The racing car counterweights using is a lot of knowledge, because in addition to the suspension control system structure, which decides the racing cars is good or bad to be controlled, more important is the counterweight ratio of the front or rear of the car. You can also say that the racing cars counterweight is the last finishing touch to the car settings, because sometimes the performance of a problem racing car can be improved by increasing the counterweights. In the racing car designing process, each one has its own inherent racing car counterweight. Therefore, as a precursor racing car, the vehicle counterweight becomes very important.

 

When mount the tungsten alloy racing car counterweights on the car firm, it should be fixed and don’t let the counterweights slide, otherwise it would not achieve the effect of lowering the center of gravity, instead, it will lead the racing car out of balance. Counterweights must be comprehensively selected based on the different models and weight of the racing cars, only the weights of counterweight and racing car body can ensure the stability of the car body but not cause the car to increase the burden weight. Since tungsten alloy has a high density feature, so it is often used as tungsten alloy counterweights, and applied to F1 racing cars in order to optimize the car's performance, and make the racing cars better to be controlled.

 

Since tungsten alloy is an insoluble metallic material, it is clearly not feasible that to be prepared with the molten-recast method. Therefore the production process of tungsten alloy counterweights for racing cars is mainly using powder metallurgy technology. The appearance of  the powder metallurgy process not only accelerates the exploitation and researches of tungsten minerals but also completely changes the hysteresis producing status of the tungsten alloy products. To some extent we can say that the powder metallurgy technology promote the rapid development of tungsten alloy products and spur the rising of peripheral industries, at the same time, it also changed the status of single metal counterweight.
