Surprisingly it's closed to the ordinary commercial petrol available but with a tightly controlled mix.

It was not always so. Early Grand Prix cars ran on a fierce mixture of powerful chemicals and additives, often featuring large quantities of benzene, alcohol and aviation fuel. Indeed some early fuels were so potent that the car's engine had to be disassembled and washed in ordinary petrol at the end of the race to prevent the mixture from corroding it!

Ralf Schumacher made his formula one debut in the 1997 season for the Jordan F1 Team. He had 180 starts in his f1 career which spanned 10 years. Of this, he won a total of 6 races and finished on the podium 27 times. He also amassed 329 career championship points in f1.

The usual monster truck tire weighs in around 800lbs to 900lbs.

This doesn't give you the general weight of Monster truck tires, but its an interesting fact, Big Foot's # 5 has tires that weigh 2400lbs each. (A one off promotional truck)

It started in Dawsonville, GA. It was back in prohibition days when the bootleggers made moon shine and raced there cars to make the deliveries.

They are not chosen, if someone wants to create a team, needs to have a minimum budget established, talk with FIA and Bernie Ecclestone, needs to have their own plant and for new regulations to build their own chassis and for the engine, they can choose from hire another team as their suppliers or build their own. It is a really though and complicated proccess in terms of money and regulations. If they succeed and are accepted, they will receive money each race from F1 organizers, not a considerable amount for the money they really need to be in constant development.

If your question was referred to the team drivers. They are chosen by team managers, and normally for drivers who have succeed in minor categories with excellent results or political issues as an example some Japanese drivers who are there because of Toyota or Honda.

these figures are have now dropped since the the 2006 ruling making all engines 2.4 litre V8s, reducing the BHP by about 20% from the figures quoted in the previous edit of approx 1000bhp.

Tim Richmond drove that car, until he was no longer eligible to race, due to

a medical condition that he later succumbed to in 1989.. He was a very gifted driver..

He missed the beginning of the season (he claimed pneumonia), and Benny Parsons came in to sub..

Later, when he returned there were accusations of drug abuse, that turned out to be

over the counter cold remedies..

This led to the embarrassing discovery that Richmond had the HIV virus.. Richmond had AIDs..

The Talladega Superspeedway is in Lincoln, Alabama.

Ralph Earnhardt's first Nascar race was on November 11, 1956. It was the Buddy Shuman 250 at Hickory Speedway.

You should shift to keep the engine RPMS as close to max horsepower output as possible. I.E. If your car has a redline of 8,000rpm and makes 250hp max at 7,200rpm. If you have gears that make a 1000rpm difference between each shift and you had a completely smooth powerband, then you would shift at 7,700rpm, because any higher and the engine is producing less power than the next gear would provide. Hope that helped, its a hard subject to explain without physically showing you on a dyno.

There is not one Director of the Formula One broadcast for every race. There is a different Director for every race, and the Director is from the country Formula One is racing in that week. You might notice while watching the race in Japan, the Director might have a camera show the Japanese driver much more than normal. A race in Brazil, that Director seems to show the Brazilian drivers more than other races. The Director's seem to favor showing the drivers from their home country.

Try putting in neutral at the time and see if it makes a difference. I had a similar problem w/1991 Lincoln and found that it was a recall from Ford. When brakes got warm they would apply, due to defective master cylinder

the engine has pistons when they put gas in it the pistons move up and Dow causing tiny explosions that make the car move and releases carbon monoxide gas that burn the ozone layer

The word collected in Nascar usually refers to the cars that were collected in an accident. For example, When Jimmie Johnson hit the wall and came down the track, he also collected Jeff Gordon and Dale Jr. in the wreck.

Despite being a leading manufacturer of farm equipment and accessories, John Deere doesn't have a long history of sponsorship with NASCAR. The only driver who actually drove in a John Deere-sponsored car in NASCAR's premier series full time is Chad Little, who drove #23/97 from 1997-2000. Kurt Busch drove a few races in the #97 John Deere Ford at the end of the 2000 season.

McLaren. The only team he has driven for in F1 since he started in 2007.

Through race #23 of the 2011 season, Kyle Busch is leading the points, followed by Jimmie Johnson, Carl Edwards and Kevin Harvick.

No, John Paul Sr. is still alive.

If you are a past Nascar champion you can get into the race... even if you are the 44th fastest car. They would just tell the 43 fastest to go home.

It is an attempt to finish the race under green flag conditions. If the race ends under caution, they will give the green, then the white flag to signigy one lap, then the checker. Only 3 attempts are made at this, and if a car takes the white flag, one to go, that constitutes a finish.
