The Mercedes-Benz 190E Cosworth. Mercedes-Benz's collaboration with Cosworth birthed one of the most iconic cars of its era: the Mercedes-Benz 190E Cosworth. Developed for Group A touring car racing it had a lively 2.3-liter inline-four engine built by Cosworth, with a full 16 valves and dual overhead camshafts. With 185 horsepower under the bonnet, it packed a serious punch for its day. But it wasn't just about raw power; the 190E Cosworth was engineered with enhanced suspension, brakes, and aerodynamics this gave it fantastic handling on both track and road. The success of the 190E 2.3-16 in motorsport, mainly in DTM racing, helped to cement its reputation as an icon of the era and with a combination of luxury, performance, and motorsport heritage why wouldn't you love this 80's legend #MercedesBenz #Cosworth #AutomotiveHistory #ClassicCars

It's a bit tricky to explain what Understeer and Oversteer are and how to deal with it on the road or track. And also how to steer the car with the Throttle--An Awesome Technique. I wrote this for a Moto X Racer who is looking to get into racing cars. I deleted his name for anonymity. "Here is a bit of headstart. We'll get more into this on SKYPE. This has to do with Understeer and Oversteer. And how we can steer the car with the throttle in a corner, but without changing the position of steering wheel from where we have it set. Understeer or Oversteer are usually present during our initial turn into a corner. As we are transitioning from traveling straight ahead into our corner. Understeer basically means that the car turns in less than it ordinarily might. Oversteer is the opposite. It turns aggressively. And back of the car might even come around and we could spin. I'm sure you experience Oversteer all the time in Moto. You light up the rear tire in a corner and the bike can almost spin on its own axis. You may have done that in a car in the snow doing donuts. Drifters do this to. This is Power Oversteer and with proper "EYE TECHNIQUE" it is fairly easy to control. But different than how we steer the car using Oversteer in a racing situation. And we'll get into why this is so later. FYI All street cars Understeer. They are built at the factory to do that. Even High Performance Cars all Understeer. I've never driven a HyperCar but if it's Street Legal it has have a touch of Understeer. More on why later. Neutral Steer exists but usually Only as a function of our understanding and expertise in how to balance the car with the throttle. BTW when we talk about balance it's weight distribution front to rear. Throttle Steering: now as we are in our imaginary turn, and we are holding the steering wheel steady as we corner. If the car starts to turn less that it was--we come off the throttle a bit. That transfers more weight onto the front tires and so the car starts to turn more sharply. The more weight a tire has on it the better it grips. VIP: We must be very cautious in how we come off the throttle in a corner. Typically we would blip the throttle (lift off and then quickly squeeze it back on) or use multiple blips. The reason is in a corner it is the throttle that is keeping the rear of the car glued to the pavement--therefore lifting off of throttle will likely cause a spin. To correct Oversteer in our same imaginary corner, we add throttle. That takes some weight Off of the front tires making them turn less. This is an overview. And there is much more to wrap our heads around. We'll get there. Please let me know if you have any questions about this" https://lnkd.in/eEncFd4R

Formula E has just rounded out its 10th season. I've reviewed the sport’s history to see how far we’ve come. 2014-17 The Gen1 Cars had 250 horsepower that drove the rear wheels to 60 mph in 3 seconds, on the way to a top speed of 140 mph. In this era, mid-race car swaps were compulsory, as the batteries didn’t have the capacity for full race distance. The first four champions were Piquet Jr., Buemi, Di Grassi and VERGNE. 2018-21 Formula E’s Gen2 cars had 250 kW of power, an increase of 50 kW over Gen1 and a top speed of 174 mph. Their batteries doubled the range while also being lighter than their predecessors, meaning Gen2 was two seconds a lap faster than Gen 1. 2018 introduced Attack Mode, where drivers could give themselves time-limited power boosts at the cost of losing the optimum racing line. Vergne went back-to-back, being the only driver in Formula E history to successfully defend his title, followed by da Costa, De Vries and Vandoorne. 2022-25 Gen3 Formula E cars had variable power levels, delivering 350 kW in qualifying and 300 kW in the race. Top speeds could now exceed 200 mph thanks to the powertrains supplying both front and rear axles. Hankook Tire was introduced as the official tyre supplier, sporting sustainable all-weather rubber and Jake Dennis and Pascal Wehrlein brought home the silverware, both running Porsche powertrains. 2026 The Gen4 era is expected from 2026 and development is already underway. Predictions suggest the cars will be capable of 600 kW and over 800 bhp The progression of Formula E is nothing to scoff at. It’s grabbed the world's attention with its wheel-to-wheel racing taking place in major cities like Berlin, Tokyo and London. Plus, all but two Formula E champions are former F1 drivers, so athletes at the peak of motorsport recognise the positive strides of all-electric racing. Do you watch Formula E and have you enjoyed seeing it bloom over this last decade? #Copywriting #Motorsport #FormulaE #Formula1 #Freelance Photo credit: Autosport International
