🇮🇹 1981 Italian Grand Prix Lap 20 Car 7 🇬🇧 John Watson - McLaren MP4/1 Car 4 🇮🇹 Michele Alboreto - Tyrrell 010 John Watson’s accident at the 1981 Italian Grand Prix at Monza is widely remembered as one of the most significant turning points in Formula 1 history. It wasn't just a terrifying crash; it was the ultimate, real-world test that permanently changed how racing cars were built. On Lap 20 of the race, Watson lost control of his McLaren exiting the high-speed Second Lesmo bend. The car spun and struck the trackside barriers at roughly 140 mph (225 km/h). The violence of the impact was immense and it tore the engine and gearbox completely off the back of the car. The breakaway rear assembly bounced across the track and clipped Michele Alboreto’s Tyrrell, forcing him out of the race as well. To the absolute shock of the crowd and commentators, Watson opened his visor, unbuckled his harness, and walked away from the smoking, shattered wreckage entirely uninjured. Before the 1981 season, Formula 1 chassis were traditionally constructed from sheets of riveted or welded aluminum. However, for 1981, McLaren designer John Barnard introduced the McLaren MP4/1—the very first F1 car to feature a monocoque made entirely from carbon fiber composite material. The F1 paddock was deeply skeptical of this "mysterious black plastic." Many rival designers and team bosses openly criticized the move, confidently predicting that if a carbon fiber car suffered a major accident, the chassis would "crack like an egg" or disintegrate into a lethal cloud of sharp, black dust. Watson's crash proved the exact opposite. While the aluminum parts and engine mounts sheared off as intended to dissipate energy, the central carbon fiber tub enclosing Watson remained completely intact. It didn't shatter; it absorbed and deflected the massive load, acting as an impenetrable safety cell. Watson's survival at Monza effectively validated carbon fiber technology, establishing the blueprint for the modern carbon composite survival cells that continue to save drivers' lives in motorsport today. 🎥 Formula 1 John Watson McLaren Mastercard Formula 1 Team Autodromo Nazionale Monza #f1 #cars #accident #italy

🇬🇧 Lotus 102C Isuzu V12 Test In 1991, Team Lotus secretly tested an experimental V12 Formula One engine developed by Isuzu. This project, which remains a fascinating "what-if" in motorsport history, centered on the Isuzu P799WE engine. The Engine (P799WE): A 75-degree, naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V12 designed by a small, four-person team at Isuzu. It was impressively powerful, producing between 640 and 765 bhp depending on the stage of development, which was competitive with the top engines of the era. The Chassis (Lotus 102C): To test the engine, Lotus modified its 102B chassis to accommodate the V12, renaming the resulting car the Lotus 102C. The Test: The car underwent system checks at the Hethel test track in late July and early August 1991. The primary on-track evaluation took place at Silverstone in early August 1991, with drivers Johnny Herbert and Mika Häkkinen conducting the tests. Performance: During the Silverstone test, the car was reportedly around six seconds off the pace of Ayrton Senna’s McLaren-Honda. Several factors contributed to this: the engine lacked an alternator (requiring heavy onboard batteries), the chassis was not optimized for the new V12, and the car was not running on specialized racing fuel or tires. Reliability: Despite the gap in lap times, the engine proved remarkably reliable during testing and was considered easy to work with by the Lotus mechanics. Economic Collapse: The project coincided with the collapse of the Japanese asset price bubble. This economic instability, combined with Isuzu witnessing the struggles of other Japanese manufacturers (like Yamaha and Subaru) in F1, led them to cancel their entry into the sport. Isuzu eventually displayed the P799WE engine in a concept vehicle called the Isuzu Como F1, a radical mid-engine pickup truck unveiled at the 1991 Tokyo Motor Show. While the F1 program never materialized, the P799WE remains a symbol of Isuzu's ambitious engineering capabilities during that era. Today, one of the few surviving examples of the engine is kept at the Tamiya headquarters and the Isuzu Plaza museum. 🎥 Formula 1 #cars #japan #Isuzu #lotus

The two Porsche 963 fielded by the Porsche Penske Motorsport works team feature a racing livery that pays homage to the iconic Apple Computer spectrum livery from the 1980 Porsche 935 that raced in IMSA. Oliver Schusser, Vice President Apple Music, Sports and Beats: ”We’ve enjoyed a longstanding relationship with Porsche, going back to 1980 when a Porsche race car first carried the Apple logo. That moment marked the beginning of a shared passion for innovation and creativity that continues to define our collaboration today. As Apple celebrates its 50th anniversary, we’re proud to once again partner with Porsche on a design that pays tribute to that original 1980 livery.” “What began with the debut of the Porsche 911 at the 1963 IAA Motor Show is mirrored by the Apple Computer: both are icons that stand for innovation and continuous development by experts in Zuffenhausen, Weissach and Cupertino”, says Thomas Laudenbach, Vice President Porsche Motorsport. “This is particularly true of Porsche Motorsport, where innovations have been created since 1951 under the highest competitive demands.” A Porsche race car first carried Apple colours back in the 1980 season, when the US-based customer team Dick Barbour Racing entered an appropriately liveried 935 K3, including an appearance at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It was at that same venue that Porsche Motorsport’s success story began in 1951 with a class victory for the 356 SL. The renewed collaboration between Porsche and Apple takes place at the ideal location: Laguna Seca is situated in northern California, just a few miles down the road from Apple Park, the company’s worldwide headquarters. In addition, the historic circuit regularly hosts the Porsche Rennsport Reunion, the largest gathering of Porsche enthusiasts in North America. At its seventh edition in 2023, Porsche unveiled the limited track racer Porsche 911 GT3 R rennsport at this venue.

🚨 PORSCHE IN TOTAL FREEFALL: PROFITS CRASH 98% — FURIOUS CAR FAN SAYS THE EV PUSH “FRIED PORSCHE” A man sitting in his car posted a furious rant about what he believes Porsche has done to one of the most legendary brands in automotive history. He points to a statistic now circulating online. Porsche reportedly made $5.3 billion in profit in 2024. Now he claims operating profit has dropped to around $90 million, a collapse of roughly 98%. According to him, the problem is simple. Porsche spent years pushing aggressively into electric vehicles, focusing heavily on EV sales in China. But China now produces some of the most competitive EVs in the world, often for a fraction of the price. In the video, he doesn’t hold back. “They absolutely railed Porsche! They fried it!” Then he asks the question he says the company should have asked from the start: “What was the car that actually brought you to life? Was it an EV?!” “Did people buy Porsches because of an EV… or was it that flat-six?!” For him, the answer is obvious. The sound. The combustion engine. The identity that turned Porsche into one of the most iconic performance brands on earth. “This doesn’t make any sense!” If the numbers being discussed are even close to accurate, it would represent one of the most dramatic profit collapses ever seen from a major luxury automaker. Did Porsche chase the future… or just destroy the brand that made people love it?
