Formula One: Renault R30 pictures

am 31. From 31 January 2010 at 18:10 │ Comments {0}

Everything is new at Renault. New team, new drivers and a new paint job.

Besides the new car, which is again in the traditional black / yellow painted, it has also presented as a second driver Vitaly Petrov. This was expected, since the Russians a lot of money into the team brings economical. Whether the decision but was so good in terms of drivers, you will have to wait. Petrov has in recent years in GP2 learned a lot last season was not bad and I've noticed his fighting spirit. He is not as fast, but whether he has the speed? Kubica, it should easily under control.

The front of the R30 reminds me of that of R29. Amazingly, it has pulled down the nose, however, and in a fast and superficial compared with the other cars, looks a bit clunky. The Renault engine is very compact, you could build very sharply drawn air intakes, which makes this year but obviously everyone. All in all, the R30 seems pleasing, but offers few surprises.

Formula One: McLaren MP4-25 pictures

am 29. From 29 January 2010 at 14:57 │ Comments {4}

In a very short and brief ceremony today the McLaren car, called the MP4-25 was presented. And come up with surprises.

After yesterday Ferrari with a "Red Bull" nose appeared and the first pictures of the new Williams FW32 show such a nose, one could almost expect that McLaren has evolved in the way. But apparently it was looking at Woking a completely different way. Although the nose compared to last year moved up significantly, but a sharp bend and the creases on the suspension has not one. Instead, other things fall into the eye, such as the extremely narrow Kühleinlässe the side pods.

Formula One: Ferrari F10 pictures

am 28. From 28 January 2010 at 11:57 │ Comments {6}

Ferrari has today announced the first team to use the new car for 2010. Apparently it has in the last season caught up to some inspiration from the competition.
Ferrari in 2009 had a disastrous year. Last year's model was not bad but not good enough, because he lacked grip. Then there was the accident of Massa and Kimi Raikkonen completely listless. 2010 will be better times, not least by Fernando Alonso, who probably also happy that he could leave behind Renault. Today, the new car was introduced. Or better said, the basic chassis was shown. I do not think you will see the front and rear wings in the form in Bahrain. But there are quite a few Aufälligkeiten because Ferrari has used hard at Red Bull.

Formula One: Images of the new Mercedes GP finish

am 25. From on 25 January 2010 at 12:05 │ Comments {6}

With a small presentation Mercedes today presented the painting of the new team.

Gave the new car, it still does not see what it was, said Ross Brawn, that he simply was not ready. Presumably you have just built a chassis, and that would be of Brackley to Stuttgart and then fly back to. Since we at 01.02. but would like to start the tests, just makes no sense. For this you will also understand.
I was less happy, and not all journalists located in Stuttgart, about that time to launch any media Web sites of Daimler and Mercedes broke down. The new website of Mercedes GP is to do it online, but has no content. Although the Mercedes PR sent to the access for the media, but were then only two gephotoshoppten images.

From the new color you see too little. If Sutton can be seen that the silver seems to be very bright and has interspersed with lots of white. That might have something to do that McLaren this year with a dark silver leaves, and in the history of Mercedes indeed was a time when the cars were traveling with a white finish.

I'm sorry the way, this afternoon should be more pictures online.

The images here only dribble. There is now also a back entrance to the new Mercedes GP side, but since there are no new images. The only usable picture is from BBC presenter Jake Humphrey .

Le Mans sports car: Going Green

am 24. From on 24 January 2010 at 02:35 │ Comments {10}

While NASCAR has changed since 2007, trailed just on unleaded petrol and to F1 is still green stripe painted on the tire (the KERS miss time from the outside), is driven in the IndyCar Series since 2007 with 100% ethanol. The most interesting and exciting is the development towards a more environmentally friendly motor sports but in the field of sports cars.

Something short of our own: I must apologize, I announced this product in the past few weeks several times, but it has several reasons not just get ready. Originally conceived as a somewhat extended season review on the Green Challenge 2009, it is more of a dossier on the efforts to become a green sports car racing in the last decade. Here I will cite a few names, but will make it very clear that it is not my intention to apply for these companies or single out as particularly positive - they understand your examples for many other companies! I hope I can inspire so that a little food for thought.

Motorsport must sooner or later "go green". This is me last autumn it has become clear in the mirror when I a week after it as the title theme for a long interview with Michael Schumacher gave the bad letters read. The fan base is introspective enough to consider racing due to his now more than 100 years of comprehensive history for granted, but as great as it is to judge maybe after looking at the F1 audience tries the social support is not.
