INDYCAR compared with Formula 1, from the appearance very similar, but their internalThey are quite different. Formula One commonly used displacement of 3. SL, 12 cylinders or less, without turbocharger naturally aspirated engine using unleaded gasoline as fuel, the octane number can not exceed 102RON oil per game may not exceed 220L, racing minimum mass 505kg. INDYCAR are in lightweight, displacement 2.65L, 8-cylinder turbocharged engine the following, non-volatile using methanol as a fuel.
INDYCAR weight ratio of Formula 1, it weighs slightly more than 700kg, which limits the weight ratio of 40% by weight of a Formula One racing. Most INDYCAR to meet minimum weight requirements in the game, had to put a large number of ballast.
Formula active suspension can be used, a clutch control system, anti-lock braking system, a semi-automatic shift apparatus may be employed; in INDYCAR prohibit the use of these devices. Not allowed on INDYCAR advanced electronic devices, it is common to use a high clutch, ordinary shift devices.
INDYCAR can travel in a variety of track, the front and rear fender, the entire aerodynamic housing (including the hood), the suspension means are quite different at different game arena. In INDYCAR, the total amount of fuel is limited, each match each car is assigned to a certain fuel tank capacity is defined as 15lL, which makes a team during the game and the final stage, different strategies. INDYCAR compared to Formula One racing, both big and heavy but the structure is simple, but that does not mean that it is slower than an F1 car. Throughout the course of Indy car racing, riders can fully show their technique, courage, courage and experience.
Formula One car race
This is the car one kind of competition venues. Racing manufacturing program must be developed vehicle technology regulations issued pursuant to the rules of the International Automobile Federation, including body structure, length and width, minimum weight, engine volume, number of cylinders, fuel tank capacity, electronics, tires and large distancesAnd small.Formula different levels of manufacturing program. Items belonging to Formula One motor racing are: F1, F-3000, F-3, Formula Asia, unlimited equation, Formula Ford, Formula Renault, Formula Karting and so on.

Here the “formula” takes the meaning of a certain format, i.e., strict rules by weight, length, width, distance and size of the tire of the car. In all Formula One racing, Formula One racing is the most senior level.
FIA F1 racing cars in claim displacement of 3L, 12 cylinders or less, without turbocharger naturally aspirated engine. F1 car chassis employed for the manufacture of carbon fiber, very light weight, very strong. Racing chassis low, only 50-70 mm minimum clearance from the ground. Compared with ordinary cars, F1 racing has many unique places, it’s thin body and long, low ride height, very conspicuous large wheels, and is fully exposed, the so-called “open-wheel”(Open Wheel).
per F1 racing car manufacturers are world famous masterpiece. Such a car worth more than seven million dollars or even less than the value of a small plane. F1 car racing, racing is not only the courage and wisdom of driving skills competition, also in the back of science and technology competition between major car company. Ford Motor company on the image of the car contest as a “high-tech Olympics” launched in the new racing car contest, from design to manufacture a coalescence of many developer of the effort, and represents the latest high-tech company and the level of a country’s automobile competition or the quality of the national science and technology talent contest. the German approximately more than 2,000 professionals directly involved in car design, manufacturing and research work, about 1 million people in the United States; Japan is the largest, estimated that about nearly 2 million people

Since the car often unexpected, FISA requires that all host country racing circuit must have sufficient grass buffer. each stadium ambulance personnel Must be distributed in every corner of the audience, for the moment the accident, ran into the site, for emergency treatment.
are required to enter each car in the car three days beforeTest line, and arranged according to the starting rank test lap.

rally
road conditions Rally is very complex, each piece of special sections as a race, such as a race full of twists and turns at the winding mountain road, another race is It is a dark forest dirt road. Rally route is the same, but not on the same flight, but a next one, each at different stages of a race record time required by the referees, the shortest total time is the winner.
Large Rally team often consists of dozens of players and a variety of vehicles, of which there are responsible for passing information to a motorcycle, a truck load of spare parts, medical vehicles, and sometimes even straight liter aircraft.
differ from ordinary cars racing on the streets, although the appearance of the same, but to participate in domestic competitions automotive requirements is more than the annual output of cars in 2500, and there are at least two modifications: safety modifications and technical modifications.
WRC World Rally Championship introduced
countries was held up at 5.14 the station’s “World Rally Championship” (World Rally Championship) in the world, referred to as the WRC. Rally from the English word “Rally”, meaning there is assembled. It represents the participating vehicles must be in strict accordance with the provisions of competition in the travel route information, within the prescribed time, place of arrival of each road closure or repair areas like maintenance requirements and provisions of game time other projects. Since the game is not only the level of the test riders, but also with the test, the vehicle’s performance and maintenance of the power of the pilot. Therefore, no round for a player or team isItem very complex and comprehensive test. Rally’s stage as an ordinary road after various temporary closure, including the winding mountain road, gravel road, muddy road, snow road mountains and hills, it is also not closed desert, desert, grassland and other locations. Rally interval start is to take the form of a world-seeded grid interval is 1 minute, 2 minutes the other players. Participating vehicles are the major automobile manufacturers annual production of more than 2500 of prototype cars, but have been modified to varying degrees before the competition. A group called Unlimited modified car, in addition to retain the original appearance and signs outside, almost all of the components can be retrofitted. After A standard set of modified racing, as tanks are generally strong, but they are costly, usually sponsored by the automobile manufacturers directly in order to achieve professional racing team. The so-called professional racing team is, and those famous NBA team, the same football team, regardless of the players or the staff, the annual task is to participate in the game, and the game of life rely on income. There are restrictions modified called Group N, which allows only a limited safety modifications and performance modifications, internal engine must maintain a standard road car is not allowed to change the dynamic. Due to the relatively small group N conversion costs, so much for the amateur teams and individuals selected handed use. Amateur teams and individuals participating players and other personnel, usually have their own fixed occupation, only to appear in the game in the racing venue.
A group above, N group S group or a car, is traveling on an ordinary road. Each car must also take a driver and a navigator. Drivers just drive, give full play to their own superb driving level, and pilot work are more complex, it is necessary to arrange some of the old habits during the game, but also for the drivers indicate the correct orientation for each day of the game and in the game route, and timely and accurately provide road ahead in stages in order to riders under the premise can not see the road ahead can be accurately made. It can be said, a pair of players act in harmony, co-driver is the driver’s line of sight extends, whether in front of the curve is still steep, as long as the pilot reported in a timely and accurate, as drivers can safely drive. After more than ten to twenty penalties recorded several stages to take cycling interval starting the game, finish the prescribed time whether timeout sum of all stages combined in various assembly points according to earlier report, etc. or circumstances, the least time wins . Therefore, the way to scoring rally is also the most complex.If F1 racing compared to the Rally, the former high speed, straight line up to 300 km, but the vehicle has always been honest and stay on the ground running. The rally is generally the highest average speed reached over one hundred, can reach more than 200 km when straight. Although not as fast as the speed F1, but it will be brought up when the vehicle is passing through billowing smoke, and there will be a beautiful picture of jumping, sliding, flushing, etc., more appreciation. In addition, rally driver required driving skills is very comprehensive, not only have high-speed driving on asphalt technology, but also have high-speed driving skills on a variety of complicated road gravel road, muddy road, dirt road, snow and roads. So, Rally test of the driver’s other tournament players do not have. Therefore, the special charm Rally is an important reason to attract many players to participate.
rally is divided into two main forms: one by megestrol arriving point B, which lasted fifty-six days or even fifteen or twenty days straight, long distance marathon Rally (Granada – Dakar Rally, 555 Hong Kong Beijing Rally and Paris – Moscow – Ulan Bator – Beijing Rally belong to this type of game), this type of competition held only once a year, each lasting five days to twenty ranging from a few days; a different direction each day to travel but all return to the same place, which lasted two to three days Championship series tournament, the games held every year in the number of games or more than a dozen different countries and regions. If the day of departure and return to the place as a center, then travel the route every day and are at the center outward radiation, which is shaped like a plum in general, therefore, this type of rally, also known as “Plum” Rally, WRC is the kind of game. WRC throughout the year in the world held fourteen races, each sub-station produces a pair of driver and co-driver races, the annual total score the most points in each sub-station a pair of drivers and pilots racing to be the year when the WRC world champion.
