Koenigsegg's one and only racing car - the CCGT! The car started as a side project for Christian to realize the bigger picture of racing. It was built to compete in the FIA GT Championship, complying with all ACO and FIA rules at the time of completion. Unfortunately, a few months after the work was completed, while the car was being run, the FIA changed the rules for the GT1 class. First, carbon monohulls were no longer allowed. Then the approval figures went from 20 examples spread over time to 350 examples per year. Unable to adhere to the new changes, Koenigsegg must withdraw. In the process of bringing the CCGT project to an end, with only one car under construction. So let’s talk about this rare beast. It carried the same basic engine as that of the CCX, but the superchargers were removed to meet the racing restrictions of the time. They increased the engine size from 4.7L to 5.0L to make a restricted run of 600 hp. It is equipped with a 6-speed sequential CIMA transmission that drives power to the rear wheels. The car's bodywork is carbon Kevlar, weighing just 2200lbs (1000kg) before the ballast they were forced to race. That’s also 1400 lbs of downforce. Koenigsegg claims those who drove it said the car was a dream to drive and would have been incredibly competitive. Last year it was auctioned off at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and now has a new home. Although it has been returned to the Koenigsegg to be taken care of for the future race by the new owner, who plans to use it fully on the track. #koenigsegg #ccgt #supercar #racing #performance #speed #sweden 🇸🇪 #Anis_Maaouia

Koenigsegg's one and only racecar - the CCGT! The car started off as a side project for Christian to fulfill the larger picture of getting into racing. It was built to compete in the FIA GT Championship, complying with all ACO & FIA regulations at time of completion. Unfortunately, just months after completion, during shake-down runs of the car, the FIA changed the regulations for the GT1 class. For one, Carbon Monocoques were no longer allowed. Then the homologation numbers jumped from 20 examples spread out over time, to 350 examples a year. Unable to adhere to the new changes, Koenigsegg has to opt out. Effectively bringing an end to the CCGT project, with only the one car being built. So let's talk about this rare beast.

📌Lucas Di Grassi Suggests Changes in Formula E Holdings Being one of the first champions, having 100 victories in his career and standing as one of the most popular drivers in Formula E give Lucas di Grassi the hierarchy and parchment to suggest changes in the format. The Brazilian believes that the electric category should follow in the footsteps of Formula 1 and introduce the ‘Sprint‘ format to continue innovating. He proposes that they should have longer weekends at each E-Prix, and would even go further with the creation of relay races or the return of pit stops, this time in the form of reloads. #Sprint #formula1 #changes #return #E-prix #reloads #creation CC: Alvaro Buenaventura Georgina Sánchez Baca Gutiérrez Check in:

An interesting article on the importance of having the right commercial strategy for your business. Having more sales people doesn’t mean you will multiply your sales revenue. Ensuring you have the right information and assets around you to articulate the value you can add to your clients is key, as is building the right portfolio of clients so that they can not only benefit from your focussed and timely support, but also benefit from the partnerships you can bring to expand their business offering. A focussed and targeted commercial strategy is often relegated below the product or hiring plans - they are all complimentary and essential to ensure long term business continuity and growth.

FIA Insights - Formula 1 Austrian GP Track Limits Updates We have made significant changes at the Red Bull Ring to address track limits at Turns 9 and 10. The installation of a 2.5m gravel strip behind the kerbs at these turns is a key development, acting as a natural deterrent to prevent drivers from gaining an unfair advantage by running wide. To further improve clarity and enforcement, we've introduced a new blue line behind the kerbs. This helps officials to easily identify when a driver exceeds the track limits, ensuring consistent and transparent decision-making during the race. These updates reflect our commitment to maintaining the integrity of the sport and responding to feedback from drivers and teams. We believe these changes will lead to more exciting and fair racing at the Red Bull Ring. Learn more about these changes: https://lnkd.in/ewWa73Jt

The message displayed to consumers visiting the Northwest Motorsports website reads... "Northwest Motorsport Guests, Thank you for your business and interest in our dealership. After thoughtful consideration and evaluation of today's pre-owned vehicle market conditions, we have decided to close operations at Northwest Motorsport, effective January 23, 2024. If you have any questions or need assistance, please email contact@nwmsrocks.com or call 253-604-7441." I'm wondering; in light of limited used car inventory, inflated inventory costs, and high interest rates, what levers can dealerships pull to successfully navigate "today's pre-owned vehicle market conditions?"

The smile on Jeff True 's face after Seize the Grey ran away with the 2024 Preakness Stakes, inspired me to plough my humble winnings into Caldera. It took less than 2 minutes on MyRacehorse to become a fractional shareholder of this promising colt. A whopping 0.008% at that...but that's all it takes to learn and enjoy the sport and the excitement of wagering. As the South African horse racing industry faces ongoing headwinds, the following remains true. In order for the tides to rise, to raise all ships, all stakeholders need to be transformative and move on from antiquated UX's. Transformation effort and investment cannot fall onto one category of stakeholder. It is fantastic that the three operators have strong shareholder support allowing them to add new revenue streams (in addition to tote and content distribution) and improve their on-track propositions. These efforts are much needed to grow the sport, however.... declining horse populations and a lack of an increase in racehorse owners, is a universal problem to all industry stakeholders. I would encourage all SA horse racing industry stakeholders to take time to look beyond their inward facing efforts and be inspired by initiatives like MyRacehorse, and to collaborate with each other to make sure the tide does not fall for all.

Fans of Formula 1 will observe that, in contrast to certain other motor racing categories around the world, each grand prix has a distinct number of laps and durations. This is because, because of the several circuits its calendar holds, the series, like Le Mans 24 Hours, 12 Hours of Sebring, and others, runs to a specified distance rather than an amount of time. Because 70 circuits at Silverstone could take twice as long as 70 laps in Montreal, this is done to ensure that every race is roughly the same length. To inform viewers of how close the race is to ending, a lap count is displayed in place of a clock in the corner of the live feed. Thus, a variety of circumstances influence the duration of an F1 grand prix; some have been completed in less than an hour, while others have taken nearly five hours. Here is all the information you need to understand the regulations regarding race duration, past controversies, and other related topics. https://lnkd.in/dkCE3wqA
