The document introduces motorsport, explaining its definition, categories, and the roles of various organizations involved, such as the FIA and national associations. It covers essential knowledge for motorsports trainees, including safety precautions, the importance of pit stops, race tracks design, competition licenses, and necessary equipment for participant safety. Additionally, it discusses technical upgrades required for vehicles to enhance performance and safety in competitions.
Introduction of Motorsport / Auto Racing
- 1. Topic: Introduction of Motorsport Prepared by : MOHD IFDANI BIN ABD GHAFAR (SENIOR TECHNICAL INSTUCTOR) i. Basic Knowledges of Motorsports ii. Preparation of Motorsports
- 2. Trainee will able to know about: • Basic Knowledges of Motorsport - Definition of motorsport. - Motorsport categories – Racing/Non Racing - Motorsport association (MAM/AAM/FIA/FIM) • Preparation of Motorsports - Safety precaution & PPE for motorsports - Basic technical and guideline in motorsports. - Basic Preparation for competition purposes.
- 3. Defination of Motorsport WHAT IS MOTORSPORT? Motorsport or motorsports is the group of competitive events which primarily involve the use of motorized vehicles, whether for racing or non-racing competition.
- 4. MOTORSPORT CATEGORIES Circuit Race Car Rally Drift Go Kart MotorcycleDrag
- 6. Racing • Motor sports which involve competitors racing against each other include
- 7. Non-Racing • Forms of motorsport which do not involve racing include drifting, regularity rally, motorcycle trials, gymkhana & Freestyle Motocross. • Usually got Professional Judges will be judge the points.
- 8. Pit Stop • In motorsports, a pit stop is where a racing vehicle stops in the pits during a race for refuelling, new tyres, repairs, mechanical adjustments, a driver change, as a penalty, or any combination of the above.
- 9. Pit Crew • The pits usually comprise a pit lane which runs parallel to the start/finish straight and is connected at each end to the main track, and a row of garages (usually one per team) outside which the work is done. • Pit stop work is carried out by anywhere from two to twenty mechanics (also called a "pit crew"), depending on the series regulations
- 11. Race Track / Circuit • Facility built for racing of vehicles. A race track also may feature grandstands, concourses and paddock. • Some motorsport tracks are called speedways. • Allowing races to occur over several laps. • Racetracks designed for competition through speed, featuring defined start-finish lines or posts. • Most racetracks with many curves and chicanes to allow for a challenge in skill to the competitors.
- 12. Race Track Design • Chicanes• Curves
- 13. Racing Circuit in Malaysia
- 14. Racing Line The racing line is the route a racing driver follows in order to take corners in the fastest possible way. Why we need racing line? By using all of the available space on the track, cars can travel in a straighter line and travel faster before reaching the limits of grip.
- 15. Full Track Racing Line
- 16. Race Marshall • Marshals are also known as course workers, corner workers, corner crews, turn marshals, corner marshals, track safety workers, or other equivalents around the world.
- 17. Race Marshall Flags Racing flags are traditionally used in auto racing and similar motorsports to indicate track condition and to communicate important messages to drivers.
- 18. Official Motorsport Organization INTERNATIONAL FIA Institute • The FIA Institute is an international not-for-profit organization that develops and improves motor sport safety and sustainability. • Encourage the rapid development of new and improved : Safety technologies Facilitate Education and training Awareness of safety Sustainability issues
- 19. Official Motorsport Organization NATIONAL LEVEL AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION OF MALAYSIA (AAM) having been delegated powers to control the sport Automobilism by the FIA & FIM in Malaysia. MOTORSPORTS ASSOCIATION OF MALAYSIA ("MAM") has been established for the purpose of developing and growing motor sport in Malaysia.
- 20. Competition Licence • You are entitled to compete in any national competition organised or approved by MAM or Automobile Association of Malaysia (AAM) if you hold a valid competition licence. To be a competitor you will need to register and submit your particulars to MAM in order to obtain a licence.
- 21. CAUTION!!!!!! “ MOTORSPORT MAYBE DANGEROUS” • Safety First • Follow Rules & Regulations • Wear a proper & suitable protection • Well prepare & discipline • Be alert & responsible
- 22. Motorsport Wear & Equipments ( Safety Protection ) Driver Wear Rider Wear Flame resistance Easy to move Leather Suit Hard protector Limited move All racing wear should have approval from FIA & FIM. FIA Approval
- 23. SAFETY EQUIPMENTS Front Safety Clips Fire ExtinghusierSupply Cut Off Switch Safety NetRear Safety Clips Safety Harness
- 24. Function of Safety Equipments Equipment Function Front Safety Clips Keep the hood buttoned down in the event the main latch should fail - preventing the hood panel from flying open at speed. Rear Safety Clips Keep the rear trunk buttoned down and preventing the trunk from pop-up if the latch fail or hit from back side. Safety Net Keep the things or driver in the car safe from flying out when the car roll over. Fire Extinguisher A part of racing requirement as fire preventive equipment. Supply Cut Off Switch To cut power supply immediately when emergency situation. Safety Harness A safety harness is a form of protective equipment designed to protect a person.
- 25. Points need to be upgrade Rims & Tyre Suspension Brakes Engine & Transmission Chassis
- 27. Upgrade your tires to make sure this new power can make it to the ground without unnecessary wheel spin and over, under or torque steer. You will most likely need: Sticky tires that will last at least 1,000 miles. New bushings for your control arms. New ball joints Stiffer shocks with shorter coils Tire & Traction
- 28. Upgrade to Teflon Bush
- 30. Semi Slick Tire TOYO PROXES R888
- 31. Tire Selection Sport Type Semi Slick Type Fully Slick Type
- 32. Improve grip on road surface: • Change to good/better tyre traction and threadware (Sport tire/Slick tire) • Wheel Alignment adjustment for better handling.(Toe,Camber,Caster) • Rims size and tyre width.
- 33. Chassis & Handling Upgrade • A chassis consists of an internal framework that supports a man-made object in its construction and use. • An example of a chassis is the underpart of a motor vehicle, consisting of the frame (on which the body is mounted) with the wheels and machinery.
- 34. Any good chassis must do several things: • Be structurally sound in every way over the expected life of the vehicle and beyond. This means nothing will ever break under normal conditions. • Maintain the suspension mounting locations so that handling is safe and consistent under high cornering and bump loads. • Support the body panels and other passenger components so that everything feels solid and has a long, reliable life.. • Protect the occupants from external intrusion.
- 35. Chassis Design
- 36. Body Strengthen & Lighten • Chassis reinforcement/ body rigidity modification isn't something that should be performed without careful thought. • It all depends on different car models and their structure. • Each car has a weakness and to pin point that is the key. This guide will show you the best chassis reinforcement for you car and specification.
