  • Andreas Bakkerud Testet Extreme E

    Andreas Bakkerud Testet Extreme E

    09-10-2020 07:30 CEST Andreas Bakkerud testet Extreme E I forrige uke fikk Andreas Bakkerud sin første test med den nye elektriske rallybilen som skal brukes i mesterskapet Extreme E. Bergenseren er aktuell som en av førerne i mesterskapet, som starter med et løp i Saudi-Arabia i slutten av mars. Extreme E er et nytt bilsportmesterskap hvor det skal kjøres med elektriske biler på steder hvor klimaendringer har gjort seg gjeldende for å skape oppmerksomhet rundt global oppvarming, og vise at elektrisk mobilitet kan være en del av løsningen for planeten. Løpene vil ha etapper som minner litt om Dakar Rally, og en kvinnelig og en mannlig deltaker skal dele på hver bil. En rekke velkjente team fra internasjonal motorsport er klare som X44, eid av Formel 1-verdensmester Lewis Hamilton, Andretti Autosport, Abt Sportsline og Chip Ganassi Racing. Flere førere er allerede klare som svenskene Mattias Ekström og Timmy Hansen, amerikanerne Kyle Leduc og Sara Price, og Katie Munnings fra Storbritannia. En annen som er aktuell er den norske rallycrossføreren Andreas Bakkerud. I forrige uke fikk han teste bilen, som heter Odyssey 21, for første gang. - Jeg har ventet på denne testen i lang tid, og selv om solen var lav og det var støv overalt, så var dette utrolig moro. Extreme E er annerledes enn motorsport jeg er vant til, og krever også en annen kjørestil. Det var utrolig kult med alle de forskjellige knappene og innstillingene, sa Bakkerud etter testen. Bakkerud, som i fjor ble nummer to i VM i rallycross, ble fort vant til bilen.

    Wrestling DIVISION I

    Wrestling DIVISION I 2014 Highlights Penn State completes final-session comeback to earn fourth title in a row — Before the finals, Penn State head coach Cael Sanderson felt pretty good about having the weight of a team title on the backs of his two senior stars. They both delivered. North Carolina State’s Nick Gwiazdowski and Oklahoma State’s Alex Dieringer certainly helped the cause as well. In order to win the team championship, Minnesota needed Tony Nelson and Dylan Ness to win their finals bouts. However, Gwiazdowski completed a pair of third-period takedowns to beat Nelson in the 285-pound final and Ness could not get by Dieringer in the 157-pound title bout. The first of two Penn State seniors, Ed Ruth, beat Maryland’s Jimmy Sheptock in the 184-pound final. It put the Nittany Lions in front by 1.5 points. The finals started at 174 pounds and finished with 165 pounds. When Ruth’s teammate, fellow senior David Taylor, took the mat, it was academic - Penn State had its fourth consecutive NCAA championship in the books. Taylor fashioned the final tally, beating Oklahoma State’s Tyler Caldwell, 6-0, in the night’s final match at 165 pounds. “People don’t understand how difficult it is when you walk off this stage when you lose and how much better it feels when you win,” Taylor said. Taylor gave credit to senior teammate James English, a 149-pounder who finished his career as an All-American, one of seven for Penn State, who finished with 109.5 points.

    THE CHOICE of CHAMPIONS in 2016 Leadership Confirmed with Victories in F1, Indycar, Motogp, Le Mans, Nascar Among Others

    BREMBO: THE CHOICE OF CHAMPIONS in 2016 Leadership confirmed with victories in F1, IndyCar, MotoGP, Le Mans, Nascar Among Others DETROIT, (Dec. 8, 2016) – With championships in F1, IndyCar, World Endurance, Le Mans, MotoGP and World Superbike, Brembo, the leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance brake systems, reaffirmed its technological leadership in 2016. Brembo will exhibit the latest in competition braking technology at booth #3631 at the PRI Show in Indianapolis this week, December 8-10. Forty-one years ago Brembo’s first world championship was celebrated as Niki Lauda won his first F1 crown with Ferrari in 1975. Brembo was hoping for great results in 2016 and their teams did not disappoint. Brembo once again provided the stopping power for the 2016 F1 Championship with Brembo teams winning all 21 races this year. This makes it 22 World Championship Drivers’ and 26 World Championship Constructors’ titles in the past 41 years. In addition, Brembo continued for the fifth-straight year as the exclusive supplier of brake systems for the IndyCar Series with France’s Simon Pagenaud winning his first IndyCar crown in the #22 Team Penske Chevrolet. When one thinks of Brembo, sports car racing immediately comes to mind and rightfully so. In 2016, Brembo won its 24th overall victory in 24 years at the 24 Hours of Le Mans as the #2 Porsche 919 Hybrid (Dumas/Jani/Lieb) topped the podium. In addition, Brembo-equipped teams were crowned champions in LMP2 (Signatech), GTE-Pro (Ford) and GTE-Am (Ferrari). The GTE-Pro win by the Ford GT on Brembo brakes was historic as the team defended a hard fought win in much the same style over Ferrari as they did 50 years ago.

    Wrestling DIVISION II

    Wrestling DIVISION II Highlights Nebraska-Kearney pins way to second title; pair of bonus-point wins clinch it for Lopers: TThree Nebraska-Kearney wrestlers won individual championships in the Division II Wrestling Championship March 9 and 10, as the Lopers pulled away from St. Cloud State and claimed their second title. The rivals started the fi nal session of the two-day competition tied at 91 points, and each had three fi nalists left to determine the meet’s outcome. The fi rst of several big fi nal matches hit the stage when the 133-pounders climbed the steps at host Colorado State-Pueblo’s Massari Arena. St. Cloud State’s Andrew Pokorny faced off against Upper Iowa’s Trevor Franklin, the defending champion. Franklin took a 2-0 lead with a takedown in the closing seconds of the fi rst period. It provided the diff erence in a 3-2 win, and second national title, for Franklin, who also completed an unbeaten season. The next half-hour belonged to Nebraska-Kearney. Dalton Jensen (141 pounds) and Raufeon Stots (149 pounds) won their weight classes, Jensen with a dramatic pin. T.J. Hepburn, a three-time All-American, then took the mat against West Liberty’s Jarrod Shaw. Barely two minutes into the 157-pound fi nal, Hepburn’s relentless attack fi nished with a cradle and a fall. Two cradles, three individual champions and the team title were headed back to Kearney. “The last half-hour I was having a hard time catching my breath,” said Hepburn (38-3) after his pin.
