The image shows a 1960s Alfa Romeo Junior slip-streaming a 1950s Studebaker Silver Hawk during a classic car racing event held at the Killarney Racing Circuit in Cape Town. The term "slipstreaming" describes an object traveling inside the slipstream of another object. The less powerful Alfa Romeo is inside the slipstream behind the more powerful Studebaker and is moving at the same speed as the Studebaker as it requires less power to maintain its speed than if it were moving independently. This technique is often used in motor racing in order to overtake another vehicle,which might have a power or speed advantage or might have similar performance | |
