LONDON – Volkswagen (VW) is ready to enliven the Formula One competition, as the engine supplier. However, a German manufacturer will begin the adventures at Formula 1 for the next 2012 season.

The resignation some manufacturers from Formula One this season, is one reason Volkswagen’s going to compete in F1 arena. Yes, in recent years, recorded three manufacturers have decided to resign. They are Honda, BMW and the last is Toyota.

With the introduction of regulations related to the use of the new power unit at the F1 event starting this season, W was ready to enliven F1 competition, as had to be rumored some time ago. Yes, a few years ago VW reportedly ready to buy Red Bull Racing and provide the machine for the team. Unfortunately, that rumors failed to be realized.

However, now the VW through its representative, Hans-Joachim Stuck said that his party was ready to become engine supplier F1 teams, began the season in 2012. This plan was to make F1 competition looks more attractive.

“If you feel as one of the largest manufacturers in the world, then, normally if you start thinking about F1. And the plan will be realized before 2012,” Stuck said as quoted by Autosport, Saturday (28/11/2009).

“We want to look for new innovations and F1 is the top of world of motorsport. Two years ago, there was talk that VW plans to buy F1 team Red Bull Racing, which unfortunately we failed to realize. Now, we wonder why we focused on a team if we are able to provide the engine for some teams?, “he added.

“Now, we have an incredible opportunity. F1 has been running in the right direction. Many other manufacturers have fled, and we thought it would be a good deal,” he added.

Using a Database in Racing – A Look at Formula One Telemetry Software

Racing teams have been making use of unique database designs for a number of years to improve their speed, performance and accuracy.

Some programs are used to reduce the amount of time that it takes to get the design from the drawing board to the race track. Others are used to calculate the fastest potential lap time of a specific vehicle and ensure that the care is properly tuned. Formula One telemetry software, for example, is used for those and other purposes.

The electronic systems are able to collect and interpret a vast amount of data from each race. Some of the data collected includes information about the temperature of the tires and the engine, the speed of the wheels and the performance or displacement of the suspension.

Teams often make acceleration speeds the focus of their database, but, as you can see, there are many other things to consider. If your business is racing, you need to consider every aspect of the business, from design to production. Reliability of the cars and the safety of your drivers should major considerations, as well.

Formula One telemetry software allowed teams to change engine mapping and deactivate specific sensors from the pits, while the cars were on the track. The technology was referred to as “two way” telemetry and was banned by the FIA in 2003, but the technology still exists and may find its way back onto the racetrack. If you own a team, it’s a good idea to keep your database updated in anticipation that the technology will eventually be used again.

The right programs can help you evaluate how talented your drivers actually are. If your drivers cannot make the potential lap times that the engineers say are possible, then you may need a new team.

The ultimate goal is to win, because that’s where your profits come from. By using available electronics to evaluate the reliability of your vehicles, you can avoid expensive accidents and further increase your profits.

Formula One telemetry software of the “two-way” type developed out of the older TAG technology, which was used in the early nineties. Then, as it is today, the main element that made everything work was the accuracy of the data collected during the testing and the races.

So, basically, it is the accuracy of your database that is most important. If you aren’t taking advantage of the latest technology, you aren’t winning as many races as other teams that are.
