  14. ACHIEVEMENTS 2004-2010Advanced Side Impact System

  15. Carbon discs, floating disc concept Developed in F1 – moving to road cars

  16. Computer Fluid Dynamics (“CFD”) (putting airflow into numbers)

  17. 1.Finessing flow 2. Flat underbody so key areas are ahead of front axle and behind rear 3. Generate extra load on tyres 4.Angle of diffuser 5. Rake of the car 6.Vertical “guides” maximise efficiency 7. Exhaust flow can increase diffuser efficiency. New rules 2014

  18. DRS – Drag Reduction System

  19. CFD • Previous main application was in aviation • Aviation has no ground effects and no rotating tyres • Auto industry saw little relevance – worried only about a little downforce and fuel economy • That is now changing

  20. Use of Composite Materials

  21. If it’s good enough to fly in ....

  22. Pushing the edge with composites – cost is still an issue (F1 banned lithium beryllium due to cost)

  23. Fuels and Lubricants • Compounds for power combined with efficiency • 1990s saw drive for “pure and clean” fuel - flow to road cars • Lubricants – “how thin can we get away with?” • Components have to last longer than ever (new regulations) • Major oil companies involved

  24. Motor Sport engineers – “Fast track” training Technologies • Many manufacturers use motor sport to train • Will spend 3 – 4 years in sport then transfer back to road cars • Not just about technology but about “winning time-line driven culture”

  25. 2014 F1 “Power Unit” Sustainability and motor sport

  26. Sustainability and motor sport Technologies 2014 F1 Power Unit Regulations • Target – to achieve comparable power output to 2013 ~750 bhp • Downsize ICE to 1600cc with rev limit 15,000 rpm • Turbo-charge ICE (pressure charging with sole single stage compressor) • Use integrated energy recovery system (new terminology for the sport) “ERS” where; • ERS = KERS + HERS • Now have two sources of energy recovery so two MGU – MGUH and MGUK • “Power unit” replaces the traditional “engine”

  27. ERS (Energy recovery system)MGU-H and MGU-K

  28. MGU-H (HERS)

  29. Electric “Turbo Compounding” • MGUH like MGUK is bi-directional • Used to overcome turbo lag

  30. MGU-K (KERS)

  31. Sustainability and motor sport Technologies F1’s 7 different energy journeys 1) Turbocharger: exhaust energy spins the turbine to spin the compressor and boost the pressure of the inlet charge, improving combustion efficiency.      2) Energy from MGU-K (working as a generator) - recovered from the rear axle under braking - to the battery for storage. 3) Energy to MGU-K (working as a motor) - electrical energy from the battery to the motor to improve car performance. 4)  Energy from MGU-H (working as a generator) - recovered as the excess energy from the exhaust stream that would otherwise be wasted - to the battery for storage. 5) Energy to MGU-H (working as a motor) - electrical energy from the battery to the motor to accelerate the turbocharger (and improve driveability). 6) Energy from MGU-H direct to MGU-K - direct compounding of recovered energy from the turbo directly to the rear axle without battery storage. 7) Energy from MGU-K direct to MGU-H - direct compounding of recovered energy from the rear axle directly to the turbocharger without battery storage.

  32. Outcome • Producing more power than 2.4 litre V8 of 2013 (using ICE V6 of 1.6 litres) ~ 750 BHP • ERS producing 161 BHP for 33.3 seconds per lap • 30% more power from every drop of fuel! • (Ultimately) must be reliable (5 engines/year)

  33. Lessons for the Industry? • Is the technology transferable? • YES – has been the case for decades • On the safety aspects, could we achieve “Formula Zero?” • Cost + Will to Regulate + Consumer “Wants and Needs”

  34. Thank you
