A bit about this site
There are a lot of F1 dictionaries on net, but explanations are short and without any in deep view. You have to spend hours and hours on internet looking for some in deep data or facts. For example check forceindiaf1.com or Official F1 site, and you will understand what I’m talking about.
On other side is f1technical.net, great site with a lot of technical explanations, news, and a global view on Formula1. I learn a great deal of F1 from this site.
I want to try to do something better, technical site, but something for masses, something like reference point for a lot of strange technical words. I tried to do something like this on f1network.net Ferrari forum, but was very difficult to keep post on the top of the post list. It was not an ideal thing, so I decided to try to make my own site. During years, I was writing on many sites, forums and blogs about F1 technology under different „nicks“. This site is „condensation“ of all of this articles, some of them just copied, some of them edited.
A lot of items and almost all pictures in this Dictionary are edited and sometime copied things from other authors on internet and other resources, and with copied items will be posted link (well, in most cases). Likewise, lots of items are my originals.
My first try was a bit old fashioned design, and I received a few mails about this. This is my third try, and again, only design of pages is changed. I know it’s still not a perfect, but I will try to improve it with time. I will add items from time to time, so come hire and check it out. Items will be added with time, depend on my free time. I have a family and other jobs, you know!
I’m a Ferrari fan, but this site is not biased in any way. This is a site about Formula 1 and racing technology, and there, all teams are involved. In many occasions’ “small” teams like Minardi, Arrows, BRM, Lotus come with great inventions, and ideas from these small teams are today base for F1 we know.
If you find something on this site you think is biased, you have to know that this site is only mine, is not sponsored by anybody and basically I don’t care. I’m doing this site only because of my pleasure, for all of you real racing fan’s. Few avatars doesn’t make site biased. On this site technical data are more important.
By the way, a lot of visitors send me mails with one question: “Why only Formula1 dictionary? Why not racing dictionary?” OK, I will try to expand the site. But already now there is many technical words you can find in this F1 dictionary and explanations are the same for any auto or motor racing class.
And one more thing. English is not my „mother language“. So be tolerant. There may be some misspelling or „pidgin English“, but I'm doing my best.
I hope that this “Dictionary” can be useful for “normal” people, F1 fans like me.
I love this sport
