PRESSEMELDING Bfgoodrich Returnerer Til Rally Dakar
PRESSEMELDING Oslo 2. november 2016 BFGoodrich returnerer til Rally Dakar BFGoodrich, dekkprodusenten som skapte det første radialdekket for terrengkjøring i 1976, har bestemt seg for å returnere til Rally Dakar i 2017 som offisiell dekkleverandør. Når Rally Dakar går av stabelen i Asunción, Paraguay, i januar er det første gang siden 2012 at BFGoodrich sine dekk er tilbake på racerbilene i stor skala. Samtidig vil dekkprodusenten stille med et eget servicesenter, hvor de vil tilby deltakerne eksperthjelp 24 timer i døgnet. Det ulendte terrenget og de uforutsigbare faktorer som deltakerne møter i løpet av to uker og 800 mil med utfordrende racing gjennom tre land, er nøyaktig de testforholdene som BFGoodrich ønsker seg. – BFGoodrich har en stolt tradisjon innenfor racing, og med vår offisielle retur til Rally Dakar ser vi frem til å fortsette vårt globale engasjement innenfor terrengracing, sier Pascal Couasnon, direktør for Michelin og BFGoodrich Motorsport. – Cross Country rally er en særegen utfordring, og denne konkurransen omfatter noen av jordens mest komplekse terrengforhold. Som i andre former for racing der BFGoodrich deltar, er vår dedikasjon den samme i denne disiplinen. Vi fortsetter å bruke all teknisk informasjon som vi samler inn på konkurranselaboratorier over hele verden for å utvikle ny teknologi og stadig forbedre våre produkter til å møte de aller vanskeligste kjøreforholdene på jorden. BFGoodrich-dekkene som leveres i Rally Dakar 2017 er dekk som brukes i racing og testes over hele verden: BFGoodrich All-Terrain KDR2: Dette er et unikt racingdekk, utviklet for cross-country rally racing. Det ligner på BFGoodrich Baja T/A® KR2, men er lettere og har en ny slitebane.

The Adventurer Luc Alphand Gets Behind the Wheel of Your SCX®
The adventurer Luc Alphand gets behind the wheel of your SCX® SCX® PRESENTS THE FERRARI 550 MARANELLO Now you can enjoy taking the wheel of one of today's most original Ferraris This Ferrari 550 GT Maranello from the firm with the prancing horse logo, brought to you by SCX®, boasts a truly spectacular design, in line with the Italian manufacturer's philosophy. The front of the vehicle has a strikingly large air intake with several logos underneath it. The car uses three colours: blue, the main colour in the scheme, white, which is used for the top part of the spoilers running around the vehicle and finally another band of grey underneath which, like the white, runs all around the vehicle. This colour scheme brings out even more the originality of this Ferrari. Eye-catching in the side view of this SCX® model are the wide, low-profile Michelin tyres. The silver-coloured alloy wheels are a detail to spot and behind the wheels are some striking air intakes. The aggressive looks of the car are at least partly due to its low suspension, a typical feature of Ferrari models. Other distinctive features of this Ferrari 550 GT Maranello include the stickers on the bodywork, starting with the large driver's race number, 72, next to the logo of ‘Les Maisons France’ and the French flag on the car doors. The drivers' names are to be found over the doors: Frederic Dor, Luc Alphand and Jerome Policand. Also worth a mention are the attractive headlights, between which the inevitable Ferrari logo stands out.

Nella Storia Dello Sci Sci Alpino
ATOMIC.COM PRESS RELEASE 18_03_2013 MARCEL HIRSCHER E MIKAELA SCHIFFRIN: NELLA STORIA DELLO SCI SCI ALPINO. CON I SECONDI POSTI IN GIGANTE (IERI) E IN SLALOM SPECIALE (OGGI) A LENZERHEIDE (SVI) L'ATLETA AUSTRIACO CONCLUDE LA SUA FANTASTICA STAGIONE RICEVENDO "UFFICIALMENTE" LA COPPA DI SLALOM E QUELLA ASSOLUTA. E VINCENDO LA CLASSIFICA ASSOLUTA PER IL SECONDO ANNO CONSECUTIVO, ENTRA A PIENO TITOLO NELLA STORIA DELLO SCI. IN CAMPO FEMMINILE ATOMIC CONQUISTA LA COPPA DEL MONDO DI SLALOM CON LA DICIOTTENNE MIKAELA SCHIFFRIN, TERZA GIOVANE DI SEMPRE A RIUSCIRCI Marcel Hirscher a Lenzerheide (SVI) conclude la sua straordinaria stagione di Coppa del Mondo, e lo fa con un due secondi posti: Slalom Gigante (sabato 16 marzo) e Slalom Speciale (oggi). Proprio in questa località nel 2007 esordì nel massimo circuito dello sci e nello stesso luogo, sei anni dopo, è entrato nella storia dello "sport bianco" perché è il decimo sciatore di sempre a conquistare per due anni consecutivi la Coppa del Mondo di Sci Alpino. Hirscher scrive dunque il suo nome a fianco dei "grandissimi" di questo sport che prima di lui fecero "doppietta" consecutiva, parliamo (in ordine cronologico) di Jean-Claude Killy, Karl Schranz, Gustavo Thoeni, Ingemar Stenmark, Phil Mahre, Marc Girardelli, Pirmin Zurbriggen, Hermann Maier e Stephan Eberharter. Senza dubbio è stato un cammino esaltante quello del 24enne austriaco in questa stagione, infatti, guardando il tabellino, va segnalato come su 20 gare di Coppa del Mondo in cui ha preso il via è riuscito a salire sul podio ben 18 volte (6 vittorie, 10 secondi posti, 2 terzi posti), che gli sono valse la Coppa del Mondo di Slalom (ottenuta con il secondo posto nella prova di Kranjska Gora del 10 marzo scorso) e quella "Assoluta".

Bfgoodrich Luchará Por Su Decimoséptima Victoria En El Rally Dakar 2021
INFORMACIÓN DE PRENSA 29/12/2020 BFGoodrich luchará por su decimoséptima victoria en el Rally Dakar 2021 BFGoodrich vuelve a afrontar el mayor reto del automovilismo off-road: el Rally Dakar. La marca líder mundial en neumáticos todoterreno desde hace más de 100 años brindará su apoyo a numerosos equipos y luchará por su decimoséptima victoria aBsoluta. El Rally Dakar es la prueba todoterreno más exigente del mundo y, por tanto, un lugar idóneo para someter a un exigente test a los neumáticos BFGoodrich. Esta carrera de resistencia de más de 7.500 kilómetros de recorrido pone a prueba a todos los participantes durante dos semanas en las que tendrán que atravesar cañones, montañas, dunas y tramos rápidos, donde se encontrarán zonas con rocas o piedras afiladas. Por ello, los neumáticos para el Dakar deben ofrecer una combinación única de agarre, tracción, estabilidad direccional y robustez, así como alta resistencia al desgaste. En la edición 2021 del rally, BFGoodrich vuelve a ofrecer a los equipos participantes una combinación de neumáticos de última generación, con el objetivo de garantizar las mejores prestaciones y fiabilidad sobre el terreno: BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A KDR2+, BFGoodrich MUD TERRAIN T/A KM3 y BFGoodrich T/A KM3 UTV/SSV. Los neumáticos BFGoodrich en el Dakar 2021 El BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A KDR2+ debutó en el Rally Dakar en 2018, y ha evolucionado edición a edición. Desde el Dakar 2020, en el que contribuyó a la victoria de Carlos Sainz y Lucas Cruz con el MINI JCW Buggy, su carcasa ha sido revisada para perfeccionar y maximizar aún más su rendimiento en el segundo Dakar que se celebra en Oriente Medio.

JANUARY 6 Th 17 Th #Dakar2019
JANUARY 6 th 17 th #Dakar2019 PRESS KIT DREAM. DARE. LIVE IT. OUTSTANDING The Dakar rally has had a near magical way of demonstrating the exceptional for a long time. Each year, the drivers and their teams face an extraordinary challenge, combining varied, extreme difficulties. For the 2019 event, the traditional set-up has once again been overhauled, and is sure to be one of the most challenging programmes we have ever seen. Continuing its Peruvian adventure, the Dakar rally is offering a dense set of obstacles and promises to be a new kind of epic - comparable to the monohulls of the Vendée Globe taking part in a 10-day regatta in the roaring forties. The brave individuals who have already experienced the Peruvian sands have made no mistake, and will once again form the biggest bivouac camp in the world of cross country, near to Pisco and Arequipa in particular, after leaving Lima on 7 January. The intense challenge they face will push them to their limits in getting over dunes, navigation and physical strength: in the dunes, one kilometre is equivalent to two or even three kilometres elsewhere. Étienne LAVIGNE Dakar Rally Director 1 DAKAR IN THE LAND OF THE INCAS Peru is the third largest country in South America, with a surface area the size of France, Spain and Portugal combined. There is not a traveller who does not succumb to the charms of Peru. Machu Picchu, a national emblem and majestic remnant of the Inca times, draws in many tourists. The mysterious Nazca lines also attract a lot of attention.
