AMAZING FACTS ABOUT F1 RACE CAR

AMAZING FACTS ABOUT F1:

à F1 car is made up of 80,000 components, if it were assembled 99.9% correctly, it would still start the race with 80 things wrong!

à When an F1 driver hits the brakes on his car he experiences retardation or deceleration comparable to a regular car driving through a BRICK wall at 300kmph!!!



¨¤ F1 car can go from 0 to 160 kph AND back to 0 in FOUR seconds!!!!!!!

à F1 car engines last only for about 2 hours of racing mostly before blowing up on the other hand we expect our engines to last us for a decent 20yrs on an average and they quite faithfully DO....thats the extent to which the engines r pushed to perform...



à An average F1 driver looses about 4kgs of weight after just one race due to the prolonged exposure to high G forces and temperatures for little over an hour (Yeah thats right!!!)

à At 550kg a F1 car is less than half the weight of a Mini.

à To give you an idea of just how important aerodynamic design and added down force can be, small planes can take off at slower speeds than F1 cars travel on the track.

à Without aerodynamic down force, high-performance racing cars have sufficient power to produce wheel spin and loss of control at 160 kph. They usually race at over 300 kph.



à In a street course race like the Monaco grand prix, the down force provides enough suction to lift manhole covers. Before the race all of the manhole covers on the streets have to be welded down to prevent this from happening!

à The refuelers used in F1 can supply 12 liters of fuel per second. This means it would take just 4 seconds to fill the tank of an average 50 liter family car. They use the same refueling rigs used on US military helicopters today.

à TOP F1 pit crews can refuel and change tyres in around 3 seconds. It took me 8 sec to read above point

à During the race the tyres lose weight! Each tyre loses about 0.5 kg in weight due to wear.



à Normal tyres last 60 000 - 100 000 km. Racing tyres are designed to last 90 - 120 km.

à A dry-weather F1 tyre reaches peak operating performance (best 20grip) when tread temperature is between 900C and 1200C.(Water boils at 100C remember) At top speed, F1 tyres rotate 50 times a second.



And that's not Magic.... Its only the Power of Human Imagination ....

Swarovski Crystal Sinks by Linkasink

These cool sinks are studded with Swarovski crystals and are dressed in a royal porcelain coat. It took a little inspiration from his wife Toby, for Kirk Guthrie (who owns the Linkasink) to come with the concept of crystal coated porcelain items. The crystals come in a number of colors including pink, black, blue, turquoise and some sort of a prism of colors called aurora borealis. If the crystals aren't of the appealing kind to you then you can always settle for the pearls.

Depending on the design of the Swarovski Crystal Sinks that you have selected, you will have to spend anything between $1,900 and $12,200.

Infinite Loop of Style

Most of us have only been exposed to the concept of infinite loops while on hold with your credit card or phone company, but infinite loops can also be a beautiful and less frustrating concept not involving a phone. Aesthetically popularized by M.C. Escher, Escher himself would be feverishly sharpening his pencil if got a gander of this infinite loop forming table. Inspired by the “slow and perpetual flow of the Nile River,” the “Endless Nile” table by Karim Rashid, is a fluid form of DuPont Corian molded over a steel structure on a wooden base. As part of the newly formed Design Republic of Egypt brand, Mr. Rashid’s composition for Amr Helmy Designs hopes to showcase Egyptian’s take on international design trends around the globe
