Technology used in F1 racing cars

These days we mark an immense rise in the popularity of the events such as car racing. In fact, the world of motor sports has reached such heights that it almost drives so many people crazy. And, when we are talking about the event of car racing, Formula 1 will always hold the roost.

The world of formula 1 racing cars and the techniques that are applied in this world are the most sophisticated of the car racing techniques that are applied to the racing cars. The world of car racing is the most competitive of the Formula 1 racing.
The considerable factor among this is the huge amount of money that is spent on the installation of the technology and all that goes into developing it. There is also a technology called the green technology that is soon to be introduced in cars that are driven on the roads.

It has recently been found through researches that the biggest Formula 1 teams like the Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, and Toyota are those companies that spend a huge amount of their resources on the technology of fossil fuels. It also comprises of the real-world application. However, the ruling body of this F1 motor sport has ‘banned further investment in F1 engines’. As a consequence of this, it is now expected that the major teams that participate in the Formula 1 car racing should now focus on the “hybrid systems and if possible on some other eco-friendly means of power production”.

The introduction of the new technology by the Formula 1 cars is a big step forward towards the imbibitions of the new eco-friendly technology to the streetcars. This is thus considered a great contribution.
Some of the innovations that have changed the characteristics of Formula 1 racing over the years are the technology regarding fuel injection, semi-automatic transmissions and traction controls. According to the further hypothesis by the experts, in a few years, the introduction of more modern technology will lead to the racetracks becoming the “valuable proving ground for emerging automotive technology”.

A stunning move regarding the 10-year “total freeze” on the matter of engine development was announced in Paris, on October 24 last year. There it was made clear that the “Federation Internationale de l’Automobile” is taking it seriously to have the F1 racing cars to lead the way for an eco-friendly technology that will further pave the way for a greener future. Federation Internationale is Paris-based organization that is responsible for the much of the world’s auto racing.

The best thing about the technology is that it is going to spur the most needed rapid innovation about the hybrid and alternative fuel systems.

It is accepted that the Formula 1 racing has become more techno-savvy in the recent times. However, you must take it into consideration that the Auto racing has recognized the urgency to be more environments friendly. The new technology has experimented with bio fuels and hydrogen fuel cells. The technology has also tried using hybrids.

Another technology innovation that is to make it debut in the year 2009 in the racing track of Formula 1 is the “Kinetic-energy recovery systems”. It is one of the major areas, where the Formula 1 is making a great leap towards the advance green car technology. Through this technology the cars uses a flywheel in transmission to capture and store the energy generated while braking and store the energy during the fast acceleration. In addition, it improves the technology prevailing in hybrid cars.

It is applicable for those cars that use heavy batteries for storing the recovered energy.
