Wszyscy wiemy, opracowanie, i w szczególności sporządzanie guz, jest oczywiście w NASCAR. Ale co było interesujące w tym roku Daytona okrągłe, pierwszym wyścigu sezonu, było, że projekt rozwinął się co najlepiej nazwać tandem jazdy. Pierwszy lets set the scene. Going into 2011, the essentially spec chassiss are now mated to front and rear fascias that are more appropriate to their manufacturer. This helps to make all makes the (Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford i Toyota) look more like their street car inspiration. The legendary high-banks of Daytona received a fresh coat of asphalt. But the cars were getting too fast, so the restrictor plate was przeskalowane to cut an additional 10 horsepower or so–nothing more than lip service, in other words. Added up, though it turned out the fastest way to go around the tri-oval was by literally hooking up with another car. It got kind of śmieszne, really, as the announcers were using dancing analogies. W międzyczasie Oto kilka rzeczy, które był myśląc o, podczas gdy oglądałem to wszystko rozwijają przede mną. - So there are two cars involved, one is the leader and the other the pusher. This much is obvious, ale whats hard to grasp is just how little the pusher sees and how much that person must trust the leader and all the obserwatorzy that are involved. Over the team radio graciously loaned to me by the Penske/Pennzoil team, I was able to hear driver Kurt Busch and his crew chief Steve Addington speak with multiple zespoły as they figured out what strategy to do. There were moments were as you listen to the radio, you realize the leader is actually driving two cars. The trust factor and skill level is high with a good leader/pusher pair. - Again, something that should be obvious: When youre the pusher, youre not exposing your engine to a lot of cool air to keep your engine at comfortable temperatures. The guys at Penske like to think its the motor oil from their new title sponsor Pennzoil that helped keep their Dodge engines running well even when being used as a pusher. We twojej wont refute it, especially when Shell, Pennzoils parent company, goes to great lengths between their Formula1, MotoGP, ALMS and NASCAR technical relationships to maximize information sharing.
