Porsche uppgraderar säkerhetet kring Nordslingan

Stuttgart. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, supports the Nürburgring
to retain the Nordschleife as a sports venue and test track. During the
European Formula 1 Grand Prix, Wolfgang Dürheimer, Executive Vice-President
Research and Development at Porsche AG, presented a cheque for 250,000
Euro.

Moreover, Porsche makes the technology of the Weissach-developed
crash cushion for race and test circuits available to the Nürburgring
free-of-charge. These bolted-together tyre-stacks with a special foam core
substantially improve the safety, above all in the areas with limited
run-off zones.

"For Porsche it goes without saying that we wanted to make our contribution
to the increase in safety on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife. The circuit is
unique in the world - on the one hand as a circuit for top-class motorsport
as well as for many recreational racers and on the other hand as the
ultimate test track for the development of our production vehicles," says
Dürheimer explaining the support of Porsche AG.

Symbolically, Dürheimer also presented the Nürburgring with a crash cushion
consisting of six foam-filled tyre-stacks, as is in operation at Porsche's
test track in the Weissach Research and Development Centre. The
FIA-approved elements absorb considerably more energy than crash barriers
and need not be replaced after an impact, as they revert back into their
original form.

Färre meter räcke att pröjsa vid mindre smäll framöver mao.

Fast räcket kanske blir dyrare per meter?

Fast Porsche kanske pröjsar det med

need not be replaced after an impact

Borde innebära att det blir billigare för de som kraschar just där det räcket är monterat. För vanliga ARMCo-räcket görs det nog ingen skillnad. Meterpriset är vad det är..
Hoppas bara det nya räcket gör banan SÄKRARE utan inskränkningar. Win-win situation..

Är inte ringen ganska smal? Detta tillägg till Amcot borde ju göra det ca 1m mindre mellan räckena (you win some and you loose some).

Dvs om du förr hade missat Amocot precis så kommer du nu att dunsa in i Porschebarriären.
Petitess, naturligtvis.

Kanske bara gäller GP-banan?

Kudos till porsche!!

GP-banan heter ju inte direkt Nordschleife....
