What about the batteries? During the Goodyear FIA European Truck Racing Championship, we featured people from the T Sport Bernau team and revealed details about their race truck - but the question above is still unanswered. Are they really using batteries from VARTA Automotive in their truck? Are they customised or off-the-shelf? Chief race mechanic Tim Frost reveals all the details in the video, which concludes our race truck communication for this year. We’ll be back with more insights, interviews and information just in time for the next season. #VARTAAutomotive #Clarios #TSportBernau #TruckRacing

The energy at Interlagos last weekend was truly remarkable as the #Formula1 Brazilian Grand Prix brought together top engineering talent, technology, and a passion for racing. Spending an afternoon with the British teams McLaren Racing and Aston Martin F1 Team, along with their brilliant engineers, was a fantastic opportunity to witness firsthand the high caliber of British expertise in advanced engineering — a field in which the UK is a global leader. It was also great to have a friendly conversation with Felipe Drugovich, Brazil’s own emerging F1 talent, whose determination and skill reflect the shared commitment to excellence in motorsport across both our nations. A standout moment was seeing the iconic McLaren MP4/5B — the very car Ayrton Senna drove in 1990. It returned to the track on Sunday, now driven by seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton. This gesture not only celebrated Senna’s legacy but also showcased the profound heritage that links Brazil and the UK in motorsport. The advanced engineering that powers Formula 1 demonstrates the UK's potential as a partner for Latin American companies seeking innovation and performance excellence. Whether it’s cutting-edge automotive technology, sustainable solutions, or enhanced production methods, British expertise can support transformative developments across sectors. And for those wondering if I caught the racing bug — don’t worry, I won’t be trying to take a McLaren out for a test drive anytime soon... but if I ever need a pit crew for trade negotiations, I know where to look! #Interlagos2024 #AdvancedEngineering #InnovationInMotion #SustainableTechnology

BMW Motorrad World Endurance Team Faces Heartbreak at Spa-Francorchamps The BMW Motorrad World Endurance Team experienced a dramatic turn of events at the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit during the second round of the 2024 FIM Endurance World Championship (FIM EWC). Despite a strong start and a promising position, the team was forced to retire the #37 BMW M 1000 RR after just four hours of racing due to an oil leak. Riders Markus Reiterberger (GER), Sylvain Guintoli (FRA), and Ilya Mikhalchik (UKR) were in the hunt for a podium finish, having started the race from fourth place. Reiterberger quickly surged to the front, maintaining a competitive pace alongside his teammates.

I have wanted to do the Mille Miglia Road Race in Italy for a number of years now. As I approach the age where I may just have enough free time to prepare a car, I decided somewhat optimistically to investigate the entry criteria. First off, you need an eligible car. A model that participated in the race between 1927-1957. This usually means a £50k+ car. To be considered for entry, the rarer the better makes it much easier. Basic entry fee amounts to Euro 12,500 plus 22% VAT (total Euro 15,250.00). But before that, you need: vehicle registration 900.00 Euro + VAT for the Participant category and 500.00 Euro + VAT for the Eligible category. Then : owners will pay a yearly membership fee for each car of 200.00 Euro + VAT for the first car owned, 50.00 Euro + VAT for the following, which will allow them to be part of the exclusive Registro 1000 Miglia Community. So add in getting the car there, hotels, food and the inevitable look around Venice as a side trip, you are looking at £20k to join in. Then its by invite only. The organisers will hymn and haw over whether they actually need to allow another Lancia Aurelia B20 to start or should they make room for a rarer Siata 208 CS. You could wait years. I could register and apply now, but be dead by the time I’m accepted. Unless your car is super special, then you are straight in……prestige and kudos for the organisers you see? Christ!….. makes you want to give up before you start ! In this world where want and need are so prevalent, is there a place for such elitism? Morally better ways to spend £20k of course. Errr…… Still want to do it though! 😔 Lancia Aurelia B20 2500GT 4th Series
