How Subaru Prepares World Rally Car
The World Rally Championship, just like other major motorsport, is nearing its conclusion. The next race will be staged in Corsica and teams have been busy with their preparations for the event. The event in Corsica is the second of the back to back asphalt road events in WRC's calendar. Team Subaru is already in Corsica and they are busy with the preparations for the said event.
Before the event, the team of mechanics for Subaru will rebuild the car. For transportation of the cars to be easy, the team takes the car apart. This is also done because with every new event, the car should be given a different setup. When it is time to rebuild the car, the team's mechanics carefully adjusts different things on the car which have been specified after practice sessions.
One of the things that teams’ mechanics check is the car's geometry. It should be checked to ensure that the car will run balanced. This is essential to avoid accelerated tire wear and unbalanced handling. These things should be avoided at all costs when teams are competing over stages of more than 30 kilometers with just mere tenths of a second separating competitors.
The first thing that mechanics do with the car is to drive it onto mobile car scales. A car scale is essentially composed of a frame of flat aluminum raised a few inches from the floor. It is the same size as the wheelbase of the car. The four wheels of the car will have to match the four corners of the frame. The height of the frame can be adjusted with the aid of a spirit level. The scale should be adjusted so that it will be flat. Ensuring a flat surface is very important as a non-flat surface will give erroneous measurements.
The corners where the wheels of the Subaru head gasket -equipped car sit on have sensors used by the scale in measuring the weight of the car. Team mechanics then are tasked with interpreting the reading on the scales. The reading will tell them if the car is balanced or not. The front wheels should match and also the rear wheels. This is done so that the weight in the left side and the right side be equaled. If the weight of each side is unequal, tire wear on the heavier side will likely lead to a poor performance.
After checking the weight distribution of the car, mechanics will then move on to checking the car's camber. Camber is the angle made by the wheel with the car's vertical axis. A wheel leaning inward has a negative camber. Negative camber is good for cornering as it allows the tires to be positioned in a way that there would be less friction. For a straight-line acceleration though, it is better to have a zero camber as it allows the tread of the tire complete contact with the road. Mechanics need to determine the right camber. If a stage includes a lot of twists and turns, they might opt for a negative camber while if it involves a lot of straightaway runs, they can set the camber to zero.
These are just some of the things that the cars used by Petter Solberg, Chris Atkinson, and Xevi Pons go through.

What is Rally the world for the climate deal next month all about?
My teacher and classmates are talking about it but I can't say anything because I don't know what it's about.
Thank God there are people who will still fall for anything so the Al Gores and Bernie Madoffs of the world will always have marks.
