CRP Technology at the Global Motorsport Congress 

Koln, 05/06 November 2007

On Monday 5th November, the Global Motorsport Congress took place at Koln in Germany.

CRP Technology had the great opportunity to present a interesting paper realized thank to the long friendship with Gabriele Tredozi and the excellent cooperation with him in the past when he was working at Minardi.
In this 2007 edition of the Global Motorsport Congress, the CRP speaker was the Ing. Gabriele Tredozi -former CRP Racing Special Projects Technical Director and former F1 Minardi and Scuderia Toro Rosso Technical Director.
He made his intervention on Monday 5th November in the afternoon, during the special session dedicated to the Performance Materials.
Mr. Tredozi presented a case study focused on the great project developed by Minardi and CRP Technology together: “The optimization of the lubrication system for a dry sump F1 gearbox by experimental method, using RAPID PROTOTYPING and RAPID CASTING technologies”.
On the basis of the gearbox developed in 2003 and used in the 2004 season, Minardi started work on developing a new gearbox for the 2005 season.
The goal of the study was to optimise the interior structure but most of all its volumes.
The main targets are:
·    Optimization of the oil pick up
·    reduction of the flowing oil volume
·    Reduction of the dissipated power
·    make the casting even more rigid and lightweight
The chosen method was the optimization of the internal volume and the flow rate balance of the various G/box oil pick up, all this through the best manufacturing technology in order to leave maximum freedom to the geometry design for the internal casing dimensions.
 
Our special thanks go to the organizers of this conference, as this kind of event is always a great opportunity to show the CRP’s high professionalism, quality and service.
In particular CRP Technology and Ing. Tredozi would like to thank Ms. Bettina Seehawer and Mr. Roland Schedel for the kind invitation.

The full paper of the Case Study will be soon online on CRP TECHNOLOGY’s website www.crp.eu and WINDFORM’s website www.windform.it.
