F1 1992 Williams-Renault FW14B 480x320

1992 Formula 1, Pre-Season Testing

The life of a successful modern Formula One car starts with the germ of an idea, a creative spark, a flash of brilliance. It rapidly moves to exploration in a digital world where simulations are run and the exacting details refined to ever more rigid levels of exactitude.

It's the first carbon fiber chassis and body to come out of the autoclave, mated to the first engine, the suspension, cooling systems, and electronics, that tells the real story.  Computer simulations are all well and good, but until the first car comes to life there's no knowing with any certainty that the Championship winner that has been so heavily invested in will even stand a chance!
