Ferrari overhauls chassis department ahead of 2021 F1 season
After a challenging 2020 campaign, where the Italian squad was hampered by a down-on-power engine and a car that was too draggy, it has finalised an overhaul of the way it operates. It will maintain a reporting structure underneath team principal Mattia Binotto with distinct heads of departments, but has decided to reorganise how its chassis department works. Following the departure of former chassis head Simone Resta to Haas at the end of last year, Enrico Cardile has been formally put in charge of that area. He will work as a department chief alongside power unit head Enrico Gualtieri, sporting director Laurent Mekies and supply chain head Gianmaria Fulgenzi. While the processes there will remain the same, Ferrari’s chassis department will be split up into four new areas – with the hope being that this will boost the ability of the team to make improvements. The four areas will be vehicle concept (headed by David Sanchez), chassis performance engineering (Enrico … [Read more...] about Ferrari overhauls chassis department ahead of 2021 F1 season
Grand Prix return to Africa “a priority” for Formula 1
F1 global director of race promotion Chloe Targett-Adams, who deals with event organisers, said that continent is top of the current wish list for new events. Reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton has stressed that Africa is where he would like the sport to go next. Former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone tried for many years to find a way to return to South Africa, which last hosted a round of the World Championship in 1993, and that desire has continued under Liberty Media’s management. While South Africa remains the most likely venue there has also been interest from other countries, notably Morocco, which hosted a race in 1958. “I completely agree with Lewis, Africa is a continent that we don't race in, and that is just wrong,” Targett-Adams told a Blackbook online seminar. “It's somewhere that we very much want, it's the priority. We've been in talks with possible options for a few years. “And we're hoping that ultimately, we will be able to achieve a race there in the … [Read more...] about Grand Prix return to Africa “a priority” for Formula 1
2022 Porsche 911 GT3 Debuts With Huge Wing, 502 HP, And New Suspension
It laps the Nurburgring in under 7 minutes, barely. The 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 is finally here after several teasers and lots of spy shots chronicling the model's development. It will go on sale in the US this fall, and Porsche will announce pricing details closer to that time. The heart of the new GT3 is the naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine that produces 502 horsepower (374 kilowatts) and 346 pound-feet (469 Newton-meters) of torque. The mill revs to 9,000 rpm and features six independent throttle bodies. The company uses a new set of pistons versus the version of this powerplant in the limited-run 2019 911 Speedster . Gallery: 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 11 Photos The 2022 911 GT3 comes standard with a seven-speed PDK. Buyers can also opt for a six-speed manual.

2017 Chevy Corvette Grand Sport priced from $66,445
Z06 Lite goes on sale in the U.S. this summer. Unpopular opinion: The base Corvette Stingray is better than the Z06. Hear me out. The 460-horsepower LT1 engine is plenty, and works really well with the standard car’s chassis – the Z06 just feels like total overkill by comparison. This new Grand Sport, then, should prove to be the real sweet spot of the range, using the base Stingray’s V8 with a host of Z06-esque aerodynamic and performance upgrades. Plus, we now know it’ll cost $66,445, which may be $11,000 more than the base Stingray, but it’s a full $13,000 less than the supercharged Z06. With the Grand Sport, you get new front fenders, a wider track, a wide body kit, an aero package for added downforce, an upgraded cooling package, an electronic limited-slip differential, and Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. If that doesn’t sound good enough, Chevrolet will also sell you a GS with the Z07 package, which adds outrageously grippy Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. Chevy says the … [Read more...] about 2017 Chevy Corvette Grand Sport priced from $66,445
