AUBURN HILLS, Mich., May 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The 41st
annual BorgWarner Louis Schwitzer Award has been awarded to the
engineering team of Erskine Carter, Glen Gray, Andy Inman, Tim
Kronenberg, and Bruce Natvig for superior advancements in racecar
safety with the development of the Delphi Accident Data Recorder 3
(ADR 3). Delphi Accident Data Recorders have been required safety
devices on IndyCars since 1992. The third generation ADR3 offers
significant improvements from the previous design, providing a 37%
reduction in size and weight, double the sample speed and memory,
and 31 additional external signal inputs. Delphi continues to be an
engineering innovator in data acquisition with the ultimate goal of
making the sport of auto racing safer. Major racing organizations
from Formula One and NASCAR have sought out Delphi's expertise to
improve safety within their series. Delphi has also assisted the US
Air Force with recording ejection seat data to improve pilot
safety. Delphi continually strives to improve accident data
recording and peripheral components, such as the 2005 BorgWarner
Louis Schwitzer award winner Earpiece Sensor System now mandatory
in the IndyCar, Indy Pro, and ChampCar World Series. The award,
presented to engineers by engineers, honors early racing pioneer
Louis Schwitzer, and acknowledges individuals with the courage and
passion to explore and develop new concepts in racing technology.
BorgWarner sponsors this prestigious $10,000 award, which is
presented by the Indiana Section of SAE. SAE International also
supports the Louis Schwitzer Award by providing a $1,000
scholarship to the engineering school of the winner's choice, and
doubles the amount if the winner was a past Formula SAE
participant. The winner's name will be added to a permanent trophy
on display at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum.
