This article will discuss the inspection process, Next Gen cars, restrictor plates and the future plans for NASCAR. It will also provide information on the cars' performance as well technology and the best places to get them. The next generation NASCAR race car will be made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic. It will be used on the Talladega and Daytona superspeedways.
Next-generation cars will be made from carbon fiber reinforced plastic
A new specification for the seventh-generation NASCAR car is being developed. Many teams expect that the Next Gen car will make greater use of carbon-fiber and may have an all composite body. The Next Gen car could have a tub made from carbon fiber, instead of the traditional frame-on-body construction. Both materials are stronger and lighter that sheetmetal.
Next-generation cars will closely resemble production cars. The Toyota Camry will no longer be wrapped with stickers that make it look like a four-door. The car will remain symmetrical. The car will have more force from the side of the driver than it does from its passenger. However, NASCAR officials hope that these cars will attract a younger audience to the sport.
Talladega Superspeedways and Daytona superspeedways will use restraint plates
NASCAR will begin using restrictor plates at its Talladega Supersphearways in 2019. The two superspeedways are 2.66 miles long and 2.5 miles long, respectively. They joined the NASCAR circuit in 1988 and 2004 respectively. Both were banned from stock cars previously due to speed limits. NASCAR changed this in 2018.
Originally, restrictor plates were simply plates with intake holes. They weren't perfect. In fact, their holes varied over time. To find a competitive edge, NASCAR teams began playing a cat and mouse game. A simple design made it susceptible to scratches and other flaws. A taper spacer was invented to address this issue. The taper spacingr was originally used only at Daytona. However, it has been successfully tested at other tracks and has not adversely affected driver-to–driver performance.
Inspection process
NASCAR has tightened its grip on the inspection process for cars in its races. Officials are cracking down upon teams that break the rules to ensure each team has a chance at winning. The inspections of the cars are not extensive, but the officials will be working for two days ahead of the race. They will continue to inspect cars until they are removed from their haulers. Here's a closer look at the inspection process for cars in NASCAR.
Next year's process will consist of three stations: chassis, engine, and templates/LIS. The latter will include eight projectors, 17 high definition cameras and 17 high resolution cameras. This station will test for body conformity, weights, and skew. Each scan will come with a color code. Additional inspection may be needed in certain areas. The new inspection system for NASCAR cars will be performed at two tracks.
Future of NASCAR
The Future of NASCAR has become a hot topic. But who will be the next major star to drive the Cup cars and lead the team? Will it be female or minority? There has been a lot of controversy over the decision to add women drivers to the roster. The answer lies in next-generation drivers. For instance, a NASCAR driver team that includes a woman is more diverse than one that features a man.
NASCAR's foreign race car drivers will demand that the metric system be adopted and used kilometers instead mile per hour. Pit crews will be responsible for adding fuel to electric cars, and young professional drivers will race plasma-powered hovercars on other planets. This will mark a significant shift in the sport. What are our expectations for NASCAR's future? Let's look at some of the challenges that lie ahead.
