On Thursday night, June 25th, three 968s, three 944 S2 cabriolets (how rare is that?), and at least three Boxsters attended Porsche Pride at Fatburger at the Shadow Lake Towne Center in Papillion. It wasnʹt long before the heat forced us inside, which wasnʹt a bad thing. Everyone was able to satisfy their hunger with delicious burgers, fries, onion rings, and of course, Fatburgerʹs great shakes. It was neat to meet some new people and to sit and chat with some different friends. If you werenʹt able to make it out for this one, youʹre in luck.

    Audi MediaInfo Audi motorsport history From quattro to e-tron Audi positions itself as the sportiest manufacturer in the premium segment and has a perfect basis to do so: motorsport. Sportiness, advanced technology and emotive design are the basis for the success of the Audi brand. The genes for this have their origin in racing – since 1980. The success story began with the Audi quattro Excluding the era before the Second World War including the legendary Auto Union Grand Prix race cars in the 1930s, the motorsport history of AUDI AG began with the Audi quattro. The dominant victories and two manufacturers’ and two drivers’ titles achieved with the “original quattro” in the World Rally Championship between 1982 and 1984 were an important factor in the market success of quattro drive. quattro victorious in circuit racing as well After Audi had turned rally racing upside down and stormed up Pikes Peak (USA) with the Sport quattro in record time on three successive occasions, Audi made quattro drive fit for circuit racing as well: initially with the Audi 200 quattro and the Audi 90 quattro IMSA GTO in the United States, in 1990 and 1991 with two championship titles for the Audi V8 quattro in the German Touring Car Championship (DTM) – and ultimately also with the A4 in the production- based super touring cars.

  • Using the Adventures of a Comic Book Motorsports Hero As an Approach To
    SPORT IN HISTORY, 2017 https://doi.org/10.1080/17460263.2017.1358655 Engines at top speed! Using the adventures of a comic book motorsports hero as an approach to understanding recent French history Sébastien Laffage-Cosniera, Noemi García-Arjonab and Christian Viviera aU-Sports Besançon, University of Franche-Comté, Besançon, France; bUFR STAPS Rennes, University of Rennes 2, Rennes, France ABSTRACT Jean Graton created a series of comic books called Michel Vaillant, and its motorsports hero bore the same name. Michel Vaillant made his first appearance in 1957 in the weekly Tintin. Young French boys who loved adventure, sports and car racing greeted this publication with great enthusiasm. We studied the first series of Michel Vaillant, composed of 16 comic books produced in the 1960s. We have departed from traditional approaches and have based our method on the analysis of the sources of Graton’s inspiration. We link these sources to the comics’ text bubbles, visual signs and iconic meanings of the drawings. Our analysis of the comics’ iconography based on the establishment of a mass culture dedicated to the automobile brings to light the existence of an urge to go beyond the limits of tradition. Our research highlights that the success of Michel Vaillant is due, in the main, to the series’ detailed knowledge of the automobile sports industry, and to the myths of speed, youth and progress that it promulgates – myths in which its young male readers could see themselves reflected and which would also prepare them for the future.

The alternative drive concept combines an electric drivetrain with a high-voltage battery and a highly efficient energy converter for the first time. Cross-country rallying will be the spearhead of the factory motorsport commitment in the future. “A multifaceted commitment to motorsport is and will remain an integral part of Audi’s strategy,” says Markus Duesmann, Chairman of the Board of Management at AUDI AG. “We want to continue demonstrating the brand’s slogan ‘Vorsprung durch Technik’ in international top-level motorsport in the future and develop innovative technologies for our road cars. The toughest rally in the world is the perfect stage for this.” After many international successes in a wide range of categories, Audi is thus returning to rallying, which marked the beginning of the brand’s successful history in motorsport.

  • Dossier De Presse
    DOSSIER DE PRESSE 1 MICHEL VAILLANT A MONACO Grimaldi Forum Monaco Espace INDIGO (Entrée libre et gratuite) Du 4 au 9 mai 2017 Cette exposition a pour but de rendre hommage aux deux plus grands mythes de l’histoire automobile que sont Monaco et Michel Vaillant. En effet, au même titre que l’oeuvre de Jean Graton, Monaco est devenu un symbole mythique de la course auto. Le Grand Prix de Monaco ou le Rallye Monte-Carlo ont apporté au sport automobile des lieux-culte, associés à d’inoubliables exploits humains. Ces théâtres de la dramaturgie de la compétition automobile ont été représentés par Jean Graton tout au long de son oeuvre Michel Vaillant, devenue en soixante ans, la bande dessinée culte de l’aventure automobile. Monaco fut représenté maintes fois par Jean Graton dans les aventures de Michel Vaillant. On peut observer, au fil des 70 albums des exploits du plus célèbre pilote de la BD, l’évolution du circuit le plus célèbre du monde. Le voyage est fantastique, car ce regard croisé entre un lieu et une oeuvre offre une vision originale, créative, artistique et technologique d’une aventure sportive et artistique. L’exposition présentera dans l’Espace Indigo : 20 planches originales et 20 Art Strips, dans une scénographie originale Définition des Art Strips chez Michel Vaillant : En manipulant les planches originales de Michel Vaillant, Dominique Graton, Directrice artistique de la Fondation Jean Graton, a été interpellée par le fait que la bande dessinée est le seul art où l’on réduit le travail de l’artiste pour le publier.
