strenuous sport, but there is much more involved than just twisting the throttle and turning the handlebars. There are a number of powerful forces working on the bike and the rider. There is, of course, the downward pull of gravity, friction between the tires and the track, and centrifugal force which acts to the outside of the turn. The key to cornering at high speeds is to perfect the lean angle of the motorcycle so that the force of gravity reaches equilibrium with the centrifugal force attempting to

The Development of Carbon Fibre in Formula 1. What is carbon fibre? Carbon fibre is an extremely strong material that is also super lightweight. The material has many uses in engineering and design, and this case study will discuss the advantages and disadvantages. McLaren first introduced carbon fibre into chassis construction of the MP4 in 1981. Apart from the cars engine, wheel rims and gearbox, all twenty-two Formula 1 cars that competed in the 2014 season bodies, are made of carbon fibre. [1]

classes and so the tires can be changed in between classes. The two most common types of tires are turf tires and lug tires. 14 HP tractors are usually pulled with both turf and lug tires. A turf tire has surrounding rows of chevron shaped tread blocks; these provide some traction on the track, without not digging up and damaging the turf (Lawn Tractor par. 7). Lug tires come in many tread sizes, the grips are different widths and lengths. The lug design on these tractor tires work to channel mud
