Stockcar Engineering breaks new ground as the first international magazine dedicated to the advancing state of NASCAR technology. ยป More Photos
Famed Racecar Engineering Magazine has launched a new publication dedicated solely to the advanced state of NASCAR technology. Stockar Engineering debuted this month as a free insert in Racecar, with plans to publish new issues of Stockcar every 2-3 months.
Speaking with the man behind Stockcar, Deputy Editor Sam Collins, SPEEDtv.com asked how a magazine known for Formula One and Le Mans technology decided to create the first magazine dedicated to the growing field of NASCAR-related developments.
"It came from Belgium! I’ve started racing a Super Late Model Toyota Camry there and realized that there was scope for me to use some high tech parts on it, so I decided to find out what the Cup teams were up to. It turns out a lot of European F1-style technology is being used in NASCAR. Data logging, wind tunnels, CFD, thermal imaging, and loads of stuff is being used in really clever ways. It wasn't long ago when
It really is time to stop calling Stock Cars old fashioned and low tech."
Issue number one of Stockcar features three weeks of team and factory visits by Collins. "The first issue is a tour of the cutting edge of cup technology, looking at Aerodynamic development with the CoT, with comments from some of the top teams including Hendrick and Penske. We look into how advanced technology from Europe is boosting engine performance in Cup (did you know Hendrick makes inlet manifolds in clear plastic then uses high speed photography to visualize what is going on inside - that’s right – running a Cup engine with a plastic inlet!) We look at how data logging is banned in NASCAR, but every team uses it! What’s going on? Pi Research explains.
