What is a tecpro barrier?
The TECPRO system is International Patented and FIA approved, The barriers are made of polyethylene contact-wall, hollow on the inside, connected blocks connected together by double nylon straps. The TECPRO low-walls can be shaped perfectly to any curves and turns of race tracks and are available in many color.
What are Nascar safer barriers made of?
The SAFER barrier consists of sections of 3/16 of an inch thick steel tubing, 28 feet long and 8 inches by 8 inches in diameter, backed with thick, closed-cell foam block and retrofitted to the existing retaining wall of a racetrack.
How does an Armco barrier work?
An Armco crash barrier works by absorbing the impact of a crash – usually involving a vehicle. Referred to as an Untensioned Corrugated Beam, the Armco barrier is developed in a ‘W’ shape. It’s this bending shape that allows for impact by slower-moving objects such as cars or bikes.
Who makes tecpro barriers?
Philippe Gurdjian
TECPRO: A new safety system introduced by Philippe Gurdjian at the Paul Ricard circuit 10 years ago… The President & CEO of the Paul Ricard HTTT Philippe Gurdjian, never stops to progress and improve safety on the race tracks all over the world.
What is TEC pro?

Who makes SAFER Barrier?
The SAFER Barrier was created two decades ago by INDYCAR through the Midwest Roadside Safety Facility (MWRS), part of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Engineers there examined and tested nearly 100 energy-absorbing materials before deciding Owens Corning® FOAMULAR® worked the best.
Who invented the SAFER Barrier for NASCAR?
Dean Sicking
Dean Sicking was contracted by the Indy Racing League (IRL), and in subsequent years by NASCAR, to invent a safer barrier. Researchers spent five years studying the physics behind car accidents, building and running computer simulation tests, and holding 26 full-scale crash tests.
How do F1 drivers survive crashes?
The survival cell, or monocoque, is the central part of the F1 car, in which the driver is seated. The survival cell is designed to be all but indestructible and has evolved over time to withstand even the most dramatic of collisions and to be the last line of defence between the driver and track.
How much safer is F1?
In total, there have been 52 deaths in F1, with 32 of those occurring during a Championship race. There have been over 1000 races since 1950, and so this puts the fatality rate per race at 3%.
What are Armco barriers?
Armco Barriers provide a high-quality steel safety barrier system and are often known as Armco Safety Barriers or Armco Crash Barriers. Installed in locations throughout the UK, Armco Barriers provide a permanent barrier system that will help reduce the amount of damage caused as a result of impact or collision.
Why is it called Armco barrier?
The history of Armco Armco barriers are the industry standard when it comes to motorway barriers. The name is synonymous with the corrugated steel barriers lining racetracks, to the point where they are often simply referred to as Armco.
