The Paddock

Team McLaren @ Honda Indy Toronto 2024

by Peter Shin Toronto

The Paddock is like the locker room by comparison to hockey, football, basketball or baseball.

It is also known as the GARAGE area in the racing industry. Whenever the cars are not on the race track during an event weekend, they will be found inside the Paddock. Race teams are assigned a space for housing each car and its accompanying equipment, and the impressive, purpose-built transporter trucks that transform into a fully functional temporary garage for race weekend.

A real hub of buzzing activity, this is where all of the backstage action goes down. Race teams and drivers use this area as their 'office' for the weekend. Team meetings are held to strategize and review performance while mechanics vigorously make precise adjustments to the cars between on-track sessions, looking for every little tweak to improve the cars performance.

그래서 F1 그랑프리에서는 1,000 마력 몬스터 머신들의 트랙 질주를 직접 보고 듣는 것도 신나고 가슴뛰지만, 머신을 놓고 백스테이지에서 벌어지는 각종 다양한 작업들의 진행사항들을 보는것 역시 흥미진진한 것이 된다. 패덕에서 진정한 프로들의 팀웍으로 다시 태어난 머신은 드라이버를 도와 레이싱에서 좋은 성적을 낼수 있게 된다. Though it is just a necessary condition than sufficient one, because other competing teams are doing the same thing as hard & professional as team McLaren. 메롱~~

McLaren brought their SemiAutonomous Super Car as well for the show.


It looked like that she had the responsibility over the team. Wow..!

팀 맥라렌에 비해 다른 팀들의 패덕 공간은 넓지 않있다. 영국 수퍼카의 자존심 맥라렌의 위상을 짐작해 볼뿐..



Bye now.
