Auto Racing

If there is a tie, the driver that has won the most races in the year is named the champion.

If there is a tie for number of wins, the driver with the most second place finishes is named the champion.

If there is a tie for wins and number of second place finishes, the driver with the most third place finishes is named the champion.

The tie breaker rules work their way down the finishing order until the tie is broken.

Going into the final race of the 2010 F1 season, Fernando Alonzo has 5 wins and 246 points, Mark Webber has 4 wins and 238 points, and Sebastian Vettel has 4 wins and 231 points. Incredibly, it is possible that all three drivers could be tied after the final race in Abu Dhabi.

For example ...

If Alonzo finishes 5th and gets 10 points, Webber finishes 2nd and gets 18 points, and Vettel wins and gets 25 points, all three drivers would end the season with 256 points.

The first tie breaker would be number of wins. Alonzo and Vettel would have 5 wins and Webber would have 4 wins so Webber would be eliminated and Alonzo and Vettel would still be tied.

The second tie breaker would be number of second place finishes. Alonzo and Vettel both would have 2 second place finishes so they would still be tied.

The third tie breaker would be number of third place finishes. Alonzo and Vettel would both have 3 third place finishes so they would still be tied.

The fourth tie breaker would be number of fourth place finishes. Alonzo would have 2 fourth place finishes and Vettel would have 3 fourth place finishes. Alonzo would be eliminated and Vettel would be named world champion.

It means that you are about to be lapped and need to let the faster car overtake. If a driver fails to let the car pass after three blue flags he is likely to be penalized.

They are also shown at the end of the pitlane if a car is approaching on the track, so that the driver exiting the pits knows to be careful.

To become a formular 1 racer: the first thing you can do is to start goin go-karting every now and then and if you enjoy this you can try to start woking on a formular 1 race track even if its only giving out tickets or cleaning cars. Try to hang out with the race car drives and ask them lots of questions about racing. Then try and go to a racing school for about 3 days. this will look good to other drives. when ever you can get behind the wheel of a car, even if its only a street car. your boss should see what you can do. Just try to hang out with drives and ask them loads of questions about racing. thank you. By Chapman

Michael Schumacher has won the most number of F1 races. He was an active racer for 16 yrs (1991 to 2006). He has started a total of 248 races and won a total of 91 out of them. This is the most by an individual driver in terms of victories. Also he has 7 world championships. ( 1994, 95 & 2000 to 2004) Apart from this he has 154 podium finishes, 68 pole positions and 76 fastest laps in his career.

The first Formula 1 World Championship was held in 1950and it consisted of seven races ( British, Monaco, Indianapolis 500, Swiss, Belgian, French and Italian).

The cars are constructed from composites of carbon fibre and similar ultra-lightweight (and expensive to manufacture) materials. The minimum weight permissible is 605 kg (1334 lb) including the driver, fluids and on-board cameras. However, all F1 cars weigh significantly less than this (some as little as 440 kg ) so teams add ballast to the cars to bring them up to the minimum legal weight. The advantage of using ballast is that it can be placed anywhere in the car to provide ideal weight distribution.

Every track but Daytona, Bristol, Richmond, Chicago, Phoenix, Charlotte, Darlington, and Auto Club Speedway (California).

to answer the question, What is the attendance at Watkins GLen, simply go there on a summer day. Depending on the weather, and the race, you can find from many thousands of people to a handful. Check out the website at http://www.theglen.com/

Michael has won the British grand prix once during the year 1998 and then once in 2002 and once in 2004. He has finished 2nd twice in 2001 & 2006 and 3rd once in 2000. He has retired from the british grand prix many times. He was even disqualified in the year 1994 for failing to serve a stop-go penalty (for overtaking Hill on the warm-up lap) in time.

On super speedways, they can reach speeds of 200 miles per hour. They are slower on short tracks.

Today, the fastest they can go is 202 mph.

Currently with the restrictor plate carbs, they can go about 190, at tracks like Talladega and Daytona. Which they are tracks where you run wide open all the way around and is too fast for safety. Other tracks such as California (Auto Club Speedway) and Atlanta Motor Speedway they run about 200-205 mph.

A Nascar car can usually get up to about 200 miles per hour on a large track. However though, there is a thing called a restrictor plate that makes a Nascar car slow down. They use restrictor plates strictly as a safety matter so the car does not get thrown into the air because of all the air. So I guess it really depends on what kind of car, what kind of track and what the rules are on the race track.

The Sprint Cup Series is made of 43 competitors and 36 races. After the 26th race the top twelve cars move on to the compete in the last ten. That totals to 1,238 individual races. Cars can change their tires about four times per race. That is sixteen tires times 1,238 races adding up to a whooping 19,808 tires. That is just for the Sprint Cup.

There are many kinds of tires because there are many kinds of race cars and conditions. Nascar (Cup, Nationwide, Trucks) use Goodyear slicks that have many different compounds for different tracks and differing temperatures. One compound is used by all competitors which allegedly puts everyone on an equal footing, although some teams are more equal than others.

Drag racing vehicles (dragsters and funny cars) use big "wrinkle wall"slicks in the rear and skinny tires up front. Other classes are required to use street tires or "DOT slicks" which are street legal tires that come very close to slicks but still retain some sort of tread pattern.

Formula One cars use slicks for dry condition and grooved "rain tires" for (obviously) rainy conditions. This holds true for the "upper division" series like Indy cars, Le Mans and American Le Mans series as well as Grand Am in the States and touring car series in other parts of the world.

Dirt track cars use rear tires that are generally a blend of slicks and rain tires. They're generally very soft and wear quickly.

Land Speed Racing vehicles (Bonneville Salt Flats) use skinny tires to reduce rolling and wind resistance. Many classes use front tires made for dragsters. Other high speed classes use specially-constructed tires to withstand the forces applied to them at speeds over 300 mph (480 kph.)

Brands and manufacturers vary widely from one series to another. Goodyear, Firestone, Hankook, McCreary, Hoosier, Dunlop, Michelin and more make race tires, some of which are mandatory in a class and some series allow tire brand competition.

Another name for a race car is hotrod. I hope this helps.

The track for the NASCAR races is a 2.5 mile tri-oval. It also can be configured to a 3.65 mile track (which would include right hand turns) and a 2.95 motorcycle course (again, with right hand turns). The area enclosed by the track is a 180 acres including a 29 acre lake, which itself has hosted boat races.

Larry Dixon was top fuel dragster champion in 2010, finishing the year with 2684 points. He beat 2009 champion Tony Schumacher by 102 points. Dixon won 12 races in 2010, including 3 in the Countdown to the Championship

The word Formula One applies to a specific category of four-wheeler motor racing and does not denote motor racing in general. The word "formula" signifies that there are a set of regulations, put in place by a regulating body (which in this case is the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile), that the competing teams have to abide by to be eligible to race in the category. "One" simply lets us know that this particular motor racing category is at the top most level in terms of technology among other things.
