BMW Motorsport Director Mario Theissen divulges the crucial events in the recent Montreal race. He also gave hints on what is expected at the upcoming race in Indianapolis.

Asked about Robert Kubica’s crash in last Sunday’s race, Theissen said: “I was unable to judge the severity of the accident by the initial television pictures. Then seeing the first impact in the replay gave us all a huge shock. I was waiting on the pit wall watching the screens until the rescue work was completed and then went over to the Medical Center to see Robert. Having established that he had not suffered any serious injuries, I returned to the team to tell them the good news and followed the remainder of the race from the pit wall.”

Kubica was discharged from the hospital two days after the crash. The Pole intimated that he is ready to race at the U.S. Grand Prix. “It’s great that he feels ready to race and is not experiencing any after-effects from the accident. The Chief Medical Officer will have the final say after Robert has been examined in Indianapolis on Thursday. We are prepared in case Robert will not be able to drive. But, of course, we are all hoping that he will line up in the car at the weekend. The ideal scenario for me would be for us all to put the accident behind us quickly with a good performance in the race,” Theissen commented.

At present, BMW is inspecting what was left in Kubica’s car including BMW radiator fan and chassis. [Kubica's F1.07] chassis will be examined in Hinwil and we will try to understand as much as possible about the accident. However, the damage profile gives us information we can use to further refine our calculations and further improve monocoque construction in the future. At any rate, the damage to the F1.07-07 chassis is so severe that it will not be used again on the track. If it can be repaired at all we will use it on the test rig. If it is totally beyond repair, it will be scrapped.”

The Montreal race triggered debate on the efficiency of life-saving safety technology in Formula One cars and the possibility of transferring them to road vehicles. Theissen said, “The demands involved in series production are different from those in F1, as are the materials used. However, the aim is the same – to produce a durable passenger cell surrounded by crash elements which efficiently absorb impact energy. Everyday practicality, comfort and manufacturing costs all play a role in the production of road cars. In Formula One we do whatever is technically possible. The passenger cell and restraint systems are tailored to one person.”

He added, “In a series-produced vehicle, there are four, five or even more people on board. A road vehicle will generally be built from steel or aluminium, whereas an F1 monocoque is made of carbon fibre. While road vehicles have a crumple zone, the passenger cell of a formula racing car is surrounded by crash elements and designed to absorb the extreme forces generated by a collision. Formula One cars have to pass increasingly stringent FIA tests.”

Despite Kubica’s horrible crash, BMW Sauber has one thing to celebrate – Nick Heidfeld grabbing second place. Moreover, the victory pulled the team’s score upwards. “I’m really proud of this team. Nick certainly did not finish second by default. All the incidents in Sunday’s race took place behind him. That second place was his on merit – he was simply faster than one of the McLarens and both Ferraris.”

In this article I am going to discuss about something that is preferred by any kind of person, and mostly the car lovers. Excited? I mentioned ‘any person’ because every one desires to have a car of their own and for car lovers, sport cars are something they cannot afford to loose. It might that everyone do not have the ability to buy a same, but sport cars are loved by any person. Sport cars or highline cars can be defined in several ways like sexy, stylish, ultimate speed machine etc.

Basically, the production of sport cars started after 1945 because after that the economy graphs started rising higher. Not only the financial condition, there was a revolution on the technology and the roads were more developed to run the sport cars. While talking about highline cars, then there are two types of people; one part is much interested in the old classic models and another one prefers latest speed machines. It depends on your choice whether you are willing for a Mercedes Benz SLK 350 or the Ford Mustang V-8. While discussing on highline cars, you are able to get them both with performance and personality.

Actually, whenever we think of sport cars, these two things first come in our mind. Just feel about the look; chrome pipes and fittings, wide wheels to stick on the road, glossy panels made of wood, and most of all the aerodynamic technology that is used to make them speed giant. The look of highline cars or sport cars depends on the manufacturer or the band. Ford has their own style whereas, Mercedes or Porsche are totally different.

Some highline cars are light in weight and that is to increase the acceleration. You can also find sport cars with powerful engines that make handling easier and runs well on the road. Highline cars often come with engines placed in the middle and connected with the rear wheels. The engines are placed at the chassis and positioned behind the driver’s seat. Among all, Porsche seems to be the only company placing the engines on the rear position and allow rear wheels drive. Obviously speed is the ultimate thing for the highline cars, but the beauty seems to be something that makes highline cars outstanding.

While you are out with a Ferrari or a Porsche, you are abele to feel the difference of your own. It seems that they are created to beat the wind and take away every ones attraction. The power is hidden in the engines used to make them “sports car” and it is much capable of performing better than a normal car. In case you are interested in adventures, then you need not to climb up mountains or roam in a dense forest; try a sports car, you are able to feel the thrill. For number of drivers, it is a dream for them to drive a sports car at least for once. They happen to be the synonym of madness or wildness; so, are you ready for the thrill?
