Quotes forward of the Barcelona spherical.

Marc Bongers, BMW Motorrad Motorsport Director: “The results from the season opener in Australia give us a lot of momentum heading into the second race weekend in Barcelona. Of course, Phillip Island is a very unique track, and now the deck is being reshuffled. However, also the insights from the Barcelona test last week have left us feeling optimistic. There we were able to see the pace of our BMW M 1000 RR again. Now, the challenge is to convert this into corresponding results during the race weekend. Qualifying forms the crucial foundation for the races, and our goal is to secure strong starting positions with all four riders. If the race pace also is strong, this is the base for successful races in this extremely competitive field. In the past, Barcelona hasn’t necessarily been one of the tracks that suit us best, but we have worked hard and approach the weekend with confidence.”

Garrett Gerloff (#31 BMW M 1000 RR, Bonovo motion BMW Racing Team): “I’m really looking forward to this weekend in Barcelona. It’s a track that I really enjoy and where I’ve had success in the past so I can’t wait to get there and seeing if we can have a really good weekend. The BMW M 1000 RR felt good at the test and there are still a couple of things that I want to improve but all in all I think we have a strong package and I’m looking forward to starting the weekend.”

Toprak Razgatlioglu (#54 BMW M 1000 RR, ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team): “I think it will not be an easy race weekend for me because we need further improve tyre life but the test was also very positive, we also worked on race pace and that was very good. We are still not at really 100 per cent but I am learning the bike every day and we are improving. My general feeling is not bad. This race weekend will be very important for me. I try to make it to the podium and my big target is to win the race because I never won at Catalunya before. I hope we will win this weekend, I will try to do my best.”

Scott Redding (#45 BMW M 1000 RR, Bonovo motion BMW Racing Team): “The Barcelona weekend will be an interesting one. We know that it’s not one of our stronger circuits on the calendar. Obviously having a test last week we were able to work on the bike set-up, trying to improve our weak points which is always good. Everyone is working super hard to do the best that we can. The race weekend is always different so we need to see with track conditions and weather. Hopefully we can have some better results than at Phillip Island, trying to get back on track and keep improving.”

Michael van der Mark (#60 BMW M 1000 RR, ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team): “It’s nice to go out on track and have another race weekend. It’s good that we had a test there last week and I think we are quite ready for the race weekend. We have a good base, we just have to work on details. Barcelona circuit is a fantastic race track. I think one of the key things to work on is to get a full race distance out of the tyres, mainly the front. It will be interesting but I’m looking forward to it. I had a good feeling at the test and also in Australia, we have seen how strong we can be. I can’t wait to race again and to fight for the best positions.”

The Kimera Evo38 Is The New Rally Car Lancia Won’t Build

After being dormant for a few years, Lancia returned with a reskinned Peugeot 208 for the new Ypsilon. But Another Italian firm, Kimera Automobili, has a greater concept to revitalize the troubled model. Meet the Evo38, a modern-day tribute to a automobile that formally by no means existed—the Lancia 038.

The 038 was presupposed to be an evolution of the 037—the final rear-wheel-drive automobile to win the WRC title again in 1983. It had been engineered with all-wheel drive and extra energy in a bid to maintain up with the Audi Quattro S1 however it by no means noticed the sunshine of day. The Delta S4 outmoded the 037 however there was no 038, regardless of at the very least one prototype being made and examined. In an try to repair historical past, Kimera is bringing again the 038.

The new automobile is a follow-up to the Kimera Evo37 launched in 2021, however now with all-wheel drive and roughly 100 extra horsepower with a much bigger turbocharger and different {hardware} revisions. It routes almost 600 hp to each axles by a six-speed guide transmission modified with shorter gear ratios.

With ample carbon fiber and titanium, the group behind the Evo38 has restricted the load penalty of including AWD. It weighs roughly 1,100 kilograms (2,425 kilos), so roughly as a lot as a Mazda MX-5 Miata RF or an Alpine A110S.

Kimera Evo38

This “Integrale” model has an electrohydraulic differential controllable from the within by permitting the motive force to decide on how a lot energy goes to the wheels. The suspension has been tweaked in comparison with the 037 and now has electronically managed shock absorbers together with a raise system.

The Kimera Evo37 had a 2.1-liter engine made by Italtecnica re-engineered below the steerage of Lancia engineer Claudio Lombardi. There are plans to promote the Evo38 with an electronically actuated sequential gearbox.

Kimera intends to convey the Evo38 to the 2024 Geneva Motor Show subsequent week earlier than beginning manufacturing of the 38 items later this 12 months. Pricing particulars haven’t been disclosed however the 037 was supplied in 37 examples at €480,000 a pop. In at present’s cash, that is about $520,000.

Kimera Ok-39 teaser

Interestingly, the corporate has arrange a devoted web page on its web site for a 3rd future mannequin. There’s already a countdown till the Ok-39 will likely be unveiled in 120 days, so offered our math is correct, the debut date is locked in for June 22, 2024.

In a great world, Lancia would’ve launched a rally-bred automobile in 2024 to kickstart its revival. But finally, the Ypsilon made extra sense because it’s primarily based on a number of current Stellantis merchandise, such because the Peugeot 208 and Opel Corsa.

But corporations like Kimera are prepared to money in on that heritage by producing what Lancia will not. Just put together to pony up some severe cash.

Why the Second-Gen Ford GT was Created Instead of the Mustang for Le Mans

The existence of the latest Ford GT was not a guarantee. Originally, Ford had planned to return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2016 with a Mustang.

Ford’s decision to re-enter this iconic race came after the launch of the sixth-generation Mustang in 2015. This Mustang was designed to be a global vehicle, available in both left- and right-hand drive configurations. As a result, Ford began considering the possibility of using the Mustang to compete and win at Le Mans in 2016, as revealed by Ford CEO Jim Farley in a recent interview with Top Gear magazine during the debut of the Mustang GTD.

300 DUAL-SPORT BIKES: KAWASAKI VS HONDA–THE WRAP

This article compares two small-bore dual-sport bikes: the Honda CRF300L and the Kawasaki KLX300. Both bikes are priced around $5500 and are manufactured in Thailand. They are designed for simple transportation rather than fast off-road riding.

The Honda CRF300L and Kawasaki KLX300 are more about trail transportation than dirt thrills.

The Honda CRF300L was first introduced as the CRF250L in 2013 but received a major update in 2021. It features a 286cc engine with new camshafts, redesigned airbox and exhaust, and Nissin brakes. The suspension is basic with only adjustable spring preload in the rear. The bike weighs 286 pounds without fuel.

The Honda has the upper hand in mid-range power and ground clearance.

The Kawasaki KLX300 has a different history. It has been in and out of production since 1994. The off-road version of the KLX300 lasted for about 15 years, while the dual-sport version KLX250 was introduced in 2006 and lasted until 2014. The current version of the bike was released in 2021 with a 292cc engine. The Kawasaki has better suspension than the Honda, with adjustable rebound damping in the fork and adjustable preload, rebound, and compression damping in the shock. The bike weighs 282 pounds without fuel.

The Kawasaki gets the better of the Honda in the suspension department. It also is a more compact motorcycle.

Both bikes have taller seat heights than expected. The lowest part of the Kawasaki’s seat is 36.5 inches, while the Honda’s is 37.2 inches. The Kawasaki settles more when its suspension is under its own weight, making it easier for shorter riders to touch the ground. However, the Honda has more ground clearance. Both bikes come with street-oriented tires that need to be replaced with knobbies for off-road riding.

The Honda and Kawasaki have similar performance, with both producing around 23 horsepower and revving out around 9500 rpm. They are capable of respectable speed on level, hard-packed trails but struggle in sandy hills. The Honda has slightly more low-end power and is geared lower in first and second gear. Both bikes could benefit from lower final gearing for better off-road performance. The Honda has a wider seat and more ground clearance, making it better suited for taller and more experienced riders.

The Honda CRF300L weighs 286 pounds without fuel. The Kawasaki KLX300 is 282 pounds without fuel–both measured on our scale.

In terms of suspension, both bikes are not optimized for off-road riding and are more suited for comfortable riding around the campsite. The Kawasaki offers some adjustability, while the Honda lacks any adjustability and could benefit from improved damping. While both bikes can be improved with aftermarket upgrades, they are not built for racing. The overall winner between the two bikes is yet to be determined.

BACK IN THE DAY

The article concludes with a discussion of notable motocross bikes from the past. Some of the bikes mentioned include the 1981 Suzuki RM125, which was the first liquid-cooled dirt bike from Suzuki, the 1981 Maico MC490, which is highly regarded by vintage bike enthusiasts, the 1981 Honda CR250R, known for its innovative liquid-cooling and single shock suspension, and the 1981 Yamaha YZ125, the first mainstream liquid-cooled motocross bike.
