Formula One Engines
Formula One racing has held the fascination of many people since its inception in 1950's when Formula One World Champion was first ever held. Cars back then was on 1.5 litre straight-8 supercharged engine. Pretty modest spec by today's standard, but it can still packs a punch as it can produce 425 horsepower at 9300 rpm at maximum capability.
Times have change and the millions of dollar that goes into improving F1 engines technology have transformed it into a super-engine for the roads of today. The so called power behind the current F1 cars these days are the powerful V8 engines. With some 5000 parts to it, it is said, if a few parts weren't included in the setup, the F1 car could still run.
There are some 1500 moving elements in an F1 engine and it would take the engineers and mechanics some 2 weeks to put the engine as a whole. Abling to produce some 750 horsepower and 20,000 rpm, this fuel guzzling V8 engine can consume up to 60 litres of petrol for 100km of racing. But however Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) the world motorsport body has put an engine freeze ban on the improvement of F1 engines.
It is deemed too dangerous by the FIA when Formula One constructors are developing F1 cars that are able to speed as fast as 370km/h and the engines able to run as close to the 1000 horsepower mark. FIA imposed the ruling on 2005 and it was set in motion in 2007. In 2009, there will be a new ruling yet again as FIA wants to equalise engine performance to meet new cost cutting measures in F1. It seems the new ruling stems from the high cost to run F1 these days which are spiraling out of control.
For now all F1 teams have to settle with engines that produce around 720 horsepower with an 8 cylinders in a 90 degree V-angle engine setup. The engines are to be mainly made from forged aluminium alloy. This alloy is used as it has the same properties as steel but far lighter. Non-ferro materials are forbidden in engine material by FIA.

What is a good average distance to set top mounted brake levers apart on a cyclocross bike?
I am building a cyclocross bike and can't find a set of cyclocross handlebars. I am using a set of alloy road handlebars but the top mounted brake levers seem to be quite far apart. They are approximately 7.5" apart measuring from the center of one clamp to the center of the other. I can't move them any closer due to the taper for the stem. Is this ok or do I need to find another set of handlebars that would allow the brake levers to be moved closer together?
Hi there,
There isnt really such thing as a Cyclocross specific handlebar. And to be perfectly honest, and this answer is coming from decades of international cyclocross experience, top mounted brakes are not worth the weight or the cost. Cyclocross requires a fast pace in which the hoods or drops would be the best option, and on technical sections where you think you may need top mounted brakes, you get much better control with your hands on the drops where the levers are easily accesible. And as for the bars? I highley recomend PRO PLT bars, they come in black or ice grey, in sizes 40-44 and come in compact, anatomic and round. They retail for around 25-35 British pounds and if they are being used for cyclocross i also recomend the Oversize version for the same price.
Hope this helps,
