THE UMcLaren F1 ibhekwa, futhi ngokufanelekile, njengenye yemidlalo emikhulu kakhulu eyake yaba khona. Intsha, iphinde yaba imoto eshesha kunazo zonke kuze kube yilapho kuvela iBugatti Veyron endaweni yesigameko. Kodwa ngemoto eneminyaka engu-25 ubudala, iqiniso lokuthi kuseyimoto enenjini yomoya eshesha kunazo zonke ezake zaba khona - 391 km/h iqinisekisiwe - uhlala ephawulekayo.
Bekungeyona nje imoto yokuqala yomgwaqo eyakhiwe nge-carbon fibre, isethi yezinto eziyingqayizivele izogcina iyenze ibe yinganekwane yezimoto eyiyo namuhla.
Phakathi kwazo, yiqiniso, indawo yokushayela emaphakathi . Akusona isixazululo esijwayelekile. Ngisho neMcLaren yanamuhla ithatha indawo yokushayela evamile, isihlalo somshayeli sibe ohlangothini olulodwa lwemoto.
Pho kungani unqume ukufaka umshayeli phakathi ku-F1? Uma ekhona ongaphendula lo mbuzo, ngumqambi weMcLaren F1, umnu. Gordon Murray. Singasho ukuthi indawo yokushayela emaphakathi ivumela ukubonakala okungcono noma ibhalansi engcono yoquqaba, futhi zonke lezi yizizathu ezizwakalayo. Kodwa isizathu esikhulu, ngokusho kukaMnu. Murray, wayezoxazulula inkinga eyayithinta yonke imidlalo ye-supersports yama-80's: the ukuma kwama-pedals.
Uyathanda? Ukubeka amaphedali?!
Kufanele sibuyele emuva kuma-80s, ekuqaleni kwawo-90, futhi sibone ukuthi yimiphi imidlalo esezingeni eliphezulu ebesikhuluma ngayo. I-Ferrari ne-Lamborghini babengabameleli abakhulu balolu hlobo. I-Countach, i-Diablo, i-Testarossa ne-F40 bekuyiphupho labashisekeli futhi bekuyingxenye yokuhlobisa kwanoma iyiphi ikamelo lentsha.
Imishini ebukekayo nefiselekayo, kodwa engenabungane kubantu. I-ergonomics ngokuvamile kwakuyigama elingajwayelekile emhlabeni wemidlalo emikhulu. Futhi kwaqala ngaso leso sikhathi ngesimo sokushayela - ezimweni eziningi simpofu. Isondo lokuqondisa, isihlalo namaphedali bekungavamile ukuqondisana, okuphoqe umzimba ukuthi umiswe ngendlela engalungile. Imilenze iphoqeleke ukuthi idlulele phakathi nemoto, lapho bekukhona amaphedali.
Njengoba uGordon Murray echaza ku-movie, wahlola ama-supersports amaningana ukuze abone ukuthi yini angayenza kangcono. Futhi isimo sokushayela sasingesinye sezici ezibalulekile okufanele zithuthukiswe. Ukubeka umshayeli phakathi nendawo kwakuvunyelwe ukugwema ama-arches amasondo avulekile, njengoba kwakudingeka afake amathayi abanzi kakhulu, futhi ngaleyo ndlela enze isihlalo somshayeli lapho zonke izakhi zazilapho kufanele zibe khona ergonomically.
Kusengenye yezici zayo ezibaluleke kakhulu namuhla, noma iletha ubunzima obuthile ekufinyeleleni okuthunyelwe komyalo omaphakathi.
UMurray uyaqhubeka kufilimu ukuze agqamise izici ze-McLaren F1 - kusukela kusakhiwo sayo se-carbon fiber kuya ekusebenzeni kwayo - ngakho sizisola kuphela ngokuthi ifilimu emfushane ayizange ibhalwe ngesiPutukezi.
