Budds F1 Auction Nov 25
I'm excited to share I'll have unique works available to bid on at the Season Finale F1 auction with Budds that goes live on Friday the 31st of October. Its full of all sorts of interesting collectables and artworks connected to the world of Formula One.
You can go to their website here to find out more about all the featured artists and sellers, you can also bid and get more information on any of the 4 exciting pieces I am offering, starting with my Tempus Revolt edition that has been on show in the gym at Escapade Silverstone for the last number of months.
1st one being the Tempus Revolt - F1 Edition timepiece artwork made with over 130 authentic F1 race parts in collaboration with John Haigh from Racing Gold.
The authentic components.
RB5-RS-01595 – Wheel hub pin (12 used)
The bullet shaped pieces are wheel securing pins that locate the wheels to the hubs on the Rear axle of the RB5 -2009 year F1 car. These locate the wheel and transmit the 1000 bhp by sharing the energy between normally 5 or 6 pins per wheel, along with the nut that secures the wheel. These can be seen during a race pit stop but you will have to quick as they are around 2 seconds to change all 4 wheels. The pins contribute to a fast stop as they guide the wheel into the hub in a near perfect scenario. The RB5 was the first of the Adrian Newey designed Red Bull Racing cars.
The RB5 won 6 of the races in the 2009 season, secured the first ever pole position & 1-2 finish for the Team.
RB6-FS-00299 (ranging up to 00310) Torsion Spring – Front Axle (12 used)
These incredible torsion springs are hidden inside the bodywork of the F1 car, close to the drivers feet. Via a series of linkages and rockers, these springs twist at a pre-designed rate to carry the weight of the car under incredible loads. These are not only more compact than a traditional coil spring, just as important is that they can be swapped out during Friday & Saturday practise sessions to find the ideal set up for the driver and track. The splines seen at each end are critical as one end is fixed to the chassis and the other linked to the moving suspension. Each one is a slightly different diameter & therefore strength/stiffness & the are also sided left & right hand.
RB6 FS-01643-01 front suspension bolt (48 used)
These bolts connect the carbon fibre wishbones to the metal joints and are incredibly important. Designed to pull into a fixed aperture, this design means it locks into position so only a single nut is required to secure the components. This speeds up the replacement of the parts & lowers unsprung weight.
Each bolt is given a unique number etched after the number seen above. This allows the team to track the bolt so the race time can be monitored and also allows the team to monitor issues if a weakness is found in a batch of parts. This part will automatically be retired after a controlled amount of race time/laps.
The RB6 was a great evolution of the race winning Rb5. The RB6 went on to win 9 races and this helped secure the drivers & constructors World Championships in 2010.
An amazing car.
