in the Grand Prix this station, the car’s reliability are more important than in any other race. Some slow corners (eg Jones, Clark, Ascari, or Prost) required by the car particularly good grip performance and excellent traction. The U-bend lines require treatment in second gear or third gear speed. And Whiteford, Lauda and Waite This curve requires several cars have optimal aerodynamic balance system. Some areas will be bumpy track, racing requires drivers to take full account of the spring and damping system.
As the track open all year round, so the track seemed more slippery, especially on Friday when. This may cause the car to rotate the free testing process. The relatively minor track of tire wear. The best position is on the overtaking sprint straight. According to the statistics show, the first race in Australia seemTo some extent it may herald the season’s championship trend.
4, technical requirements
Albert Park circuit Brake system. Track the car’s brake system test of a great, high-temperature and Melbourne gave such a test “fuel.” Racing often from more than 300 kilometers per hour direct access to some low speed range, resulting in frequent brake cooling system to be considered a priority target team, and bumpy track surface braking area also requires adjustment of the orientation of the car softer.
balance system. Albert Park track has a lot of short straights (the car will reach 300 km / h, even higher rate, 70 percentage track, the drivers will be the highest speed driving), while the track is also dotted with 16 slow, medium-speed corners. Throughout the competition, the drivers will need to shift nearly 3500 times. Therefore, when the torque out of the corners of the car, balancing system, gearbox and plenty of stability when the brakes are able to get the key elements to victory in the Australian Grand Prix.
