Hybrid rally car banned for being too fast [video]



What has been called the “world’s greenest rally car” has been kicked out of its championship because it’s too fast. The gasoline-electric Honda Insight hybrid, which competes in Britain’s Formula 1000 rally championship, has been asked to withdraw following concerns from rival competitors that it has an unfair advantage, after dominating the 2011 series with two wins and a second place from the first three rounds.

The car, which uses a tuned gasoline-electric hybrid system to give it more power and better fuel efficiency, has been developed by the Oaktec team from Lancaster over a six-year period using the low-emission Honda car as a base. The developments of the green technology have been so successful that the eco-car, which can return 2.8 L/100 km when driven slowly, has blown away a field of conventional rally cars to gain a 19-point championship lead after just three rallies.

The championship organizers phoned the Oaktec team to request that it stand down from the series and compete the car in a higher class to appease rival competitors. The team has agreed to the demand and will now look to race in other classes.

“It was a bit of a shock when I got the call as, after six years of hard work ,we finally had our chance for a bit of glory,” says Oaktec boss Paul Andrews. “But I fully understand the perspective of the organizers and their wish not to spoil the sport for the other drivers. Formula 1000 is a great championship and they were really supportive by allowing us to compete with these new hybrid technologies in their rallies and we always agreed that if we had a clear advantage we would step aside.

“It’s a shame it had to happen mid-season, but it’s the risk you face in going against the grain and trying something radical. If it fails, no one notices; if it’s successful, you have an unfair advantage. I think our project has made people realize that there is a real future for genuinely green technologies in motorsport and other leisure activities.”

To prove the eco-credentials of the tuned Honda hybrid system, Oaktec entered the rally car in a fuel economy competition and returned 3.45 L/100 km, beating the next best car, a small diesel, by almost a litre per 100 km. It has regularly returned less than 2.8 L/100 km in testing and has ultra-low CO2 emissions, yet uses the same combination of efficient engine, batteries and electric motor to win rallies.

In addition, the car is unique in motorsport because it uses a continuously variable transmission developed by Bosch, who also sponsor the car.

The legendary "Flying B, a radiator mascot disappeared, is available as an option.


A long hood, short front overhang and long rear overhang helps to convey a sense of power and business, strengthen the muscles of the thighs and the lines flow smoothly drawn heavily from the back of the front wings. The unique design 20-inch wheels (with optional 21-inch) to strengthen the Bentley Mulsanne powerful, sporty position.

Design Director Dirk van Braeckel explains the inspiration behind the distinctive look of the Bentley Mulsanne:. "The ability to design a new Bentley's flagship product is something that has given very little of the design team set out to create a sculptural form that mixes classical signal Bentley heritage with contemporary lines that fight mark of confidence in the 21st century. "

The body produces a new manufacturing facility in Bentley's headquarters in Crewe, where the traditional metallurgical expertise, developed over six decades, are still widely used during the nine weeks the construction process. It is the opposite of volume car production in the construction ... but the very embodiment of Bentley.

Mirrors, for example, completely enveloped the body. This offers a flowing, flawless line of the rear of the car, a perfect complement to become the D-pillar - with the complex curves can be created by a qualified body shop. All spot welds are made by hand during the Bentley Mulsanne, and the construction of all the panel joints are welded by hand. These continue to improve this "solid appearance cut 'and leads to a very rigid.

The complex form of aluminum front fenders, impossible to obtain a standard pressing techniques that have been created using superforming, technology usually reserved for the aerospace industry. This also makes the wings and a lighter, stiffer, and offers an excellent definition of the surface. Other lightweight materials such as composite tailgate, used to remove the mass as possible without compromising quality.

New techniques for construction designers may also include details such as the 'floating' LED tail lights elliptical, which identifies the echo of the shape of the exhaust gases.

To highlight the beauty of the body, features Bentley Mulsanne 'brightware "exclusively in polished stainless steel, including frames and trim mesh matrix. Bentley is the only manufacturer in the world to do that. The stainless steel door provides also save the traditional Bentley "knurling" on board surface for better grip, reflecting the attention on a typical detail.

The forging of the two British luxury brands provides its customers with the world's most powerful 2200 watt car amplifier, eight dedicated DSP and 20 custom settings for the speaker, the incomparable sound quality.

A keyless entry system allows multiple configurations and automatically pre-programmed radio stations, phone, seat (including ventilation and massage modes, both front and rear), steering column and the parameters of the band and blinds, including electrical controls for the side rear seat and rear window. World premiere, the system works with the unlocked door handles in stainless steel, incorporating the points of contact to initiate communication with the key for verification and entry. The Bentley Mulsanne also has keyless start, that has a button start / stop in the center console.

Bentley interior design team has continued and developed the luxurious interiors, which are known for cars, which is based on extensive research to identify the signature of the characteristics that defined the classic Bentley in 1920 to the present day.

Armed with this valuable resource, the design team of the Bentley Mulsanne was very hard for the goals of the major hardware features such as interior design, odor, color and harmony at home. Similar goals have been set for the refinement and strength of all operating controls. The result is an interior hand made that fully reflects the traditional values ​​of Bentley, running on the highest possible level, where customers can customize their cars to individual specifications.

As head of interior design, says Robin ago: "More than 170 hours - nearly half of the entire construction process - a step in the creation of the interior of the new Bentley Mulsanne in Crewe, as Bentley to work the opposite of mass production - where we start. more drop. "

The use of wood and leather skins has increased significantly in the creation of a cabin even more refined and luxurious. While the characteristics of conventional design, as the bulls eye vents (also now mounted at the rear), high-quality mirror-matched veneers, leather and hand-finished stainless steel is preserved, they are mixed with new features such as beautiful glass switches.

The cabin is fully enclosed in a ring "reinforcement belt of wood a continuous panel of wood adorning Bentley Mulsanne edge. Needles dial reversed in the instrument cluster is reminiscent Bentley soon as the dashboard and comprehensive design the console is a subtle reminder of the reason Bentley wings.
Customers can choose from a wide range of high quality veneers, bleached and natural appearance, and inlay two choices: setting, contemporary crossbanding. True to the philosophy of Bentley, the customer can also opt for an almost infinite palette of leather and skins, including the 24 "standard" colors, including three new Bentley. This is an unprecedented choice of veneers, leather, leather and paint colors to ensure that the needs of all customers can be perfectly fitted.

After detailed customer feedback, a traditional tanning process has been restored to match the richness, the smell of worn leather is very reminiscent of vintage Bentley. Only a very small number of suppliers that are hidden in the world are able to do that.

The carpet in the Bentley Mulsanne Bentley is unique in its depth greater fiber density and feel the improvement in the quality of the cabin. Available in a variety of colors to complement each individual skin. Pure wool pile rugs Wilton deep tissue and added an extra touch of comfort and luxury.

These fine materials are made by craftsmen and women with 40 years experience.

FIA OK new 1.6-litre V6 engine plans to be introduced in 2014


Formula 1 will officially switch to a 1.6-litre V6 engine format from 2014 after proposals finalised by the sport's stakeholders during last weekend's European Grand Prix were rubber-stamped by the FIA's World Motorsport Council on Wednesday.

According to a statement from the sport's governing body, WMSC members agreed in a fax vote to formalise the new turbo-charged engines, which will feature energy recovery units.

The statement read: "Following a fax vote by its members, the World Motor Sport Council has ratified the engine regulations recently drawn up in consultation with the main stakeholders in Formula One.

"The new power plant will be a V6 1.6 turbo unit with energy recovery systems. This new formula will come into effect as from the start of the 2014 FIA Formula One World Championship season."

F1's teams and the FIA were in deadlock over the engine situation for several weeks until agreement was reached during a Formula 1 Commission meeting prior to the European Grand Prix weekend to delay introducing the regulations by a year to 2014.

The new plans also featured a change in the format from a four cylinder engine to a six cylinder unit - Ferrari having been against the former on marketing grounds. Mercedes and Cosworth had also voiced concerns about development costs. F1 technical chiefs then met in Valencia to give their formal backing to the V6, 1.6-litre plan.

The teams indicated after the Valencia gathering that they would ask for a rise in the proposed rev limit of 12,000rpm to 15,000rpm. It remains unclear whether this was included in the ratified plans. Similarly it is not known whether a request to delay the introduction of new chassis rules set for 2013 - to coincide with the new engine plan - has been successful.
