SYSTEM Access to charging points is often cited as a sticking point in the decision to purchase hybrid and electric cars, so when Volvo launched its new V60 plug-in electric hybrid with a competition to design a mobile pavilion that would showcase its new model at motor shows, winners Synthesis Design + Architecture (SDA) might just have come up with a possible future solution. The Los Angeles-based firm’s ‘Pure Tension’ pavilion features what it calls a “continuous organic form composed of vinyl encapsulated polyester mesh fabric with integrated flexible photovoltaic panels by Ascent Solar Technologies tensioned over CNC-bent aluminium pipes.” The innovative aspect of the orchid- like structure can be attributed to the photovoltaic cells, which give the pavilion solar charging capability. “This competition presented us with a unique challenge as architects,” says SDA principal and founder, Alvin Huang. “It addressed issues we are constantly working on and offered the potential to address sustainability as something much broader that can also encompass issues of identity, contemporary culture and personal mobility.” The pavilion itself is highly mobile. In SDA’s proposal, it is shown arriving in the back of a V60, collapsed into a small tent bag. “It was important that it be easy deploy, break down, and move around,” says Huang.

  • PRESS RELEASE May 2, 2019 Molinaro First Titansrx Female Driver
    BE LOUD – BE WILD – BE REAL PRESS RELEASE May 2, 2019 Molinaro first TitansRX female driver Italian rally talent Tamara Molinaro joins the new TitansRX Rallycross Series for 2019 The 2017 European Ladies Rally Champion Tamara Molinaro will become the first woman to compete in the brand-new TitansRX Rallycross Series. “I am extremely excited and proud to be part of this new Championship! New format, new cars and some of the best drivers in the world, it just sounds great!”, Molinaro said. TitansRX CEO Max J. Pucher said: “We have long been looking for a fitting lady to take on our group of fantastic drivers. When I saw, how Tamara was throwing around the Pantera RX6 Supercar, which she had never driven before, I knew she was the perfect choice. So, I am very happy she has agreed to become part of our lineup and I am convinced, she will quickly adapt to the car and the kind of racing in order to be part of this crew, who will bring the most exciting Rallycross to the spectators and on Eurosport." The Italian first drove a rally car at the age of eleven, thanks to her father Giorgio being involved in rallying. At the start of her career, she was mainly known as a co-driver of former Mitsubishi works driver Gigi Galli. In no time, Molinaro was picked up by Red Bull driver program. In 2013, she gave her driver debut in rallying in her native Italy. Three years ago, she drove an Opel Adam as an all-female course car in the Schneebergland Rallye in Austria with Ilka Minor as her co-driver.

It’s been a year of both triumph and, unfortunately, tragedy and in this issue we take time out to remember María de Villota, whose passing in October left a deep void not just in motor sport but in all our hearts. María’s bravery following her F1 testing accident and the dedication she displayed afterwards – not only in promoting female involvement in motor sport but also safety on the road and track – will be missed. Elsewhere, it was a year of great success for women competitors and in this edition we look at Lucile Cypriano’s victory in the VW and commission-supported shoot-out for a place in next year’s VW Scirocco R-Cup and reveal how the FIA European Rallycross Championship has become a haven for female racers. It’s been a great year for CONTACTS: women in all forms of motor sport and IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS ABOUT THIS NEWSLETTER OR we look forward to even more in 2014!

To a rally driver it’s an all out, day or night race on an unknown dirt road, trying by sheer concentration to blend a high-strung, production based race car and the road into an unbeatable stage time. To a co-driver it’s the thrill of the world’s greatest amusement park ride, combined with the challenge of performing with great mental accuracy under the most physi- cally demanding conditions. For the spectator it’s a view of the most exciting and demanding of motor sports. Around the world, rallying is wildly popular, attracting huge crowds that line the roads at every event in the FIA World Rally Championship. In a performance rally, each team consists of a driver and co-driver (navigator). The cars start at one or two-minute intervals and race at top speed against the clock over competition stages.
