F1 bosses want to trial a sprint qualifying format at three races this season to see what impact it has on the television spectacle and the experience for fans at the track. The idea is that at Silverstone, Monza and Interlagos, normal qualifying will be shifted to Friday afternoon, with a 100km sprint race on Saturday then deciding the final grid for the main race on Sunday. While a lot of the details have been agreed, one of the final factors that needs to be sorted is the finances of the plans. F1 chiefs are offering an extra payment to cover potential costs, including damage, but big spending teams want as much as $1 million extra and a lift in the cost cap. That idea has not got universal support from all teams, with some outfits fearing that lifting the cost cap will open the door to bigger outfits using the extra finances to fund performance gains. F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali is due to meet the teams on Saturday to discuss the proposals, but Horner is clear … [Read more...] about Red Bull needs cost cap “accommodation” for F1 sprint races

Following the first time two consecutive editions of the Isle of Man TT have been cancelled since the Second World War, dates have been confirmed for the 2022 race. The 2020 event was cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak in March, with this year’s planned event following suit late last year . But organisers are ploughing ahead with plans for next year’s races, which will be held between 29th May and 11th June 2022. Qualifying will be held across six days between Sunday 29th May and Friday 3rd June, with racing getting underway on Saturday 4th June and culminating on the fourth race on Friday 10th June. The annual event attracts over 46,000 to the Isle of Man a year across the two weeks of competition. While many racegoers will have rolled over sought-after accommodation and hotel bookings from previous years, accommodation and transport packages are now available to book through Motorsport Tickets. Ferry crossings from Liverpool during the race weeks are now … [Read more...] about Isle of Man TT 2022: Dates confirmed and tickets on sale

Your autonomous premium compact people mover has arrived. Officially Revealed: ⠀ Audi AI:ME Unveiled As Rear-Wheel-Drive EV For The City The last impressive concept Audi revealed was the Q4 E-Tron electric crossover which made its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show last month. While it looked almost production ready (and will actually reach the assembly lines in 2020 or 2021), the company’s new study is far from being destined for production. It’s called the AI:me and is scheduled to be revealed during the Shanghai Motor Show on April 15. That’s clearly not what you’d call a typical Audi. The concept , at least from what we are able to see so far from the first drawings, takes the shape of a compact people hauler with sloped roofline at the front and a more angular approach at the back. At this point, we can’t tell the exact seating configuration of the cabin, but the vehicle appears to be able to accommodate four passengers.

Ford packs a bounty of safety assists into the little hatchback, and occupants get a much nicer cabin, too. Ford gave the world a good luck at the next-gen Fiesta's rounder design yesterday , but the Blue Oval held back most of the technical details about the latest version of its popular hatchback until now. When the model arrives, it looks to pack a ton of cutting-edge technology in a compact package. Depending on what customers want, they can choose between the higher-riding Active model, sporty ST-Line, luxury-oriented Vignale, and stylish Titanium. (pictured from left to right below) The new Fiesta five-door measures 159.1 inches (4,040 millimeters) long, which is 2.8 inches (71 mm) more than the current model. At 68.3 inches (1,734 mm) wide, the latest model is also 0.5 inches (12 mm) broader than the present one. It rides on a 98.2-inch (2,493-mm) wheelbase – an increase of 0.2 inches (4 mm). Ford reports that the new Fiesta is a sharper handler now because … [Read more...] about New Ford Fiesta tech details and powertrain specs finally revealed

Every family vehicle should have 600-plus horsepower and drift mode. What a great time to be an auto enthusiast with a family. Once upon a time the two weren’t so mutually exclusive, but now we have crazy beasts like this AMG -tuned long-roof Merc that is as practical as it is insane. We got a preview of the bonkers Mercedes-AMG E63 S Wagon back in February, but seeing it dressed in white for its official debut at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show , this family hauler has all the makings of an epic sleeper-in-waiting. Revealed: Mercedes-AMG E63 S wagons its tail in Geneva For those who missed our E63 S Wagon preview , here’s the background on this car’s split personality. It packs the same 603-horsepower biturbo V8 and nine-speed dual-clutch automatic from the AMG E63 sedan . That engine also produces 627 pound-feet of torque, so it’s not like you’ll need to constantly shift to find the Merc’s ample power band. 4Matic all-wheel drive is standard and can shuffle … [Read more...] about Mercedes-AMG E63 S wagons its tail in Geneva
