WRC - 2015 - MONTECARLO

Wow! What a start for the 2015 WRC season!!

If the win by the 2014 Champion Sebastien Ogier doesn't come as a big shock, this four-days event turned out to be a concentrate of excitement!

Many eyes were focus on the big return of the Roy, Sebastien Loeb, for a one rally deal with the car that he won the championship with for nine years in a row.
The French wasn't able to grab the eight victory on the streets of the Principality but what a great show for the many fans hanging on the edges of the tortuous streets of Monaco!

The opening day on Thursday sees Loeb first, Ogier second and Latvala third, all three in just half a minute.
By Friday night Loeb leaves the top of the standing, dropping down to 15th position, due to an accident that compromised a suspension which made impossible for the car to safely transfer and make it to the team mechanics. Same fate as the Polish Kubica a day earlier. Is Mikkelsen to raise to third position, with Tanak just behind him.
Saturday ends with the first three positions frozen from the night before, with Ogier leading on Latvala by 42 seconds and Mikkelsen just over one minute behind the Finnish.
Sunday, between the mighty Col De Turini and the streets of Montecarlo , is the usual, crazy show. Ogier comfortably manage the margin on Latvala and ends up winning with almost a minute on the Finn, while Mikkelsen can sit on the lowest step of the podium. Ostberg, Neuville and Sordo are the other drivers within five minutes from Ogier.

Have a great time!

TUDOR UNITED SPORTSCAR CHAMPIONSHIP 2015

On January 24th and 25th, on the glorious track of Daytona, the International Motor Sport Association will host the first round of the 2015 racing season.
The top series will open the year 2015 with the classic Rolex 24, the first big endurance race of the year worldwide.

This year the calendar has been shortened by one race since Championship won't stop in Kansas and Indianapolis but it will race at Lime Rock, Connecticut.

Unfortunately this year the calendar is not the only thing losing lines. Even the lists of teams participating in each class are smaller: The teams in the Prototype class moved from 13 to 12; the Prototype Challenge class from 8 to 7; the GTLM from 9 to 7 and with the SRT Team leaving we won't see the Viper fighting on the race; the Gt Daytona class from 23 to 15.

Many are the seats changing for the drivers but it's exciting to verify that many top notch drivers are listed to take part into this season, keeping the quality of the race one of the best in the world.

As North America officially opens the 2015 motorsport season, we're looking forward for an exciting year ahead.

Stay tuned!

World Rally Championship 2015

Let's take a quick look at the upcoming new season of the WRC.

Not many changes in the constructors officially participating in the Championship. Here below a quick look at the 2015 cars:

The list of teams competing for manufacturers points sees the entry of the Italian team FWRT s.r.l. with a Fiesta RS WRC, assigned to the driver and co-pilot Lorenzo Bertelli and Giovanni Bernacchini, which will replace the Robert Kubica Team.

The Polish driver will still drive his own Ford this year but the manufacturer won't benefit from any point scored from him.

Talking about drivers, it's a big surprise to see again Sebastian Loeb, even only for the Rallye of Montecarlo, behind the wheel of a Citroen, with his buddy of many victories and Montecarlo resident Daniel Elena.
Ott Tanak gained a seat in the official Ford M-Sport WRT, replacing the retiring Mikko Hirvonen.

In the Hyundai family the new entry is Kevin Abbring, with his co-driver Sebastian Marshall, who'll replace the French Bouffier, moved to the Ford M-Sport team but not competing for manufacturer points, the Finnish Junno Hanninen who will race only in the Swedish round with a private Citroen and the Aussie Chris Atkinson.

The calendar remains pretty much untouched except for the wise move to switch the rounds of Argentina and Portugal, for a much more economic sequence Mexico-Argentina-Portugal-Italy.

The Rally of Portugal is moving back in the Porto area, after been relocated in the southern region of Algarve since 2002.


The appointment is for Thursday Jan 22nd at the glamorous Place du Casino, Monaco, to begin the 43rd World Rally Championship.

See you

Happy new year

It's back!

Our new Motorsport season 2015 is finally here!

Thursday the spotlights will turn on the sharp and tortuous streets of Montecarlo, where the 2015 World Rally Championship will be hosted in its first appointment, for four days, until Sunday.

Same day, other continent, the IMSA teams will be down on the Daytona International Speedway to warm up for the Rolex 24, scheduled between Saturday and Sunday.

Different scenarios, different weather, different cars, tracks and drivers but same passion: Speed, drive at the limit, as on ice as it is on tarmac, adrenaline, engines roaring.

Yes, the 2015, our 2015, it finally begins!



Coming soon we'll look close at each category to find what's new and what to expect.

About us, we just made some minor changes in the categories that we'll follow: we had, unfortunately, to let EuroV8 and Asian LMS go but we're happy to welcome in our schedule the Super GT!


Stay tuned for the next update!

And again, Happy new year!
