What is Formula 1?
Formula One, abbreviated to F1, and also known as Grand Prix racing, is the highest class of auto racing defined by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motor sport's world governing body. The "formula" in the name is a set of rules which all participants and cars must meet. The F1 world championship season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, held usually on purpose-built circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets. The results of each race are combined to determine two annual World Championships, one for drivers and one for constructors. It is a massive television event, with millions of people watching each race in more than 200 countries. The cars...
Indy Racing League
The Indy Racing League, better known as IRL, is the sanctioning body of a predominantly American based open-wheel racing series. Its centerpiece is the Indianapolis 500. The IRL is owned by Hulman and Co., which also owns the Indianapolis Motor Speedway complex. The IRL was founded in 1994 by Tony George and began racing in 1996. It was created with a breakaway group of drivers from CART, which had sanctioned Indy car racing since 1979, who incidentally, had broken away from USAC. George blueprinted the IRL as a lower-cost open-wheel alternative to CART, which had come to be technology-driven and dominated by a few wealthy multi-car teams, much like Formula One. Ironically, the IRL has come full...
Touring car racing
Touring car racing is a general term for a number of distinct auto racing competitions in heavily-modified street cars. It is notably popular in Britain, Germany, Scandinavia, and Australia. Characteristics of a touring car While rules vary from country to country, most series require that the competitors start with a standard body shell, but virtually every other component is allowed to be heavily modified for racing, including engines, suspension, brakes, wheels and tyres. Wings are usually added to the front and rear of the cars. Regulations are usually designed to limit costs by banning some of the more exotic technologies available (for instance, many series insist on a "control tyre" that...
Stock car racing

LPG and Racing
The British Touring Car Championship in 2004 saw the introduction, and potentially ground breaking use of an LPG car (liquefied petroleum gas). This was the first time it had been used in such a mainstream race, although it had been used in lesser races before. LPG cars bring many benefits, at the forefront of which are that they are much cleaner/ better for the environment and also present significant cost savings over petrol or even diesel cars, which during a race or championship will bring much cost savings to racing car teams. As LPG is an alternative fuel, it isn't something you'd expect to see in something as mainstream as the BTCC but developments in alternative fuels have made it...
A First Date in Sheffield
Sheffield’s demographic is heavily weighted towards the 18-24 year old age group. The large population of young people in Sheffield are fortunate to have a city and businesses more than willing to provide venues for activities they are interested in. In fact, the options for entertainment for all ages are wide open. Let’s look at some possible first date scenarios within the city of Sheffield. First of all, the young people of Sheffield are a little different than young people in many other places of the world. They may be slightly better educated because of the outstanding universities in the city, and they may be just a bit more liberal because of Sheffield’s standing as a...
A Review of the 1990 Dodge Dakota
The best car I have ever had has been serving me for 16 years now, which is my 1990 Dodge Dakota. It never let me down, although I have always been giving it hard time. And it has been so from the very beginning as I got my pick-up truck for work, not for show off. As a building contractor I have gone through 16 years of hard work, and my 1990 Dodge Dakota has been there all along the way. Working hard at least five days per week; moving from site to site, hauling tools, machines, supplies and everything else that you can think of. I have been pretty rough with my truck, throwing al the abovementioned in the back of it and rushing up and down, back and forth, sometimes even adding a trailer for...

I Bought A New Farm Tractor - A Ford 800 Series Tractor
My new farm tractor, a Ford 800 Series Tractor is the best toy I ever bought. I'm a simple man, I used to enjoy working on my car, changing the plugs, tuning the carburetor, just plain 'ole tinkering; that changed (along with the rest of the world) when computers entered the picture. And while they have revolutionized the way we live and work, they made tinkering a thing of the past. I refused to let that happen when I bought my first new farm tractor. I'm not a farmer by trade, but I love the land and enjoy dragging my bush hog, it keeps me in touch with the land. And tinkering? Well that keeps my old farm Ford 800 Series Tractor running smooth and gives me some time away from the keyboard...
Can You Get A Legal Music Download?
Downloadable, top quality music is a really appealing concept to many people, but many of us want to stay the right side of the law. There are some compelling reasons to download music: it is a great way to check out a track or two from an unknown artist before splashing out on the CD; it offers the downloader unrivaled ease - a few moments after deciding on a track, it is yours. And streaming songs are sometimes available for instant listening. So what is the deal with the law? Many people will remember Napster being taken to court for encouraging file-sharing for free among peers. This court case judged that people sharing files in this way are breaking the law - the fact that money isn't...
The VXA Packet Technology Data Storage Media

This means the drive must stop transferring data, rewind, and then move at fixed...
Miami Heat - The Early Years
During the boom period of the NBA of the 1980s the league sought to expand itself from 23 teams to 26 by the end of the decade. In Florida, a state devoid of any NBA franchises, groups from Orlando, Tampa/St. Petersburg and Miami all vied to land franchises. The Miami Sports and Exhibition Authority eventually endorsed a group led by NBA Hall of Famer Billy Cunningham and former sports agent (and lifelong friend of Cunningham's) Lewis Schaffel, who received their financial backing from Carnival Cruise Lines tycoon Ted Arison, who would be the majority shareholder of a potential franchise but defer the day-to-day operations to minority shareholders Cunningham and Schaffel. In April 1987, the NBA...
6 Simple Steps To Avoiding Expensive Car Repairs
Quite often, a visit to the car repair shop can be even more painful than a visit to your dentist. Perhaps physical pain it's involved, but some car repairs can leave your wallet feeling pretty empty and you with a bad taste in your mouth. The best way to avoid costly repairs is to take preventative steps that will keep your car in the best condition possible. The first thing to do is to follow the maintenance schedule as outlined in your owner's manual. The best one is always that recommended by the manufacturer and if you fail to follow those guidelines, your warranty may be voided for future repairs. Always be sure to change fluids, filters and spark plugs as the car's manufacturer recommends...
LPG Car Performance Issues
It is believed by many car owners and consumers that if they decide to convert their car to run on LPG fuel this will lower the cars performance - this is untrue and in fact if there is any change in performance it will be negligible and most drivers would be unlikely to detect the difference. If car owners decide to convert their vehicles to run on LPG they will find that power outputs from their cars engine will be slightly reduced than when the car is running on petrol. This slight decrease in power output from the cars engine will mean that top speeds and acceleration times will be reduced but the reduction will be of such a slight margin that as stated before it is unlikely that drivers will be...
Breaking Psychological Barriers
Before 1954, running a sub four-minute mile was considered to be impossible according to physiologists at that time. It was thought that a four-minute mile was the physical limit of the human body. When Englands' Roger Bannister ran a 3:59.4 to break the world record, he not only broke a physical barrier but he also broke a psychological barrier as well. Australian John Landy, who was considered to be the premier miler of that era, was at a restaurant in Helsinki when news came to him of Bannister's achievement. "I had got into this frame (of mind) where I had easily the best performances. Bannister had only run 4:02 once. I'd done it six times. I was staggered. I thought: 'Wow, what an amazing...
Speed, competition and an enthusiasm for real cars on race tracks: This is what street car racing is all about. But when engines start to rev and the flag waver takes their marks, only one thing radiates from the street car racing enthusiast: pure exhilaration. Street car racing is irrefutably gaining popularity as a sport; and while it takes its roots from a simpler mode of automobile racing which began in France during the late nineteenth century, it has evolved into a prevalent pastime in countries across the world. The United States, Australia, Brazil, Japan and much of Europe - among countless others - currently rank street car racing as a highly competitive sport. Traditionally a domain of...

Buy-sell agreements exist in many, if not most, closely held businesses having substantial size and/or value. And they exist between corporate joint venture partners in many thousands of enterprises.Buy-sell agreements are agreements by and between the shareholders (or equity partners of whatever legal description) of a privately owned business and, perhaps, the business itself. They establish the mechanism for the purchase of stock following the death (or other adverse changes) of one of the owners. In the case of corporate joint ventures, they also establish the value for break-ups or for circumstances calling for one corporate venture partner to buy out the other partner.Buy-sell agreements (or...
UAW Daimler Chrysler 400: March Madness
Are they still racing stock cars?It seems like a loooong time since Daytona, doesn't it? When the Smokeless Set takes the checkers at Las Vegas Motor Speedway this Sunday afternoon, it'll have been a full three weeks since the 500, a span during which the boys held a boring Fontana race that saw the stands half-filled, and then took a week off to celebrate, uh, some Christian holiday I probably don't understand. And it's not exactly the time of year that's going to make the public rush out and think "NASCAR." A mere few hours after the race on Sunday, the NCAA will announce its March Madness brackets, sending stock-car racing toward the kind of anonymity it experiences only one other time each year...
Accessorize and Upgrade Your Truck
Let's face it, trucks are the business. From the fairly compact run-around-town SUV models right through to the monsters that eat up the off-road trails while keeping a truck load of passengers comfortable, there's nothing like them. The large size has become a hit with the modern consumer who wants a vehicle that is safety conscious and capacious enough for the comfort of its occupants plus the big gear that modern leisure demands. The truck purchase is just the start - next up is the accessorizing.Some of these truck accessories purchases are true upgrades in that they look after the value of the truck - grille protectors stop damage to the grille, which is a big money item to replace...

The History of Racing and Off Road Go Carts
What started out as a way for airmen in the 1950s to pass the time has turned into a popular worldwide sport for many. Go carts have quickly become a phenomenon all over the globe.

4 Hot Tips for Replacing a Garage Door
What Kind of Garage Door should I buy?When looking for a garage door, you notice that there are two major designs: tilt-up doors and sectional roll-up doors. Sectional roll-up doors are more expensive than tilt-up doors, but the extra cost is well worth it.Tilt-up doors consist of a single panel of material. To open the door, you have to pull it out and pivot it up to slide it along the roof of your garage. Sectional roll-up doors, on the other hand, are made of a number of horizontal sections. Each section is hinged to the next section, allowing the door a certain degree of flexibility. Because the door is mounted on rollers, to open a sectional roll-up door you just have to lift the door and it...
We have heard a whole lot of talk about fuel cells and of course it is a worthy endeavor. Portable generators, cars, transportation industry, Power generators, Ships, etc. can benefit. However in a mobile application such as a shuttle bus, car, truck, train, tractor, motor scooter or even a Segway air-cushioned platform mover, there is the problem of heat. The heat occurs on transfer of fuel. So if we are talking about a portable application the heat can make steam and the steam can be used for additional power needed also. In an off road application when we are in places of drought and extreme fire hard there is a significant problem which needs to be better addressed with the material sciences to...
What is Time?
Although time is time, we could for the sake of understanding break it into time by the clock and psychological time. Time by the clock is simple, I have to be somewhere at a certain time, however psychological time is a little more interesting. I know myself through time, through experiences; I am this today I will be that tomorrow. We have the idea that I am this and I will become that.We are going to try and understand time as a whole. In order to manage time we must know exactly how it works. Time by any standard is measurement. The clock goes from one point to the next, even in terms of yourself - you judge (which is one point) yourself as this type of person today but in the future I want to...

Upcoming Events in the World of NASCARNext week, the NASCAR Nextel Cup teams head west, or mid-west to be more exact, to the 1 1/2 mile tri-oval at Michigan International Speedway. Initially, MIS was modeled after the other great 1 1/2 mile speedway, Lowe's Motor Speedway. But after nearly 30 years or racing, it has developed a personality of it's own that no single driver has been able to dominate. Unlike other speedways, since the 2000 season there has never been a single driver to win consecutive races at Michigan.Don't run to the store or sit on the toilet too long next Sunday. The races at Michigan tend to go by very fast!!! Of the tri-oval tracks currently on the Nextel Cup circuit, Michigan...

Big money, fun- just a click away
A little bit about gambling It is tough to pin-point when casinos originated. However, the Chinese recorded the first account of gambling in 2300 B.C. From Mythology to world history, gambling has been recorded in almost every society. Be it Rome, Greece, France or England- countries across the globe have been witnessing the game of chance for a very long time. The French are credited with inventing playing cards in 1387. In the year 1440, Johann Gutenberg of Germany printed the first full deck of cards. Several present-day gambling games have been derived from previous ones. In the sixteenth century, the French working class became adept at the Egyptian game of roulette. Napoleon liked the card...

Fitting a Road Bike Frame to Your Needs
For most of us, well-intentioned but casual bike riders who secretly believe we might be Lance Armstrong's heir if we only had a few more hours a day to spend on our bicycles, buying a new road bike is tantamount to buying a road bike frame. The frame is what we're thinking of, something new and shiny and colorful, something we suspect even car drivers envy when they see us flash through the snarl of traffic. Truly, a road bike frame is a beautiful thing and part of the reason we love bicycling.When you have the good fortune to be looking at new bicycles, though, you definitely want to look at a few elements besides the color of a road bike frame. Face it. When you're on your way back home from a...

Shattered Front Lights on Your Jeep? Get the Right Replacements at Auto Parts Deal
The various forward lights on your Jeep are installed at its front end for a specific purpose: to make night and low visibility driving safer. First, those lights allow you to see the road ahead clearly at night and at other low visibility conditions. And while doing this, the lights also allow other people, especially drivers of vehicles approaching yours, to see your vehicle from afar.As genuine off-road vehicles, however, Jeep vehicles were made for trekking the rough and rugged off-road track.
