Hoy vemos la #F1 como lo máximo en tecnología… y es cierto. Pero no siempre ha sido así. Hay quien ha tenido el valor de hacerse un F1 en el garaje de su casa o en su propio taller. En ocasiones pilotos que, para subirse a un F1, no les quedaba otra que hacerse su propio coche… y algunos de ellos… ¡incluso iban bien! Construir un F1 hoy. Hoy día fabricar un F1 con ciertas garantías implica muchos medios, muchos conocimientos y, por tanto, mucho dinero. Un monoplaza actual tiene unas 15.000 piezas distintas que hay que diseñar y fabricar con todo detalle y con unos niveles de calidad impresionantes. Se diseñan por ordenador, se prueban en el túnel del viento, se hacen simulaciones y más del 80 por ciento de sus piezas están fabricadas en materiales compuestos, mayoritariamente fibra de carbono. ¿El precio? Pues, por reglamento 125 millones de euros por temporada. Pero, para que te hagas una idea un chasis puede costar 1 millón de euros y un alerón más de 300.000 euros… La era “Cosworth”. En realidad habría que decir la era “Cosworth”, la era “Hewland”, la era “ZF”, la era “Koni” o la era “AP o Lockeed”… Porque hubo unas décadas en la F1 en que los coches de F1 eran muy artesanales y los equipos básicamente hacían un chasis y una carrocería y para todo lo demás iban al súper… Lyncar F1 (1971) Este será el coche más conocido del que vamos a hablar hoy, porque con un Lyncar debutó Emilio de Villota en la F1… es una historia que me contó de primera mano Emilio. Slater no era nuevo en esto. Para poder correr en la F-Junior se construyó él mismo los monoplazas. En 1971 dio un paso más y fabricó un F-Atlantic al que llamaría Lyncar 001… Hasta que se encuentran el Lyncar y Emilio de Villota… Con los colores de Iberia Airlines F1 este binomio participó en el campeonato británico venciendo en Mallory Park en 1977 tras un adelantamiento espectacular de Emilio en la última vuelta… LDS (1962) La F1 tiene una enorme tradición en el Reino Unido… y en sus colonias. ¿Sabías que existió un Campeonato Sudafricano de F1 en los años 60? Las parrillas estaban nutridas de viejos y anticuados F1, algún F2 no mucho más moderno y poco más. Así que Louis Douglas Serrurier decidió hacer sus propios coches a los que puso el nombre de las iniciales de su nombre… LDS… Pero claro, una cosa era construir un F1 y otra, aún más difícil, diseñarlo. Así que LDS no se anduvo por las ramas y “fusiló” primero a los Cooper, para sus LDS Mk1 y Mk2 y luego al Brabham BT11. Khadi 08 (1967) Pero también hubo un campeonato de F1 en Rusia y zona de influencia… Vladimir Kapsheev, fue el padre de este modelo que tenía un chasis tubular, un peculiar morro y unas novedosas suspensiones independientes neumáticas y llantas de aluminio. Se uso un motor GAZ-21 de 3.2 litros de cuatro cilindros que daba 160 caballos… sin comentarios. Kauhsen WK (1979) El piloto alemán Willibert Kauhsen es uno de esos casos que os decía: Si quería conducir un F1 solo tenía una opción. Fabricárselo él mismo. Primero construyo un Fórmula 2, más tarde decidió evolucionarlo a F1, con un optimismo absoluto, pues ni tenía ni los recursos ni los conocimientos necesarios para ello. Y se inspiró nada más y nada menos que en el Lotus 79…. El Kauhsen WK se inscribió en los GP de España y de Bélgica de 1979, pero su Gianfranco Brancatelli no se clasificó para la salida en ninguno de ellos. Participó en una carrera de la Fórmula Aurora, donde tuvo que abandonar por problemas mecánicos. Darnwall Connew (1972) Os decía que dejaba para el final la mejor historia. Y es que la pasión y el tesón mueve montañas. Y desde luego a Peter Connew no le faltaban. Con 24 años pidió permiso a su jefe para ir a ver el G.P. de Italia de F1 y su jefe no se le dio… así que se despidió de su trabajo y se fue a ver la carrera. Y se enamoró de la F1 y de su tecnología. Dejar tu trabajo para ir a ver una carrera de F1 ya tiene tela. Pero, sin tener ni idea de F1, ni te tecnología ni de aerodinámica y sin dinero, pretender hacer y competir con un F1 no es una locura, es misión imposible… pero no para Peter. El coche, se construyó en el garaje de Connew en Chadwell Heath con ayuda de voluntarios y con gran parte de material regalado. El piloto, François Migault, no era malo ni mucho menos, consiguieron algo de dinero de Shell y el coche no iba mal. Pero cuando no se rompía una cosa, se rompía otra. Después de mil vicisitudes y con algo de fortuna, se clasificaron para salir los últimos en el G.P. de Austria de 1972. Conclusión. Hoy día hacerte un monoplaza de F1 en tu casa es un verdadero chiste. Pero hubo un tiempo, en la era “Cosworth” en esa era Kit-Car en que si tenías conocimientos y unos recursos económicos nada disparatados, era posible. Ese listado de coches modestos, pero competitivos, merece otro video, ¿no os parece?

Dale was signed by Gillingham while not even 15, his first game was against a Brighton Youth side, next up was away to West Ham and the match was played at their Chadwell Heath training ground. Harry Roadmap was manager with the likes of Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard Neil Ruddock, we were all a bit star struck. We ended up losing 12-0 but what an experience.

Signed by John Roseman at Whitstable, had a couple of great years at Town, missed out on being it the FA VASE winning Deal side under Tommy Sampson, fate worked against him in a strange way. Dale tells of John Roseman's bizarre ritual in preparation for a cup finale, (you will not believe what the players had to do), and much more Podcasts from Belmont Banter, if you have any questions regarding Belmont Banter… Contact us: questions@whitstabletownfc.club Can't Find Belmont Banter?

A man who attempted to rip a large cross from the roof of an east London church has been arrested by police. Footage posted on social media appears to show a man repeatedly trying to pull a wooden cross from its base above the entrance to Chadwell Heath Baptist Church in Romford. With the hood of a coat placed over the cross the man can be seen using all his force to release the cross from the roof of the church. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/angrybritishconservative/message
A new study by the Pew Research Center has found that 86% of Spaniards support welcoming refugees – the highest percentage of 18 nations surveyed, including 10 EU countries. According to the survey, only 13% of Spaniards said they would “oppose accepting refugees fleeing violence and war.”........The survey shows that Italy, Poland and Hungary were the least-welcoming countries for refugees in Europe. SPECTATORS watched in horror during Barcelona’s annual La Mercè festival when a human tower or ‘castle’ collapsed. Performers attempted to create an enormous tower of bodies, a tradition of the festival, but as the final two climbers scaled the ‘human castle’ those at the foundation of the structure lost their balance. The tower collapsed causing participants at the top of the structure to fall from a great height, landing on those below them. A THREE-YEAR-OLD girl has lost her fight for life after a freak incident led to her death following a car crash in Spain.The girl was safely strapped into a child seat in the back of a car that was being driven by her mother. A school bus in front of their car allegedly braked sharply to avoid a collision between two cars in front of it. However, the woman driver couldn’t react in time and she smashed into the back of the bus.Emergency services said the girl suffered severe head injuries after a tablet she was playing with struck her in the crash in Vilanova de Arousa (Pontevedra). A STUDENT has plunged to his death in Spain while allegedly practicing parkour on a construction site in Madrid. The 17-year-old boy fell eleven floors to his death according to a National Police investigation when he attempted risky jumps and ‘parkour’ with friends. Parkour participants aim to get from one point to another in a complex environment, without assistive equipment and in the fastest and most efficient way possible. It includes running, climbing, swinging, vaulting, jumping, rolling, crawling and other movements as deemed most suitable for the situation ......... AN ADOLF HITLER T-shirt has been snapped in one of Mallorca’s busiest tourist spots causing outrage on the Spanish island. Spotted and photographed on Palma beach, Mallorca the controversial T-shirt has made waves on social media. Analysis by the Office for National Statistics, shows that after many years of Britons living longer, life expectancy has now either stalled or fallen in parts of the UK. Across the UK as a whole, life expectancy did not improve at all between 2015 and 2017 - standing at 79.2 years for men and 82.9 years for women. More than a million over-65s may suffer dangerous side-effects because they are taking herbal remedies and dietary supplements alongside drugs prescribed by their GP, a study has found. Some ‘hazardous’ combinations can increase the risk of bleeding, raise blood sugar levels or stop medications from working effectively, warned scientists. Twitter users suggested that the body of a woman killed by a train should be left on the tracks and services allowed to continue running. Another branded the deceased a 'selfish c****' after the death on tracks between Chadwell Heath and GoodMayes in East London. ......... so now we all have to wait hours to get a train.' A MAJOR airport in the UK has vowed to crack down after a baggage handler was filmed by a Ryanair passenger flying in from Spain as they tossed her suitcase into the air and onto the ground.

Post-Millwall Phil, Jim and Dave Morley do not gloat even slightly about the recent 2-1 victory over the arch rivals from across the Thames. Instead we get a fascinating insight to Ravel Morrison's first day at Chadwell Heath and Dave reads the paper. Then we talk a little bit about the Millwall game.
Sam Delaney and Benji Lanyardo join a Jimless Phil this week and discuss O'Neill (Martin), Jol (Martin), Money and what to do in Fabregas's face. There's also an exclusive look at what goes on in Chadwell Heath from a player's perspective. This podcast is forever memorialised in Mount McCarthy, Wolverhampton's greatest monument.
