This year the event was run for us by HRC Events a sister organisation to the Historic Racing Club, the club that held the licence for the Hampton Downs circuit up until it was sold to Tony Quin. Tim Hill of HRC Events was in charge, assisted by his boss Chris Watson. The format was simple, a driver briefing, a slow drive for three laps of the circuit with a cou- ple of stops at key points to discuss the racing line, apex’s and why the helpful cones were placed where they were. To assist drivers, HRC had provided three instructors who were availa- ble to sit in the passengers seat for a small dona- tion to a charity.

  • Wisconsin Lemon Law for Purchases Made Before March 1, 2014
    Wisconsin Lemon Law for purchases made before March 1, 2014. If the new motor vehicle you bought or leased turns out to be a "lemon," the manufacturer has to replace it free or refund the price (minus a reasonable amount for mileage/usage). What is a "lemon"? A new vehicle that is no more than a year old and still under warranty is classified as a "lemon" if: It has a serious defect the dealer can't fix in four tries, or It has one or many defects that prevent you from using it for 30 days or more (the 30 days need not be consecutive) What is a defect? A defect (or a nonconformity) covered by the Lemon Law must seriously affect the use, value or safety of your vehicle and must be covered by the warranty. Conditions that result from abuse, neglect or unauthorized modification or alteration of the motor vehicle by a consumer do not qualify as defects the manufacturer must repair under the law. An irritating rattle may not be "serious" enough to make your car eligible for a Lemon Law claim. Your vehicle stalling or not running might be. What vehicles are covered? The law covers any new car, truck, motorcycle or motor home, or other motor-driven vehicle, including demonstrator or executive-driven vehicles, that are purchased, leased, or transferred to a consumer in Wisconsin. It does not cover vehicles purchased in other states or via the internet that are delivered outside Wisconsin. The law does not apply to mopeds, semitrailers or to trailers designed for use in combination with a truck or a truck tractor.

  • Hot Wheels UCL and Group Lotus: Celebrating Colin Chapman's Legacy of Engineering Innovation
    The official industry newsletter of Lotus Engineering Issue 23 November/December 2007 UCL and Group Lotus: Celebrating Colin Chapman’s legacy of engineering innovation Hot Wheels Lotus Engineering Change the Rules Welcome Sometimes it’s great to see what happens when anything goes. The business of designing and engineering cars is a constant balancing act. Many factors influence the final product: market and customer requirements affect form and function, legislation is an unavoidable factor, engineering feasibility and manufacturing practically have to be considered. There are many more, not least cost – a product can only be successful if it works on a commercial basis. This careful balancing act is something that Lotus understands – it is critical for us to make a successful business out of niche volume cars – and it is something that our engineering clients value. It is incredibly important and at the heart of the work we do. But great things can also happen when talented designers and engineers operate outside the normal, ‘real-world’ constraints. The Tokyo motor show allows the Japanese Peter Morgan industry to play with technology. As ever, this year, there were many weird and wonderful examples. 10 Closer to home, the awesome Lotus Concept for Hot Wheels is the glorious result of Lotus Design being given the creative freedom to design a futuristic car to be made into a 1:64 scale toy car. Steven Crijns describes how his concept came to be. Although, if ever there was an article that was all about looking at the pictures, this is it. Sadly it won’t be on sale until next year, so too late for my Christmas list.
