  • 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".

  • Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe: Rossel and Di Folco Survive Penalty for Nürburgring Win
    Media Information Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe: Rossel and Di Folco survive penalty for Nürburgring win Sant’Agata Bolognese/Nürburg, 6 September 2020 - Target Racing’s Kevin Rossel and Alberto di Folco produced a calculated drive to claim their first Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe victory in the second race of the weekend at the Nürburgring. Starting third on the grid following Friday’s second qualifying session, di Folco made a superb start to grab second from Oregon Team’s Dorian Boccolacci as the field funnelled through Turn 1 for the first time. Kevin Rossel (Target Racing) said: “It was a really good, but also quite difficult race. The tyres were pretty much finished by the end, so it was a case of managing them and the gap we had to second place. We had a strategy for the start of the race, which was basically to get second at the first corner. Alberto made a really good overtake so that kind of set us up nicely for my stint.” Team-mate Alberto di Folco added: "Our car was very fast. We had a perfect strategy, and in my driving stint, I tried to keep the gap over my pursuers. After the pit-stop Kevin did a great job." Pole-sitter Loris Spinelli (Van der Horst Motorsport) led the initial stages, building a five-second advantage over di Folco before the pit-stop window opened 20 minutes into the 50-minute race. While di Folco made progress at the start, Leipert Motorsport’s Marcus Påverud fell back one position to fifth on the opening lap, dropping behind Target Racing’s Miloš Pavlović.
