The 2017 British GT title winner is set to make his debut in the BTCC this season, driving one of four Hyundai 30N Fastbacks the team will run this season. Parfitt Jr will join last year’s BTCC title contender Tom Ingram , Chris Smiley, retained by the team for 2020, and Jack Butel, who has arrived from Ciceley Motorsport. Confirmation of the move for the British GT Championship regular since 2014 ensures Senna Proctor won’t continue at Excelr8 in the BTCC this year. For 46-year-old, Parfitt Jr, the opportunity to graduate to the BTCC is a “chance to live the dream” having been a long time fan of the series. It also follows a tough 2020 that saw the Crohns disease sufferer undergo major surgery and sit out last season. "I’m massively excited about the prospect of moving into the BTCC with Excelr8 Trade Price Cars,” said Parfitt Jr, the son of late Status Quo singer and guitarist Rick Parfitt. “When I was younger, I used to sell advertising in Motorsport … [Read more...] about Parfitt Jr completes Excelr8 Hyundai BTCC squad

The Frenchman, who will race all 13 of the 2021 NTT IndyCar Series’ road and street courses in the Dale Coyne Racing with RWR-Honda, was speaking to media after his first day of testing an IndyCar, at Barber Motorsports Park. Asked if the more relaxed atmosphere in IndyCar was suiting him, he said: “It’s been great. I've had already some good interaction with Sebastien Bourdais. He was next to me [in pitlane] so that was easy. Takuma Sato came over. “I saw some of the other guys. Simon Pagenaud in the pit lane – he was driving and I gave him a wave and he gave it back. So I think generally it's been great in that respect.” Regarding teammate Jones, who will drive the Coyne with Vasser Sullivan entry, Grosjean commented: “We have a good relationship, as well. I told him I used to be an asshole as a teammate back in the days, but now I'm 35 and I'd like us to be friendly. “On track you want to beat them, there's no doubt, but outside of the track I think if we can be … [Read more...] about Grosjean: “I used to be an asshole as a teammate”

F1 will embark on a single three-day pre-season test at the Bahrain International Circuit from 12-14 March, giving teams limited time to get up to speed ahead of the new season. Although there has been a large amount of carry-over from the 2020 cars for 2021, teams are nevertheless grappling with a shorter window in which to complete their typical pre-season preparations. Speaking at the unveiling of the new Alfa Romeo C41 car earlier this week, technical director Jan Monchaux explained the challenge posed by the reduction in test running. "It's going to be frantic," Monchaux said. "Three days, it's quite short compared to previous seasons. The car carries over a lot of components, so theoretically the risk to have a bad surprise is reduced. "But I expect those three days to be very hectic on the track, with all the teams trying to put maximum mileage to make sure you have reliability, but also to tick off the box with respect to the performance expectations." … [Read more...] about Alfa Romeo predicts “hectic” F1 pre-season testing

Things are looking pretty good here. We’ve already seen the next-generation Peugeot 308 testing on public roads on a number of occasions but all the spied prototypes had a hatchback body style. Today we can share the first batch of spy photos showing the station wagon version of the model and it already looks quite promising. The 308 may be more popular as a hatchback on the European market but that doesn’t mean there’s no demand for a long-roof option. The Old continent is still hungry for practical wagons - even in the compact segment - and the French firm will answer that with the stylish new 308 SW.
