The First F1 TURBO Engines and ECU Management Development
« on: September 14, 2012, 11:38:22 PM »
You Boost dudes will like this video series.
It's almost 2 hrs of segments but was really interesting. It's about the introduction of turbos into F1 back in 1984 with the development of the first ECU for engine control management.
Some of the old technology was very eye opening. (They used wood to make engine block molds)
The computers looked like old Atari systems. LOL

They start out as 10 minute segments but will continue on automatically after each 10min segment is over.
Each Part is about 1 hour.

That's pretty cool.   Amazing how much they look like Karts back then.
