Pirelli's new F1 tyre plan for 2025 set to address overheating problems: As F1 teams have fully understood the new ground-effect regulations, they have found ways to increase the downforce and better manipulate outwash to improve their performance.But one of the consequences of this is that it is getting much harder for drivers to follow each other, and that means tyres can overheat quickly if cars start sliding in the dirty air of a rival.This is believed to have been ...Keep reading #motorsports #racing #cars

#Didyouknowtuesday that both BSA (Birmingham Small Arms Company) and Triumph motorcycles clinched victories at Daytona in the 1970s? Triumph, especially, left an indelible mark with notable wins in the prestigious Daytona 200. In 1971, Triumph made headlines by securing the Daytona 200 victory, with the legendary Dick Mann riding a Triumph Daytona 500. This triumph not only showcased Triumph's racing prowess but also solidified its position as a powerhouse in motorcycle racing during that era. But there's more to this story than just thrilling victories on the track. Metallisation had a pivotal role in enhancing the performance of these iconic motorcycles. Partnering with a leading brake manufacturer, we embarked on a ground-breaking collaboration to revolutionise heat conductivity and wear resistance on these special racing brakes. Together, we transformed the conventional aluminium alloy into a special pseudo alloy Arcsprayed coating, perfectly tailored to meet the demanding requirements of high-performance racing. This innovative solution not only contributed to the success of BSA and Triumph at Daytona but also set new standards in the world of motorcycle engineering. It's a testament to the power of collaboration and innovation driving excellence in every aspect of the racing world. As we celebrate the triumphs (excuse the pun) of the past, let's also look forward to future milestones, where creativity and teamwork continue to propel us toward greater achievements. 🌟 #BSA #Triumph #Daytona #MotorcycleRacing #Innovation #Collaboration #Metallisation #EngineeringExcellence #Metallisation #thermalspray #arcspray

Why Pirelli’s F1 development challenge never ends: The company not only has to hone its tyres for cars that each year generate more load and produce faster lap times, but it also has to prepare for and adapt to any upcoming rule changes.Last year for example Pirelli had a focus on developing tyres to run without blankets in 2024, only for the planned change to be abandoned.And that in turn has had a major impact on this season. Usually Pirelli ...Keep reading #motorsports #racing #cars
