Aerodynamic components of Formula 1 vehicles
Mazáč, Petr ; Beran, Martin (referee) ; Vančura, Jan (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with research themed aerodynamic components of Formula 1 vehicles. The beginning of the thesis is focused on basic of aerodynamic and generating downforce. Afterwards it deals with developement of aerodynamic from the beginning of Formula 1 to the present time, followed by categorization of the various aerodynamic elements which were used on vehicles throughout the history of the sport and in the present time with their construction description. It also summarizes active aerodynamic components.

Sport cars BMW - from history to present
Bartoš, Martin ; Svída, David (referee) ; Dundálek, Radim (advisor)
This thesis describes a chronological overview of the most important sport cars BMW from the begining of the company up to the present, which influenced motorsport in a way. The first part describes the history of the BMW car company. The next part of the thesis focuses on individual cars. The structual design of every model is described, eventually marked different unconventional construction. Next, there is a short part about succeses in races. Finally the most important technical specifications are mentioned.

Development of Formula 1 cars
Šopík, Lukáš ; Novotný, Pavel (referee) ; Píštěk, Václav (advisor)
This bachelor´s thesis deals with development of Formula One cars from the begging of the Formula One Worlds Driver´s Championship and describes the first twenty years of this development. This period is characteristic as the replacement of the pre-war cars with engine in front for the cars with engine behind the driver, which is typical for nowadays Formula One. There are description of main construction components and their subgroups, which had been improved by using new materials and technologies.

The Use of Inerter in Vehicle Design
Lanzendörfer, Tomáš ; Hejtmánek, Petr (referee) ; Blaťák, Ondřej (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the inerter application in vehicle’s suspension. The aim was to perform a theoretical analysis of its features, to compare its construction layouts, to create a multibody model of the car’s suspension and to analyse inerter’s effects while performing different driving manoeuvres. All analyses were performed by MSC Adams View software with a little support from Matlab. The quality of ride comfort and accessible traction force were increased by the inerter almost in every case, and dynamic load of the suspension was also decreased in some cases. The inerter is a device with high potential, but with high purchase costs as well, so further development and practical research is necessary.

Formula 1 Engines
Kaňa, Roman ; Ramík, Pavel (referee) ; Dundálek, Radim (advisor)
This bachelor thesis describes construction of some functional parts of the Formula 1 engine. In the first part I focused on crankshafts, connecting rods, pistons, valve gears and compared them with serial produced engines. The work further continues with the introduction of some unconventional solutions used on Formula 1 engines and comparison of the characteristics of known power units.

History and Present of Formula 1 Aerodynamic Components
Olšák, Jiří ; Drápal, Lubomír (referee) ; Vančura, Jan (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with research themed the history and present of Formula 1 aerodynamic components. It focuses on those components, that significantly have affected the aerodynamic properties and behaviour of F1 cars, as in the past, so in the present. It also discusses the categorization of the various elements of the current F1 cars, followed by evaluation of insight into the overall aerodynamic loads.

Historical Overwiev of F1 Chassis and Engines Evolution
Hrudík, Jan ; Svída, David (referee) ; Dundálek, Radim (advisor)
This thesis is focused on the overwiev of main periods in the area of race car construction development. In the first chapter, main attention is dedicated to Formula One cars, attending races since 1950. In spite of this, there is briefly noted the technological development before FIA Formula One Championship. Next chapter is dealing with technical restrictions and regulations restraining construction of Formula One car. Data are situated in the table, ascending sequenced according to the year. Next part refers to the actual Fia Formula One Championship season 2008. There is abstract of technical regulations and the list of actual Formula One teams, their cars and drivers. There is some pages acting with one of the Formula One team. In the last chapter some of technological experiments are presented.
