Victory at all costs: the world of motorsport.
What it takes to win in motor racing? Fast car, a good pilot and rich sponsors. But what to do when traditional methods do not work, and the opponents will still go faster? Then can help a couple of dozen liters of water, balls of lead or, for example, basketball ...

Water treatments
The eighties of the last century entered the history of Formula 1 as the perhaps the most scandalous. Take, for example, the season of 1982: the conflict between the Ferrari team-mate Gilles Villeneuve and Didier Pironi, strike teams and, consequently, a threat to the championship. Tricks teams Williams and Brabham against this backdrop seem childish pranks ...
While in the regulations would stipulate that the procedure for weighing after the finish of cars must pass a "tucked operational capacity" and the engineers of the glorious British teams devised a way to interpret the rule in its own way: at the start of the Brazilian Grand Prix cars Brabham and Williams came out with so called "brake cooling." Huge tanks before the start were filled with water, which in the course of arrival delivered through special channels to the brake discs. How effective is the system copes with its main function is not known, but its main advantage was different: for a couple of laps tank emptied, the machine becomes easy and, of course, more of the sand. Nelson Piquet of Brabham won the race, and Keke Rosberg in the Williams finished second.
During the arrival of their cars really weighed less than required by the regulations, but the technical commission they still held - for that mechanics had to do was to fill in the empty water storage tank having filled "operational capacity".
Formally, the rules had not been broken, but the protest filed by competitors, the organizers of the championship satisfied - a few weeks later, when the trial ended, Piquet and Rosberg were excluded from the final protocol, and the victory went to Alain Prost finished third from Renault.
Lead pellets
A similar thing happened in 1984. The cooling tank appeared on the car Tyrrell: reservoir with a capacity of about 13 liters was designed to "protect the motor from overheating." Machines equipped with such a system, the departure of half of the season, because even with the liquid drained from the tank car after the finish weighed as much as necessary, and a reason for disqualification Stewart was not.
The scandal came after the US Grand Prix in Detroit. Martin Brundle in the race finished second, losing quite a bit of Nelson Piquet - an amazing fact, taking into account the fact that Tyrrell at that time remained the only team that did not have turbo engine. This means that the engine is a BMW Brabham Piquet developed about 150 more horsepower than the old Cosworth car Brandl ...
Carefully examined the "cooling" tank after the finish, the technical commissioners found at the bottom of ... more lead pellets. Refueling in the season have been banned, but the pilots Tyrrell nevertheless regularly visited the pits - ostensibly to make up for the loss of water in the cooling system. There is a theory that during these pit stops with the water mechanics team "ran the" car and lead.
Thus, it becomes easier in the race due to fluid loss, the car go faster, and technical inspection after the finish helped pass a portion of the lead obtained during a pit stop for a few laps before the end of the race ...
However, the story in the end proved to be much more complicated. Irrefutable evidence of fraud has never been found. On the contrary, a number of facts set out in his defense Tyrrell suggests otherwise. For example, lead balls were found in Detroit and in the car co-pilot Stefan Bellof team, but during the race the German crashed his car and not having never to visit the pits ... And yet, in the end Tyrrell was found guilty of violating the rules. The team was expelled from all protocols and deprived of the season prize money. After the scandal once stable champions Ken Tyrrell was unable to rise from his knees.
Focus with a double bottom
Twenty years after the dark history with Tyrrell so strictly in Formula 1 is not punished any more teams - as long as for fraud was not disqualified its successor, the team BAR.
Disqualification team earned after the San Marino Grand Prix in 2005, where Jenson Button finished third. Stewards found in the fuel tank of the machine Briton additional hidden section of a capacity of 11 liters. At the primary inspection of fuel was drained only from the main compartment. Employee of the team confirmed that the fuel in the car is gone, weighting procedure was successful. The problems started when the FIA technical delegate Jo Bauer took an endoscope - a secret compartment was discovered and it was still splashing fuel. After it has been drained and the car has proved to be easier to position. With such a system the car during the race could weigh less than those of rivals for much of the race.
Fuel consumed of the two sections, but on the last pit stop the tank and pour enough fuel to finish, and to fill in a secret compartment.
Rumor Bauer came to check the car with an endoscope Button is not accidental: the FIA guessed that BAR does not play by the rules. It is possible, focus on double tank was coined in 2004, when the team has achieved the greatest success in its history, finishing second in the constructors' championship behind Ferrari. The punishment, however, was not very severe: BAR excluded from the protocol San Marino Grand Prix, as well as barred from the next two races.
Replacing
The history, which occurred in 1985 at WRC Rally of Côte d'Ivoire to Michelle Mouton, shrouded in mystery. It all started with the fact that the "Audi" the best rally racers of all time in this race there were some problems with the engine. Her decision to go to the next extra many seemed strange. As well as the fact that after her mechanic went on identical combat vehicle ...
The next checkpoint Mouton came with a huge delay, but ... serviceable car and has no support. The team explained this by the fact that a technical failure of her car had been due to damage to one of the cylinders as originally intended, but only the malfunction of the fuel pump. According to the official version directly to the dope in the car Mouton was rearranged pump with a car mechanic.
Rumor is, Mouton simply moved to another machine, and in order to trick seemed plausible, they moved the body panels as a mechanic with the original Audi Michelle spare.
Suspicions were so severe that race organizers have initiated checks, without waiting for the protests. Evidence of substitution has not been found, but the subsequent descent Mouton only added fuel to the fire. The decision to stop the race French explained that "the car began to fall apart." As noted by journalists, military Audi Michel before the rally in Africa has been further strengthened, in contrast to that of the machine where after the racer went mechanic ...
Bypass
The scandal surrounding the turbo rally Toyota Celica, 1995 was one of the largest in motor sport. The invention of Japanese engineers then-FIA president Max Mosley called the most cunning "for all 30 years", he worked in the motor sport.
The technical solution to provide an advantage over rivals Toyota, many called the piece of engineering. In the first place because the find was very difficult to catch. The engineers found a way to deliver more air to the turbine bypass restrictor: before the start, using a special tool mechanic pushes the puck five millimeters to the side, giving the air rises to the turbine through an annular gap. With this engine power was increased by about 50 horsepower - despite the fact that the statement does not exceed 300 forces.
It exploded, thanks to a special spring, the restrictor back to its original position and check did not cause suspicion among the commissioners - to push it without special tools it was very difficult.
Fraud was detected only in the penultimate stage of the season in Spain - by the time the team managed to assemble an impressive collection of cups. Toyota was disqualified, the results of the pilots, as shown during the championship, canceled. In addition, the plant stable banned racing over the next twelve months.
Buckshot
Regulations NASCAR is one of the most "right" of all motorsport championships - a set of rules does not allow teams to roam, and because of the characteristics of different car manufacturers are virtually identical. However, such a perfect regulation of the most popular American championship was not always so.
For example, in the 70s of the last century NASCAR cars had to pass weighting procedure before the start of the race. "Terms like forcing you to cheat," - said the three-time champion of the Premier Division Darrel Waltrip. The car had to be done as soon as possible more severe, and then quietly judges to reset ballast. Waltrip himself filled hollow tube safety cage with buckshot - small lead shot, and then, during the warm-up lap, with a special cord revealed a hidden hole, from which the balls, in the words of Waltrip, "accidentally" spilled on the road.
Procedure should be followed on the back straight - away from the eyes of the judges. Cheating was discovered when the shot fell down from Waltrip car in the pit lane. Opponents immediately drew attention to this the judges, and the rules have been adjusted.
The trick with the safety cage hunted and the legendary Tim Flock. The pilot, went down in NASCAR history because during the race held in the cabin of the car combat monkey, once installed on the machine ... the wooden frame of security, having painted it in the colors of metal.
Brilliant - just
Many efforts for the formation of the current NASCAR rules attached and Henry "Smokey" Janik. The legendary mechanic and engineer, who is known as one of the most talented designers in the history of NASCAR, sometimes exhibited at the start of the car that met the letter of the rules, but not their spirit.
Very often Yanik experimented with fuel system - after a few "extra" kilos of fuel in NASCAR can mean a lot.
In 1968, NASCAR regulations limit the amount of the fuel tank, but did not regulate lead to his neck ... why did Janik pipe length of three meters and a diameter of five centimeters - it housed nearly 20 liters of fuel!
Another of his "development" was no less brilliant in its simplicity. Yannick put in an ordinary tank cars basketball, which could inflate before passing inspection (then placed in a tank of fuel as much as was necessary under the rules), and blow off before the race, allowing the pit stops to pour more fuel.
