Pirelli final test

Pirelli heads back to Barcelona for the rearranged test session for formula 1 focusing on thetyres.

Bahrain Grand Prix will not take place as the opening round, the planned pre-race test has been switched back to the Circuit de Catalunya – the venue for the most recent session – as the teams get one final four-day test to prepare for the year ahead.

“Our last test in Barcelona was held in temperatures of just six degrees in the mornings, which didn’t help to rubber the track in or gather the information necessary to base strategies on over the course of the season,” Pirelli director Paul Hembery said, “We’re hoping for warmer weather this week, although it’s unlikely to be as warm as the temperatures we are expecting for the first race in Australia.”

Not enough people check their cars

As many as 21% of motorists fail to make monthly checks on their vehicle.

Tyres are the least-checked item and drivers in the east of England and in London make the fewest checks, while those in the East Midlands, north east England and Scotland maintain their cars the best.

The poll of 1,610 adults found only 38% of motorists check tyre tread depth on a monthly basis.

Some only check their tyre pressure before making long journeys, while only 15% of drivers aged over 65 fail to make monthly maintenance checks, compared with 29% of those aged 18-24.

A total of 26% of women and 16% of men admitted to not performing basic maintenance on a monthly basis.

Ben Tyte, head of Sainsbury’s Car Insurance, said: “It’s simple, straightforward and requires just a few minutes to carry out basic checks, and doing so will give you peace of mind that your car is in a good condition and safe to be on the road.”

Recyclatech Group

A  Scottish biotechnology company has sold out a franchise for recycling tyres to a Spanish firm, and wants to open its own facility in Grangemouth.

Chairman John Pool said the firm was near to raising the £1 million it required to build the plant to be based in Scotland, which would be capable of producing about 1,000 tonnes of recycled rubber a year.

Pool said Recyclatech would  supply the bacteria used in the process.

He declined to supply a value , but said: “We will do very well out of it, and our shareholders will do very well out of it.”

Alonso opinion on tyres

Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso have very different views on the new Pirelli tyres that are being used on the track for the Formula 1 championships this year.

“The race track will have so many rubber marbles, that the rear-wing trick won’t help when overtaking because you have to brake much earlier offline,” said the German.

Meanwhile, Alonso has said that he thinks that tyres will be the biggest factor to overtaking. The spanish racer is confident the difference between new tyres and used tyres will see a time difference of up to six seconds.

“Nothing else will contribute more to overtaking,” the Ferrari driver toldDiario Sport. “When you put on new tyres you can be up to six seconds faster than the ones who have not yet changed.”

Cheap Tyres

We have various tyres that come under our cheap tyres.

They are:

Part worn tyres; which you can purchase where they have been used but only slightly and can have so much more use out of them.

Budget tyres; which are the tyres that are at low costs throughout the year.

Remould tyres; these tyres are made for slow moving or for slow travelling vehicles.

If any of those sound good to you then contact us now for more information.

Apollo Tyres go Eastern

Apollo Tyres are planning on setting up a tyre plant in Eastern Europe where the labour costs are lower.

“We are looking at geographies like Eastern Europe, Indonesia for new plants. First, we will have our factory in Eastern Europe where the labour cost is low and the factory can run for longer hours as in India ,” Chairman Onkar S. Kanwar told reporters.

However, the Rs.8,120 crore company officials said that the primary task is to stabilise their newly inaugurated plant in Chennai where an additional sum of around Rs.500 crore is to be invested in a couple of months time taking total outlay to Rs.2,100 crore.

“The Eastern Europe project is still in the planning stage. I don’t see us there before a year. The minimum economic size of a car radial plant will be 400 tonnes a day. As a company, we are looking for rubber plantations outside India,” Vice Chairman and Managing Director Neeraj Kanwar added.

Darlington Taxi’s not allowed space saver

Darlington Borough Council have decided to out-law space saver tyres in Taxi’s.

A space saver is a tyre that is narrow and his held as a safety precaution.

The drivers of the taxi’s are angry and the council as they have to buy a new spare wheel.

George Jenkinson, who drives a taxi, said: “Space-savers are fitted on the factory floor and have been for nine or ten years. Why have they suddenly decided to ban them?”

A council spokeswoman said: “A space-saver tyre is designed to get the motorist home – it is not designed for long journeys or to be used at speed.

“The council’s policy is, therefore, that all taxis should carry full spare tyres so a wheel can be changed quickly, wherever they may be, and the passenger is not inconvenienced.

“Taxi drivers in the town were consulted, and agreed.”

Pirelli completes first test

Pirelli have had a successful first test which was in Valencia.

It was done to test the tyres on the track to get a feel of them and know how Pirelli tyres feel on the cars and the difference from Bridgestone to Pirelli.

“First and foremost, we’ve enjoyed perfect reliability over the three days, which has enabled the teams to get on with their test programmes at a crucial time of year as they launch their new cars,” Pirelli’s director Paul Hembery commented, “Naturally, they’ve all been running a very wide range of different configurations and set-ups here, so there’s no point looking too closely at the times.

“What’s more important is that the feedback we’ve received from the drivers and teams so far has been very positive, and it’s been a great pleasure to work with them all. It’s early days, but we believe that the teams have started to see now that our tyres are quite different to what they had before. In line with our brief, it’s no longer going to be possible to run virtually an entire race on one set of tyres, so I think everyone will appreciate how our PZeros can help to provide even more exciting races in the future.”

Group test in Valencia goes well.

Pirelli‘s first official test of 2011 as top supplier to the Formula 1 championships has been successful in Valencia today, with the teams getting a taste  the Italian rubber and how it will work on their new cars and a clear idea of how Pirelli tyres work.

Pirelli brought all four tyre types to Valencia – supersoft, soft, medium and hard – but with cold conditions under 10 degrees in the morning, warming up to around 18 degrees in the afternoon, most of the teams elected just to use the three softer compounds.

Both the intermediate and wet tyres were also brought to Valencia, with weather forecasts earlier in the week predicting rain.
