After consulting registered competitors, the Panel has added a 7th round on 27/6/15 at WSID in Sydney. The discipline of Rallysprinting is considered strategically important by the Rally Panel, as it is our number one gateway event for new competitors. The State championship is back. The panel has devoted much energy and resources into this area, and the 2015 championship is showing great signs. Bega has returned for 2015, as well as a new event in Glen Innes, which saw 51 entries on 28/3/15. The panel is aware of another landmark state championship event which will most likely return for 2016, and are very excited by that. We look forward to releasing the 2016 calendar later in the year. The DRS in 2015 has been split into 2, which allows for 4WD turbo cars. Whilst numbers in the DRS4 component are up, the participation in the 2WD sections is lower than last year at this stage. Number in Hyundai series are also down, but we are aware of at least 3 crews who are planning on contesting the later rounds.

  • Investigation Into the the Accident of Richard Hammond
    Investigation into the accident of Richard Hammond Accident involving RICHARD HAMMOND (RH) On 20 SEPTEMBER 2006 At Elvington Airfield, Halifax Way, Elvington YO41 4AU SUMMARY 1. The BBC Top Gear programme production team had arranged for Richard Hammond (RH) to drive Primetime Land Speed Engineering’s Vampire jet car at Elvington Airfield, near York, on Wednesday 20th September 2006. Vampire, driven by Colin Fallows (CF), was the current holder of the Outright British Land Speed record at 300.3 mph. 2. Runs were to be carried out in only one direction along a pre-set course on the Elvington runway. Vampire’s speed was to be recorded using GPS satellite telemetry. The intention was to record the maximum speed, not to measure an average speed over a measured course, and for RH to describe how it felt. 3. During the Wednesday morning RH was instructed how to drive Vampire by Primetime’s principals, Mark Newby (MN) and CF. Starting at about 1 p.m., he completed a series of 6 runs with increasing jet power and at increasing speed. The jet afterburner was used on runs 4 to 6, but runs 4 and 5 were intentionally aborted early. 4. The 6th run took place at just before 5 p.m. and a maximum speed of 314 mph was achieved. This speed was not disclosed to RH. 5. Although the shoot was scheduled to end at 5 p.m., it was decided to apply for an extension to 5:30 p.m. to allow for one final run to secure more TV footage of Vampire running with the after burner lit.

  • Regularity Rally Is Just the Place to Exercise a Classic Car
    9/5/2019 Chasing the Terre di Canossa Rally across Tuscany Search MAY 08, 2019 at 15:40 By: BRANDON TURKUS Regularity rally is just the place to exercise a classic car. Competitive outlets for classic car owners are few and far between. There’s the concours circuit, which requires fastidiousness and extreme attention to detail, while track work – be it at the local street circuit or the drag strip – puts extreme strain on a vehicle’s mechanicals and comes with the risk of a crash. What’s a classic car owner to do if he wants to feel the rush of competition, but doesn’t want to risk his ride any more than he would simply driving down the road? The best option is regularity rally, a competitive event where instead of trying to get from A to B as fast as possible, drivers are trying to complete a route as close to a target time as possible. It’s an event ready made for classic cars, putting as much strain on their mechanicals as any other scenic drive, while allowing their owners to get out and enjoy several days at the wheel. We discovered that after two days of driving in the Terre di Canossa rally, a regularity rally that runs annually through Tuscany’s stunning Italian terrain. The rally is organised by Canossa Events, a company that made its name setting up major celebrations for Ferrari. Its ngerprints are all over multiple Ferrari cavalcades in both Italy and the Middle East, along with driving tours across the Italian peninsula.

As a show about cars and car culture it can be seen, and dismissed, as a gratuitous celebration of ‘combustion masculinity.’ However, its irony, humour and nostalgia combine to highlight that this way of being male lies in the past. Focusing on Top Gear series 13 (June-August 2009) it is argued that the essence of combustion masculinity lies not only in risk and competition but law. However, the show goes further. In its excessive performance of combustion masculinity it engages in gentle critique. In the post-industrial era where the motor vehicle’s cultural status is declining Top Gear is itself a vehicle allowing combustion masculinity to be overtaken by less risky, less violent and more lawful ways of being male. Keywords: automobility, law, Top Gear, masculinity, irony INTRODUCTION Scholarship on ‘automobility’ has been broad, defining automobility as not just machine-human interactions but the cultural and physical spaces constructed for and by automobiles.2 Within this context exploration of automobility has often considered gender.

  • Costs and Charges: Regulators Move Into Top Gear
    Costs and charges: regulators move into top gear Evolving Investment Management Regulation 2017 KPMG International kpmg.com 1 Evolving Investment Management Regulation: Succeeding in an uncertain landscape This article forms part of the Evolving Investment Management Regulation report, available at: kpmg.com/eimr Driven by political, regulator, investor and media attention, costs and charges now sit squarely at the top of the reform agenda in the investment and fund management industry. If there was any doubt about the importance of the issue, recent moves by IOSCO and ESMA have removed it. Within Europe, the implementation of MiFID II will bring about fundamental changes to industry commission practices, and a number of other countries, too, have introduced new rules in this area. A number of regulators continue to scrutinize the level of charges and their disclosure. “Closet tracking” remains under the spotlight and the UK, for example, is applying more intensive scrutiny to the level of charges for “active” fund management. Disclosure of the remuneration of senior management and portfolio managers continues to attract regulatory attention. © 2017 KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity.

After weeks of speculation about the identity of our tame racing driver, the Stig finally summons the courage to remove his helmet in front of a studio audience. In the opening episode of Series 14, the presenters were filmed taking a road trip in three grand tourers they had chosen across the country of Romania. Further complaints were also made in regards to a scene in which Clarkson donned a pork pie hat and called it a "gypsy" hat, while commenting: "I'm wearing this hat so the gypsies think I am [another gypsy].
