This season encompassed so much; triumph, tragedy, surprises and missed opportunities, and the Hill/Schumacher battle over the season as a whole produced such a great story. Incidentally, I asked for the 1982 book when it came out, but have yet to open it.Not George, Willem Toet has indicated in some articles that he has produced that Benetton were using a form of traction aid, but did not function in the way that traction control works and was therefore legal according to the regulations of the time.One important aspect about traction control is the fact that it requires a means of directly measuring the wheel speed in order to work out when the wheel is beginning to spin, so it can then send that information back to the ECU. If the former, then the balance is about right.This is the season of my birth, and I think they handle all the bad accidents and tradgedies with calm and control.Usually the music is absolutely dire but to be honest I liked some of the little dittys at some points. For Ayrton it was iconic sequence Toleman – Lotus – McLaren – Williams.That 1994 Weekend in Imola broke my heart. That weekend of Imola 1994 defines break-point of the two halves of my Formula 1 passion.Still personally sombre internally about the events this tragic F1 weekend, so many years on.I think this book has value for new F1 fans, but less so for the “older” generation that lived through the events of 1994.I found most of the book replayed much of the well known stories of the time but unlike most publications this was was presented through the lens that Benetton were/are innocent and presented a case for it.There is no “new evidence” in the book, just more detail about lesser known stories from the year. The book is presented, priced and sold as a professional product, but it reads as an earnest but amateur publication.Hamilton ‘doesn’t need huggy, cuddly, emotional ride at Ferrari’ – CoulthardWhich F1 team has the strongest driver line-up for 2020? But it seems that this book is the real deal instead of just some sensationalist cash-grab, so putting it on my wishlist.I have already read this book and to be honest it came across as trying to explain away the allegations, and despite the authors protestations they seem as though they are a Schumacher fan and not unbiased as they claim to be.Thank you for reading the book. RaceFans’ history of the 1994 Formula 1 season.
The text is littered with typos and grammatical errors which at £29 is not acceptable and leaves the impression that the publishers didn’t bother to proof before they published.
Darn, I’m going to have that “Frozen” song in my head all day. I love the music, I *really* love the filler between races as it helped to paint a picture and tell the stories of the season (something that I really miss from more recent reviews) and I find the commentary generally much better than Ben Edwards’ paltry retrospectives.I would love for all the reviews from the 90’s (my personal favourite era) to be reproduced onto DVD as I’ve worn my tapes out completely, but whether that will happen or not, who knows.Regarding the commentary, I would love to see them take a leaf out of the Le Mans review book and replay live commentary from the TV coverage, rather than talk over it in a retrospective manner afterwards. I believe this Lotus book is just as good as the 1994 book as there is a few shocking stories to be told in that also… To keep up to date on the Lotus book go to; Having read the book the RaceFans review strikes me as somewhat generous. Many chapters have been written on the events of this year, not least in the numerous volumes on Senna. Hope nothing go wrong Resolution: 1280x960 (4:3) Frame: 25 FPS Size: 1.48GB / 1518.49MB Container: MP4 Language … Because if you don’t come back with prove, then that means 1: you don’t actually believe what you said. The ECU can then work out what action to take – applying the brakes or cutting out a variable number of ignition sparks to reduce the engine power, for example, with the latter system being fairly common on the cars of the early 1990s.Now, when the B194 was investigated, whilst they did find “Option 13”, it is worth noting that nobody ever found any device fitted to the car that could measure whether the rear wheels were breaking traction and starting to spin. Much more dynamic and enjoyable I think this book is the third time I see someone covering that year recently.Benetton’s mechanical traction control finally surfaced, despite everyone being aware of it by the perfect starts and characteristic engine sound on corner exits. Furthermore, it is evident that the author would have benefitted from the advice and input of a professional editor given the amount of repetition, flawed logic and ill-advised speculation.This, however, is not the fundamental problem with the book.
Equally, priced at a not unreasonable £29, this is well worth the investment, and a worth addition to the bookshelf.Books like this obviously have a market, but at what point do folks let things go? Your go-to source for the latest F1 news, video highlights, GP results, live timing, in-depth analysis and expert commentary. If the latter, then the circumstances of the deaths of two drivers is not handled in enough detail.
Likewise the text is not just a rehash (or reprint) of contemporary reports, which gives some refreshing perspective, and pushes for new insights.As with other releases from Performance Publishing the book is very well presented with some great illustrative photos throughout.
It featured the 1994 Formula One World Championship for Drivers and the 1994 Formula One World Championship for Constructors, which were contested concurrently over a sixteen-race series that commenced on 27 March and ended on 13 November. Rubens (near miss), then tragically Roland and then Ayrton lost.It took ten years for me to face the idea, the heart, to re-form my passion to watch Formula 1 again. Him pushing former teammate Barrichello against the wall when driving for Mercedes (having nothing at stake) did little in his defense.Newey’s turning things around to produce a winning car at the end of season cemented his already good reputation.And finally the lost of Senna and all the upcoming battles we missed. Those with evidence or knowledge as to the other side of the debate haven’t been interviewed so the book is inherently unbalanced. First time making magnet URL. Especially the tune during the Belgian GP practise. And maybe giving Ferrari a title before retiring at the age of 40.It was really a season for the books.
