The cars feature Bosch diesel and gasoline injection systems, hybrid components, engine control units, displays, data loggers, telemetry systems, starters and generators, as well as cable harnesses and sensors.<\/p>\n<h3>Radar-based collision avoidance system<\/h3>\n<p>In a first for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Corvette Racing team will be employing a new collision warning system developed by U.S. motor racing equipment supplier Pratt &amp; Miller in collaboration with Bosch Motorsport. One major hazard, particularly in endurance racing, is posed by the speed differential between vehicle classes whenever high-speed LMP (Le Mans Prototype) cars come to lap GTE (Grand Touring Endurance) cars based on series production models. The new system is based on a third-generation Bosch long-range radar sensor (LRR3) fitted to the rear of the vehicle. With an aperture angle of up to 30 degrees, the sensor can detect objects at a distance of 250 meters. It can also track up to 32 objects simultaneously, along with their distance and speed relative to the car. The system combines this information with video footage to show drivers on a cockpit display the vehicles that are behind them, how fast they are approaching, and on which side they are overtaking. \u201cThis means drivers always know what&#8217;s going on behind them \u2013 which is a huge advantage, especially in rainy conditions or night driving,\u201d explains Dr. Klaus B\u00f6ttcher, vice president of Bosch Motorsport.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/1-BEG-192221.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1668\" alt=\"1-BEG-19222\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/1-BEG-19222.jpg?resize=300%2C216\" width=\"300\" height=\"216\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Injection technology for all vehicle classes<\/h3>\n<p>Since 2000, Bosch injection technology has guaranteed victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In the last six years, the only vehicles to have won the race overall have been Audi Sport and Peugeot Sport diesel and diesel hybrid cars. In 2013, Bosch is once again a development partner for the Audi R18 e-tron quattro racing hybrid, providing both the diesel injection system and electric drive components.<\/p>\n<p>This year&#8217;s classic endurance race will once again see Bosch gasoline direct injection on the starting grid, as it features in the Ferrari 458 Italia cars in the Le Mans GTE classes. Based on the company&#8217;s very latest series production technology, the system has been optimized to cope with the challenging conditions of motor racing. The gasoline direct injection system&#8217;s electronic portion comprises the MS 5.1 engine control unit and the HPI 5 high-pressure power stage unit, while its hydraulic portion is made up of HDEV 5 high-pressure injection valves and the HDP 5 high-pressure pump with integrated demand control valve. The electrically controlled HDEV 5 high-pressure solenoid valve with multihole technology was tailored to the customer&#8217;s precise specifications and the spray pattern was matched to the engine&#8217;s specific combustion chamber geometry. Bosch Motorsport supplies the impressively small and light HDP 5 high-pressure fuel pump with a cam profile that is tailored to the engine&#8217;s individual characteristics<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/1-BEG-175941.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1669\" alt=\"1-BEG-17594\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/1-BEG-17594.jpg?resize=300%2C216\" width=\"300\" height=\"216\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Comprehensive motor racing portfolio<\/h3>\n<p>Many of the race teams use other Bosch Motorsport technologies in addition to the company&#8217;s injection systems. The Ferrari 458 Italia GTC cars feature a tailored version of the Bosch DDU 8 display. Meanwhile Corvette Racing uses engine control units, data loggers, and DDU 7 displays for their GT2 Corvette C6.R racing cars. The SRT Viper GTS-R vehicles are equipped for the first time with engine control units and data loggers from Bosch. All these products are specially developed for motor racing, produced in small series, and carefully tailored to the cars using customer-specific software packages. Bosch Motorsport also produces the telemetry systems that transfer data between the car and the pits during a race to give team engineers a constant overview of the technical status of the car&#8217;s systems. For the Porsche 911 RSR as well as Porsche 911 GT3 RSR vehicles, Bosch supplies the engine control units, engine data loggers, starters, and numerous sensors. The majority of the components are based on series production technology that has been adapted to the gruelling requirements of endurance racing.<\/p>\n<p>(Source: Bosch Media)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bosch technology on board the Audi R18 e-tron quattro, Ferrari 458 Italia, GT2 Corvette C6.R, Porsche 911 RSR and Porsche 911 GT3 RSR as well as SRT Viper GTS-R Radar-based collision warning system being used by Corvette Racing Every Le Mans winner since 2000 has used Bosch injection technology This year, as the 24 Hours [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[15,23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1667","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-automotive","category-motorsport"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p79TdE-qT","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":237,"url":"http:\/\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/?p=237","url_meta":{"origin":1667,"position":0},"title":"Extensive safety in the new Audi A8","author":"Tom Denton","date":"April 27, 2010","format":false,"excerpt":"Bosch predictive emergency braking system goes into series production \u00b7 Environment recognition with radar and video sensors \u00b7 Of all the accidents involving injury and fatalities in Germany, 15 percent are rear-end collisions The Bosch automatic emergency braking system is going into series production for the first time.
