am Sonntag, 19. Mai 2013 nahmen Formel 1-Rekordweltmeister Michael Schumacher und MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Formel 1-Fahrer Nico Rosberg im Rahmen des 24h-Rennens auf der Nordschleife an einem besonderen Vergleichstest zwischen einem Formel 1-Silberpfeil und verschiedenen Mercedes-AMG Fahrzeugen teil. Bei dieser High-Performance-Demonstration starteten vier Mercedes-AMG Fahrzeuge sowie Schumacher im Formel 1-Silberpfeil zu unterschiedlichen Zeitpunkten und fuhren gemeinsam über die Ziellinie. Das erste Auto, ein A 45 AMG gefahren von Bernd Mayländer, startete um 15:30 Uhr vor der Mercedes-Benz Tribüne. Es folgten ein E 63 AMG S-Modell mit Karl Wendlinger, Rosberg im SLS AMG Black Series und ein SLS AMG GT3 mit Bernd Schneider. Zuletzt startete Schumacher im Formel 1-Silberpfeil. As part of the support programme for the 24-hour endurance race at the Nürburgring this weekend, record F1 championship winner Michael Schumacher and MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Formula 1 driver Nico Rosberg participated in a very special performance demonstration around the Nordschleife to compare a Formula 1 Silver Arrow against various Mercedes AMG cars. In this high-performance demonstration, four Mercedes AMG cars plus the Formula 1 Silver Arrow with Schumacher in the cockpit set off at staggered intervals aimed at bringing them all back across the finish line at the same time. The first vehicle to depart – an A 45 AMG driven by Bernd Mayländer – set off at 3.30pm from in front of the Mercedes-Benz grandstand. It was followed by an E 63 AMG S Model driven by Karl Wendlinger, an SLS AMG Black Series with Nico Rosberg at the wheel and an SLS AMG GT3 driven by Bernd Schneider. Last off the mark was Michael Schumacher in the Formula 1 Silver Arrow.

CAUTION! Watch at your own risk!

This video may be addictive!

Watch, learn and discuss! It’s short, but it provides great insights and plenty of room for discussion! And we even added some cool sound this time.

This animation shows the CFD simulation of a car facing wind from the left. The car itself is basically stationary (no forward movement), but spinning around its center. This study was part of a safety check when regulations changed to ensure that the car wouldn’t lift from the ground even when out of control.

If you like this, we might come up with more similar Tech Bites.

CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) is a great tool which is not only used for aerodynamic research, but also for simulations of all kinds of fluids in the race cars. Different from the wind tunnel, CFD also allows to calculate and simulate temperatures. The two complement each other perfectly.

Have a great weekend and don’t forget to LIKE us in if you haven’t done so already, Sauber F1 Team
