I really enjoy hearing this type of stuff. I think you have this general idea of how they work, but I didn't know there were straps inside or hollowed out blocks to check. Interesting.

Reassembling the tec pro barrier probably takes less time than cutting out and welding/bolting in a new steel (or concrete) crash barrier. And you know, kills less drivers.

Seriously, you are THE F1 channel which is the channel which I miss(ed). There is literally no other channel which has this specific niche knowledge. You go beyond the simple explainable topics. And you don't even bother to do videos which are unnecessarily long. This topic could have easily been 15 minutes long but you concentrate on the essentials. Thank you!

Great explanation @mattamys. As an FIA marshal, the TechPro barriers are excellent at their job of absorbing car energy without spinning or flipping the car. I have seen them save many lives compared to tire barriers or plain Armco.

I always thought that the whole barrier blocks were made of polyurethane or dense foam-like material and i didn't know that they're tied together like that. It's surprising that tires barriers are still being used, you would think we're in an age where something like that would be science driven. It seems the techpro barriers have some science and testing in its development

@mattamys
@mattamys Жыл бұрын
Concrete walls are mostly on straights, so any contact would mostly be a side impact - whereas places where you're needing to slow the car down to absorb that fast energy is mostly in the corners!

For shallow impact angles TecPro barriers can actually be more dangerous than concrete walls. There is a chance that the car can get entangled in the TecPro barriers, which will cause it to be stopped within a very short distance, resulting in sharp deceleration. These deceleration forces can cause injuries to the driver. Instead when a car hits a naked concrete wall at a shallow angle, there will only be a minor side impact (which the safety features on the car should be capable to take care of) but the car can keep all of it's forward momentum. It can keep scraping along the wall for several hundred meters and dissipate it's energy over a long amount of time. Therefore the deceleration forces acting on the driver are way lower. So it is a matter of circuit design and risk assessment to determine which parts of the track are likely to see only shallow impacts (for example walls alongside a straight) where you would put smooth hard barriers like armco or concrete, and which parts might see blunt impacts, where you need TecPro or tire bundles. There is of course yet another type of impact protection available: the SAFER Barrier (which is an acronym that stands for "Steel And Foam Energy Reduction Barrier"). This type of barrier was specifically developed for oval racing, but has since found it's way onto many other circuits as well, including the Jeddah F1 circuit. On oval tracks the cars are always running parallel to the outside wall in close proximity, so pretty much all impacts into the outside wall happen at a shallow angle. That's why ovals used to have "unprotected" concrete along the outside, as this used to be the safest option. But in the last 20 years all oval tracks have been upgraded with SAFER barriers. These are essentially smooth steel guardrails mounted on styrofoam shock absorbers. The styrofoam will cushion the side impact, while the smooth steel surface allows the car to keep moving forward unobsructed. You can expect to see SAFER barriers on more and more F1 tracks in the future, as for shallow impacts they provide the best safety for the driver. For blunt impacts TecPro is the best option.

They are usually either printed onto self-adhesive film and placed on directly, or onto thin Multiwall Polycarbonate Sheet (basically cardboard but waterproof) and if a driver is going full speed into the barrier, this wouldn't be their main concern!
