Sports car racing is a form of circuit Auto racing with Automobiles that have two seats and enclosed wheels The 24 Hours of Le Mans ( 24 Heures du Mans) is a sports car endurance race held annually since near the town of Le Mans, Sarthe, The first Sauber car C1 was built in 1970. Year 1970 ( MCMLXX) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link shows full calendar of the Gregorian calendar.

The Sauber C9 (later named the Mercedes-Benz C9) was a Group C prototype race car introduced in 1987 as a continuation of the partnership between Sauber
The 'turbo era' of Formula One ended with the 1988 Formula One season. The 1988 Formula One season was the 39th FIA Formula One World Championship season The 1. 5 litre turbocharged engines were phased out in favour of normally aspirated 3. 5 litre engines. A massive demand for engine suppliers and a constant influx of new teams saw car manufacturers like Subaru, Porsche and Lamborghini enter Formula One as engine suppliers and sometimes buying out existing teams. is the automobile manufacturing division of Japanese transportation conglomerate Fuji Heavy Industries Co Porsche SE or Porsche ( German, ˈpɔɹʃə is a German manufacturer of automobiles which is majority-owned by the Porsche and Piëch Automobili Lamborghini SpA, commonly referred to as Lamborghini, is an Italian manufacturer of Sports cars based in the small Italian Village Other projects never progressed beyond design studies, such as one carried out by Simtek for BMW. Simtek (Simulation Technology was an engineering consultancy firm and Formula One racing team It was a turbulent time that led to the withdrawal of many small teams and even more famous marques such as Brabham and Lotus. Origins The Brabham team was founded by Jack Brabham and Ron Tauranac, who met in 1951 while both were successfully building and racing cars in their native 1950s Colin Chapman established Lotus Engineering Ltd in 1952 at Hornsey, UK.
A planned Mercedes collaboration with Sauber to enter their own Formula One team was shelved, although behind closed doors Mercedes continued to fund Sauber's Formula One project. Throughout its long history Mercedes-Benz has been involved in a range of Motorsport activities including Sportscar racing and rallying The team was to be powered by V10 Ilmor engines badged as 'Sauber Engines' in a chassis dubbed the C12, a continuation of Sauber's naming policy from sports car construction. It was to be piloted by Jyrki Jarvilehto (J.J. Lehto) and Karl Wendlinger. Early career Like many racing drivers he began in karts at age 5 winning numerous events before graduating to Formula Ford at the early age of age 14 Mercedes Juniors Wendlinger started his career in Karting and in Formula Ford before entering the German Formula 3 Championship in 1988
The car's racing debut took place in the first race of the 1993 Formula One World Championship, in South Africa. The 1993 Formula One season was the 44th FIA Formula One World Championship season The car was soon turning heads not only for its sharp FW14-like lines and striking black livery but its impressive performance, claiming fifth place, (Two points under the scoring system at the time) on its grand prix debut. Despite this impressive entrance to the grand prix scene, over the remainder of the season the team rarely saw the finish line due to unreliability and racing accidents. However, they proved their form was not a flash in the pan recording a slow stream of points finishes and rarely finishing outside the top ten when they actually completed a race distance. Despite not achieving a podium, they ended the season with twelve points, seventh out of the thirteen original entries.
The team went into the 1994 season as Sauber Mercedes, now officially Mercedes' works team with a new car in the Sauber C13 and the Ilmor engine rebadged the Mercedes 3. Early career Frentzen was born in the West German city of Mönchengladbach ( North Rhine-Westphalia) to a German undertaker and a Spanish mother The Sauber C13 was a Formula One car for the 1994 season. The number 30 seat was occupied by Heinz-Harald Frentzen for the whole year however The 1994 Formula One season was the 45th FIA Formula One World Championship season 5 V10. New team Pacific Grand Prix Ltd took a customer supply of more dated Ilmor units. Pacific Racing was a Formula One team from Great Britain. The team took part in two full seasons 1994 and 1995 entering 33 Grands Prix Between seasons Lehto had signed to Mild Seven Benetton Ford. Benetton Formula Ltd, commonly referred to simply as Benetton, was a Formula One constructor that participated from 1986 to 2001. Former Sauber sports car driver Heinz Harald Frentzen took up the role as Karl Wendlinger's team mate. Early career Frentzen was born in the West German city of Mönchengladbach ( North Rhine-Westphalia) to a German undertaker and a Spanish mother
Early signs showed the team were, rather disappointingly, delivering similar performances to the previous year, scoring a small tally of points in the opening rounds. The season took a turn for the worse when, at the race following the tragic deaths of Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger at the San Marino Grand Prix Wendlinger was seriously injured in a crash in practice for the Monaco Grand Prix. Ayrton Senna da Silva ( pronounced, March 21, 1960 &ndash May 1, 1994) was a Brazilian racing driver and triple Roland Ratzenberger ( July 4, 1960 &ndash April 30, 1994) was an Austrian Racing driver who died during qualifying for the The 1994 San Marino Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on May 1 1994 at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola, Italy. He suffered serious head injuries and was sidelined for the rest of the season, replaced by Andrea de Cesaris and a returning Lehto who had been replaced at Benetton after injury complications. Andrea de Cesaris (born May 31 1959) is an Italian former race car driver
It is interesting to note that the Wendlinger accident is a pivotal moment in Formula One history, as the incident that, with the death of Ayrton Senna, later prompted the mandatory implementation of head protection for drivers in the form of high cockpit sides. Sauber voluntarily pioneered prototypes of these to protect their drivers.
They would finish the season with the same points tally as the previous year but finished only eighth out of the fourteen original entrants. Mercedes were disastisfied with the progress and left the team at the end of the year, enticed by an offer from the McLaren team, who were still looking for a new works deal since Honda withdrew from the sport. McLaren, founded in 1963 by New Zealander Bruce McLaren (1937&ndash1970 is a Formula One team based in Woking, Surrey, UK The partnership would see Team McLaren Mercedes take their first win in 1997 and both titles in 1998 but left Sauber to pick up the works Ford engine deal from Benetton.
The 1995 season and Sauber C14 marked the beginning of a ten year sponsorship deal with energy drink giants Red Bull. Red Bull is an energy drink on the market and is sold by Red Bull GmbH. In fact entrepreneur Dietrich Mateschitz had purchased a majority share in the team and Fritz Kaiser joined as commercial director. [1] They landed a factory supply of Ford Zetec R V8s. Ford Motor Company used the Zetec name on a variety of Inline-4 cylinder Automobile engines. The 1995 season saw the return of Karl Wendlinger partnering Heinz Harald Frentzen. Unfortunately the Austrian's serious accident in 1994 seemed to have taken a lot out of his driving potential and he was replaced after two races by rookie Jean-Christophe Boullion.

The season, for Frentzen at least, went surprisingly well. The team finished on a record eighteen points despite the under-performing Ford engine and Jean-Christophe Bouillon, who was again dropped allowing Wendlinger to make his final F1 appearance. They also climbed back up to 7th in the constructor's championship.
1995 also saw Petronas become Sauber's presenting sponsor. Petronas, short for Petroliam Nasional Berhad, is a Malaysian owned oil and gas company that was founded on August 17 1974. They renewed their association in 2007. [2]
1996 saw Sauber's worst Formula One season in terms of points despite a promising driver lineup in Heinz Harald Frentzen and Johnny Herbert, a revised C15 entrant and a new V10 powerplant from Ford. Complete Formula One results ( key) (Races in bold indicate pole position Despite again holding seventh spot on a shrinking list of constructors they only scored 11 points and had not impressed for much of the season. For the next season they announced a customer deal to receive Ferrari V10 engines while they worked with new sponsors Petronas to construct their own engines. Unfortunately, due to a major economic crash in Asia the engines were never completed. The Asian Financial Crisis was a period of Financial crisis that gripped much of Asia beginning in July 1997 and raised fears of a worldwide economic meltdown (
Sauber used Ferrari designed engines (from 1997 to 2005) and gearboxes built by Sauber Petronas Engineering, a company founded for the sole purpose of building these engines, that were nearly identical to the ones used by Ferrari. Petronas, short for Petroliam Nasional Berhad, is a Malaysian owned oil and gas company that was founded on August 17 1974. Sauber licenced nearly every legally licensable part from Ferrari and even had several Ferrari engineers on staff. Many pointed out suspicious similarities between Ferrari and Sauber chassis, but no formal accusations were ever made (FIA rules require each team to design their own chassis).
In 2001 Sauber brought a virtually unknown and very inexperienced Kimi Räikkönen (who went on to win 2007 Drivers Championship with Ferrari) into Formula One, despite the protests of a few drivers and influential members of the FIA, including Max Mosley, that he would pose a danger to other drivers. Year 2001 ( MMI) was a Common year starting on Monday according to the Gregorian calendar. Kimi-Matias Räikkönen (ˈkimi ˈmɑtiɑs ˈræikkønen born October 17, 1979 in Espoo) is a Finnish Formula One race car driver currently Max Rufus Mosley (born 13 April 1940 is president of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA a non-profit association that represents the interests of His performances that year (and in the years to come), however, more than vindicated their decision. In 2004 Sauber spent a large sum of money on a new wind tunnel at Hinwil, and a high performance supercomputer (called Albert) to help refine the aerodynamics of their cars.

In its later years, Sauber's links with Ferrari became weaker. They sided with the non-Ferrari teams over planned rule changes at the end of the 2004 season and also joined up with GPWC (which BMW are now involved with). "MMIV" redirects here For the Modest Mouse album see " Baron von Bullshit Rides Again " The Grand Prix World Championship, often abbreviated to GPWC, was a proposed alternative world championship Auto racing series to rival Formula One Then they decided to switch to Michelin tyres, while Ferrari continued to use Bridgestones.
