Ferrari have released their special edition livery for the Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc. and it looks a little familiar... 👀 In a nod to their American links, the colours are near identical to the Ferrari 312B that American driver, Mario Andretti, used in 1971. But the white also brings back memories of Schumacher's 2003 Championship winning car, which had THAT iconic Marlboro rear wing. Ferrari are not the only team to have debuted a race-specific livery on their car this season: 🏎 💫 Red Bull Racing & Red Bull Technology raced a special fan-designed livery on their cars in Austin to celebrate the US Grand Prix. The team used this as an opportunity to promote The Paddock, their fan engagement platform with Oracle receiving over 2,000 entries from dedicated fans. 🏎 💸 McLaren Racing used a specially-designed livery to highlight their sponsors OKX in Japan and Singapore. The initial reveal got 325,000 likes on Instagram, three times more than the engagement on their average post. 🏎 👾 Alfa Romeo debuted a specially-designed livery in collaboration with their sponsor, Kick, at the Belgian GP. It quickly became one of their best performing Instagram posts, gaining 98,000 likes. It’s clear that special livery designs can be used by teams and partners as a marketing tool. Perhaps the best example of a sponsor using this as an asset comes from Gulf Oil International Group. Gulf's iconic colours have dominated the motorsport world for decades, with liveries on race cars from AUDI AG, McLaren Racing, Porsche AG, Aston Martin, and most recently, Williams Racing. In fact, McLaren Racing’s Gulf livery from Monaco 2021 was so popular with fans that the reveal video on YouTube garnered 690k views, over 1990% more views than the team's other livery reveals 🤯 So, if you're a brand looking to get into motorsports, it's clearly valuable to consider special livery designs as part of your partnership package.

People often compare Formula 1 and Formula E. Differences in speed, engineering, regulations etc. But one stat in particular - OVERTAKES - speaks for itself. 2021 Monaco GP - ZERO overtakes 2021 Monaco E-Prix - 28 overtakes F1 may have the advantage of being at the pinnacle of the sport with all the legacy and prestige that comes with it, but if raw, wheel-to-wheel racing is what you're after, then you're in the wrong place. Formula E has had five winners (and nine different podium sitters) from five races in 2024. When did we last have an 'uncommon' podium sitter in F1? Pierre Gasly in Zandvoort, way back in August 2023. Since then, it's either a Red Bull, Mercedes, or Ferrari domination, with the odd Aston Martin and McLaren here and there. Scott Mansell did an excellent video comparing the two series from a driver's perspective and found that the less grip and aero made for more excitement at the wheel. Harder tyres aren't as sticky, but last longer, so drivers don't have to nurse their tyres to the end (which = push push push from the start) Having less reliance on aero means that contact between cars won't result in early retirement as often as in F1, since the cars can (and do) continue while missing a front wing or end plate. Scott summed it up perfectly: 'As a motorsport fan, that's what I want to watch - racing where I don't know who's going to win.' And no doubt, that's why we're seeing a drop in viewers for F1. The racing is predictable and overtakes are few and far between. Plus, it's getting bloody expensive for fans to attend in person. If you haven't already checked out a Formula E race, you're doing yourself a disservice. It's super tight racing on super tight street circuits and is even ideal if you have a super tight budget. Might even see me at the London E-Prix if you're lucky... P.S. I had to share this beauty - a Formula E x Liberty Walk collab on the streets of Shibuya... #Motorsport #Copywriting #FormulaE #Formula1

#Lamborghini #SC63 #Racecar Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. Lamborghini Squadra Corse launched its first hybrid endurance racing prototype, the SC63, at 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed. The SC63, which will begin testing within weeks, is set to compete in the Hypercar class of the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and in the GTP class of the IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Championship Endurance Cup, comprising classic races such as the 24 Hours of Daytona and 12 Hours of Sebring. Lamborghini has partnered with Italian team Iron Lynx to run the car in international competition and has signed world-class drivers from the world of Formula 1 and endurance racing. The LMDh project represents a new concept of racing and fits the Direzione Cor Tauri strategy presented in 2021: a roadmap for electrification leading the company to hybridize the entire model range by the end of 2024 enhancing driving emotions and performances at the same time. Thanks to the SC63 this approach has been applied also to the motorsport programme representing a new pillar of the Lamborghini Manifesto: Driving Humans Beyond. "The SC63 is the most advanced racing car ever produced by Lamborghini and it follows our roadmap 'Direzione Cor Tauri' laid out by the brand for the electrification of our product range," says Stephan Winkelmann, Lamborghini Chairman and CEO. "The opportunity to compete in some of the biggest endurance races in the world with a hybrid prototype fits with our vision for the future of high-performance mobility, as demonstrated for road legal cars with the launch of the Revuelto. The SC63 LMDh is the step into the highest echelons and into the future of motorsports for our Squadra Corse." The Lamborghini SC63 features an all-new 3.8-liter twin turbo V8 engine that has been developed by Lamborghini engineers specifically for the racing program. The engine is a 'cold V' configuration, meaning that the turbos are mounted outside the vee angle of the engine which makes them easier to cool and to service. Furthermore, the 'cold V' solution lowers the mass and optimizes the car's centre of gravity. This solution, combined with a specifically developed aero balance and attitude, has been identified as the most effective to achieve the best tyre grip, and perfect balance, drivability and consistent speed both over a single lap but also across long distance races. Power from the engine and the hybrid system, which is standard across the LMDh-category cars, is limited by regulation to 500kW (680 CV). The Power Unit is managed by a Bosch electronic control unit. The LMDh rule set specifies a standard gearbox, battery and motor generator unit (MGU), which helps to contain the development costs for the prototype. "Motorsport is, to us, also a valuable and demanding proving ground for our technology," states Rouven Mohr, "Our LMDh car, the Lamborghini SC63, is an exciting challenge from both a technical and a human standpoint.

LOT 38 <> Jean-Pierre Osenat Osenat Alfa Romeo 1969 ALFA ROMEO TIPO 33/2 "DAYTONA" Estimate: 2,000,000 - 2,500,000 EUR 1969 Alfa Romeo Tipo 33/2 "Daytona" Chassis: 75033009 2l engine: number 015 2.5l engine: number 20 00 42 The Alfa Romeo 33 marked the brand's return to the highest level of motor sport. At the end of 1951, Alfa Romeo withdrew from all international competition, and the famous Disco Volante, destined to race in the 1952 Le Mans 24-hour race, never made it. In the early '60s, with the collaboration of Autodelta, Alfa Romeo returned to racing success with the fabulous GTA, TZ and TZ2. These successes prompted Alfa Romeo to consider a return to international competition. In September 1964, the 105.33 project was launched. In September 1965, the first prototype equipped with the TZ2 engine was produced. For the engine, the engineers opted for a two-liter V8, secretly developed during the '50s. Intended for racing in the Sport Prototype championship, the 33 was the second Alfa Romeo to be fitted with a mid-rear engine, after the Tipo 512 in 1939. After intensive development on the Balloco track, the car was ready. On March 6, 1967, the car was entered in the Fléron hill-climb in Belgium. The event marked Alfa Romeo's triumphant return to the highest level. Unfortunately, the reliability of this first 33 was not to be. Carlo Chiti redesigned the car from top to bottom, and the cars built to date were also modified. The 33 B made its debut at the 1968 Daytona 24 Hours, winning the under 2000 cm3 class. Following this success, the car was quickly dubbed the 33/2 Daytona. At the end of the 1968 season, autodelta stopped running the 33/2, concentrating its efforts on the future 33/3. All 33/2s were then sold to satellite teams and to the brand's various European importers. In 1969, SOFAR, the Alfa Romeo importer in France, acquired three Alfa Romeo 33/2s to promote the brand in France. These cars competed in the Sport Prototype championship, as well as in France's top events. The 75033009 chassis is one of them. It has the exceptional distinction of having been registered on 14/10/1969 by SOFAR under the number 8270 VW 75. #classic #classics #classiccars #collectorcars #carcollectors #historic #vintage #performance #racing #rallying #driving #car #cars #automotiveindustry #auto #autos #autoindustry #auction #forsale #sold #automotive #investment #privatesale 

In a continuation of bringing the best of the best, la creme de la creme, RM Sotheby's and Sotheby's Motorsport bring you #Dubai2024. LOT 141 Dubai 2023 Aston Martin Valkyrie Coupé $2,900,000 - $3,300,000 USD   | Dubai, United Arab Emirates Chassis No. SCF4KRB41PGS70051 To be offered on Friday, 8 March 2024 Aston Martin’s Formula 1-inspired road-legal race car; one of only 150 examples produced 1,140 brake horsepower available from electric motor-assisted Cosworth V-12 engine 0-100 km/h in just 2.6 seconds with top speed reported to be in excess of 400 km/h Finished in Scintilla Silver with Speed Red graphics Only 123 kilometres on the odometer at the time of cataloguing; presented in “as new” condition The concept of a road-legal car that can answer to the upper echelons of performance in motorsport is a familiar one, with some memorable race-bred machines permitted to wear licence plates and take to the road over the years, yet few have delivered in such uncompromising fashion as the Aston Martin Valkyrie. Born of a partnership between Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing, it was the latter’s technical director and aerodynamics guru, Adrian Newey, who had a heavy hand in the Valkyrie’s conception. The brief for the hypercar was to be as close as possible to an F1 car without being restricted to the track. Aston Martin could be forgiven for hyperbole when it comes to the Valkyrie, but few could quibble with its assertion that it pushes the boundaries, describing its development as a “remarkable journey in engineering to make the impossible possible”. Just how arduous that journey proved was apparent in the time taken for the car to reach production. After the idea was initially conceived in 2014, the first version of the Valkyrie was showcased in 2016. In July 2019, a prototype made its dynamic debut at Silverstone prior to the British Grand Prix. The persistence and perseverance paid off, however, in the realisation of a hypercar that breaks new ground, as the Valkyrie’s key statistics testify. An astonishing 1,000 brake horsepower is available from the naturally aspirated, 6.5-litre Cosworth V-12 engine, which revs to an outrageous 11,100 rpm. Total output is increased further to 1,140 brake horsepower thanks to assistance from an electric motor via the hybrid system, partially developed by Rimac, that boosts power on demand in a similar way to F1’s KERS technology, and channelled through a single clutch, seven-speed sequential gearbox. With a peak figure of 900 Nm of torque available at 6,000 rpm, acceleration is devastating with a 0-100 km/h time of 2.6 seconds achieved on the way to a top speed reportedly in excess of 400 km/h. But the figures don’t tell the whole story. #classic #classics #classiccars #collectorcars #carcollectors #historic #vintage #performance #racing #rallying #driving #car #cars #automotiveindustry #auto #autos #autoindustry #auction #forsale #sold #automotive #investment #privatesale
