Faraday Lecture

19th March 2007 Birmingham Symphony Hall

Winning Formula - Technology in the Fast Lane

2007 Faraday Lecture

Using a series of live interactive demonstrations the Faraday Lecture explores behind the scenes to reveal some of the secrets of the world of motorsport. Along with exciting real life applications of science and technology, we look at how materials, design, aerodynamics, control and communication systems, traction, torque, telemetry, communications and safety considerations can all contribute to success or failure on race day.

This one hour interactive presentation, which is aimed at 13-15 year olds, but will appeal to all age groups with an interest in racing, uses computer simulation to allow the audience to experience how race teams determine their strategy and pit stop tactics.

The Faraday brings science and technology alive and the 2007 'Winning Formula' will take students on a thrilling journey from starting grid to chequered flag and show what it really takes to reach pole position.
