Championship, the Chinese full name of the World Formula One Championship. F1
With the World Cup soccer and the Olympic Games, F1 is known as one of the "World's Three Greatest Sports" because of its wide range of influence and high visibility.
In the 45 years (1950-1995) that Formula One has been held, 580 races have been organized. The largest number of events were held in Europe,*** 407, mostly in Monza, Italy,*** 45, followed by Monaco, Zandvoort, Spa, Silverstone and Nuremberg. The least is Oceania only 11 times.
In the old days, racing was often done on city streets and highways, and the rules were not well developed, so the competitors were limited. With the emergence of professional circuits, the rules of the race are constantly being improved. This allows the drivers to have a better performance. The rules can be divided into two categories;
One, because of the consideration of the safety of the race and the fairness of the competition, the FIA has formulated three principle rules.
The organizing committee, in order to make a relatively level playing field for the racers so that they can realize their respective potentials, has made clear regulations on the dimensions of the cars. This includes the weight, size, fuel type, cylinder and tire size of the car. The installation of the aerodynamic device is also specified. This device has a downforce on the tires, which can increase the speed of the car.
The organizing committee has provided the best safety measures to prevent accidents. The basic structure of the car, military tires, safety rubber fuel tanks, fuel retardant, helmets and other devices are all regulated. The driver's access to the cockpit and the size of the cockpit are also regulated. The location of the fuel tanks and the fuel storage area in the pits are also regulated, as well as the protection of the Jumanji doors.
The organizing committee decided to limit the number of races to 16 per year and prohibited any increase in the number of races in order to prevent the imposition of heavy financial burdens on teams and individuals. The engine of the car should have an oval shape and no more than 12 cylinders. It must also have four-stroke interchangeable and naturally aspirated; and two of the four tires on the car must be drivable.
Due to the special nature of Formula One racing, the length, width, surface conditions, and safety precautions of the race track are extremely stringent. This is to avoid danger. Therefore, the track is generally circular, each lap is 3-7 kilometers long, the total length of the track is 305-320 kilometers, he generally can not have too long straight, in the track should be wide grass or sand, to reduce the threat to the spectators.
For a qualified dedicated track, the following equipment is indispensable;
1, the track must have a lot of curves to control the speed of the car. Today's circuits are between 3 and 7 kilometers per lap and between 7 and 11 meters wide.
2,The start/finish straight has to be able to hold two cars side by side without feeling crowded, so it is usually required to be 12 meters wide and about 250 meters long.
3,For the safety of the spectators, the grandstand must be separated from the track by a 1.2-meter-high railing and a barbed wire fence.
4,The track must be equipped with cameras and TV towers for TV broadcasting.
5,In order for the spectators in the grandstands to be able to see the entire race, a large screen television must be installed opposite the grandstands.
6,Safety personnel should set up observation stations in relatively dangerous areas so that they can keep the track clear at all times, deal with emergencies in a timely manner and signal to the riders of potential dangers.
7, have a helicopter to provide first aid to injured riders.
8,Have a medical station with an operating room and first aid room in a protected location next to the pit stop.
9,Teams will be required to have a permanent repair point for their facilities.
10,The sponsor's hospitality stand will be set up on a high stand at the rear of the pit stop and must be able to overlook the pit stop.
11,Parking facilities for transportation and camping vehicles are required.
12,In order to allow the marshal to communicate with the safety personnel via radio to ensure the smooth running of the race, the race control tower must be located so that the entrance to the pit can be seen, i.e. on the second level of the whole tower.
