This is a compilation of highlights and gratuitous slow motion from this year’s Isle of Man TT.
The American Le Mans Series is doing a ALMS 101 series of videos so that fans can get familiar with how they work. In this video they break down the 5 different racing classes and how to tell them apart visually.
If you frequent this blog, I would hope that you can appreciate burnouts, wheelstands and drag racing. If that’s the case, then you liking this next video is a no brainer.
I normally don’t like to post these Shakedown videos of the guys just sitting and chatting, but this one has a lot of interesting news that’s relevant to what we’re about here at Flux Auto. This episode revolves around the 2012 Le Mans 24 hour race that just finished up. Leo talks about how the Toyota TS030 and Audi E-Tron Quattro did as well as the future of the Nissan DeltaWing which was knocked out of the race by a driver who claimed he couldn’t see it in his mirrors. There’s also news about engine restrictions, energy consumption and hybrid drive trains for the race next year. The last part is an interesting bit of news regarding Mazda’s announcement that they were producing Skyactiv diesel engines for P2 cars next year as well. I’m glad to see that the movement to develop fuel efficient performance cars in racing is so strong. Racing breeds strong innovation.
2012 saw British motorcycle racer, John McGuiness, take his 19th win at the Isle of Man TT. His sponsor, Monster Energy, put together this tribute video for him emphasizing just how special of an accomplishment his collection of wins is. McGuiness also placed second in the TT Zero on the Mugen Shinden electric motorcycle this year.
