Signed:……………………………….. i I would like to acknowledge and thank the following people for their assistance in producing this dissertation: Christopher Lowe Hannah Neate Mark Toogood Richard Randle Simon Bonser ii Abstract The FIA Formula E Championship started in 2014 and is the world’s first fully electric international motor racing series. This study used a quantitative and qualitative survey, distributed at Oulton Park, Donington Park and through relevant social media outlets, to assess what type of supporter Formula E (FE) attracts, whether they think FE can implement their sustainability and Electric Vehicle (EV) expansion aims, and assessing whether external factors influence attitudes towards FE and its sustainability. This study demonstrates that most of the sample FE supporters engage with other motorsport disciplines and cannot be treated as an isolated group. The study found that independent variables such as respondent age, nationality, level of sustainability concern and intensity of FE support can impact the sample population attitudes towards EVs, FE and sustainability. Despite an overall positive and optimistic attitude, a large proportion of the sample population was not convinced by FE’s sustainability and EV expansion aims, often citing underdeveloped technology, high EV purchase prices and charging infrastructure issues as reasons. However, the majority of the sample population did agree that if FE could develop EV technology their opinions towards EVs would improve. These findings imply that FE has the potential to increase EV development and market expansion by improving the technical aspects and public image associated with EVs. iii Table of Contents 1.

It’s been a year of both triumph and, unfortunately, tragedy and in this issue we take time out to remember María de Villota, whose passing in October left a deep void not just in motor sport but in all our hearts. María’s bravery following her F1 testing accident and the dedication she displayed afterwards – not only in promoting female involvement in motor sport but also safety on the road and track – will be missed. Elsewhere, it was a year of great success for women competitors and in this edition we look at Lucile Cypriano’s victory in the VW and commission-supported shoot-out for a place in next year’s VW Scirocco R-Cup and reveal how the FIA European Rallycross Championship has become a haven for female racers. It’s been a great year for CONTACTS: women in all forms of motor sport and IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS ABOUT THIS NEWSLETTER OR we look forward to even more in 2014!

The theoretical framework of this paper is based on the concepts which position motorsport in a context of sustainability at both global and team levels within the borders of systems theory. Training and racing activities of the MXStar team based in Uppsala (Sweden) are described in the paper from the environmental perspective. Changing of the team’s technical performance as well as their behavioural models has certain driving and restraining forces that are analyzed in particular in the discussion part of the paper. Recommendations for the MXStar team have been developed in accordance with the results of detailed analysis of the team’s environmental impact. The authors concluded that environmental performance of motocross racing composes from technical and behavioural inputs of each participating team. In order to optimize the environmental impact of the motocross each team member has to be innovative in both perspectives. Keywords: environmental

  • Porsche 919 Hybrid English.Indd
    Porsche 919 Hybrid Return to top-level sport Porsche is making its comeback to the top-level motorsport arena: with the new 919 Hybrid the sports car brand is sending a platform for pioneering technology to the top category of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) with the undisputed seasonal highlight of the 24-hour Le Mans race. Porsche's reputation precedes it at this venue: with 16 overall victories under its belt, the brand holds the record for this, the most famous endurance race in the world. In 2014 Porsche is returning to the top-level class endurance race after a 16-year absence - namely Le Mans Prototypes (LMP1). Matthias Müller, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG explains: "The new and revolutionary efficiency regulations for this class were what prompted us to take this step. In 2014 it is not going to be the fastest contender who is going to win the sports car world championship and Le Mans, but the car that gets furthest with the defined amount of energy. And it is precisely this challenge that the automotive industry has to face. The 919 Hybrid is like a high speed research laboratory and the most complex racing car Porsche has ever built." The new WEC regulations for the LMP1 racing car gives engineers an unusual amount of leeway and demands pioneering technology, such as hybridisation, downsizing engines and consistent lightweight construction. This is all particularly relevant for the development of future generations of factory-spec sports cars. Maximum sporting performance and highest efficiency are at the heart of "Porsche Intelligent Performance".
