  • Hier Kommt Kurt – Kurt Thiim – Fahrerportrait TWC 2019
    Hier kommt Kurt – Kurt Thiim – Fahrerportrait TWC 2019 22. Mai 2019, Rainer Braun Wenn Entertainer Frank Zander bei den DTM-Rennen der 90er-Jahre auf der Avus zu Gast war, trällerte er immer gerne zur Freude des Publikums seiner Heimatstadt Berlin aus einem seiner beliebten Spaß-Songs diese leicht abgewandelte Passage: „Hier kommt Kurt, heute mal mit Helm und auch mit Gurt, einfach Kurt, der nicht quengelt und nicht murrt“… Die über Strecken-Mikrofon vorgetragene Zander-Botschaft galt Mercedes-Pilot Kurt Thiim, der auf der Avus oft genug einen Startplatz in Reihe 1 bezog. Tatsächlich trifft vor allem die zweite Zeile dieses Spaß-Reims punktgenau eine Eigenschaft des Rennfahrers Kurt Thiim, die von all seinen Teamchefs stets geschätzt wurde. Keine Politik, kein Maulen über dies und das, keine Intrigen. Kurt war und ist einfach ein ruhiger, bodenständiger und fairer Zeitgenosse – und daran hat sich bis heute nichts geändert. Jetzt will der mittlerweile 60jährige Däne als Botschafter für Mercedes Classic nur noch den Kontakt zum Motorsport genießen und sich mit seinem Sohn Nicki über dessen Rennerfolge als Jung-Profi freuen. Dass sich der Mercedes-Hero der „alten DTM“ auch noch den einen oder anderen Start in seinem ehemaligen Arbeitsgerät gönnt, macht ihn schon seit einigen Jahren zum Bestandteil der Tourenwagen Classics. So auch 2019, wo im Mercedes 190 E von Roland Hölscher (Start-Nr. 201) einige Male antreten möchte. Wie viele seiner Kollegen hat auch Kurt seine Karriere im Kartsport begonnen. Nach dem Gewinn der dänischen Meisterschaft ging es über die Formel Ford und die Formel Super V gleich weiter in die Formel 3, die er 1984 mit dem Gewinn der Deutschen Meisterschaft abschloss.

  • A Perfect Start to Formula E's 'Season 6' for the Connected MICHELIN Pilot
    MEDIA INFORMATION ABB FIA Formula E Championship 2019/2020 First round: Diriyah E-Prix A perfect start to Formula E’s ‘Season 6’ for the connected MICHELIN Pilot Sport The two races of the 2019/2020 ABB FIA Formula E Championship’s opening meeting in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, saw Michelin deliver another demonstration of the overall performance of the MICHELIN Pilot Sport which made its debut in the series in 2018/2019. This season sees the MICHELIN Pilot Sport become the first connected tyre to be used in motor racing thanks to Michelin Track Connect which features a sensor positioned inside the cover. The weekend in Saudi Arabia effectively saw Michelin inaugurated a new system to monitor the tyre pressures ran by the championship’s all-electric single-seater race cars. Michelin Track Connect for Formula E allows tyre pressures to be monitored automatically and reliably – whether hot or cold. This new solution addresses a demand expressed by motorsport’s governing body, the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile), which has incorporated its use into Formula E’s regulations, as well as by the teams and the championship’s promoter. Michelin Track Connect for Formula E uses a Michelin-designed and developed sensor located in a specific housing inside the MICHELIN Pilot Sport tyres that feature in the series. The data it collects is transmitted in encrypted form to the FIA and Michelin, who are the only recipients. Not only does this ensure that the information remains confidential, but it also allows the FIA to check minimum tyre pressures are adhered to.

April 2012 – Vor einer eindrucksvollen Kulisse von 142.000 Zuschauern (am Wochenende) startete die DTM auf dem Hockenheimring mit einem turbulenten Rennen furios in ihre neue Ära. Der neue Audi A5 DTM startete von der Pole-Position und belegte nach 40 Runden den dritten Platz. Damit wiederholte sich die DTM-Geschichte: 1990 holte Hans-Joachim Stuck in Zolder beim ersten DTM-Rennen von Audi mit dem V8 quattro den dritten Platz – am Ende des Jahres wurde er Meister. 2004 belegte Mattias Ekström beim ersten Einsatz des Audi A4 DTM in Hockenheim ebenfalls den dritten Platz. Auch der Schwede holte am Ende den Titel. Mattias Ekström startete mit seinem Red Bull Audi A5 DTM auf dem Hockenheimring von der Pole-Position und übernahm am Start sofort die Führung, die er bis zur fünften Runde hielt, ehe er sich in Kurve zwei verbremste, hinter Jamie Green und kurz darauf auch hinter Gary Paffett zurückfiel. In der Folge konzentrierte sich der Schwede aus dem Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline darauf, den dritten Platz zu sichern, der in diesem Jahr wie in der Formel 1 mit 15 Punkten belohnt wird. „Wen man von der Pole-Position startet, ist Platz drei sicherlich nicht das, was man sich erträumt“, erklärte Mattias Ekström.

For more than 115 years Renault has embraced the challenge of motorsport in multiple guises. It recognised the value of competitive activities for technical and commercial gain: in December 1898 Louis Renault drove the Type A Voiturette up the steepest street in Paris, the rue Lepic. The first orders for the ground-breaking car with direct drive flooded in. In 1902 the nimble, lightweight Type K, fitted with Renault’s first 4-cylinder engine, took victory in the Paris-Vienna rally. Again, many more cars were sold. Going through the years, in 1977 Renault introduced the first-ever turbocharged car to F1.
