	Formula One
		Formula One, or Grand Prix racing is the best known single-seater auto racing class, which involves an annual world championship.
		In any case, whilst they made the cars faster, fans perceived that the new aids were taking away the need for driver skill and so in 1994 the series changed to naturally-aspirated engines[?] and removed many of the driver aids.
		From 2004 on, the same engine must be used for two complete race weekends, from 2005 it will be four and from 2006 eight.

		The engine and transmission of a modern Formula One car are some of the most highly stressed pieces of machinery on the planet, and the competition to have the most power on the grid is still intense.
		Engine power outputs in Formula One racing are also a fascinating insight into how far the sport has moved on.
		The engine is a stressed component within the car, bolting to the carbonfibre 'tub' and having the transmission and rear suspension bolted to it in turn.

	List of Formula One engines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The engine formulae are divided according to era.
		Formula 2 cars were allowed, and the World Championship was run under F2 rules in 1952 and 1953, but F1 races were still held in those years.
		For 2006, the engines must be 90° V8 of 2.4 litres maximum capacity with a 98 mm maximum circular bore, which imply a 39.7 mm minimum stroke.

	ATLAS F1 - The FIA FAQ on Formula One World Championship
		The regulations specify maximum and minimum dimensions, engine capacity, what is permitted technically and what is not permitted and, perhaps most important of all, a large number of safety measures to be incorporated in the car with a view to protecting the driver.
		In addition to a large number of regulations governing chassis design, the current formula restricts the cylinder capacity of the engine to 3 litres, prohibits supercharging and stipulates a minimum total weight of 600 kg, including the weight of the driver and his race equipment.
		Following the introduction of the first "formula" in 1904 by the FIA (which restricted maximum weight), categories were created for the smaller cars, but the name "Formula One" did not appear until 1948.

		Obviously for this type of engine the size of the V is a major factor and must be decided in the first phases of the engine design.
		Although the engine evolved from RS21 to RS23 and was beneficial in terms of the centre of gravity it was finally abandoned.
		The geometric centre of the engine in a lateral sense will be considered to lie on the centre of the crankshaft and at the mid point between the centres of the forward and rear most cylinder bores longitudinally.

	BBC - h2g2 - An Introduction to Formula One Racing
		Formula One has progressed over the years from being held on true road circuits such as Spa-Franchorchamps and Rheims which were on public roads between villages, to custom-built race tracks such as the one in Sepang, Malaysia, that was designed purposely for Formula One.
		Modern Formula One engines are so well made that they do not use gaskets - it is said that if you pulled off the cylinder head and disconnected the crankshaft on the upward swing of a piston, the force it nowadays wields would shoot it over 500 feet up into the air.
		The engines are truly an engineering marvel and a long way from what now appear to be the rather cumbersome old V8s of the 1960s and the turbo engines in the 1980s that were developing a reported 1400 horsepower.

	BMW World - 8-Cylinder Engines
		The concept of the engine is based on its successful predecessor, the P83, but all the components were modified to respond to new F1 rules which require using the engine over the entire racing weekend.
		Engine management is subject to immense demands by an engine which races at 19,000 rpm while still having to be driveable at low revs.
		Engineers who normally design the onboard electronic systems for the BMW M3 and M5 models have also developed the engine management system for Formula One engines.

	Motor racing: Formula One experiments with its minor league - Sports - International Herald Tribune
		PARIS At a time when Formula One, the highest level of world motor sport, is torn with internal disputes on where it is headed and who will run it, an experiment in racing style and management is being carried out in a new junior league on Grand Prix weekends.
		Bernard Dudot, the former head of the Renault Formula One engine department, who retired from Renault in April and now runs the technical side of GP2, said preparing the drivers better for Formula One was one of the goals.
		Formula 3000 was supposed to serve that purpose, but in recent years drivers were drawn more from Formula Nippon in Japan, Formula Nissan and various Formula 3 series around Europe.

	Dummies::Checking Out Formula One Clothing
		From the early years of the Formula One world championship, it became obvious that improvements to safety would not just depend on the design of cars and circuits.
		Because of the incredible heat in a Formula One cockpit during the race, it is vital the drivers are kept well hydrated so they do not get tired and run-down, which could lead to them making mistakes and crashing out.
		Formula One drivers could soon be making use of the kind of high-tech Heads Up Display (HUD) technology that is now used every day by fighter pilots.

		With sealed engines, spec transmissions, shocks, tires and brakes, the formula puts emphasis on driving ability and preparation.
		Some assembly will be required, as the engine will not be mounted to the chassis and the corners will require reinstallation after shipment.

		As part of the rules compromise reached earlier this year, Formula One's ruling body the FIA insisted that F1's engine manufacturers create an "affordable" engine supply that would be available to the privateer teams.
		Several engine manufacturers have said they are not in a position to supply customer engines to anyone; others have said they can do it but not for 10 million; and still others have said they couldn't anything before 2005.

		WOT analysis from a Formula 1 car’s qualifying laps [1] The ability to accelerate the quickest out of a corner is the most important quality necessary for passing in racing, assuming all cars are equally powered.
		This study analyzed two engines, Engine A and Engine B. Engine A was the standard Ferrari Formula 1 V10, while Engine B had an even higher bore-to-stroke ratio.
		The piston in engine B was modified in three different ways which all increased the compression ratio to the desired value.

	CBC Sports Online: Formula One 2006
		Formula One bearing no relationship to real life, of course, it's hardly a surprise that the 24-year-old Spanish wonder, who last year became the youngest ever world champion, has already signed to leave Renault at the end of this season.
		However, the teams were not allowed to use them as F1 rules at the time required a team to race on the same tires they used during practice and qualifying.
		Michelin and the teams then requested a chicane be built to slow the cars through a particularly challenging corner on the track, but Formula One refused their request.

		The new V8 engines are heavier, shorter and, due to a 600 cc reduction in capacity, have lower output and fuel consumption.
		The shorter powerplant, moreover, allowed the engineers to extend the titanium casing of the 7-speed transmission, which favoured the construction of a decidedly slimline rear end.
		The engineers turned their focus primarily on aerodynamics, where it was not only a question of optimum downforce but enhanced efficiency as well.

		The engines in them are specially built for racing, designed to whir at 17,000 revolutions per minutes, which, by comparison, puts Indy-car and NASCAR engines on the same pace as a hamster perpetually churning on an exercise wheel.
		The sounds of the Formula One engines, well turned out by Ferrari, Mugen-Honda, Ilmor-Mercedes, and the other engine-makers for a princely $20 million a year per team, are truly incomparable.
		The chinks in the Formula One armor in that regard that admittedly concern all involved are the diminished access to the participants, compared to those in the 500 and the 400, and the lack of lavish festivals, parades, and other ancillary events leading up to the U.S. Grand Prix itself.
