ALPINA MotorsportsF 13 fim Type A Safety Barrier The ALPINA F1 Safety system FIA homologated Safety Barrier Accepts High Speed Impacts Monte Carlo The Air Module Safety System is set to revolutionise Formula 1 circuit safety with the release of its Alpina F1 safety crash bar rier. The Alpina F1 system could save expensive modifications to some of the world s classic circuits by giving the authorities a true safety barrier that can meet the stringent safety demands of today s motorsports. Research had shown that conventional tyre barriers, even of the multilayered Zolder type, offer no absorption over 48 km/h. High speed impact testing proved tyre barriers totally compressed at speeds ranging from 15 to 48 km/h, allowing the car to contact the wall. The main principle behind the deve lopment of the ALPINA F1 system is the absorption of energy and a limi ted deceleration of the driver. Unlike current crash barriers, the Air Module absorbs energy, by trans ferring and exhausting air with the objective to annihilate kinetic energy. Comprised of six separate chambers, the barrier grants an even deceleration, removing the sudden impact spike that causes severe injuries. The ALPINA F1 system has been evaluated by the Expert Advisory Group set up to instigate a number of safety reforms including the installation of a new safety barrier system. The Air-Module can be installed quickly as a permanent safety barrier that accepts numerous high speed crashes. lt recovers within approximately 10 seconds and is ready for the next impact. The ALPINA F1 is designed to replace or supplement tyre walls on the thtical corners found on most circuits. For non permanent circuits where space is very limited the ALPINA F1 is the perfect safety barrier. Dimensions: 2,4 x 1,0 x 1,2 m Weight approx. 90 kg less space needed for installation no interruption of races easy to install and maintain no rebolting of tyres - easy to repair long life time superior energy absorption self extinguishing meets requirements for thin barrier no loss of function after damage capable of carrying advertising
ALPINA MotorsportS 14 SPECIAL Safety-Products The ALPINA TYRE INSERTS Improving performance The ALPINA Tyre Inserts are polyethylene tubes and have been approved in compliance with the standard FIA 8861-2000. Because of their special technical details they achieve a substantial improvement of energy absorption their appropriate stiffness helps to absorb a proportion of the kinetic energy, which improves the performance of the whole tyre barrier system. For easy handling the Tyre Inserts are equipped with a belt, which allows fast installation and removal. They are weather resistant and guarantee a long life time. The ALPINA CONVEYOR BELT Increasing Effectiveness The ALPINA Conveyor Belts are according to the recommendations of the FIA and improve the energyabsorption properties of tyre barriers. They are fixed at the outer vertical face of the competed tyre barrier and help to enhance the integrity and the effectiveness of the whole tyre barrier system. Because of their flat and smooth surface the Conveyor Belts offer a perfect possibility for fixing advertising in front of the tyre walls.
