Motorsport Vs the Reality |
Cars have come a long way since those vehicles with four wheels, as something is invented to replace such a horse, and then. Today, as technology, a large number of security features, luxury, fortunately for the passengers throughout the journey, not to mention the speed of travel, the technology today, people are not satisfied with the prospect of achieving a point A to point B in a car. Despite the increase in fuel prices and environmental concerns, motorsport has never lost its popularity as a primary means to demonstrate that vehicles can be tested, in the name of competition, engineering and entertainment .
However, there is always the question whether the success of the car on the way producers can succeed in building cars, it is first necessary. This is not the case, construction plant and for the masses is a simple task, such as the construction of an ideal race car capable of winning and tarmacs dirt roads everywhere. Or is it?
Take a look at the mother of all sports, for example. The three most successful designer of Ferrari, McLaren and Renault. While Ferrari has a great way to current vehicles, many of them is not to say that the 599s and 430s in honor of the city and the Beach Road reduced versions of monster machines, they have great titles in the F1, because God knows when. In addition, the very rich could afford the Ferrari are not all in the real world. While Mercedes is one of the best producers in the world, build roads beautiful cars right with McLaren, McLaren does Tuner and refineries in the United Kingdom, one of the Germans can do without the Mercedes McLaren decided that the participation of the previous year.
Renault welcomes history in general, a superb car for everyone, but many do not want a sophisticated product or a sports car for the average driver. Even in recent times, while the Laguna Coupé is one of the best examples of the french, as always, in the room was only a show, which causes pain in the eyes. French manufacturers, Citroen, is almost a dilemma, as a great success in the rally championship in the soil, but boring and equipment, is quite annoying registration is not reliable for the free market.
Perhaps a race car, and they are the only two things that are good together, as Honda found. In the super-success and confidence in the Japanese decided to F1, despite the fact that the mark in the automotive industry, simply because they recognized that it is only after the loss of investment. Another Japanese giant Honda is the only major Toyota, even though it has never shown any sign of danger in all the major manufacturers. It is clear that Ford has a better balance between the two worlds, is a name of religion in most major events in the world, while cars, according to each person in the world because of the diversity of businesses, but it will probably be a different story, if it in F1.
