29 cars for collective test on 9-10 March

The provisional entry list for the WEC collective test session on 9-10 March - just 16 days away - has been revealed. Of the 34 cars due to take the start of the 1000 Miles of Sebring, 29 will be using the two-day test to learn the track and how to respect the bumps!  The first WEC practice session will take place on Wednesday 13 March, just 20 days from now. 

Only at Sebring! A dive into the history books...

As Sebring is one of the oldest race tracks in the USA, there are many myths and legends. Here are some of our favourites from over the years. Who from the WEC might be the next driver(s) or team(s) to create their own myth or legend, and be talked about in years to come?

The FIA WEC Panel of Stewards: What happens behind closed doors

“It’s with the Stewards.” “They have been called to the Stewards.” “It’s the decision of the Stewards.” 
These phrases can often be heard at international motorsport meetings, but what exactly do they mean and what actually happens behind the closed doors of the Panel of Stewards at all rounds of the FIA World Endurance Championship, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans? 
In order to find out more about the work of these FIA Officials and the extent to which they go to ensure parity, a fair hearing and justice for all, we spoke to the permanent Chairman of the Panel of Stewards for the WEC, Jean-Francois Veroux.  To read the interview click on the links below.

Endurance racing took a significant step towards the future today with the approval by the FIA World Motor Sport Council of the new 2020-2025 regulations. A new top category of cars, replacing the current LMP1 prototypes, will be introduced from September 2020 and the ‘Hypercar’ era will have begun. 
After months of work between the ACO and FIA, the regulators for the FIA World Endurance Championship, and after consultation with automotive manufacturers across the globe, the technical regulations for the new category were presented and validated by the FIA’s WMSC today in Saint Petersburg in Russia. 
Spectacular to look at, high technology, high performance and accessible to many due to well-defined cost controls, more on the new regulations can be found HERE (use backspace to return to presentation after viewing videos) including short interviews with Richard Mille, President of the FIA Endurance Commission, Pierre Fillon, President of the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, and Gérard Neveu, CEO of the FIA World Endurance Championship. 
Also confirmed at the World Motor Sports Council meeting were amendments to the FIA WEC Sporting Regulations for the 2019-2020 season including a revision to pit stop procedures and the introduction of success ballast for the LMGTE Am category. From next season it will no longer be possible to carry out tyre changes at the same time as refuelling during a pit stop. 
The name of the new hypercar class will be chosen by popular vote, and will be announced in the New Year.

La nouvelle réglementation 2020 Hypercar approuvée

Les courses d'endurance ont connu aujourd'hui une étape significative pour leur avenir, avec l'approbation par le Conseil Mondial du Sport Automobile de la FIA de la nouvelle réglementation 2020-2025. Une nouvelle catégorie principale, remplaçante des actuels prototypes LMP1, sera introduite à partir de septembre 2020, et la nouvelle ère "Hypercar" commencera. 
Après des mois de travail entre l'ACO et la FIA, législateurs du règlement du Championnat du Monde d'Endurance, et après consultation auprès des constructeurs automobiles du monde entier, la réglementation technique de la nouvelle catégorie a été présentée, puis validée aujourd'hui à Saint Pétersbourg (Russie) par le Conseil Mondial du Sport Automobile de la FIA. 
Visuellement spectaculaires, de très haute technologie, de performances très élevées et accessibles au plus grand nombre grâce à un contrôle des coûts parfaitement défini, toutes les informations concernant ce nouveau règlement peuvent être consultées ICI, (après avoir visionné la vidéo, vous retrouverez cette présentation via la flèche back de votre navigateur) incluant également de courtes interviews de Richard Mille, Président de la Commission Endurance de la FIA, Pierre Fillon, Président de l'Automobile Club de l'Ouest, et Gérard Neveu, Directeur Général du Championnat du Monde d'Endurance FIA. 
Ont également été confirmés lors de la réunion du Conseil Mondial du Sport Automobile les amendements au règlement sportif FIA WEC en vue de la saison 2019-2020, comprenant une révision de la procédure d'arrêt au stand ainsi que l’ajout d’un « success ballast » en LMGTE Am. A partir de la saison prochaine, il ne sera désormais plus possible d'effectuer en même temps lors d'un arrêt au stand les changements de pneus et le ravitaillement en carburant. 
Le nom de la nouvelle catégorie Hypercar sera choisi grâce aux votes des fans et sera annoncé lors de la nouvelle année.

Después de una controversia tras la conclusión de la carrera final de las Mikels Trucks, la piloto Majo Rodríguez de la Truck #7 de Freightliner-Credifiel-Kartzone-Tracusa, ascendió al tercer lugar de la competencia en el marco de la conclusión de la temporada 2018 de NASCAR Peak México Series.

Para la originaria de Puebla, este podio se vuelve un hecho histórico, al ser su primer podio dentro de la categoría en este año,  además al convertirse en la primera piloto en hacerlo en lo que tiene de vida la serie, Majo Rodríguez con el apoyo de Credifiel es la primera mujer en subir al podio en  MIKEL’S Trucks.

Cabe señalar que Majo extraoficialmente había finalizado en el cuarto lugar, pero tras el escrutinio de los oficiales, así como un análisis extenso sobre los momentos más tensos de la carrera, se decidió sancionar al segundo lugar lo que le abrió la puerta a la poblana para llevarse el ansiado podio.

"Fue una buena carrera, bastante accidentada pero logramos salir adelante. El tercer lugar nos sabe bien porque lo estuvimos peleando fuertemente. Lamentablemente un contacto nos dejó lejos del objetivo pero al final todo se acomodó y nos vamos con un buen sabor de boca de la Ciudad de México", explicó la piloto de la camioneta #7 con los colores de Credifiel.

Al final del día Rodríguez completó 60 vueltas a la pista del Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, cruzando la meta en un tiempo de 55 minutos, 26 segundos.

De esta forma y con un trabajo bastante interesante en esta final , Majo Rodríguez y el equipo AD Development bajo el telón de forma exitosa dentro de Mikels Trucks, categoría coestelar de NASCAR Peak México Series.

Cybersecurity giants, Kaspersky Lab drive the forty-year-old art car concept forward into the 21st century with collaboration between British street artist and the Virgin Racing Formula E Team.

London – Monday 1st October 2018 – Ahead of the launch of Moniker Art Fair, Kaspersky Lab and Dean Stockton, better known by his alias D*Face, have unveiled the first-ever Formula E art car, in East London.
As a fervent supporter of the arts and motor sport, Kaspersky Lab is presenting its own unique take on the art car concept, made famous in the 1970s.
Kaspersky Lab wanted to breathe new life into the high-end hot rod art car concept, by selecting a new set of wheels to work with and, giving an accessible, urban artist free range to do what he wants with it. The result is D*Face imprinting his bright, bold and colourful artistic trademarks on the Virgin Racing Formula E car; signalling the first Formula E art car ever made.
The car, emblazoned with ‘Save the World’, features several of D*Face’s iconic wings and acts as a vehicle to illustrate a powerful message – that art can empower people to make a change.
The London-born artist hopes that his work will force viewers to consider the notion that they have the power to be a super hero, stating:
“Does everyone have a good and bad element to them, and how much does the bad outweigh the good? In times like now, we all need to take on the mantra of the super hero and help Save the World. It is time for all of us to stand together and make a change. Be that stopping data steals, addressing climate change and plastic waste or using damaging fuels. We all have the power to do one thing that will help make a change.
“It has been exciting to work with Kaspersky Lab on this project and create art with a real message of hope for a brighter future. This is, after all, our world and we need to look after it. It will take every one of us to make a real lasting, impactful change.”
The medium is also the message, as although Formula E is in principle a sport, its raison d'être is to creatively tackle the issue of climate change and accelerate technological developments in the world of e-mobility.
The art car is one of two new collaborations between the artist and the cybersecurity company that will be on display in East London in the coming weeks. As well as the car, the artist’s design for the limited-edition boxes of Kaspersky’s Total Security v.2019 product was also presented at the art fair.
The car and Total Security v.2019 collaboration is the latest in a series of artworks celebrating the ‘Save the World’ concept. The artist created a large-scale mural in New York and designed ‘art helmets’ for Virgin Racing drivers Sam Bird and Alex Lynn at the season finale in New York.
Kaspersky Lab are fast becoming one of the biggest corporate supporters of the urban art scene, following its work with Ben Eine last year and, its ongoing commitment to contemporary art, creativity and innovation as the lead sponsor of Moniker Art Fair globally.
Tina Ziegler, Moniker Art Fair Director said:
“Kaspersky's support has been vital to Moniker as the fair has grown – thanks to their help, we've been able to take risks and increase the scope and ambition of our events, most notably our recent debut in NYC this year as we entered the US market. Our D*Face collaboration is a perfect example of the level of creativity that Kaspersky's unique relationship with Moniker produces each year."
Aldo Fucelli Pessot del Bo, Head of Global Partnerships and Sponsorships at Kaspersky Lab, added:
“We are proud to be leading the pack in driving innovation on a global scale, both in cybersecurity, but also, contemporary art and future-proof sport like Formula E. Dean (D*Face) is a brilliant artist who we have admired for a long time and continues our tradition of working with the best in urban art.
“This is a world-first that we are extremely proud of, not only to stand out from the norm, but also to create compelling art with a purpose. The colourful artwork in Dean’s creation cleverly merges our tagline ‘A Company To Save The World’ with a message for all of us to unleash the creativity and super hero laden in us all to help make this world a safer and better place. Be that just purchasing our limited-edition D*Face Total Security v.2019 product or making a stand for the many issues affecting this planet.”
