Every racer dreams of Formula 1 but the chances of success are very low. Endurance racing provides an alternate path to an “open wheel” career.

PRAGA R1 IS THE FIRST AFFORDABLE RACE CAR OF THE 21ST CENTURY Same as LMP cars, the R1 was built around a carbon fibre monocoque while its price is comparable to tubular frame cars. R1 was designed for endurance racing where safety, reliability and easy maintenance are the key factors. Praga has paired with C2i carbon specialist and produced a monocoque which easily passed FIA CN regulations. The car is incredibly easy to drive and gives you the confidence to push harder in an effort to find the true limits of an aerodynamically efficient car. ONE OF THE MOST AFFORDABLE SERIES IN THE WORLD We know what it costs to race. You spend money on a car, but that is where which can often stretch the budget.

  • Renault Sport Technologies and Michelin Evaluating 17- and 18-Inch Tyres
    Clermont-Ferrand (France), October 31, 2014 Renault Sport Technologies and Michelin evaluating 17- and 18-inch tyres Renault Sport Technologies and Michelin share the same vision that motorsport permits innovative technologies to be fostered in a competitive environment with a view to achieving closer ties with the technologies that are available to the motoring public. Accordingly, the two partners are currently exploring the feasibility of switching to 18- and 17-inch tyres for the Formula Renault 3.5 Formula Renault 2.0 championships respectively from 2016. An initial test session based on Formula Renault 3.5 cars was carried out at Valencia, Spain, followed by a second featuring Formula Renault 2.0 cars at Barcelona, again in Spain. Given the positive results achieved at these tests, Renault Sport Technologies and Michelin are pleased to announce their intention to pursue this joint-development programme, and further sessions are planned over the months ahead. Since January, the collaboration between Renault Sport Technologies and Michelin has enabled the two companies to collect a significant amount of data after completing several hundred kilometres in testing. The two entities are carefully studying the results of this groundwork in order to obtain a thorough understanding of the repercussions any changes in tyre dimensions might have for the drivers, as well as in terms of grip and suspension performance. As far as factors such as top speed, road holding, tyre wear and the wear of other components are concerned, the early conclusions are positive. Despite requiring a certain number of small modifications, the cars feature a more modern look and benefit from enhanced cornering performance.

  • 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".

Such is the popularity of the latter series that the entry was large enough for the Post89 and Pre90 Classes to each have their own qualifying sessions and races. Therefore, during the course of the day, Formula Fordsters took to the track on no less than 5 occasions. As those involved left the circuit at the end of the afternoon, they had plenty of drama to reflect on, not least because fluctuating weather conditions meant the tarmac had varying levels of grip each time the cars left the Assembly Area.
