F1 Motorsport

The crankcase and cylinder block must be constructed of cast or wrought aluminium alloys. Composite materials should be avoided.

After around 500 kilometres, a Formula One engine must be overhauled. Why? Because producing all that power necessitates the engine running at screaming fast revolution rates – approximately 19,000 revolutions per minute. Running an engine at such high RPMs generates a lot of heat and puts a lot of strain on the moving parts.

Carbon fibre composites, first utilized by the McLaren F1 Team in 1980, are now widely employed in numerous F1 components, accounting for about 85% of the volume of a typical F1 vehicle.

The Quickgrind Fusion range of tools is uniquely suited for the precise needs of these challenging materials and parts.

The tethers are housed within a separate suspension component and have their own end attachments. Regulations require that the tethers have a particular tensile strength to prevent the wheels from falling away from the automobile in the event of suspension failure or an accident.
