SI had the right idea, but despite his driving skills, Penske was not to become a legendary driver. He parked himself shortly thereafter to buy his first car dealership. His leadership skills and passion for racing have made “RP” the most successful team owner in American motorsports history with 14 Indy 500 wins and more than 400 wins in Indy cars, Sports cars, NASCAR and Formula One. The most recent additions to the Penske Racing effort are a pair of Penske Porsche RS Spyders in the American Le Mans Series. The team debuted with a victory in the final race of the Magic 2005 season. After capturing the 2006 ALMS team and driver championships in the LMP2 class, the Penske Porsches have dominated much of the 2007 ALMS season, taking the outright, overall race wins at Long Beach; Houston; Salt Lake City; Lime Rock; Mid-Ohio and Road America.

  • Michelin Shines in Sebring Race in July
    PRESS INFORMATION MICHELIN SHINES IN SEBRING RACE IN JULY Sebring, Fla. (July 18, 2020) – Michelin celebrated the rollout of the new MICHELIN® Pilot® Sport All Season 4 tire and the next step in IMSA’s continued return to racing as Michelin delivered performance for a wide range of cars at the storied Sebring International Raceway. “This weekend marked a big step forward in IMSA’s return to racing as we had both the Michelin Pilot Challenge and IMSA Prototype Challenge races in addition to the WeatherTech Championship which made for a robust race weekend. Through the two days we had a wide range of conditions to prove our capabilities,” said Tony Ménard, director of motorsport, Michelin North America. Cadillac, Chevrolet Corvette, and Lexus claimed the respective class wins in the two-hour, 40 minute Cadillac Grand Prix of Sebring while Porsche, Ferrari and BMW all claimed podiums. “Having the teams in all the series perform so well is very satisfying. We are excited to start seeing some fans at races and have the opportunity to show the IMSA manufacturers, teams, promoters, fans and our dealers how our on-track technologies are carried into our Michelin Pilot family of tires. It is important for us to be able to connect with all those audiences, while respecting the health and safety protocols in place that allow us to resume the season,” said Ménard. Michelin Motorsport Post-Race Notes Package: Sebring International Raceway • Wide Range of Conditions: The MICHELIN® Pilot® Sport All Season 4 tire, as an all- season tire, must work in a wide range of conditions and climates.

  • WRC Rallye D'espagne
    MEDIA INFORMATION November 2013 2013 FIA World Endurance Championship Round 7: 6 Hours of Shanghai Victory for the N°1 AUDI R18 e-tron quattro/MICHELIN, as Tom Kristensen/Loïc Duval/Allan McNish secure the 2013 WEC Drivers’ title After the torrential rain that forced the organisers to halt the recent 6 Hours of Fuji after just 16 laps, all spent behind the safety car, Audi Sport Team Joest and Toyota Motorsport GmbH were both eager to join battle once again this weekend in China. In contrast to the conditions encountered in Japan, the 6 Hours of Shanghai was marked by clear skies and warm weather (air temperature: approximately 25°C, and track temperatures up to 30°C) which enabled the teams to produce yet another thrilling show, with the outcome only settled with less than half-an-hour remaining. The pole-winning N°7 Toyota TS030-Hybrid of Wurz/Lapierre carved out an early lead, while the N°8 sister car – with Antony Davidson in command – engaged in a fight with André Lotterer in the N°1 Audi R18 e-tron quattro. On Lap 10, the British driver succeeded in finding a way past to ease into second place. The two Japanese prototypes then proceeded to dominate the top of the leaderboard until the eventful 143rd lap (190 laps completed in total). After 4½ hours of racing, the N°8 Toyota TS030-Hybrid was suddenly eliminated when its front- right suspension failed under barking for Turn 6. This promoted the N°1 Audi to second spot, approximately half-a-minute behind the N°7 Toyota, thanks to a strong stint from Benoît Tréluyer in the German car, as well as to a couple of time-consuming „moments‟ for the Japanese team‟s Nicolas Lapierre while overtaking slower competitors.

You 2 seemed to like the mix of information and news and it’s given us something to live up to with this, our second issue. As the largest independent distributor of turbochargers in the world, we aim to support the factors and vehicle repairers who depend on us to supply replacement turbos quickly and efficiently, and to provide advice on all aspects of turbocharging. Some of the facts and figures that we quote in this issue illustrate just how many turbocharged vehicles there are on the road today. Sooner or later, they’re all going to need some turbo attention! Inside Revolution 2 In this issue, you’ll find an article outlining the basic principle of turbocharging. It is surprisingly simple in its basic form, but technology is moving very fast, as you will see in our profile of BorgWarner Turbo Systems. We also look at the success of the Garrett®-boosted Audi R8 in June’s Le Mans 24 hour race and, by way of contrast, we see how turbocharged diesel power is becoming popular in the marina (that’s the harbour, not the seventies’ Morris car!) Win a Silverstone Track Day BTN offers you the opportunity to spend a day driving at Silverstone!
