The world of racing
The most popular are "royal race" on the Formula 1 cars that reach speeds of up to 300 kilometers per hour. Races are held on specially prepared tracks. Bets are made, of course, entertainment - you're unlikely to forget the day when I visited the stadium near the race track and see first hand how lightning sweep past you race cars.
Motor sport and race on the Formula 1 are considered gambling sport, despite the fact that the bookmakers are more willing to take bets on football and basketball matches. The winner in the race is difficult to determine until the very last lap, and sometimes even have to use the exact equipment, because the bill goes to the thousandths of a second.
During one race car driver loses an average of two and a half kilograms of weight, as for the race, it is required to limit concentration, attention and reaction speed.
Formula 1 racing car is designed so that at a rate slightly higher than 150 kilometers per hour, it can theoretically drive even on the ceiling by the action of the pressing force.
It's amazing how big the potential and possibilities of a racing car. At a speed of 200 kilometers per hour, the pilot can fully stop the car for a little over 50 meters. For all time race driver switches the transmission of more than three thousand times. Drivers of other cars shift gears a little less - about two and a half thousands of times per race.
Particular attention is paid to the safety of the pilot. Despite the fact that the track is fenced with special bumpers and mounds of gravel and sand at high speeds injuries in a collision can not be avoided. Special security and independent belts to help the pilot to not only survive but to get out of the car even when a terrible accident. However, no cost and without tragic consequences.
