BBC Horizon (1981) - Gentlemen, lift your skirts. Williams F1 - Cosworth Tyrrell P34
BBC - Horizon - aired on TV 1981
Williams Formula One team Winter testing with Alan Jones driving in December 1980 at the Paul Ricard circuit in Southern France. The day before testing started Goodyear Tyres had decided to quit F1 due to the ban announced by the FIA on "skirts". The FIA being based in France were subjected to increasing pressure from the Goliath corporate car manufacturers Ferrari (Fiat) and Renualt to ban skirts as their engines were the wrong shape to fully capitalise the use of ground effect in the design of their cars. This was the year before the turbo revolution hit F1 and there is a brief look at the development of turbo.
Also features an in depth look at the Ford Cosworth engine and you are taken around the factory, design, hand building, performance and development of the engine.
Includes appearences from the following.
Frank Dernie (Head of Williams Research and Development) who currently works for the Toyota Formula One team. Frank explains the fundementals of ground effect and the importance of using skirts to achieve full potential.
Patrick Head and Frank Williams.
This is incredible footage documenting not just the Williams team but of the Cosworth engine
F1 Engines (v8 vs. v10)
Hey guys and gals! I decided to compile a video for your viewing pleasure comparing the sounds of a V8 and a V10 Ferrari F1 engine. I wanted to capture an onboard view of the drivers making their hotlaps to make the engine comparison more noticeable. The two drivers in the video are Kimi Raikkonen and Michael Schumacher.
HPF BMW Engine Build Project
Was given the opportunity to do a project for the Company where we portray how we are capable of building 1000 RWHP race engines. This is Part 3 of 4 total videos of this project. Please take the opportunity to watch all videos (its a little over 40 mins total of video!) to see my work and learn a little about engine builds hehe.
Shot with the T2i with the 50mm f1.8 lens. Had turn it up to f2.0 in most (if not all) the shots just because the Bokeh overpowered a lot of the scenes. Probably should of went higher in some scenes as well. Edited was done in FCP with a very minor color correction.
Music is by an Artist named Winkz. Thank you so much for allowing us to use your work and please support this guy. I will definitely be using more of his songs in future videos because they are simply great songs.

F1 End of the Turbo era HD1080
Formula 1 test in Hockenheim 1987. The end of the turbo-era. 1986 the engines had 1500 bhp. The most powerfull engines where build by BMW. There is nothing better than a turbocharged engine ;-) HD 1080. Sorry for the dust on the pictures. The originals are ok but the scanner makes it even worst. Don't know how to clean photos. Testtage in Hockenheim. Die turbo-Ära mit 1500 PS geht dem Ende zu. Alain Prost ließt die Sport Auto ;-) Tja, BMW hatte wohl die stärksten Motoren die die Formel 1 je gesehen hat. Über 1500 PS. Sind angeblich mit Flugbenzin aus dem 2. Weltkrieg erreicht worden. Literleistungen von über 1000 PS. Muß man sich mal vorstellen. Sorry für den Staub, die Originale sind ganz OK aber der Scanner macht es viel schlimmer. Weiß nicht wie man 20 Jahre alte Fotos reinigt. Pictures made by myself with a Minolta 7000
