Highlight Der Woche: Top Gear Eps. 1 DMAX Programm Programmwoche 36, 01.09. bis 07.09.2012 Highlight der Woche: Top Gear Eps. 1 (16) Am Montag, 10.09.2012 um 20:15 Uhr Wehe wenn sie losgelassen: In der neuen Staffel testen die Jungs von "Top Gear" die tollsten Luxuskarossen - manchmal geht´s jedoch auch mit dem Mähdrescher in den Schnee oder dem Hubschrauber aufs Autodach… Die spektakulärsten Autos der Welt, Testfahrten auf dem Vulkan und jede Menge coole Sprüche: DMAX holt "Top Gear" - die Mutter aller Auto-Shows - nach Hause. Das weltweit erfolgreichste TV-Format rund ums Thema „fahrbarer Untersatz“ begeistert seine Zuschauer seit Jahren mit sensationellen Stunts, präzise recherchierten Beiträgen und gefürchteten Kfz-Kritiken. Mehr Leidenschaft fürs Auto geht nicht! Darin ist sich die riesige Fan-Gemeinde des Kult-Formats rund um den Globus einig. Ganz zu schweigen vom bissigen britischen Humor der Moderatoren Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond und James May. Die ironischen Kommentare der Auto-Experten sind eben nicht zu toppen. Kurzum: Top Gear ist Kult! Know-how, Enthusiasmus und Faszination - die preisgekrönte BBC-Produktion hat mit DMAX in Deutschland die perfekte Heimat gefunden. "Als würde die Queen einen Tanga unterm Rock tragen!" - die Vergleiche, die Jeremy Clarkson in dieser Episode zieht, grenzen an Majestätsbeleidung. Doch der Top Gear-Experte ist vom schicken Interieur des Jaguar XJ so begeistert, dass er etwas über die Stränge schlägt. Da die luxuriöse V8- Raubkatze außerdem mächtig Dampf unterm Kessel hat, macht es Jeremy einen Riesenspaß auf der britischen Insel von Küste zu Küste zu brettern. Weitere Highlights dieser Episode: Porsche 959 und Ferrari F40 im Vergleich, sowie ein 3,5 Millionen Euro teuer NASA-Mondbuggy. DMAX Programm Programmwoche 37, 08.09. bis 14.09.2012 Samstag, 08.09.2012 06:05 Uhr Wheels of Steel - Die besten Bikes der Welt Detroit Bros gegen Jason Kangas Chrom, Kraft und cooles Design - "Wheels of Steel" begleitet die Crème de la Crème der Custom-Bike-Konstruktion beim Duell Mann gegen Mann und Bike gegen Bike. Ausnahme-Konstrukteure messen sich in punkto Know-how, Kreativität und Leidenschaft und bauen beim Showdown vor laufender Kamera die heißesten Maschinen der Welt. Das Bike, mit dem die "Detroit Brothers" Dave und James Kaye in dieser Episode punkten wollen, hätte sicher auch in jedem "Mad Max"-Film eine gute Figur gemacht. Das Herzstück ihres "post-industriellen" Speedsters bildet ein getunter 1,7-Liter-Shovelhead-Motor. Aber auch ihr Kontrahent Jason Kangas wartet beim Konstruktions-Duell gegen die "Motor City-Brüder" mit einigen Extras auf. Mit einer zum Unterrohr umfunktionierten Vorderachse eines 34er Ford, einem "Frisco"-Tank und in Handarbeit gefertigten Gravuren, will er dem Publikum der Bike-Show in Sturgis die Entscheidung schwer machen. 06:55 Uhr Infomercial 08:50 Uhr Und täglich grüßt das Erdmännchen Manche mögen's heiß Familie Erdmann ist einfach zum Knuddeln: Mit ihren großen, schwarzen Knopfaugen und ihrer possierlichen Haltung sind die quirligen Erdmännchen die Helden der afrikanischen Kalahari-Wüste - und außerdem die Hauptakteure der beliebten Doku-Serie "Und täglich grüßt das Erdmännchen". Angst vor dem Menschen kennen die 30 Zentimeter kleinen Wüstenbewohner schon lange nicht mehr: Denn ein Forscherteam aus Cambridge beobachtet die tierische Rasselbande bereits seit einigen Jahren aus nächster Nähe. In dieser Zeit gelang es den Tierfilmern - ausgerüstet mit einem speziellen Kamerasystem - einzigartige Momente aus dem Alltag der Erdmännchen einzufangen. Von der Jagd nach Insekten, Würmern oder Eidechsen über bissige Revierkämpfe und gefährliche Liebschaften bis tief hinab in die verborgenen Tunnelsysteme des Erdmännchen-Baus: "Und täglich grüßt das Erdmännchen" dokumentiert das bunte Treiben der Erdmann-Sippe in all seinen Facetten - eine einzigartige und unterhaltsame Doku-Soap aus dem Tierreich der Kalahari-Wüste. Heute kämpft Shakespeare aus der Whisker-Familie ums Überleben. Nachdem er von einer Otter gebissen worden ist, schlägt er sich allein durch die sengende Hitze. Doch die Greifvögel haben schon seine Fährte aufgenommen. Ob seine Schwestern Shakespeare noch retten können? Unterdessen quälen die schier unerträglichen Temperaturen auch den Rest der Erdmännchen-Familie. Doch dank Anführerin Blümchen ist die rettende Oase schnell aufgespürt. Und dann heißt es: Hinein ins kühle Nass! 09:20 Uhr Und täglich grüßt das Erdmännchen Revolution Familie Erdmann ist einfach zum Knuddeln: Mit ihren großen, schwarzen Knopfaugen und ihrer possierlichen Haltung sind die quirligen Erdmännchen die Helden der afrikanischen Kalahari-Wüste - und außerdem die Hauptakteure der beliebten Doku-Serie "Und täglich grüßt das Erdmännchen". Angst vor dem Menschen kennen die 30 Zentimeter kleinen Wüstenbewohner schon lange nicht mehr: Denn ein Forscherteam aus Cambridge beobachtet die tierische Rasselbande bereits seit einigen Jahren aus nächster Nähe. In dieser Zeit gelang es den Tierfilmern - ausgerüstet mit einem speziellen Kamerasystem - einzigartige Momente aus dem Alltag der Erdmännchen einzufangen.

Heute dreht sich alles um den Nachwuchs in der Familie "Whisker". Die Kleinen dürfen zum ersten Mal zusammen mit den Erwachsenen in die weite Welt der Kalahari ausziehen, um für das wahre Leben in der Wüste zu trainieren. Schließlich heißt es auch beim Verspeisen eines Skorpions: Gewusst wie! Sonst könnte der Leckerbissen schnell zur tödlichen Gefahr werden. Im heimatlichen Bau grollt unterdessen Youssarian vor sich hin. Noch immer hat er nicht verkraftet, dass Anführerin Blümchen ihn verlassen hat und das für seinen eigenen Bruder! 09:55 Uhr Infomercial 10:15 Uhr Jäger des Schwarzen Goldes Teil 4 Sie versuchen ihr Glück in Texas, Wyoming, Oklahoma und Kalifornien und lassen bei der Suche nach dem "schwarzen Gold" eine längst vergangene Ära wieder aufleben: die große Zeit der amerikanischen Erdöl-Pioniere. Genauso wie ihre berühmten Urahnen scheuen die so genannten "Wildcatters" bei ihrem Streben nach Ruhm und Reichtum weder Strapazen noch Entbehrungen - und sie riskieren für den einen, alles entscheidenden Wurf ihr gesamtes Hab und Gut. Wie zum Beispiel Clayton Williams. Dieses Urgestein der alten Schule, der ohne seine Cowboystiefel und den Stetson-Hut nie außer Haus gehen würde, verlässt sich bei der Ölsuche ganz auf seinen Instinkt. Clayton wird nachgesagt, dass er den wertvollen Rohstoff tief im Erdboden riechen könne. Doch trotz geschulter Nase hat der Texaner im Lauf seiner Karriere schon dreimal sein gesamtes Vermögen verloren. Echte Haudegen wie Clayton lassen sich von Niederlagen jedoch nicht unterkriegen und beginnen selbst nach herben Rückschlägen einfach wieder von vorn. Eine Berg- und Talfahrt der Gefühle auf dem schmalen Grat zwischen Ruin und Reichtum! Die Doku-Serie "Jäger des Schwarzen Goldes" begleitet eine Handvoll kerniger Draufgänger bei einem der letzten Abenteuer unserer Zeit - der Suche nach den letzten Erdölvorkommen. Poker-Ass Al Adler hat bei einer erfolglosen Öl-Bohrung in Kalifornien zwei Millionen Dollar in den Sand gesetzt. Trotzdem will der ehemalige Profi-Spieler aus Bakersfield eine weitere halbe Million investieren - auf einem Erdgasfeld im Norden Kaliforniens. Einer seismischen Karte zufolge schlummern dort in einem Weinbaugebiet südlich von Sacramento Rohstoff-Vorkommen im Wert von zirka 40 Millionen Dollar unter der Erde. Für große Öl-Konzerne sind solche Summen kleine Fische, daher haben sie das Reservoir längst aufgegeben. Ein unabhängiger Privatmann wie Al könnte mit dem Feld jedoch den Reibach seines Lebens machen. Und so setzt die Spielernatur bei einer weiteren Bohrung alles auf eine Karte. 11:15 Uhr Die Schatzsucher - Goldtaucher der Beringsee Die zweite Chance Neun lange Monate im Jahr ist der Hafen des kleinen Städtchens Nome in Alaska zugefroren. Doch wenn im Sommer das Eis schmilzt, pilgern Abenteurer aus der ganzen Welt an diesen entlegenen Ort, denn in den Gewässern vor der Küste verbirgt sich ein wertvoller Schatz: Pures Gold - über Millionen Jahre vom Schmelzwasser der Gletscher angeschwemmt. Beim Versuch, das kostbare Edelmetall aus der Tiefe zu holen, scheuen die Männer im nördlichsten US-Bundesstaat weder Mühen noch Risiken. Die Schatztaucher haben ihre Boote "Christine Rose", "Sluicey" und "Wild Ranger" aufwändig mit hydraulischen Pumpen ausgerüstet. In der Hoffnung auf den ganz großen Fund suchen sie den Meeresgrund mit riesigen Staubsaugern ab. Doch der Traum vom Reichtum erfüllt sich nur für die wenigsten, denn die Beringsee gibt ihre Kostbarkeiten ungern preis. Die Temperaturen sinken rapide, und den Schatzsuchern vor der Küste von Nome bleibt nicht mehr viel Zeit bis zum Wintereinbruch. Ab sofort müssen die Männer das Letzte aus sich herausholen, um ihr Soll noch zu schaffen. Für Scott Meisterheim auf der "Wild Ranger" ist der Druck besonders groß, denn der Goldtaucher ist hoch verschuldet. Scott muss mindestens Gold im Wert von 80.000 Dollar bergen, sonst droht im Zuhause sogar Gefängnis. Da er sich aber allzu oft im Ton vergreift, hat die Bootsbesatzung wenig Lust auf eine weitere Zusammenarbeit und der Abenteurer wird bald ohne Mannschaft dastehen. Schiffseigner Vernon Adkison sieht sich

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.
