The i20 supermini gets a crossover makeover with eccentric styling. While we're patiently waiting for Hyundai to dip its toes into the pickup truck and performance segments with the Santa Cruz and that mid-engined sports car , the Asian brand is rolling out yet another crossover. Contrary to reports, the new Bayon is not actually significantly smaller than the Kona as the two have similar footprints. At 4.18 meters (164.5 inches) long, 1.77 meters (69.7 inches) wide, and 1.49 meters (58.6 inches) tall, the subcompact crossover is only a bit shorter than the facelifted Kona (4.21 meters / 165.9 inches) while being a little bit narrower and with a lower roofline. The wheelbase measures 2.58 meters (101.5 inches), a tad shorter than the Kona's, while the cargo capacity stands at 411 liters (14.5 cubic feet) or 1,205 liters (42.5 cubic feet) once you fold the rear seats. The load volume trumps the Kona with or without the bench down. Length Width Height … [Read more...] about 2021 Hyundai Bayon Revealed With Quirky Styling And Spacious Interior

Baguette and Tsukakoshi, who share the #17 Honda NSX-GT again in 2021, are 35 and 34 years old respectively and can boast a combined 19 seasons of GT500 experience. By contrast, three of Honda's other top class line-ups - Team Kunimitsu, ARTA and Nakajima Racing - have one driver with two seasons or less of top-class experience, and Team Mugen features rookie Toshiki Oyu alongside second-year driver Ukyo Sasahara. However, Baguette says that he and Tsukakoshi being the only 'all-veteran' driver pairing in the Honda stable has its benefits, likening their situation to that of vastly experienced Cerumo Toyota duo Hiroaki Ishiura and Yuji Tachikawa. "Of course I believe myself and Koudai can beat anybody else out there, and if you don’t think like that it’s better not to race," Baguette told Motorsport.com. "But Honda has done a strong job on the line-ups for the Bridgestone-tyre cars. All six drivers are really strong. "In 2019 one of our strengths was qualifying speed, … [Read more...] about Baguette: No qualms about being ‘Cerumo of Honda’

The 2015 GT Asia Series is at the mid-point of the season heading into Sepang where the series regulars will face a new challenge at the popular Malaysian circuit, the series’ first ever endurance round, an event which not only pushes many of the teams beyond the 60-minute races they are used to, but also comes with a double-points championship advantage! GT Asia Series and Sepang are no strangers, with the Asian region’s most successful GT series entering it’s sixth season with 10 rounds having been contested across the last five seasons on the 5.543-kilometre Formula One circuit.
