Ferrari – The Can-Am Experience
Posted on February 5, 2010, under Sports Cars Articles.
Ferrari. A name that is synonymous with victory. More than 50 years of racing heritage, a heritage that includes several Formula One title, as well as the overall winner in the Sports Car Racing on some of the most challenging race circuits known to exist. Songs such as Spa, Nurburgring, and the great French classic, which is held every year at Le Mans. Almost every challenge Christmas horse Maranello implemented over the last 60 years has led to victory. A series was notintimidated by Italy's finest. The series is Can-Am Challenge, between 1966 and 1974 held in North America. Can-Am, as it should be known, was perhaps the most exciting road racing series on this planet has ever seen. Often at Sports Car Club of America, the series is performed in accordance with the FIA Group 7 rules for Sport Cars Racing. Group 7 rules were quite freely in many ways the producers of all levels to run free with creativity and l ' ledthe construction of some of the most technically advanced cars of their time.
In 1966, Can Am's first real season in European factories have had little interest in a series that is only from September to November, and lasted only six events were found. Most participants were independent teams. Teams like McLaren and Surtees, both under the direction of Formula 1 Champions for the Can Am as an opportunity to build their reputation as builders have seen. Ferrari is already in possession of a championshipwinning reputation. However, a young Mexican driver Pedro Rodriguez shot named Ferrari before the fire in what would soon become the hottest road racing series on the planet.
Bridgehampton, New York, was the second round of the inaugural series Can Am The 2.85-miles loop is located in eastern Long Island would be the first time that a Ferrari would ride a Can Am event was Pedro Rodriguez a "Dino 206S Coupe coming weekend in September. The young Mexican was ableto reach 22 seats in a catalog full of open-top sports Racers led by thunderous American small block V-8s. The race will not finish the little Ferrari because of the loss of a wheel. Rodriguez appears back to Laguna Seca with Dino, this time with a 18th place finish to show for his efforts.
In early 1967, Can Am was already seen as a fantastic series, that many of the biggest names in North America road races. The series capturedLuigi Chinetti, the man at the helm of Bert (North American Racing Team), the Ferrari factory-backed team of choice in the United States. Chinetti would send one of Bert's P3 / 4 prototypes back to Maranello in early 1967 for the modification to run in this year's Can-Am series. While he was at the plant would be P3 / 4 was amended several times to move from Group 6 Group 7 rules to help too. The car is lowered and relief, while the headlights have been preserved. Determination on a boat andReplacement has been eliminated, so will be any need for such a luxury race Am P3 / 4 has also received a tree updated.
Ferrari will be present at the opening race, held in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin in 1967. Even Chinetti and Bert team would come in second game of the season against Bridgehampton. Ludovico Scarfiotti has been selected to operate the P3 / 4 weekends in September, and has a rank position of 16 space. Scarfiotti, a veteran of Formula 1, could proceed toguides the P3 / 4 7 spot in the race.
P3 pilot Scarfiotti recurrence / 4 a week later at Mosport, one of the fastest tracks in the Can Am series has taken. Bert P3 / 4 will start from 12th position in the network. This weekend will result in a DNF for the Ferrari because of an accident.
The fourth round of the 1967 Can Am season was to see the powerful sports engine in the world of beautiful Laguna Seca Raceway on the coast of central California to visit.This race will mark the birth of two new Ferrari Can Am cars through P4. Now with a full fiberglass body, a large spoiler and a larger 4.2-liter engine, it seemed as if there was a serious attempt of beer from the top names in Italy in the race. Chris Amon, and John Williams was hired to perform tasks of driving. Hollywood is the leader with experience, which has gone well at Laguna Seca Driver number 23 Ferrari P4 from 16 to the plate for a 5 space.Williams has scored well over the weekend by doing 99 laps and capture 8: and place. Two weeks later, it would be in Southern California Riverside Raceway incredible that Amon and duo Williams again trying to win at home to Maranello for them. This time the results were not as promising as Laguna Seca, with Amon finishing 3 laps in 8 space and Williams bursts. Can Am The last event in 1967 was held in Las Vegas. A dusty track in the desert of Nevada, Las Vegas was known to cause chaoswith both drivers and their machines. Amon would P4 in 13th place in the roster, as Williams returns 18 seats. Williams was a short race like a stone, took shots at 1, includes gas and bring the withdrawal of the number 27 Ferrari. Amon, the wind with a DNF due to an accident. Despite the mid-pack days of qualifying, P4 demonstrated the ability to obtain results on the podium.
1968 season will be crucial for a Ferrari. Pedro Rodriguez would once againTake the wheel of a Ferrari in Bridgehampton. Ding grid of P4 in the 11th position, Rodriguez was a trip off course early in the fight that led to a DNF in a race that had seen heavy friction. Ferrari could go through a battle with the FIA rule changes that were made during the low season. As a result, a Ferrari sports car racing as an attempt by the factory in 1968, with the exception of a tree, but the Stardust Grand Prix of Las Vegas. The car was a new issue of Ferrari 612P, chassis 0866. AccountHarrah, Ferrari West Coast importer, provided funding and assisted by the factory with full technical support. Mauro Forghieri was primarily the man behind the design of Ferrari's first real competitor Can Am
612P of the first generation with a grid frame with glued and riveted sheet metal door. The body is full of fiberglass construction, and the suspension was independent at all four corners. 612P use of a wing mounted behindwell. Flaps, of which 2 are hydraulically operated by a pedal in the cockpit to assist the braking of the motor. A nose mounted brake air was also added to work in cooperation with the fins on the pedal. This flap hydraulic system was complex and was not friendly at all about the weight of the car, which toppled the scales at about £ 1,700. The true center piece of the 612P was the engine. At a 6222 cc engine capacity, was the largest machine everdesigned by Maranello so far. The engine was a double over-head cam design with 48 valves and sporting a 10.5:1 compression ratio. Lucas indirect injection is used to give the powerful 12-cylinder with fuel, and a system of dry lubrication oliebak assured that all major components are supplied with the right amount of oil. The 612P uses a 4-speed automatic, which has helped its 620 horses to the rear wheels.
Many thought that the voice of a greatFerrari was just a rumor. The factory, to see a slowdown in the debut of the 612P from the German manufacturer head gasket, given the problems with the production of the correct package for the larger V-12-to-date. Once passed, the test starts in Modena, where he hoped the car would break the barrier of 50 seconds. It happens, but not the 612P is not to arrive at a lap of 50.8 seconds at Modena, enough to meet the team and prepare to race in Las Vegas.
Ferrari's debut in Las Vegaswas nothing less than impressive. At nearly seven feet in width, and with its 6.2 liters-V-12 production of a raw sound mechanical, like no other in the area of the 612P was hard to miss, at least to say. The factory has this effort very seriously, the appointment of Franco Gozzi, as team manager Mauro Forghieri, such as race engineer, Giulio Borsari and the position of Chief Engineer. Three mechanisms have been sent to work by car. Chris Amon, is designated as the driving functions in Stardust, he was able9 on the grid with a lap time of 1:32.2. Unfortunately, the weekend would end a 612P would jammerlik injectors clogged resulting DNF for his debut.
Ferrari 612P will be back in 1969 to compete in the Can Am, but the effort was led by Ferrari Maranello by Kiwi driver Chris Amon, plays a role is supported. The first action would be to Watkins Glen Can Am race held in mid-July. Were passed to the complex hydraulic highwings and nose-mounted emergency brake. This, together with all the deeds of the body allowed the machine to lose weight. Chassis and engine are the same as in 1968 Las Vegas race, but the weight loss allowed Chris Amon to qualify 3rd, just behind the McLaren M8Bs by Bruce McLaren and Denny Hulme. With such a high position in qualifying, so it is a promising race for who would be the second generation 612P known. Amon was competitive throughout the race even before hittingafter two orange McLaren. The end result will be a 3rd place for the Ferrari, but more importantly, a shot in the arm for the Can Am series, which began to suffer from the dominance of the McLaren team.
Chris Amon, will again provide a spectacular show with 612P on the next race in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The car was a new 6.2-liter engine is equipped for this event. It has proved as exciting as the car is asked, why the Ferrari gearbox brokeDuring practice, however, Amon would again occupy the third position on the grid behind the brilliance of Bruce McLaren and Denny. Shortly after the green flag, Amon was able to move Bruce McLaren M8B the second position, while no. It 'began with a fight, unlike the McLaren car had ever seen. Amon and McLaren would barter second place in the last few races, until M8B Chevy engine gave out. This left the second position at Ferrari, which will be retained forThe rest of the race.
Amon, will continue his line to get on the podium with the big red Ferrari at Mid Ohio. Despite a poor performance qualification of 12 spaces, Amon has managed to bring the Ferrari with the service pack to finish third, a lap behind the McLaren. Elkhart Lake was the next race, Ferrari 612P arrived with a great new aerodynamic wing mounted on struts above the rear of the car. Bracing used to support the wing struts from the car's roll bar. Amon, and Ferrari wouldstart of the race from seventh position, but a faulty fuel pump would lead to a premature end to New Zealand Director General and 612P. Bridgehampton would provide similar results for Ferrari, as Amon, grill car in P3, his race would again be stopped due to a broken oil pump shaft. Pedro Rodriguez would have saved the reputation of the Prancing Horse in Bridgehampton, with its 312P endurance races. Pedro 11 312P qualified and went to fifth place in about 4 laps behind the leader. Amonwould take the great Ferrari racing in Michigan and Laguna Seca, but engine problems would lead to the engine went on line in these events.
Riverside Raceway, will leave in October 1969, the basis for the largest V-12 Ferrari never a wheel in a saving of anger. Still retain the chassis number 0866, the car originally debuted in Las Vegas a year ago, Chris Amon, and his mechanics with a monstrous 6.9 liters-V-12 engine with the car Big Red. Maranello has been able toreach the 6.9-liters displacement of shots from the original 6.2-liter engine. The addition of the largest engine 612P has led to a new name, which is 712P, suggesting close to 7.0 liters of displacement. Amon, the shift would be to use more Ti22 Jackie Oliver won for the third fastest on the network behind the two McLarens. Ultimately, the extra power will come to no benefit, as retired Amon Ferrari after they are marked by black officials in order to receive a clandestine press begins. Amonappears for the last time before leaving in March 1970. The last game of the 1969 season was held in Texas International Speedway. Amon, who used the chassis number 0866 in 712P trim to qualify, blowing the engine 6.9 liters, and therefore must run the race with extra-unit 6.2 liter. The car was great, the trick in qualifying, with Amon, 4 touches on the roster. The smaller engine is not the last or how the wind early in the race, leading to a DNF. Chris Amon Separate WaysFerrari at the end of 1969, but failed to score 39 points in the Can Am Championship, which was enough for him in 6th place overall in the championship points.
Is the 1970 season will be possible Ferraris members of various teams over the years to see. This car was mostly Ferrari 512S models are built to FIA Group 6 rules for driving in endurance races like Le Mans and Daytona. Chassis number 0866 would return to fight for 1970 is the time to be absorbed by its new owner,Earle-Cord Racing. Would be up to 8 in the series of Donnybrook, a track in northern Colorado that Ferrari's first real challenger Can Am would be back to run. A few months between the 1969 season, and this is the end of September to get back on track with a change of ownership and a return to the Ferrari factory occupied refreshing. While the factory, which was chassis number 0866 with a 5.0 liters engine similar to those of group 6 512S running clothes haveand 512th This is another period of an amendment to the 512P.
The debut of the end of September of 512P was a promise. Functions guide wire Earle Racing entry was by Jim Adams, who managed to qualify for 6 to 8 round face Donnybrook. Adams was able to pull a 4th place in a race of attrition low. The next two games, I could not see the 512P take the checkered flag, when a problem connecting gear would retire the number 76 Ferrari at Laguna Seca and an arrestwould be the end of the event is the red car in Riverside, the end of the season.
Can Am kicked off this season of 6 races at Mosport in June 1971. Jim Adams and Ferrari 512P was obtained 8: And the fastest time in the network and finish 5 laps behind Denny Hulme McLaren M8F Chevrolet. Chassis number 0866 have lost the race in St. Jovite, but a return to center field qualification for 1971 Can Am race at Road Atlanta. A failure would be the end of the elbow 512P has played that weekend, butsomething that was much more spectacular to happen at Watkins Glen.
Watkins Glen, New York, was chosen for the debut of the new Ferrari 712 million, the chassis number 1010 would mark the first time in Las Vegas in 1968 that an official Ferrari factory SEFAC Spa point on a Can Am planning on. Ferrari 712 million is the second serious attempt to produce a Can Am Championship winning car, the first time a 1968 612P, which has had a disastrous debut in his "factory supported only trip to LasVegas. The 712 million using a modified chassis of a 512S/512M rallybil. The body has been entirely developed by a piece of paper to produce the lowest power possible. The massive 7.0-liter V12, is on the same block-based architecture as the resistance of the engine 512, with rules made, but to accommodate an increase in bore and stroke. All new heads are designed with two overhead cam design with 4 valves per cylinder. Power is said to be higher than 650 Ferraripositioning of the radiators on the sides of the car with a large channel Naca cut a round piece of work on each side of the cockpit to cool the red giant beast. Mario Andretti, assisted at the factory with its efforts for the development and distribution of tasks on the first race driving the car. 5 position with a starting point, only 712 million sitting in front of Andretti Mark Donohue Penske / Ferrari 512, one of Group 6 cars of resistance that came to Can Am race after competing in last days, 6 hoursrace. Andretti remained at the top of the field throughout the race, ending in fourth place behind Jo Siffert's Porsche 917/10 Spyder.While Ferraris might start with three races of the 1971 season, the 512 models, and would not be first in Miami, one of Ferrari Can Am Spyder occurred.
Miami would have seen the back of the Earle-512P Cord Racing, once again with Jim Adams at the wheel. As Adams scored a sixth place in qualifying for the event, theFerrari number 76 will not end because of problems with his ring and pinion. Mid-October at Laguna Seca Can Am meeting would see the Ferrari fair bit better with Adam units 512P to an eighth place to tenth on the grid. The grand final in 1971 in Riverside, where Adams has managed to qualify 13th fastest times with NGK Spark Plugs are held, sponsored Ferrari. Brake failure early in the race, will lead to the red horse war is not until the end of the event. Jim Adams would eventually1971 season with 7 points, valid for 25: EI Can Am Series point standings.
Ferraris will not be attending the first two Can Am events for the 1972 season. Three round at Watkins Glen was held and it would mark the second appearance of 712 million euros. This time, the 712 million reported by Bert, initially with Sam Posey selected major driving Ferrari. Posey opted not for the station, and Frenchman Jean-Pierre Jari is established. The 712 million was not mentioned in the best managementproperty, and little has been done to the car when was the last race in 1971 to solve the problem. Jari make the best out of sports shoes Goodyear car from the back of the plate to tenth place overall, 12 laps behind the race winner Denny Hulme McLaren M20.
The 712 million appears in the fourth round of the 1972 season, held at Mid Ohio, but will be present for five runs in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. Jari Ferrari driver would be the tenth place to start legendary track position. Bert point would go to a 4 place, which is the chassis number 1010 of the best finish in just the last trip of the season at Watkins Glen. Jean-Pierre Jari finished in 1972 Can Am season with 11 points, good for 13th overall position. Ferrari would have been recognized at the Can Am vague plans regularly after that, but they were 512 models being overtaken by the introduction of a roof 3.0 liters of displacement implemented by FIA to all resistance> Motor Sport for the 1972 season.
The last shot to be one of the great races Ferrari Spyder would be to Watkins Glen in 1974 was rejected. Bert led the chassis number 1010 for the final. At this time, Porsche has come and gone with its 12-cylinder turbocharged 917/30 Spyder, like the McLaren team, with its powerful Big Block Chevrolet. Shadow has emerged as the team showed in 1974, but the great red Ferrari would be a final walk the tracks that debuted two yearsabove. The 712 million is the reproduction of a rear fender above the tail of the car, and a revised intake scoop, which stack against tree to improve the largest 12-cylinder Ferrari engine would ever produce. Sam Posey was offered to work in 712 million, which was accepted only by breaking his foot while driving the car in practice. Posey has the brakes on the track when the pedal down to 712 million euros. Pedal effort by Mr. Posey was so great that he had a broken legmouth and eventually transfer the functions of guidance for Brian Redman. Redman, from the bottom of the net, had a decent run until the breaking of the rear suspension could keep him from going. The last race for Ferrari's largest, was the most brutal car finally a DNF.
Herbert Mueller would pilot a 512 in the last race of the Can Am in 1974. The race was held in Elkhart Lake in late August and is known as the Can Am final race of the classical period. Mueller drove his 512 in ninth on the grida sixth, a lap until the race winner Scooter Patrick's McLaren M20. At this time, several factors have led to the end of what most believe is the greatest road racing series ever. Ferrari were well represented, mostly by pirates, using the period 1966-1974, Can Am While only factory genuine bidders Can Am, the 612P/712P/512P (chassis number 0866) and the terrible 712 million ( chassis number 1010), the stars have had careers in the series, and it should be noted thatwas much in the development of renewable massive V-12 engines for the animal's red Maranello mighty wizard. Just today, some 35 years after the 712m race final outing in New York, in order to build a Ferrari with a 12-cylinder engine of more than 6.0 liters. The new FXX boasts a 6262cc V-12 mounted amidships with 800 horses has been seen as a modern descendant of the monster huge 7.0 liters red who once attended the spectacular tracks of the North –America. Too, Can Am Ferrari would be better to forget. But despite the problems of the red car in the U.S. series, the fact that Ferrari have the time and effort for a couple Racers won impressive awards. After all, it is difficult to argue that a big Italian V-12 sounds anything but fantastic, no matter how fast it is.
Solar Powered cars are a realistic possibility?
Posted on February 4, 2010, under Sports Cars Articles.
Solar cars are the wave of the future. Or not.
True solar-powered cars are actually electric motor powered by solar panels. The panels produce electricity by converting sunlight into energy stored in batteries. These batteries are the vehicle.
The problem is that manufacturers of solar-powered cars have not figured out how to get some very big … to solve problems, so really solar car from the marketpracticable.
To use energy efficiently from solar, solar-powered car would be much lighter, they must be designed so close to the aerodynamically perfect as possible … None of these restrictions for a good road car. After all, you do not want a machine that at least 5 people can wear and walk 70 km / h on the highway? And what about air conditioning?
If this is what you want from a vehicle, you do not want a solarwa … yet. In the first place where the solar-powered cars can now not more than 2 people do. Now you can be great, you want a sports car. But if you're a sports car, you probably need to go beyond a speed of 60 miles per hour.
Grants will continue to work with solar cells enable them to very, very small, and the machines they use to be more "user friendly".
But in the meantime, just because the real sunThe cars can still dream about these things could be the solar powered hybrid vehicles actually turns out to be quite practical.
In fact, systems that use solar energy to charge a battery hybrid cars (with an additional solar battery system), the engine that are actually hybrids of work for long periods in the electric (rather than gas) state, before having to pay . The use of such a solar system can be loaded in order to increase fuel economy by at least25%.
By reducing the dependence of charging the battery hybrid running on solar energy instead of gasoline power, the use of solar energy, hybrid cars do even more "green" than they already are.
Take care,

The 240Z success was also due to the fact that the car has perfected the idea of a low-cost, reliable sports cars. The person responsible for the design and creation of the Datsun240Z was Yutaka Katayama and in recognition of his commitment to this legendary vehicle was in the 1998 Automotive Hall of Fame induction.
The history of Datsun 240Z engine is very interesting because it is a deviant of the Datsun 1600 engine which in itself was a copy of 1960 Mercedes-Benz six-cylinder engine with two cylinders less. Add two more cylinders back to the Datsun 1600 engine, and you have the 240Z engine with 151 brake horse. With 146 pounds-feet of torque, itA vehicle can reach 0-sixty in eight seconds, add the rack and pinion in front and independent suspension and you have a machine with a fast response, excellent performance and handling. Bring everything to a halt in the few seconds that was before brakes. Prysetiket with the launch of $ 3500 is much smaller than its competitors in the market at that time.
There is a strong history of the Datsun 240Z Sports Car Club of America, because it is a production of class C dominatesclass in 10 years 1970-1979. John Morton row for businesses Brock in 1970 and in 1971 was the first victory in SCCA C-production class racing with a 240Z. In 1972, winner in 1973 and again in 1975, Bob Sharp was in a 240Z with Walt Mass continues the race winner in 1974.
1974 was an increase in displacement to 2.6 liters and the vehicle was renamed the 260Z actually lead to the end of the scale seen 240Z has sold less than 117,000 models during its lifetime. The260Z engine has a lower power brake 139 due to higher emissions standards in the United States each year past.
The Datsun 260Z seems to be a more practical car than its predecessor, and during his first year and only when production is 63,963 units will provide the Z series all time sales record is sold.
Hydrogen car – No Gasoline No Diesel!
Posted on February 1, 2010, under Sports Cars Articles.
What is the first time, thinking that you want to be on the road, especially when caught in a jam of the story is the fault of the world of love with fuel-hungry SUVs. The use of hydrogen technology and fuel cells is an important part of the elimination of greenhouse gases and combating climate change. Fuel cell systems offer a promising technology for the future, with the benefits that the zero-emission, high efficiency and low noise included.
-No global warming … no ozone depletion … No Acid rain and …100% pollution-free environment is the greatest need to save our environment. I think that God is good to accept the endless prayers for us all. No man is a joke! Has already replied to the brilliant researchers who developed the hydrogen car … This is a lightweight vehicle powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, with the style and space enough to compete with luxury sport utility vehicle (SUV).
These engines generally use the hydrogen in one of two methods: a fuel or fuel-cellsuccess. In combustion, hydrogen is "burned" in engines basically the same method as traditional gasoline cars. The conversion of fuel, the hydrogen is converted into electricity by fuel cells that then the electric motors.
What else is what you will about the hydrogen car … These hydrogen cars in the coming clean "green" energy future by experts, the engines, plans to ask not only 99 miles per gallon zero emissions, but can also play a centralrole in supplying electricity to a power-hungry world.
Vehicle developed would be three to four times more expensive than traditional two or three wheels and the cost of operation would be more. But as the technology evolves, the cost should decrease significantly.
Governments around the world to help fund research for the development of hydrogen using renewable energy sources to replace the current reliance on coal and natural gas. It is also produced as aby-product in chemical and fertilizer.
The new 5 kilowatt fuel cell vehicles on hydrogen will usher in a new generation of fuel cell technology. The hydrogen needed to fuel these vehicles can be produced by any means to reduce the dependence of F-supplies of oil and thus generate energy. Emits only heat and water as a byproduct of this process, systems of fuel cells are environmentally friendly and can operate continuously as long as fuel is supplied. Each rechargeable currently about70 km mileage. Efforts are also on the increase in the mileage of the hydrogen vehicle to 100-150 km per charge.
Hydregen hydrogen cars use water as a primary source of energy for use. British Columbia leadership in the development of hydrogen and fuel cells and is based on a desire for the world's hydrogen highway developed in the first place, in time for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games, "said Richard Neufeld, Minister of British ColumbiaEnergy and Mines.
R. John Effort, Minister of Natural Resources Canada. "By working together we can ensure that Canada remains a world leader in this technology, rather than on track to become known." Government of Canada has invested 4.5 million U.S. dollars in this project. No to global warming and ozone depletion, renewable, no acid rain, pollution, 100% free.
In India, the Ministry of Non-conventional energy (multinational) hope that hydrogen powered vehicles on Indian roads2007 with International Tractors Ltd (ITL) has agreed to start commercial production. "With ITL, which manufactures Sonalika brand of tractors, has agreed to undertake commercial production of two and three-wheel hydrogen-powered vehicles, developed by the Banaras Hindu University (BHU), we hope to have available in 2007," said SK Chopra , senior consultant for multinational companies. BHU has spent 50 demo car in its campus for the past years. Although the development of affordable hydrogencell vehicles using renewable energy sources is still an objective for many countries like India, the vehicle was developed by the BHU uses metal rods or hydrite solid for storing hydrogen, an environmentally friendly fuel. The Ministry finally hydrogen roadmap that includes India produces 1000 MW of power and one million hydrogen vehicles on the road in 2020 with an estimated investment of R 2500 crore. The script has been a part of the integrated energy policybeing finalized Reva Electric Car Company Pvt Ltd (RECC) and Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), there will be two cars on hydrogen fuel cells developed (FCVs) for a pilot project launched by the International Olympic Committee that the hydrogen economy in India for development. Under the agreement, RECC will use its expertise to build these hydrogen vehicles with fuel cell modules and components that must come from abroad and IOC will provide the infrastructure for hydrogen supply and storage and prove his carResearch and development (R & D) center in Faridabad.
