When a Diesel DOMINATED at Le Mans Look at this, it’s a DIESEL RACE CAR. And it was RAPID! Audi in 2006, decided that diesel isn’t ‘the fuel of satan’ and thought it could be the recipe for a Le Mans car that could go FAST - but efficiently. And it was, they created a MONSTER. A 5.5 litre, V12, Turbo DIESEL - and it created enough Torque to make the earth spin just a bit faster. Maybe I made that up. It was quick. So why did Audi decide to experiment with diesel? Well, there is another factor here that we haven’t mentioned. #LeMans #Diesel #Motorsport

Can a Normal Person Drive an F1 Car? Can a regular person drive an F1 car? Say tomorrow we took you to track and presented a modern F1 car to you, could you do a few laps? Would you even be able to pull away? Or would you take Lewis’ seat for next year? I used to work on events with Lotus F1, now Alpine F1, where we’d put people who’d never been on track, in a 2012 F1 car. But what I really want to talk about is, how difficult is it for a non-racing driver to drive an F1 car? What are the biggest challenges and how far are they off the pace? #Formula1#F1#Driver61

How Max REINVENTED Schumacher's Driving Style Max Verstappen has a REALLY distinctive driving style, and it reminds me A LOT of how Michael Schumacher drove. So much so, that I’ve been comparing their onboards, and it’s been SUPER interesting. Max Verstappen drives with a Schumacher style, but one that’s been adapted for the cars of now. Let me explain. #Schumacher #Verstappen #Formula1

When Formula 1 Engines Revved to 20 000 RPM! The V10 era of Formula 1 produced the best engines the world has ever seen. They are raw, powerful, revvy and (in my opinion) the best-sounding engines ever. But how on earth did they make them able to reach over 19 THOUSAND RPM? And why are they not in the current F1 CARS? Well, let me explain. The V10 era started in 1986 with the 3.5-litre unit built by Alfa Romeo - but really started finding success in 1989 with Renault. At the time, the engine regulations were pretty free, with one key rule keeping them in check. #V10 #Formula1 #Ferrari

How an F1 Clutch Works | F1 Engineering I've managed to get hold of an F1 clutch and I'm going to explain exactly how it works. The is part of our F1 Engineering series, in which I'll be explaining how all the parts of a Formula One car works. This F1 clutch is only 115mm in diameter and weighs less than 1.4kg. The clutch basket is made from titanium, with the clutch plates being made from carbon. #F1 #Clutch #F1Engineering #Driver61
