Sports Car Racing: Speeding Safely

What professional rider or simply enjoying the pace of the race, the sports car is an activity for almost all with the reader.

However, since all races are competitive, you're always looking for ways to improve your time. Here are some tips that you can work with you next time, when the asphalt.

During the start-up
- If you are a beginner, do not try to floor the accelerator to the starting line. You can not control that is used all the powers.

- Go for riders, speed up your engines higher than safety limits. If the signal is given, relaxes and lets go of the clutch motor.

Bring on the Right
- You must be near the speed straight-aways, but be very mindful of your control.

- Beginners should both hands to the wheel where they are "10" or "2" positions.

- Point the driver must know how to control the acceleration and deceleration. The acceleration will put the car on the outside lane to slow down as he moves into it. Steering with the wheel is minimal and should guide the direction of the drag.

Making curves
- Racers approach in two ways: gradual and sharp.
Step by step apply outside the track for an easy approach. Beginners should get used to this kind of first round.

Tuck in tight turns in the direction of the inside lane if drift car in the corner. It is for experienced riders, as many maneuvers of the steering, brake and gas required.

- An industry approach slowly and pull quickly. When, shortly before a turn on the gas early and let the car slow to a speed control easier. Repeat the acceleration as you reach the top of the curve.

Racing Settings
- Assess your performance every time. Notice how you performed each time and determine how to improve. If the lines to improve your time? Have they can accelerate or have you racing in gusty? This will be participating on your patience, but pays off in the long term

- Finally, even if it is a race, the attitude of the development process to improve your technique, rather than against the other drivers' time. The focus on because it is faster than other types of focusing on what you should do things. Note that you can when you use miles per hour at speeds of over 100 small error in major accidents.

With these racing tips, you can on your way into a sports car with satisfaction and safely.

An Electric Sports Car Dodge EV

Dodge EV an electrical sport car with its new EV sport car.Based a small aluminum chassis developed by legendary sports and manufacturer of car racing Lotus, Dodge EV is a very energy efficient, all-electric plug-in vehicle. It is also a genuine sports car for the hardcore set, with rise in the middle of batteries and establishment of an electric motor near-50/50 weight balance and a small center of gravity.

The acceleration and range are impressive. With a 200 kW (268 hp) electric motor that produces 480 Nm of torque, EV-missile 0-60 km / h in under 5.0 seconds, the area is miles in less than 13.0 seconds , And has a maximum speed of over 120 mph And thanks to its lithium-ion batteries and regenerative braking system, Dodge requirements of a driving range of more than 150 miles, so that the rear-wheel electric EV a car that everyone can live in the real world.

But Dodge EV, see the light of production see the world? It seems likely, perhaps as early as 2010. Price has not yet been defined, but it is this type of technology is not cheap (not even the ease of Lotus chassis, which is based on EV). But with mass production of lithium-ion batteries ramps up to about 2013, the price will be probably a little of everything, so that cars like the Dodge EV rather a practical reality.

The new Dodge Viper SRT10’s


The new Dodge Viper SRT10’s deep-skirted V-10 aluminum engine block was bored out 1 mm, raising the displacement to 8.4 liters from 8.3 liters. With strengthened bulkheads and improved water jackets for better cooling, the block includes pressed-in iron cylinder liners and cross-bolted main bearing caps for strength and durability.

Horsepower didn't come only from the engine, the use of a plastic hood allowed engineers to increase the airflow through the hood scoop; openings along each side are not just for show, but to circulate air within the engine compartment, to keep power going with a warm engine. It also lowered weight and helped keep the Viper costs down. Other body panels are also plastic, and carbon fiber is used for some structural parts to keep weight down.

The Viper SRT10’s 8.4-liter engine breathes through new cylinder heads equipped with Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC)-shaped combustion chambers, larger valves and Variable Valve Timing (VVT). VVT electronically adjusts when the exhaust valves are open and closed according to engine speed and load, allowing the engine to “breathe” cleaner and more efficiently.

The 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 V-10’s two-piece intake manifold combines a cast aluminum lower with smooth runners for better air flow, bolted to a die-cast aluminum upper plenum. A revised air-cleaner box with a low-restriction filter sends air through a dual electronic throttle control into the intake module.

Unleashes New Dodge Viper SRT10


"A legendary Big Game Hunter said," Bring enough gun you! "- And with the new 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 we have some very powerful artillery for sports-car enthusiasts," said Kipp Owen, Director - Road Racing Technology (SRT) Engineering, Chrysler Group. "With 600 hp - 90 more than before - and 0 for-60 performance in less than four seconds, a 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 sets a new standard for sports cars American final ".

The new 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 has more that are eager fans performance: Kick-in-the-pants, roll-back-in-the-seat of power in conjunction with Benchmark brakes, world-class road and treatment, an interior race inspired fat and exterior styling.

Power train Standout

The 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10's V-10 channels its power through a new, smaller diameter, Twin clutch (a passage from the former larger diameter, single installation disk). The new coupling reduce the inertia of rotation of 18 per cent, thereby reducing the effort clutch and commitment to improve the smell.

In collaboration with specialists from McLaren Performance Technologies and Ricardo, Inc. SRT engineers began using the basic formula Racer for more performances: Bigger travel more efficient and respiration speed of rotation of the engine.

The transmission is the latest evolution of the Tremec T56 six-speed, known as the TR6060. It has more than 10 percent wider gears for greater torque capacity and a new device synchronization package. A new system reduces Shifter Shifter results leave. Club applaud the riders a new destination for adding an external transmission costs.

The engineers SRT-no more. Updates have been developed to 8.4 liter V-10 horsepower and torque increases level, while improving traction, the behaviour of drivers - and conservation.

Bold Exterior Styling

The 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10, there are two body styles - Coupe and Roadster. Both are characterized by a dramatic new hood with a larger, more efficient hood scoop for air induction and more functional hood louvers to facilitate a greater cooling effect for the more powerful 8.4 liter, 600 c. V-10 engine.

Eight colors from the outside in place throughout the model year - five of them are all-new including Venom Red, Snakeskin Green, purple Viper, Viper Bright orange and blue. Racing stripes are always an option of six bi-painted bands of colors available: white, black, silver, graphite, blue and red.

Race inspired Interior Design
