What keeps the windshield of the race car clean from all the dirt and rubber from the track?
Question by 00: What keeps the windshield of the race car clean from all the dirt and rubber from the track?
I’ve wondered and wondered for so long, but never tried to figure it out. So now, hopefully one of you will have the answer.
I noticed when the camera shows the windshield of the car during a race, it is sometimes dirty and has tire rubber stuck to it. And then seems to change and the dirty one shifts over towards the passenger side (I know it doesn’t carry passengers) and it looks like a new and clean windshield appears. How does it do that? Am I seeing things? How does the driver get his windshield cleaned during a race? Is there an automatice device that does this?
Well, I know they use tear aways during pit stops, but I’ve seen the thing change to a clean windshield while the car was on the track. I swear, it’s on camera every race. I must be losing it.

They used to use a squeegee during pitstops. Now they have clear tear away plastic. When they pit, one of the pitmen tears away another sheet. When you see it change, thats a camera lens on the outside of the car, and I think the lens rotates. Also. they glue the lugnuts on the wheels before the race, and when they hit them with the airgun wrench, it breaks the glue and tightens the lug nut.

ummm cleaners…some liquid glide i guess..
u must be knowing, ther are water jets at the base of the windshields. these jets must be squirting water to get the wind sheild cleaned. the water gets evaporated due to the streamline and speed of the car. hope this answers ur question
If you are talking about the camera view rather than the drivers view, they have cameras on top of the cars with a cap. it rotates, other than that its the tear offs, you must be losing it bro.lol j/k
tear away ‘s the pit crew rip’s off the tear away…and it is clean again..and they have more than one on it.. and that is how they keep it clean..
Yes, there is an automatic device that allows the in-car camera to “clean its lens.” It is essentially a roll of clear film which can be remotely advanced — sort of like a roll of film in a camera — in front of the camera lens, so as to provide a cleaner view when necessary. The same process is used for the roof-mounted cameras.
Its called speed. When the air is being forced out and around the car as it is traveling 200 miles an hour ,the force is likely to blow debri right off the windows. Also, tear offs are used more for the suns glare if Im not mistaken, as the day goes on and the sunlight lessons tinted tear aways are ripped from the windshield to allow better vision.
Tear offs.
Yea dude you are getting the camera lens mixed up with the windshield ! I bet they wish they had something like that to clean the windshield !!!!!
you see the camera rotate and clear, the windshield has tear offs, hope that helps
TEAROFFS
Custom cut patterns designed to fit the critical areas of your race car to protect the paint and sponsor decals.
Easy to install with a squeegee, soap and water.
Stays clear and bright with no discoloration or orange peel effect
Also, front end protection kits offer the racer precut clear film paint protection that is specifically designed to cover the front end of the race car that is vulnerable to pitting and erosion from track debris and grit. The product is 8 mils thick, and is easily applied to the car with a small amount of soap mixed with water. The material stretches easily for perfect fit on the car when compound curves make the installation of competitive film more difficult.
Well it seems noone else knows what you are talking about the camera going clear all of a sudden, but i have seen it too and have wondered the same thing……….
When you see the thing change to a clean windshield while the car was on the track , thats just the camera lens not the windshield .
It’s those two birds in the Windex commercials, they love to see humans go “splat”!
