The fastest cars in the world. The fastest racing championships Formula 1 maximum speed track

Running has been and remains the main discipline of human physical education. But at what speed a person runs cannot be stated with certainty. There are many conventions that must be taken into account in one case or another. For example, recreational running (jogging) or training; whether an ordinary average person runs without special training or an athlete; man, woman or child; if this is a trained runner, what distance is his running designed for, and so on. The average speed of each category will vary significantly.

The maximum speed of athletes' races.

The fastest man in the world, Usey Bolt, set a record for sprinting, running a hundred meters at a speed 44.7 km/h.

When it comes to the maximum running speed of athletes, it is necessary to take into account, in addition to the gender of the runner, the distance over which he runs. In sports, running is divided into the following distances:

  1. Short distance running (sprint).
  2. Long distance running (marathon).

The speed of races between sprinters and marathon runners is significantly different. Many people unfamiliar with the sport believe that the longer the distance, the faster the running. This concept is fundamentally wrong. A sprinter gives his all during a short run. He immediately makes a dash to get ahead and win. A marathon runner must distribute his strength over the entire length of the distance and can make a jerk only at the end of the race. Therefore, the speed at sprint distances is much higher than at marathon distances and is approximately 40-42 km/h. And this is not the limit.

Running speed ranks from maximum

Distance

3rd digit speed (km/h)

1 digit speed (km/h)

MSMC (km/h)

21.1 km

Maximum physical exertion quickly exhausts the body of a marathon runner. If he immediately makes a jerk during a long-distance race, he may not reach the finish line at all. Therefore, marathon runners have to calculate their strength and run much slower than sprinters. In this regard, we cannot talk about maximum speed here. At marathon distances, athletes with the first category in running show an average speed of approximately 34 - 38 km/h. at distances from 1000 to 5000m; 18 – 20 km/h at 10,000m and for a 42.2 km race – 15.5 – 16.5 km/h. Masters of sports at such distances show speeds 2-3 km higher.


If you decide to take up a running sport, regardless of whether you are prepared or not, the activities will be of a recreational or sports nature, first talk to your doctor, who will tell you what kind of running you should do. But in any case - run, from a heart attack, from colds and just for fun, to feel stronger, healthier and faster and you will definitely set your personal record!

Jogging speed.


Mostly ordinary people without special training engage in recreational running. For them, the main thing is not achieving some results, winning competitions, but taking care of their health. Jogging is a slow run that minimizes the work of the musculoskeletal system and the risk of injury. Athletes also do the same running during training during rehabilitation after injuries, as well as during physical exercise. The speed when jogging is approximately 6-10 km/h and does not differ much between men and women.

The average running speed of an ordinary person.

When identifying an ordinary untrained person, the following circumstances must be taken into account:

  1. Child's running speed.
  2. Running speed of an adult man.
  3. Woman's running speed.

If we are talking about a child running, then in this case there is no need to take into account who is running - a boy or a girl, since their speed is almost the same and is approximately 8 - 10 km/h. This is due to the fact that children, regardless of their gender, have the same development of the muscular system of the musculoskeletal system. They also have the same amount of lactic acid and pulse rate after exercise.


If we are talking about an adult running, then the average speed will be slightly different. This is due to the fact that females have a subcutaneous fat ratio that is 10% higher than that of males, which makes it significantly more difficult for the weaker half of humanity to increase their speed. In addition, there is a difference in the development of elastic and soft muscles. Thus, a woman’s running speed is 11–14 km/h, a man’s is 15–20 km/h. You can more accurately determine the speed at which a person runs at a distance of 100 m. Of course, not everyone is able to run it. Elderly people or those who are overweight or have some kind of illness will run it more slowly than an ordinary healthy person, whose speed will be 14-16 seconds for women and 12-15 seconds. in men. But this indicator is not unambiguous. If an ordinary untrained person runs every day, his result may improve first by hundredths of a second, and then by tenths. Of course, at the beginning the leg muscles will hurt, but if you train constantly, the pain will go away, and the speed of the race will increase every month. But at the same time, you need to monitor not only your speed, but also how you feel during the run and after it. Even if you feel slightly unwell, you should consult a doctor who will recommend you one or another jogging system.

The characteristics of the car are determined by technical regulations, compliance with which is monitored by the stewards of the International Motor Sports Federation.

A Formula 1 car is a carbon fiber monoblock with 4 wheels located outside the body, of which the rear 2 are driven, and the front wheels are driven. The pilot sits in a narrow cockpit at the front of the car and controls it using the steering wheel and the brake and gas pedals.

Although Formula 1 cars often exceed 300 km/h, in terms of absolute speed Formula 1 cannot in any way be considered the fastest auto racing series, since almost all engine parameters in it are significantly reduced (limited volume, no turbocharging, etc.) . However, Formula 1 has no equal in terms of average speed per lap among road racing (except for the so-called “ovals”). This is possible due to the highly efficient braking system and aerodynamics. Power brakes and anti-lock brakes are prohibited.

Engine power 750-770 hp. Air pre-cooling systems are prohibited. In addition, it is forbidden to feed anything other than air and fuel into the engine.

Starting from the 2009 season, Formula 1 cars introduced kinetic energy recovery (KERS) - a special device that allows the car to accumulate kinetic energy in braking areas, transferring it during acceleration. At the same time, a specific recovery principle is not prescribed in any way.

Tires are of great importance in Formula 1.

Unlike road cars, tires for Formula 1 cars are not designed for durability (1 set is designed for no more than 200 kilometers); the main features are considered to be durability, low weight and grip. The key components of tires are rubber, nylon and polyester. In order to change the hardness of rubber, the ratios of the parts added to it are regulated: carbon, sulfur and oil.

The size of the front and rear tires has constantly changed during the evolution of Formula racing, now the front and rear tires are different, the size of the front tires is limited in width from 305 to 355 mm, rear from 365 to 380 mm. In this case, the total diameter cannot exceed 660 mm for tires for dry weather and 670 mm for wet weather. Measurements are performed at a tire pressure of 1.4 bar. In accordance with clause 12.7.1 of the Technical Regulations of Formula 1, tires can only be filled with air or nitrogen.

Acceleration from zero to 100 km/h: 1.7 seconds.

Acceleration from zero to 200 km/h: 3.8 seconds.

Acceleration from zero to 300 km/h: 8.6 seconds.

Maximum speed: about 340 km/h.

Braking from 100 km/h: 1.4 seconds and 17 meters of distance.

Braking from 200 km/h: 2.9 seconds and 55 meters of distance.

Braking from 300 km/h: 4 sec.

Pilot overload when braking: about 5G.

Downforce equal to the weight of the car is achieved at a speed of about 180 km/h.

Maximum downforce (maximum setting) at 300 km/h: approximately 3000 kilograms.

Fuel consumption in competition mode: about 75 l/100 km.

Cost of each kilometer traveled: about $500.

The main characteristic feature of a Formula 1 car is undoubtedly the presence of downforce. It is this that allows you to take turns at speeds unattainable by any other sports car. There is one noteworthy point here: pilots simply need to take almost all turns at very high speed so that the downforce can keep the car on the track, but if you throw it off, you can fly off the track as the downforce becomes small.

The parameters of formula one cars, their dimensions and weights are controlled by technical regulations, the purpose of this article is to describe the various designs, technologies, prices and parts used in formula one cars.

How does the miracle Formula 1 engine work?

Technological progress in racing has completely destroyed the romantic dreams of “garage” teams and the creation of revolutionary cars by brilliant enthusiasts without a bunch of master’s degrees on their resumes. Now even poor stables have a budget of $100 million or more and open engineering departments with several dozen people.

The engine departments of Ferrari, Renault and Mercedes have become huge technological monsters. German manufacturers have already pushed the industry forward, recently announcing that they will soon reach 1000 hp. and setting a new record for thermal efficiency at a level of more than 50% (for conventional passenger cars - 25-30%).

The current power plant consists of several components:

  1. - internal combustion engine;
  2. - turbine (with compressor and supercharger, of course);
  3. - two energy recovery systems MGU-K and MGU-H;
  4. - control electronics unit;
  5. - battery.

Turbine - It was not without reason that they returned to Formula 1 after a twenty-year ban: in 2014, along with the new power plant regulations, a limit on fuel consumption of 100 kg per race came into effect. It meant a decrease in the amount of fuel burned in the engine cylinder and, accordingly, a decrease in power and speed. To prevent the cars from slowing down, teams were again allowed to compensate for the decrease in fuel volume used by increasing the density of the mixture using turbocharging.

MGU-K unit or a kinetic energy recuperator was approved for use back in 2009 (then called KERS). It connects to the car's braking system, is activated when the corresponding pedal is pressed and converts the energy of wheel rotation into electricity, charging the batteries with it. The pilot then uses the charge to accelerate - but until 2014, the technology was not particularly effective. The regulations were revised by 2014 specifically to increase the role of hybrid systems in power plants.

At the same time, they introduced the use of another recuperative unit - MGU-H. It no longer works with kinetic energy, but with the flow of exhaust gases, whose heat is converted into electricity. This system can be called key for modern cars, because internal combustion engines have almost reached the development ceiling. Proper use of the hybrid component gives 20-30 additional km/h on a straight line and allows you to save fuel when accelerating in low gears.

At the same time, the thermal energy recuperator is subject to a large constant load - and the success of the power plant directly depends on the development of effective cooling. Almost all the problems of motorists of modern Formula 1 are associated with the complex design. Honda first suffered from overheating for two seasons due to the incorrect location of the recuperator relative to the internal combustion engine, and now it cannot find the optimal scheme for distributing the received energy across the acceleration phases on the straights. Renault, in turn, overdid it in its attempts to catch up with Mercedes in speed and ruined the reliability of the unit: as a result, in the last three Grand Prix, cars with a French engine retired seven times.

General technical characteristics of a formula one car:
(data for comparison, since they are different for all cars and are constantly changing, although not significantly).


Acceleration from zero to 100 km/h 1.7 seconds.
Acceleration from zero to 200 km/h 3.8 seconds.

Acceleration from zero to 300 km/h in 8.6 seconds.
Maximum speed about 340 km/h
Braking from 100 km/h 1.4 seconds and 17 meters of distance.
Braking from 200 km/h in 2.9 seconds and a distance of 55 meters.
Braking from 300 km/h 4 sec
The pilot's overload during braking is about 5G.
Downforce equal to the weight of the car is achieved at a speed of about 180 km/h.
Maximum downforce (maximum setting) at 300+ km/h is about 3000 kg.

The main feature of a Formula One car is undoubtedly the presence of enormous downforce. It is this that allows you to take turns at speeds unattainable by any other sports car. There is one interesting point here: pilots simply need to take many turns at a very high speed, when the downforce allows them to keep the car on the track, but if they slow down, they can fly off the track because the downforce will be insufficient!

Downforce is created by a set of aerodynamic elements such as: rear wing, front wing, diffuser, etc. The front wing is made from carbon fiber and produces up to 25% of the downforce of a Formula One car.

The rear wing, with its own weight of about 7 kg, creates up to 1000 kg of downforce at high speed, this is about 35% of the total downforce of an F1 car.

At different times, formula one cars used different engine sizes, supercharging was present and absent, speed limits and a lot of other restrictions were united by only one thing: huge power up to 1500 l/s at high speeds, up to 22500 rpm. Recently, regulations have maintained, through various restrictions, a maximum power of about 850 hp and a speed of about 19,500 rpm.

Exhaust system


Each Formula One team needs a certain supply of different exhaust manifolds to reconfigure the engine for different tracks.

Why is everyone unhappy with new technologies?

Oddly enough, modern hybrid engines have been caught in a typhoon of criticism from the very first season. Among the indignant were fans, teams, drivers, and manufacturers - everyone was pushing for something different.

But in fact, it’s not exactly the engines that irritate everyone, but the dominance of Mercedes, based on its advantage in power plants. The Germans produced the best units back in 2014 and deservedly won four seasons in a row - due to the complex design of the engines (including the MGU-H), competitors are unable to close the gap with the leader.

Transmission

Automatic transmissions are prohibited in Formula 1 cars.
Semi-automatic sequential gearboxes are used
There are 7 forward and 1 reverse gears
The pilot changes gear in 1/100 of a second
The cost of one seven-speed semi-automatic transmission is over $130,000. Designed for a range of 6000 km. 10 boxes are enough for the season, including tests. The kit includes several sets of gears.


The Formula One car's gearbox is directly connected to the clutch, which is made from carbon fiber. Clutches are made by two companies, AP racing and Sachs, which create them in such a way that they can withstand temperatures close to 500 degrees. Clutches are electro-hydraulic elements and weigh from 1.5 kg. Each speed change is performed in 20-40 milliseconds and is controlled by a computer. Car drivers do not use the clutch manually, thereby wasting time and allowing the engine to idle (as in conventional cars, without an automatic transmission), but simply press the lever behind the wheel to move to the next speed, the process itself lies entirely on the computer . Gearboxes
are created so that mechanics can easily change settings. So a complete restructuring of the gearbox ratios takes about 40 minutes in the pits.

Tires and wheels

The discs weigh about 4 kilograms and are made of magnesium alloy, each costing about $10,000
Front tire road size: 245/55R13;
Front diameter: 655 mm;
Front width: 325 mm;
Rear tire size: 325/45R13;
Rear diameter: 655 mm;
Rear width: 375 mm;
Operating temperature about 130 degrees
The cost of one tire is about $800
720 pieces are needed for the season.

Formula 1 car brakes


Brake discs have been made from carbon fiber for many years; it can take up to 5 months to produce one disc.
Temperature up to 1000 Celsius
Weight 1.4 kg.
With all the advantages of carbon fiber brakes, ceramic brake discs have recently been increasingly used, which have better characteristics of both braking, thermal stability, and durability. Modern ceramic brake discs of the Ferrari team lose 1 mm of their thickness during one race. While previously, when using other materials, wear was 4 mm or more!

Front suspension arms:

Made of titanium and carbon fiber.

Fuel tank:

Made from rubberized fabric reinforced with Kevlar
Has a volume of over 200 liters
Fuel consumption - 75 l/100 km

Monocoque

The monocoque is the basis of an F1 car, onto which all its parts and components are attached. In case of shocks or accidents, it must provide the pilot with complete safety, but at the same time weigh approximately 35 kg. Like most parts of an F1 car, the monocoque is made of carbon fiber and like most parts it doesn't come cheap at $115,000

Pilot seat:

Made to the rider's individual measurements from carbon fiber.

Steering wheel

The steering wheel of a formula one car combines the instrument panel (display in the center), controls, and also allows you to change many of the car’s settings while driving. Made of carbon fiber, for each pilot individually according to the anatomical structure.

6. Formula 1 2019 Monaco Grand Prix

The Formula 1 World Championship is held every year and consists of separate stages (with Grand Prix status). At the end of the year, the winner of the championship is revealed. In Formula 1, both individual drivers and teams compete. Drivers compete for the world championship title, and teams compete for the constructors' championship.

Formula One's roots lie in the European Grand Prix motor racing championship, which was held in the 1920s and 1930s. The organizations involved in the Grand Prix formulated the first regulations for the World Championship before World War II and planned their implementation in 1941, but these rules were not finalized until 1946. In 1946, the newly formed FIA introduced the rules of the so-called Formula 1, which came into force in 1947. The technical regulations were based on several ideas: German drivers were excluded from racing for 10 years due to the defeat of Germany, but this did not apply to the Italians, since the capitulation in 1943 and the participation of the Italians in the fight against the Third Reich removed many of the accusations against the country. Before the war, in an attempt to somehow gain the upper hand in the fight against German cars, the Italian Automobile Club held the Tripoli Grand Prix according to the rules of the “junior formula” or voiturette, which limited engine displacement to 1.5 liters. And although this did not save the Italians from defeat, after the war it was these cars that were taken as a model when preparing the Formula 1 regulations. In addition, old French Grand Prix cars with naturally aspirated 4.5 liter engines were allowed, unable to compete with the German cars of their day. At the same time, even in the same year, the organizers of three Grand Prix held races according to the Formula 1 regulations. In 1948, the Formula 2 class was added to Formula 1. An even younger Formula 3 class was introduced in 1950. According to the original scheme, it was assumed that the Formula 1 class was intended exclusively for the world championship, the Formula 2 class for the continental championship, Formula 3 for the national championships, and so on.


In 1950, the FIA ​​decided to include the results of individual Formula 1 races in the general protocol of the World Championship. The first such Grand Prix took place on English soil at the Silverstone circuit. Until 1958, the World Championship was exclusively personal, then points began to be awarded to car designers (the so-called Constructors' Cup).

However, one should not completely equate the Formula 1 class with the FIA ​​World Championship. Often, there were an order of magnitude more major races around the world (including in the highest racing class) than were included in the World Championship. Few drivers chose to participate exclusively in the World Championship: they took part in a wide variety of races, including not necessarily in open-wheel cars. Formula 1 cars competed not only in the World Championship, but also in other non-event races, which, as a rule, had an independent status. Thus, out of 22 races held in 1950 with the participation of Formula 1 cars, only 5 counted towards the World Championship. In addition to the World Championship, Formula 1 cars were also used in the South African Formula 1 Championship (1960-1975) and the British Formula 1 Championship (1977-1980, 1982).


At the same time, the World Championship itself was not always held according to Formula 1 rules. Thus, the American Indy 500 race, which was included in the championship standings, was held according to its own regulations, in cars called “Indycars.” When in 1951 FISA announced new rules for Formula 1, effective from 1954, no one wanted to prepare a car for the 1952-1953 seasons according to the old rules, and, due to the lack of a sufficient number of participants, the World Championship was held according to Formula 2 rules .

The situation changed completely in the early 1980s, when the Treaty of Concord was adopted after the “FISA-FOCA war”. From now on, races in the Formula 1 class take place only within the framework of the World Championship. In fact, the very concept of the “Formula 1” class disappeared and the Formula 1 racing series appeared, the commercial rights to which are separated from the sports rights that fall under the jurisdiction of the FIA.

A Formula 1 car is not the fastest car in the world. Yes, myself Formula 1 , is not the fastest racing series. There are such American series as, and Indycar, and there, the maximum speeds are noticeably higher than in F1. However, it is Formula 1 that is considered the Queen of Motor Sports. And believe me,this is not without reason!

In Formula 1 cars, such technologies are used, the use of even a small part of which does honor to the most expensive and thoroughbred supercars in the world. It costs at least 15 million dollars per year to maintain one such car! It is the most expensive sport in the world. Think about it! - even on everyone’s favorite football, much less money is spent than is poured into Formula 1. F1 is more expensive than Sailing or Equestrian sports. Sponsors spend more than 1 billion dollars a year on the organization and development of these races, which have long become legendary.

A modern Formula 1 car consists of more than 80,000 parts!
Car seriesFormula 1, arrives in the country hosting the race, not whole, but in boxes! So, upon arrival at the pits, 10 - 15 super cool mechanics, within half a day, assemble this most complex mechanism and prepare it for the race.

Just think about it! - length of cables laid inside a modern carF1, equals 1 km. And the cost of the Bolide electronicsF1, is 4 million$! Impressive? - don’t rush to conclusions,this is just the beginning).

  • About Appearance:

Take a look at the photo of the Formula 1 car, especially pay attention to the aerodynamic elements of the carFormula 1.
You can imagine that already at 180 km per hour, the aerodynamic elements of a modern carF1, create a clamping force equal to the mass of this machine? And at 300 km per hour, at maximum angles of attack of the front and rear wings, the downforce is 3,000 kg!

Here, the downforce is so strong, that some turns need to be taken at a higher speed, because at a lower speed, when the downforce is not so strong, the car can simply fly off the track.

Approximately 25% downforce is provided by the front wing; a 35% are the merit of the rear. Each of these two aerodynamic elements costs more than 100 thousand$! And for a season, you need 10 - 20 sets of wings!

The carbon fiber monocoque of a Formula 1 racing car weighs only 35kg! And he stands - one, 115 000 $. At the same time, the weight of a fueled Formula 1 car, with a pilot, is only 691 kg!

One tire of such a car costs 800$ ; and for a season you need 720 of these tires, and this is only for one car!

By the way, both front and rear, 13th magnesium wheels are installed here, costing 10,000$ — for every. Tires;245s in the front and 325s in the rear.

The wheel nuts here are aluminum; one costs 110 dollars,
and for a season, just for one car, you need 500 of them.

You can't see it from the photo, but the brake disc itself is made of carbon fiber. The brakes of such a car work at temperatures up to 1000 degrees! One brake disc, caliper, and brake pads cost 6,000$. For a season you need 180 brake discs, just for one car!

The suspension of these super cars is made of titanium and carbon fiber. The cost of front and rear arms is 200,000$ , and for a racing season, for one car, you need 20 sets of such levers.

  • About the cockpit:

Both the steering wheel and the seat of such a car are created for a specific pilot. The steering wheel carries both the instrument panel and controls. The cockpit seat, if necessary, can be removed along with the pilot,this is very important, because in the event of an accident, the rider may simply lose consciousness.

It's hard to believe, but the camera alone, installed above the main air intake, costs 140,000$. And by the way,it belongs not to the racing team, but to the administrationFormula One.

  • Technical Specifications of a Formula 1 Car

Speed ​​of the Car Formula 1,basically defines it as simply an unrealistic engine.
With a volume of 2.4 l, atmospheric
V10Formula 1 car, produces 755 hp. With this simply unrealistically amazing power delivered at 19,500 rpm; maximum torque of 290 N.M is achieved at 17,000 rpm. As you can see, against the backdrop of such power, the engine thrust of the carFormula 1,not big at all.

Can you imagine the average piston speed of 22.5m per second? The piston of the car engine itselfF1, weighs 220g; a complete set of rings for it, weighs 9g; and the piston pin weighs 66g, and is designed for a load of 3133kg.

And what’s also remarkable is that this one is super resourcefulV10,very short stroke
;
with a cylinder diameter of 98mm, the piston stroke is only 39.77mm!

Fuel is injected into the combustion chambers of such a machine under a pressure of 100 bar.

Car engineF1, consists of 5,000 parts. It takes130 hours, and once every 1,000 km, the engine must be rebuilt. The resource of such a super unit is 3,000 km; and the team is allowed to assemble only 5 engines per season, for one car. And this despite the fact that the total length of all stages of the season is 8,000 km.

Up to 100 km per hour, such a car accelerates in 1.7 seconds; in 3.8 s - up to 200 km; and in 8.6s from a standstill - up to 300 km per hour.

Just as impressive as the acceleration, are the brakes. Just imagine that from 100 km to 0, the carF1stops in just 1.4 seconds, on a site of some 17 meters! From 200 to 0, such a unit slows down in 2.9s, over a section of 55m; and to come to a complete stop from 300 km per hour, you need only 4 seconds.

Agree, these data are impressive! At extreme braking, the pilot experiences overloads of 5g.

The maximum speed of a Formula 1 car is 340 km per hour.

The gearbox here is robotic, seven-speed, in a carbon housing. This gearbox clicks into gear in 20-40 milliseconds, and costs 130,000$. By the way, it is designed for 6,000 km,quite a lot, considering the resource of other units.

And by the way, for a specific race, the engineV10,equipped with various exhaust manifolds. This part has a direct impact on the power and elasticity of the engine.

  • Results:

After each race, each car undergoes a complete inspection, and this is not just the team’s desire to win, but the administration’s requirementF1.The stage has ended, the defect detection and disassembly of the racing beast has been completed,again on the plane, and forward - to another corner of the world, because thisF1,and the show must go on.

How much do you know about the cars that compete in Formula 1? Yes, these are fast and powerful means of transportation. But what exactly is under the hood of such a machine? And how much time and money will it take to create at least one truly real car? We invite you to familiarize yourself with the specific details.

Aerodynamics:
A Formula 1 car has a downforce of 2500 kg
This is 4 times more than the weight of the machine itself

Acceleration to 100 km/h – Depends on the setup of the car itself, the track surface and weather conditions. But most Formula 1 cars can accelerate to 100 km/h in 1.9 seconds!!! This is the fastest indicator for cars with mechanical traction. To achieve greater acceleration, you will have to use jet propulsion

The maximum speed is 340 km/h

The approximate cost of all costs for cars alone is: $15 million.....
