Six Generations Of Speed: The Evolution Of NASCAR Styles

SIX_FARIAIERATIONS OF SPEED: THE EVOLUTION OF STOCK CAR STYLES 2013 FORD FUSION NASCAR adds showroom style to its Sprint Cup Series racetracks. 2012 CHEVROLET IMPALA The end of Generation 5 also marked the end of this model in NASCAR. 2006 FORD FUSION Man Kenneth drove this Ford during the final full season of Generation 4 cars. 1991 CHEVROLET LUMINA The Intimidator became a legend in this third-generation Chevrolet. 1977 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO American muscle hit the track in full force as aerodynamics became more advanced, 1965 FORD GALAXIE This is the last year Ford raced with a stock chassis before the introduction of the unibody Fairlane and Torino. IF: 2013 - • Manufacturer-unique body panels placed on existing chassis • Enhanced body designs better resemble the cars found in showrooms across the United States • Design puts the 'stock' back into stock car racing ERATION 5: 2007-2012 Q, • Introduced new era of safety • Common body and chassis for all manufacturers reduced need for track-specific racecars • Front splitter, rear wing offer teams aero adjustment options • Highly-modified body • Teams spent hours in wind tunnel to gain aero edge • Bumpers/nose and tail composed of molded fiberglass based off of production counterparts ION 3: 1991-1991 • Wheel base reduced to 110 inches • NASCAR downsizes cars to better resemble cars on the showroom floor Body panels still purchased through manufacturers ERATION 2: 1957-1980 • Stock body with a modified frame • Modified chassis became part of the sport with Holman-Moody, Banjo Matthews and Hutchenson-Pagan building chassis for teams GENERATION 1: 1040-1955 • Strictly stock frame and body • Doors strapped or bolted shut, seat belts required • Heavy-duty rear axles required to keep cars from flipping during the race The development and design of the latest NASCAR Sprint Cup Series cars continues a robust tradition of styling that dates back to the earliest days of our sport. Here's a quick-hit look at how stock cars have changed through the years, including some important transitional makes and models. 2012 DODGE CHARGER Brad Keselowski's Blue Deuce featured a new front splitter that better resembled production models. 2001 DODGE INTREPID Dodge made its return to NASCAR with this Bill Elliott-driven Intrepid owned by Ray Evernham. 1987 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GM extended the rear windshield and shortened the decklid of its Aero Coupe model. 1973 DODGE CHARGER King Richard Petty won his fourth Daytona 500 with Hemi power under the hood of this classic ride, 1956 FORD CONVERTIBLE Despite the new four-point roll cage, convertible cam competed for the last time in 1962 at Darlington 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY Competitors and fans missed the look of the spoiler, soil returned at Marfinsville on 3127/2010. 1998 FORD TAURUS This was the first four-door stock car model approved for NASCAR competition in the modern era. 1987 FORD THUNDERBIRD On April 30. 1987, Bill Elliott set the NASCAR qualifying speed record at Talladega in this carol 212,809 mph. 1970 DODGE DAYTONA Aerodynamics took center stage at Daytona and Talladega with the introduction of the 'wing cars' Au. se. gt 1952 HUDSON HORNET Hudson was the first manufacturer to provide factory support to NASCAR racing teams, 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA SS Jimmie Johnson's championship can featured a front splitter, rear wing and a whole lot of dominance. 1995 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO Chevrolet switched from the Lumina also Monte Carlo and Jeff Gordon drove it to four championships al( 1981 BUICK REGAL This is the first 110-inch wheelbase model driven to a championship in NASCAR's premier series. 1967 FORD FAIRLANE Due to unibody construction on the stock vehicle, NASCAR allowed purpose built race chassis for safety. 1939 FORD COUPE NASCAR's earliest races featured pre-World War II models due to a post-World War II car shortage.

The F1 2012 rules explained in a infographic

Fl CARS: PERFORMANCE 1.88 LB/HP SUSPENSION/STEERING Fl cars must have conventional sprung suspension, Any active suspension that can alter the suspension or its geometry while the car is moving is forbidden. The suspension members must have a symmetrical profile for the majority of their length to prevent using them as aerodynamic devices. Each wheel must be tied to the body of the car by two tethers, Power steering systems are allowed, but these must not be electronically controlled or powered. Four-wheel steering is forbidden. COCKPIT A driver most be able to get in and out of the car without removing anything other than its steering wheel. Once strapped into the car with all his safety gear on, he must be able to remove the steering wheel and get out within five seconds, and then replace the steering within a further five seconds, The car's survival cell structure, designed to pro-tect the driver in the event of an accident, must extend at least 300mm beyond the driver's feet, which must not be forward of the front-wheel centre line. KERS Allowed since 2009, the Kinetic Energy Re-covery System is pretty much what it says it is: a mechanism that recvovers energy normally lost during braking and coasting, The energy can be stored electrically in a battery. The system can provide an up to 80 HP boost when needed, The KERS boost is available in fixed quantities per lap via a steering wheel-mounted boost button. You know, like picking up a mushroom in Mario Kart. HEELS AND TIRES Formula One cars must have four, uncovered wheels, all made of the same metallic mate-rial, which must be one of two magnesium alloys specified by the FIA. Front wheels must be between 305- 355mm wide, the rears be-vveen 365 - 380mm. With tires the wheels must be no more than 660mm in diameter (670mm with wet-weather tires). Tires may only be inflated with air or nitrogen. No helium, cheaters. TIRE TYPES Six types of tires are permitted to be used in Fl racing, all Pirellis, two types weekend. They're identi-fied by color INTERMEDIATE/WET FULL WET SUPER SOFT/ DRY SOFT/DRY MEDIUM/DRY HARD/DRY FUEL Fl cars run on gas, which is not that different from normal gas, and have -40 gallon tanks. FIA regu-lations state that the rules are 'intended to ensure the use of fuels which are predominantly composed of compounds normally found in com-mercial fuels and to prohibit the use of specific power-boosting chemical compounds!' Each race the team must supply the FIA with two separate 5L samples. Additional samples can be taken during the event to ensure that there is no funny business. Oh, and no refueling during the race for your under 3 MPG cars! BODYWORK/AERODYNAMICS Fl must be no more than 180cm wide The length and height of the car are effectively governed by other spe-cific parameters. For example, bodywork ahead of the rear wheel center line must be a maximum of 140cm wide. Bodywork behind it must be no more than 100cm wide. Front and rear overhangs are limited to 120cm and 60cm from the wheel centre lines. The whole of the body is designed for the optimal flow of air to reduce drag, increase downforce, and provide adequate cooling. It's tricky to do it all. With the exception of the rear wing (see below), moveable bodywork is not allowed. Furthermore, any system, device or procedure which uses driver movement as a means of altering the aerodynamic characteristics of the cars bodywork is prohibited. Cars may be equipped with moveable rear wings which allow the driver to control the wing's angle of incidence from the cockpit. During the race the system is electronically governed and is only available when a driver is less than one second behind another car at pre-determined points on the track. The system is then deactivated once the driver brakes. Along with KERS, this is designed to boost overtaking, with the bigger goal of making less boring races. Prediction for 2020: flamethrowers. ENGINE Fl engines may be no more than 2.4 litres in capacity, and have eight cylinders in a 90-degree formation, with two inlet and two exhaust valves per cylinder. They must be normally aspirated, weigh at least 95 kilograms and be rev-limited to 18.000rpm. Aside from that last part, it doesn't sound that different from a Chevy crate small-block. Tur-bochargers, superchargers and devices designed to pre-cool air before it enters the engine's cylinders are not allowed. No injection of any substance into the cylinders other than air and fuel. Variable-geometry inlet and exhaust systems are also forbidden, axis variable valve timing. Each cylinder may have just one fuel injector and ignition must be by a single spark plug. The crankcase and cylinder block most be made of cast or wrought aluminium alloys no composite materials, The crankshaft and camshafts must be made from an iron-based alloy, pistons from an aluminium alloy and valves from alloys based on iron, nickel, cobalt or titanium. Fl cars do not have onboard starting systems. Separate starting devices are used to start engines in the pits and on the grid. If the engine is fitted with an anti-stall device, this must be set to cut the engine within ten seconds in the event of an accident GEARBOX Fl cars use a maximum 7-speed semi-auto gear-boxes, plus reverse. [VT systems are not allowed and cars may have no more than two driven wheels. Transmissions may not feature traction control or devices that help the driver to hold the clutch at a specific point to aid takeoff. For safety reasons all cars must have a means of disengaging the clutch that is operable from out-side the cockpit by marshals. This control is usually situated just ahead of the cockpit opening and is marked on the car's body by a red letter 'N' within a white circle. BRAKES Fl cam must have two hydraulic brake circuits. front and rear Power brakes and anti-lock braking systems (ABS) are not allowed. Each wheel most have only one brake disc of 278mm max diameter and 28mm max thickness. Each disc must have only one aluminium caliper, with a max of six circular pistons, and only two brake pads. The size of the air ducts must not protrude beyond the wheels. The use of liquid to cool the brakes is forbidden. Sower Fonnuhotram • Jason Ton-hinsky, Jalopnik

As mídias sociais estão mudando seu cérebro para sempre

As redes sociais estão cada vez mais fazendo parte de nossas vidas. Cientistas acreditam que é inevitável que interagir nesses sites interferem na forma como nosso cérebro funciona, tanto individualmente quanto coletivamente.

De acordo com os pesquisadores, as mensagens curtas do Twitter, com até 140 caracteres, afetaram a forma como enviamos e recebemos informações. E nossa paciência para prestar atenção em algo ou mesmo assistir a vídeos online também está encurtando, ao mesmo tempo que muitos links do YouTube são compartilhados entre os internautas.

Não se pode culpar as redes sociais por todo o imediatismo do mundo atual, mas os estudos sobre o impacto desses canais são frequentes, e os pesquisadores querem entender a maneira como nossas mentes estão absorvendo essas mudanças.

O infográfico abaixo, produzido pela Assisted Living Today, direciona o olhar para isso. Cientistas afirmam que o cérebro está em constantes mudanças e adaptações, de acordo com as nossas experiências. Cinco horas diárias de internet já bastam para você sentir as consequências dessa mudança de vida.
