A racing car is almost always the epitome of progressive technical ideas: it provides the further course of changing the design of the transport vehicle. Comparing the technical description of the modern car with the characteristics of racing cars 1930-1932. It is not difficult to verify their identity on a number of points. In Examples speed, high compression ratio and reduction of mass translational motion of engine parts, "made at this time. All of these improvements primarily affect the dynamics of the vehicle, increasing its specific speed. From the standpoint of the motorist of this period (1930-1932 year.) Modern standard cars have qualities of a racing car. It is obvious that in today's race cars, we can see some details of future mass-produced designs.
The problem of road transport cannot be solved by one mechanism for improving the car. Successful exploitation of this car must have an extensive network of special roads. In this regard, there are special roads - highways. Motorways differ from ordinary roads absence of corners, sharp turns, climbs, descents and oncoming traffic, i.e. Barriers that reduce the velocity of the car. The practice of transport vehicles on the roadways identified a number of design flaws related to the work at high speeds, in particular the fragility of some of the details and diseconomies of cars with bodies unfavorable aerodynamic shape. So there was a need in the cars that are adapted to prolonged use at high speed. In the development of high-speed highways for cars has been used many years of experience gained in working with the racing cars that are in similar conditions.
Automobile must be organically connected with the automotive industry. Only through this connection were shown beneficial effects on the development of auto racing car design. All the cars had big success in international racing, have been designed, built and prepared the plants with a solid technical foundation and experience, or small firms who received assistance from large enterprises. |
