Historic race parts, future technologies
Friday, 30, October, 2015
A meeting with Milano Racing president Patrick Canavese held last Thursday 29 October in Marseille (France). During the meeting some results of current advanced research on new materials and processes running in TEKS and D4S Motorsport have been presented by Dr. Eng. Sergio Durante to the executives of the French company.
Milano Racing is the famous company operating in the sector of the historic Motorsport. They are the official Abarth brand extension outside of Italy and worldwide known because of the preparation of the fabulous Lancia and Fiat rally cars of the past, like the Stratos, the 131 Abarth, the 037, the Delta S4, the Delta Integrale.
The meeting went into the details of the extension of the current collaboration to new and fundamental race parts of the body, the powertrain, the brakes and the steering systems.
The agreement will bring TEKS and D4S Motorsport to be one of the biggest supplier of parts for Milano Racing both for composites and metal parts. Of course both TEKS and D4S Motorsport will fully exploit the latest technology developed in the research projects to build these spare parts, increasing their performances, their safety and their environmental consciousness with respect to the 30 years old original parts.
Tests days at the South Garda Circuit (IT)
Friday, 30, October, 2015
The days after the Famous ‘Trofeo delle Industrie’ kart race, sported the perfect circuit conditions to carry out extended tests on new components made by advanced materials.
In fact, during the race, a large number of drivers are performing a big numbers of laps, putting high quality rubber on the circuit ground, consequently increasing the grip of the asphalt and making the lap time performance very fast and stable.
Exactly this condition is the preferred one by the test drivers and engineers, because it permits a precise comparison between different technical solutions, in order to select the best in class innovations and better understand some physical phenomena.
In those days we carry out tests on a high performance new design titanium water pump (produce by additive manufacturing), to stabilize the temperature of the engine in a very narrow range, and we did some screening tests on nanostructured coatings for gearbox components, dedicated to the reduction of the friction coefficient, with no needs of lubricant.
The results of the tests were positively interesting and useful to feedback the previously carried out numerical analysis.
Charity event
Gala dinner organised by the Association FAST for the fight against the cancer
Saturday night 24 October was an important day for the Association FAST, born to support the research and fight against the cancer.
A beautiful night was organised at the Mare Nostrum Resort in Playa de Las Americas in Tenerife (Spain), involving famous musicians, singers, showmen and showgirl and also cooks that made the night even more interesting.
All of them did their best to entertain the 700 invitees. Fantastic performances were carried out by the Miserables actors directly from London, the famous Spanish singer Tamara, the Los Rios and rock bands.
The incomes were fully devolved to the Spanish Association for the Fight Against the Cancer, in order to support the hospitals and structures to better treat and serve their patients.
