The change, which has been strongly rumored for most of the offseason, has been introduced for two primary reasons. The first is to reduce accommodation costs for the teams and the series, and the second is to reduce personnel’s potential exposure time while the U.S. is still grappling with the COVID-19 pandemic and awaiting vaccinations to become more widespread and take effect. An IndyCar insider described the weekend schedule revisions as “a balance of 2019 and what was learned in 2020”. Last year, at the height of the pandemic, several events were condensed to two days yet featured two races to help ameliorate the temporary loss of several venues due to statewide lockdowns. The Chevrolet Detroit GP will also become a two-day affair this year – June 12-13 – as the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship race will run one week earlier. The CDGP organizers wished to remain sensitive to the fact that the Belle Isle venue is a state park used by others, thereby keeping three … [Read more...] about IndyCar reduces road course events to two days

Range-topping GT version does 0-62 mph (0-100 kph) in 5.1 seconds and tops out at 167 mph (269 kph). Kia signaled its desire to launch a gran turismo in September 2011 when it introduced the GT concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Now, after more than five years, the GT is finally ready for production and it’s going to be called “ Stinger ” in the same vein as the GT4 Stinger unveiled at NAIAS in 2014. It’s debuting today in Detroit with an appealing design pinned at Kia’s studio in Frankfurt and echoing the concept before it. Regardless of viewing angle, the connections between the two are obvious. It doesn’t have the concept’s suicide doors, but other than that it remains faithful and in this range-topping GT trim looks quite aggressive and stylish at the same time. At 190.2 inches (4.8 meters) long and 73.6 inches (1.87 meters) wide, the Stinger is one of the biggest models in its segment and also has one of the longest wheelbases among competitors, stretching at … [Read more...] about 2018 Kia Stinger is a stylish gran turismo with biturbo V6 power

Bottas is entering his fifth season racing for Mercedes in 2021, having helped the team win the constructors’ championship in each of his past four years alongside Lewis Hamilton. But the Finn has always been re-signed on rolling one-year contracts at Mercedes, with his existing deal set to expire at the end of this season. With teammate Hamilton also on a one-year deal currently, Mercedes has maximum flexibility in the driver market for 2022 with two vacant seats. Following a protracted negotiation period over his 2019 contract, Bottas said last year that he wanted a quick resolution to talks, with a new deal for 2021 being announced in early August. But heading into the new season, Bottas said he was in no hurry to open talks over a deal for 2022, acknowledging the advantage the team has by keeping two seats free. “I’m honestly in no rush for that,” Bottas said following the launch of Mercedes’ new W12 car ahead of the 2021 season. “I kind of get it. If … [Read more...] about Bottas in “no rush” to discuss new Mercedes F1 contract

We will see just how much there is on March 11. The reborn Jeep Grand Wagoneer is almost here. A livestream event revealing the full-size SUV will take place on March 11, and to remind us of that, Jeep dropped another set of teaser photos on its social media channels giving us a taste of what to expect. The latest images portray a very luxurious machine that apparently loves chrome. The bold grille certainly looks more prominent than the one used on the Grand Wagoneer Concept , both in size and appearance. The headlights also appear a bit larger, but the width-spanning white LED strip that was atop the grille on the concept is gone. Somehow, we suspect the chrome grille will still garner all kinds of attention. Speaking of which, a close-up image shows a chrome McIntosh speaker grille looking quite similar to what we saw on the concept. The concept's dash housed a pair of these prominent round speakers, which suggests the production SUV could well have a dash close … [Read more...] about Jeep Grand Wagoneer Teasers Reveal An Abundance Of Chrome And Leather

Dubai – The Black Falcon Mercedes-AMG GT3 (#2, Abdulaziz Al Faisal / Hubert Haupt / Yelmer Buurman / Gabriele Piana) has won the 2018 Hankook 24H Dubai, the 13th running of the annual event that, at one point, had looked likely to be won by the sister #3 entry.
