Sokongan Keluarga Jana Sukan Pemotoran Negara (BH 07/05/2002)
07/05/2002 Sokongan keluarga jana sukan pemotoran negara Zairee Zahir KEJAYAAN Malaysia yang mula melahirkan beberapa pemandu muda dalam sukan bermotor di peringkat antarabangsa bukan satu kebetulan biarpun Litar F1 Sepang yang menjadi daya ilham Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad, memulakan pembinaannya pada 1997. Sebaliknya, ia sudah dirancang lebih awal oleh ibu bapa masing-masing selepas melihat bakat anak mereka dan menyedari impak besar yang mampu diberikan sukan bertaraf dunia itu. Kerana minat mendalam dan impian melihat anak tempatan bersaing di pentas tertinggi, ada ibu bapa mengambil inisiatif awal untuk membimbing dan menyokong pembabitan anak-anak dengan harapan mereka mampu berdiri sama tinggi dengan pemandu Formula Satu handalan dunia. Masa, tenaga dan wang ringgit yang bukan sedikit dicurahkan untuk melihat anak mereka berjaya biarpun terpaksa bergolok gadai untuk mencari sumber kewangan sendiri bagi menampung perbelanjaan tinggi dalam sukan itu. Usaha keras kerajaan menerusi Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (KBS) juga membuka pintu kepada ramai pemandu muda negara mengembangkan bakat dalam pelbagai kejuaraan peringkat dunia. Nama Alex Yoong yang kini menjadi pemandu pasukan F1, KL Minardi Asiatech sebenarnya sudah disebut-sebut sejak 1991 ketika Malaysia belum bermimpi untuk menjadi kuasa sukan bermotor Asia. Bapanya, Hanifah Yoong Abdullah adalah individu yang sentiasa bertungkus lumus memastikan anaknya itu bersaing di peringkat tertinggi. Selepas mengukir nama dalam beberapa perlumbaan tempatan, Alex beralih ke Kejuaraan British yang menjadi sekolah ramai pemandu F1 ketika ini. Semasa berlumba di F3 British bersama pasukan Alan Docking, Alex juga bersaing dalam Kejuaraan F3000 Itali dan F3 Eropah, sebelum beralih ke Formula Nippon di Jepun selama dua musim sebelum mengukir sejarah menjadi pemandu pertama Malaysia dan bukan Jepun di Asia, menjadi pemandu F1. -
2016 Bmw Motorsport Junior Programme
BMW Motorsport 2016 BMW MOTORSPORT www.bmw- Sheer JUNIOR PROGRAMME. motorsport.com Driving Pleasure BMW MOTORSPORT MEDIA INFORMATION. TALENT PROMOTION IN GT RACING. The development of promising talented drivers enjoys a long tradition at BMW Motorsport. In 2014 a new multi-level GT junior concept had been introduced: the BMW Motorsport Junior Programme. This realignment saw BMW Motorsport shift its development of young drivers back to the GT and touring car sector. In Formula racing the concept bore fruit for many years in Formula BMW and the Formula BMW Talent Cup and kick-started the racing career of many successful drivers like Sebastian Vettel, Nico Rosberg and Nico Hülkenberg. The focus is on GT and touring car drivers who already have some racing experience. Outings in the BMW M235i Racing are an integral part of the comprehensive training programme. As well as race starts and test drives, intensive theory courses dealing with fitness and PR are planned, as are mental and simulator training. The potential candidates for this year’s class were put to the test in a shootout in the BMW M235i Racing in Dijon on 10th/11th March. Ricky Collard and Nico Menzel proved to be the most promising talents. They are the 2016 BMW Motorsport Juniors. A decision as to which of the young drivers showed the most potential is made by a jury of experts, headed by BMW Motorsport Director Jens Marquardt. BMW works driver Dirk Adorf will act as a mentor for the junior programme. At the end of the year, the most successful BMW Motorsport Junior of the season will be given the opportunity to continue his training for a second year in a higher racing category. -

Communications Motorsport Virginia Brusch Tel: +49 841 89 41753 E-mail: [email protected] www.audi-motorsport.info 2014 Audi R8 LMS Cup boasts strong field • Up to 24 race cars with push-to-pass system for the first time • Rahel Frey, André Couto and young talents from Asia on the grid • Audi R8 LMS Cup to be held in China with WEC Ingolstadt, May 7, 2014 – The Audi R8 LMS Cup is about to start its third season. With 24 entrants in the field it is more popular than ever and with a new push-to- pass system offers even more overtaking maneuvers than before. Among others, the driver line-up includes the Swiss Rahel Frey, the former Macau GP winner André Couto and young talents such as Aidan Wright from Australia and Matt Solomon from HongKong. The series features twelve rounds on six race weekends. The popular Cup again unites high-caliber protagonists this year, including the 2012 and 2013 overall winners Marchy Lee and Adderly Fong (both from HongKong), the Chinese motorsport talent ‘Franky’ Cheng Congfu and the former Formula 1 driver Alex Yoong from Malaysia. The Swiss GT specialist Rahel Frey – last year’s race winner at Shanghai – will be hunting for points in Asia again as well. Together with André Couto, Aidan Wright and Matt Solomon they form the spearhead of a driver field with which the Audi R8 LMS Cup helps to further develop motorsport in the region. Another highlight is the push-to-pass function. By pushing a button, the drivers can briefly draw on a 50 hp power boost that may be tactically used in overtaking maneuvers. -

Lola at Le Mans 2007 Media Guide
Lola at Le Mans 2007 Media Guide B08/60 LMP1 Coupe Preview Test Day Report Lola Team Profiles Complete Lola Le Mans Results A Message from Martin Birrane It goes without saying that Le Mans is the jewel in the crown of global sportscar competition. Indeed, having both raced and entered cars at La Sarthe, it is to my mind the biggest and best motor race in the world. This year, Lola is privileged to have six teams running Huntingdon-built chassis. It is extremely pleasing to see three each of our LMP1 and LMP2 cars here and with such a variety of engines, too. You will find elsewhere in this media guide Lola’s complete results at Le Mans – an invitation to conjure up your own memories from the wonderful past of this uniquely demanding race – and also a peek into the future with the first images of our new LMP1 coupe. I have long believed that Lola’s fortunes are a barometer of the health of sportscar racing and at the moment the market is looking strong, with this weekend’s six Lola entries and the imminent arrival of the first-ever customer LMP1 coupe, the Lola B08/60. As we look ahead to Lola’s 50th anniversary in 2008, the commitment to state-of-the-art technical facilities and outstanding engineering talent will remain the cornerstone of our success and appeal to both manufacturers and privateers seeking sportscar success. I would like to close by personally wishing our customers – and all of our friends throughout the sportscar racing community – the very best of luck in what promises to be an exceptional 75th running of the classic 24 Hours of Le Mans. -
