Evo jos par slika istog bolida:

 

 

 

Mada, sad kad gledam broj je drukcije ofarban na gornjoj slici, moguce da je ona sa nekog testa. Donje dve su definitivno sa Silverstona.

Nedavno preminuli Leo Kinunen i njegove modifikacije bolida Sartis TS16:

 

 

Ovo je inace ista sasija sa kojom se Kinunen takmicio u F1 1974. (tada bez modifikacija). Nije jasno koja je svrha ovih modifikacija jer bolid se nikada nije takmicio ovako konfigurisan. Erboks je uradjen po pravilima za 1976, mnogo oplate je skinuto, smanjeno, olaksano.

 

Ovako je bolid izgledao u svom originalnom izdanju:

Definitivno egzotika:

1968 Miller-Lotus F-B

 

Designed and built by George Miller, senior Pontiac Transmission Designer at the time. Rather than steel tubing or sheet aluminum monocoque chassis it utilizes a stiff, lightweight aluminum honeycomb monocoque sheathed in composites, and joined by aluminum gussets. Miller had access to the Pontiac wind tunnel and with extensive testing; they developed a unique high down force body, well ahead of its time. The chassis rolls on Lola T-70 wheels, which are suspended by upper and lower A-arms in the front, and a DeDion suspension system in the back.

The dry-sumpted Lotus twin-cam is mated to a 4-speed, all aluminum gearbox from the Corvair tech center, with power being fed to the rear wheels by a Halibrand quick-change rear-end. The car has disk brakes all around. Miller claims the car weighs 800lbs.

The car was finished in 1968 and run in SCCA regional races in the same year. This car won or broke in every race it ran, lapping the field in two laps in its only rain race. In aerodynamic tests in 1968 the car as clocked at 173mph powered by a 180hp HART.

The car was sold to Michigan in 1971, then to Tennessee where it sat until the late 1980s. Charles Hoopaugh, an employee at Fantasy Junction for almost 20 years, bought the car and restored it in 1990.

AGS JH22, originalno iz 1987. sa Kosvortovim V8 motorom, ovde ga vidimo na predsezonskim testiranjima za 1989. sa MGN W12 motorom.

 

 

MGN - iza cega se krije ime francuskog inzenjera Gija Negrea - bio je jos jedan neuspeli pokusaj da se proizvede W12 motor za F1. Logika iza ovakvog koncepta je da se dobiju sve prednosti dvanaestocilindricnog motora (veca maksimalna snaga i broj obrtaja) u kompaktnom pakovanju ne vecem od standardnog V8. No, kao i u slucaju cuvenijeg Lajfa, ni MGN nije uspeo da ispuni teoretski potencijal - doduse, nije bio ni toliko spektakularno neuspesan kao Lajf. MGN je na kraju svoje trkacko vatreno krstenje doziveo na Lemanu pogoneci Norma M6 prototip 1990.

 

 

Tojest, pravilnije bi bilo reci pokusavao je da ga pogoni jer nisu uspeli da se kvalifikuju za trku zbog problema sa motorom!

 

Na kraju je cela prica sa W12 motorima otisla u zaborav kada je pronadjen nacin da se izbalansira V10 motor i tako konacno nadjen idealni kompromis izmedju V8 i V12.

Videli smo sve u motorsportu, od zadnjeg spojlera do prednjeg, pa T i Iks krila no donedavno sam otkrio novu vrstu "srednji" iliti "stranični" spojleri...
 

Elfin Light Aircraft…

Now that’s a ‘Wing Car’! Garrie Cooper awaits clearance for takeoff at Adelaide International, ‘Elfin 792 Cessna’ in 1979…

When I originally saw this shot on the wonderful ‘Elfin Monocoque Aficionados’ Facebook Group page I thought it a promotional pisstake, the additional wings added to get some column inches for Elfin’s sponsor, Ansett Airlines of Australia. Ansett was an Australian icon, our ‘other’ domestic airline until its corporate failure in 2001. Reg Ansett would have turned in his grave that day.

Whilst it was John Bowe’s car the helmet was Cooper’s, JB confirmed it was the Elfin chief at the wheel; ‘Garrie kept and prepared the car in Adelaide, he was always fiddling around with new ideas and this is one of them. I met the car and raced it at meetings but GC did all of the development work on the chassis’.

Elfin boss Cooper and mechanic/engineer John Porter were experimenting to understand the forces their new ‘ground effect’ designs would be subjected to by trying to create the downforce of GE tunnels by the addition of the side mounted wings.
