  • Felix Rosenqvist
    FELIX ROSENQVIST TAKING A SUSTAINABLE VIEW ON MOTORSPORT A multiple title winner and frontrunner in every championship he ever contested, Sweden’s Felix Rosenqvist is one of the most exciting up-and-coming talents in international motorsport. The 2013 campaign saw Rosenqvist engulfed in a dramatic two-way scrap for the prestigious FIA Formula 3 European Championship title, eventually finishing second to Ferrari-backed Italian Raffaele Marciello. Rosenqvist also made history by winning the blue-riband Masters of Formula 3 event – Europe’s most important F3 race – for a second time. Felix Rosenqvist is backed by the official Mercedes- Benz young driver development programme. Following his 2013 achievements, he was ranked among the world’s top 50 drivers – all categories. Rosenqvist was the only Swede included on the list. 2014 sees the pursuit for F3 glory continue, along with expanded testing assignments for Mercedes in Germany’s premier touring car series, the DTM.

  • Porsche 919 Hybrid English.Indd
    Porsche 919 Hybrid Return to top-level sport Porsche is making its comeback to the top-level motorsport arena: with the new 919 Hybrid the sports car brand is sending a platform for pioneering technology to the top category of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) with the undisputed seasonal highlight of the 24-hour Le Mans race. Porsche's reputation precedes it at this venue: with 16 overall victories under its belt, the brand holds the record for this, the most famous endurance race in the world. In 2014 Porsche is returning to the top-level class endurance race after a 16-year absence - namely Le Mans Prototypes (LMP1). Matthias Müller, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG explains: "The new and revolutionary efficiency regulations for this class were what prompted us to take this step. In 2014 it is not going to be the fastest contender who is going to win the sports car world championship and Le Mans, but the car that gets furthest with the defined amount of energy. And it is precisely this challenge that the automotive industry has to face. The 919 Hybrid is like a high speed research laboratory and the most complex racing car Porsche has ever built." The new WEC regulations for the LMP1 racing car gives engineers an unusual amount of leeway and demands pioneering technology, such as hybridisation, downsizing engines and consistent lightweight construction. This is all particularly relevant for the development of future generations of factory-spec sports cars. Maximum sporting performance and highest efficiency are at the heart of "Porsche Intelligent Performance".

    TOYOTA GAZOO RACING COMPLETES DRIVER LINE-UP Tuesday 28 March 2017 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing can confirm its full driver line-up for the 2017 season, with Yuji Kunimoto and Nicolas Lapierre joining the team for races at Spa-Francorchamps and Le Mans. Yuji and Nicolas will line-up in the #9 TS050 HYBRID alongside lead driver Stéphane Sarrazin in the second and third races of the 2017 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) season. Yuji, 26, has a wealth of endurance experience from his eight seasons in Super GT and he wrote headlines last year by beating several world-renowned drivers to win the Super Formula championship. A former Japanese Formula Three champion, Yuji will continue to compete in single-seaters as he defends his Super Formula crown in 2017 alongside another Super GT campaign. Frenchman Nicolas, 32, is returning to a familiar environment, having raced for the team from 2012 to 2014, earning TOYOTA’s first hybrid WEC victories. Since then, he has established himself as a leading LMP2 driver, having twice won the class at Le Mans whilst winning the WEC drivers’ title in 2016. Today’s announcement completes the full TOYOTA GAZOO Racing line-up for 2017, following January’s confirmation that the #7 car will be driven by Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and José María López, while Sébastien Buemi, Anthony Davidson and Kazuki Nakajima will compete in the #8. Toshio Sato, Team President : “I am very pleased to welcome Nicolas and Yuji into our driver line-up for the races at Spa and Le Mans.
