We are happy to take part such projects, thus we were eager to work with M1RA too.
2, A few words about M1RA
The racing team founded this March by the well-known Hungarian racing driver Norbert Michelisz started off this season in TCR, the international touring car racing series with 2 drivers. M1RA team lead by Dávid Bári too, competes with two Honda Civic Type R cars. In the team, which is primarily founded for talent management, the 17 year old promising talent Attila Tassi already got his place. Behind the other car's wheel is Roberto Colciago, a well-experienced Italian.
M1RA team has participated already in 4 competitions. Their drivers are in 2nd and 4th positions in overall.
3, Sheet metal parts fabricated by Melior
„The manufactured parts are ballast weights. We get such parts from the car manufacturer too. However, we wanted to adjust the weight distribution of the car more precisely. Laser cutting was chosen because it is fast and very precise, so we got several parts with different weights and different sheet thicknesses from one model.” – said Dániel Boriszov, an engineer at M1RA.
The so-called ballast weights, which ensure the stability of the car were manufactured from S355 Laser MC type raw material. This is a special type of steel alloy developed for laser cutting with exactly the same density as of the normal steel. Thus this choice was also ideal for M1RA team, since it was essential to them to maintain the precisely set weight. Using this special material as well as applying "small type contour cutting” could we only ensure that the ø10mm holes and cuttings in the 15mm thick part are regular and have a perfect side surface. The part was fabricated with the TRUMPF TruLaser 5030 Classic TLF5000t flat bad laser cutting machine of Melior Laser, which is an ideal choice for fast, presice and cost effective fabrication of thick sheets.
The Hungarian race will be held 1- 2 July on Hungaroring and the team now is working hard to launch a 3rd racing car driven possibly by the owner, Norbert Michelisz.
Go go M1RA!
