Aston Martin Sport Cars Green Vantage V12 Race Car

Aston Martin Sport Cars Green Vantage V12 Race Car
It's green - very. This is The Aston Martin Vantage V12 race car is Terrifying and impressive, a well-known brand car that turned into a speed monster, with a design that is really interesting and really cool to make this car really looks cool and amazing. That's not green as in the environmental sense either, as anything with 12 cylinders, a 6.0-litre capacity and 510bhp isn't going to please the tree huggers. The V12 Vantage looks every inch the racing car.

Fitted to the squat proportions of the Vantage the aero kit gives this V12 some serious presence. With its deep, punctured front wings, Plexiglas side screens and some serious looking brakes behind the alloy wheels equipped with track rubber, this V12 Vantage demands respect.
There's none of the twitchiness you might expect, the Aston Martin Sport Cars Green Vantage V12 Race Car feeling utterly planted and supremely composed. There's the small issue of manual gear changing, but when the gearbox is so delightfully crisp (and devoid of the ridiculously proportioned gear knob of the road car) and the pedals so perfectly positioned heel-and-toe downshifts are as easy as they come.

With entry speeds getting faster and faster, the speed this car can carry through the bends is immense. The track is damp, but the sticky wet race tyres reveal just how compromised even the best road tyres are. There's masses of grip, the traction too is incredible, so the Aston Martin Sport Cars Green Vantage V12 Race Car can use its prodigious power despite the conditions. It's all remarkably easy too, the aerodynamics adding to the Vantage's stability, even in slower speed corners.
The brakes are amazing; with every lap braking can be left later and pushed harder, the Vantage washing off its easily gained speed with zero fuss. Blipping the throttle while doing so and shifting down the manual 'box is a real pleasure, both physically and aurally as each flex of the foot has the V12 flaring up its revs with a glorious sound.

We always thought racing cars were edgy, tricky to drive monsters, but quite the reverse is true - indeed compared to the road version on the same track the racecar is an absolute cinch to drive fast. But then this is its natural habitat, yet the evolutionary process to allow it to work so well here is relatively straightforward. It never fails to amaze us how much additional performance can be gained by some tweaked suspension, lower weight, proper tyres and some clever aero kit. Aston Martin Sport Cars Green Vantage V12 Race Car is an impressive road car, but it's also an awesome racecar.

Indy Car Crash

Dan Wheldon, the 2005 IndyCar series champion, won the same year his first Indianapolis 500. In May he won the Indianapolis 500 for a second time but was not a regular driver in the series and was involved in a $5 million challenge for non-regular series drivers to win the final event. The British driver was killed Sunday when his car got caught up in a 15-car wreck, sailed over another vehicle and struck a catch fence 11 laps into the race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. With the speed — close to 225 mph during practice — and a crowded 34-car field, a big worry was aggressive driving early in the 200-lap race.
Dan Wheldon Indy Car Crash : Talented British Driver Perished at terrible accident
Chaos started when two cars touched tires and almost no one had time to react. Within seconds, several cars burst into flames and debris covered the track nearly halfway up the straightaway. Some points of impact were so devastating workers had to patch holes in the asphalt.Video replays showed Wheldon’s car turning over as it went airborne and sailed into what’s called the catch fence, which sits over a barrier designed to give a bit when cars make contact. Rescue workers were at Wheldon’s car quickly, some furiously waving for more help to get to the scene.
IndyCar had planned to hold a celebration for the 2011 season Monday night at Mandalay Bay Resort on the Las Vegas Strip.
One of the series’ most popular drivers, Dan Wheldon  has left behind a wife and two small children. IndyCar said information on a public memorial for Wheldon will be released at a later date.

Dan Wheldon Indy Car Crash : Talented British Driver Perished at terrible accident

Dan Wheldon was of the same generation as British drivers in Formula One, and in the lower series, he had a rivalry with Jenson Button, the driver for the McLaren Mercedes team who won the Japanese Grand Prix a week ago. He also raced against Anthony Davidson, who raced on and off in Formula One in recent years, and who works as a commentator on British television.
Lewis Hamilton, the British Formula One world champion who finished Korean Grand Prix in second place, paid tribute to Wheldon.
“This is an extremely sad day,” Hamilton said. “Dan was a racer I’d followed throughout my career, as I often followed in his footsteps as we climbed the motorsport ladder in the U.K.
“He was an extremely talented driver,” he added. “As a British guy, who not only went over to the States but who twice won the Indy 500, he was an inspirational guy, and someone that every racing driver looked up to with respect and admiration.”
Wheldon went to the United States to develop his career after it became too expensive to do so in Britain. In the United States, he raced in the lower series leading to IndyCar, such as the F2000 Championship Series, the Toyota Atlantic series and Indy Lights. He moved to IndyCar in 2002, and joined the Andretti Green Racing team in 2003. His victory in the Indianapolis 500 was the first by an Englishman since Graham Hill in 1966.
As the news of his death arrived, Formula One had just finished racing its 16th race of the season in Mokpo. Team people, friends, media who knew him, all spoke of Wheldon as they prepared to leave the Korean city.
The IndyCar series is similar to Formula One in its use of open wheel, single-seat cars, a kind of car most of the drivers raced from go-karts onwards. One difference between the two series is that Formula One races on no oval tracks, as do the IndyCars, and that in Formula One, each team designs and builds its own car according to a set of regulations, whereas the IndyCar teams buy chassis provided by chassis-building companies.

Indy Car & Formula Racing Crashes History

The last death in a Formula One car was that of Ayrton Senna, the triple world champion, at the San Marino Grand Prix in Imola in 1994. Another driver, Roland Ratzenberger, had died at the same event the previous day. Since then, Formula One has substantially improved safety in both car and track design. In the same period of time, the top level of U.S.-open -wheel racing has had several deaths and serious injuries, however, including Alex Zanardi’s amputation of both legs after an accident at a race in 2001, and the death of drivers like Jeff Krosnoff and Scott Brayton in 1996, Greg Moore in 1999 Tony Renna in testing in 2003, and Paul Dana in 2006.
At the Singapore Grand Prix last month, Jean Alesi, a former Formula One driver, announced that he would take part in the IndyCar series’ feature event, the Indianapolis 500 next year at the age of 47. When queried about the safety, he said it had improved vastly in the series, before he then added, “But whenever you are racing a car at more than 300 kilometers an hour it is dangerous.”
