In Driveshaft 102 (Jan. '08), we discussed the basics of measuring the driveshaft and inspecting it for damage. Now let's discuss the concept of driveshaft management and how we can apply...

May 25, 2021 · What is a driveshaft hub and how was it affected in Leclerc crash? Charles Leclerc's crash during Formula 1's Monaco qualifying session, which Ferrari now believes caused the broken...

In this video, I’m going to take a look at what’s inside this Formula One gearbox and explain a little bit about how it works. Today, I’m in the workshop of Mansell Motorsport who restore and look after many Formula One cars from the mid-’90s to the mid-2000s.

Feb 13, 2015 · Modern formula 1 cars use highly automated sequential gearbox system which allows them to shift seamlessly with ease. The steering wheel on a F1 car has two gear levers, one for the upshift...

Dec 5, 2021 · But a menacingly fast engine is nothing without a transmission, a gearbox to supply torque to the drive shaft. Hence, gearboxes in F1 cars are incredibly important, and quite expensive. So expensive that you could buy about five …

Mar 2, 2007 · Details such as the drive shaft position and angle are crucial. (a blacked out, censored statement follows) This information would make it possible to understand how McLaren has positioned the key components and achieved a certain weight distribution.

Drive shafts are carriers of torque: they are subject to torsion and shear stress, equivalent to the difference between the input torque and the load. They must therefore be strong enough to bear the stress, whilst avoiding too much additional weight as that would in turn increase their inertia.

An overview of a Formula One car's transmission and how the systems evolved during the year. It explores the subject of torque-steer differential systems, and other technologies such as Benetton’s short-lived FTT system.

Feb 14, 2018 · The aerodynamic shroud covering the drive shaft is carbon fiber but the shaft itself is steel. Plenty of components aren't made of CF. Radiators, Fasteners, Uprights, hubs, Brake calipers, steering rack & column, wheels, wheels nuts …

Apr 1, 2023 · A drive shaft is just a round bar or hollow tube with some splines at the ends for the tripod joins. Plus, 3D printing still has some way to go in the area of material microstructure and, therefore, material properties like fatigue strength and fracture toughness.
