Traction Control

The war for the title turned into a war of motors. Turbocharged engines have won, which opened the way for the team, "Reno" in 1977. Own engines to hone their race cars for a Renault, Ferrari and Alfa Romeo, who ruled and reigned at that time on the slopes of Formula. Then they began to press the monsters TAG and Honda. Fireballs teams McLaren and Williams, engines equipped with these manufacturers on the slopes were not given any chance of competition. In After all "competition engines" came to the mark, that the FIA was forced to make some significant amendments to the technical regulations aimed at limiting the power and speed. For example, decreased limit pressure compressors, and fuel tanks capacity compressors.

And in 1989, was putting an end to the most wonderful period of formulas, the period of unlimited power – FIA banned the use of tubronadduva. End XX century: the triumph of finance and electronics in the last decade of the twentieth century formula of several lost in entertainment, but continued to actively develop, with the introduction of advanced technologies. Many of them, as well as the turbocharger, obtaining lease of life thanks to the "Formula", a few years later turned out to be banned. Here is an incomplete list of technical solutions used today in modern cars, but prohibited by regulations of the Formula: – An active suspension control clearance vehicle is in motion by means of hydraulic actuators, built into the harness. – Traction Control, which avoids slipping over the driving wheels when fuel supply – System Optimization Launch Launch Control (Launch Control) -.
