BMW 1 Series Coupe M MotoGP Safety Car - the truth

Visually, there have been some changes over the 1M road going, that should go on sale in April 2011. Leaf new bonnet is made of carbon fiber, there are more installed splitter front bumper and side and rear windows made of polycarbonate and an adjustable rear wing. N. light bar on the roof official reporting functions and the package is wrapped in a color to suit hard M

Inside, a partially stripped inside-out with a bolt in cage, replacing the rear seats, a pair of lightweight Recaro racing buckets in front with six-point harnesses and a fire extinguisher.

The suspension should follow the upgrade made the suspension geometry and shock absorbers to meet every 18 circuits of the MotoGP. blacks 19-inch wheels and tires (255/35 front and 285/35 rear) to hide thicker than a six-piston brake racing.

MotoGP? Could not have a motorcycle safety? Why use a 1 Series BMW M Coupe?

And where safety on a bike that meets the bar of light? BMW M has provided support vehicles in MotoGP since 1999, with the M Coupe Series 1 marks 13 years as official supplier. 1M addition, BMW also provide cars and M3 X6M safety reserve for 2011. The organizers of MotoGP has been given a BMW X5M safety officer and a BMW X6 ActiveHybrid for goalkeepers. MotoGP car care is a BMW 535i Touring, and provide additional security of two bikes: a BMW S1000 RR and a BMW HP2 Sport.

Any chance of harder, faster 1-Series Coupe M?

Very little. BMW M Division has seen both a convertible version of the CSL and M-1 series, but their engineers are questionable, the request is not the first, and the case could set a M3 CSL then (possibly on the same level price as a M3) will not see daylight either.

LE MANS: Hope Hybrid Set For History-Making Debut

While the Panoz Q9 nearly became the first hybrid to run at Le Mans back in pre-qualifying in 1998, it appears the history books will finally be re-written this weekend when Hope Racing’s Oreca Swiss HyTech Hybrid takes to the track for Saturday’s 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Thirteen years after the revolutionary, but overweight “Sparky” failed to qualify for the French classic, the Swiss-based team, led by co-owners Benoit Morand and Jean-Marie Brulhart, have ticked all of the necessary boxes required to make the history-making debut, although it all came down to the wire, quite literally.

With the car having been withdrawn from the second Intercontinental Le Mans Cup round at Spa due to a vibration that affected its Flybrid-built hybrid, Hope was given until May 20 to get its car certified by the ACO, otherwise face expulsion from the the race.

In order to be certified, the Oreca 01, powered by a 2.0-liter Lehmann four-cylinder turbo, needed to complete the entire length of the Le Mans pit lane (400 meters) entirely on KERS. Sure enough, the test was scheduled for May 20, the final day in the ACO’s deadline, at the Lurcy-Levis circuit in France.

“It was almost something from the movies, the way it happened,” technical director Andrew Sayer said. “The ACO arrived at about 4 p.m. in bright sunshine, as it was for the two days. Michelin left, taking all the wet tires with them, but then a couple of dark clouds started appearing. As we’re discussing with the ACO and showing them around the system, big spots of rain started to come down.

“Obviously I was panicking. [Team co-owner Benoit Morand] runs in and says, ‘Can we go now?’ There was a motorbike track day going on at the same time, so they stopped half an hour early for us. We pushed the car out to the straight line and marked out [the distance points] with the ACO. We then did our engine charge... Steve [Zacchia] then pulled away and stalled it, the first time he did that in the last six days of testing!

“He pulled up to 60 kph, cut the engine before the first cone, ended up driving 463 meters on the KERS. Steve then started the engine back up, turned around and came back to us. We put the umbrella over him to keep him cool. By the time we connected the computer to download the data, it was raining so hard that we had to take the umbrella off Steve and push back to the garage immediately!

“Literally, five minutes after we had done the test [the rains came].. We had one shot and we did it in one shot. We couldn’t have done it again anyway because the rain was so bad!”

While it was no doubt a close call to making it into Le Mans, Sayer says the original problem, the natural vibration of the internal combustion powerplant that caused a resonance issue with the hybrid, has been alleviated by going with a different sized flywheel and modifying the engine insulation.

And with two further days of testing in the books at Magny-Cours, where all three of its drivers, Steve Zacchia, Casper Elgaard and Le Mans veteran Jan Lammers, who will be making his 22nd start at Le Mans, racked up a total of 750 kilometers, the team is hopeful of making a solid debut run.

“We’re happy with the performance of the car as it stands at the current moment,” Sayer said. “We know there’s more to come, but I think we’re definitely looking for a finish because having something that’s so new, to be able to finish the race would be amazing.”

Top Gear Eco Special (Spoof) [video]

In answer to Top Gear's childish antics when it comes to anything that Plugs-In, a group of friends from London have produced a spoof video of the up coming Nissan Leaf / Peugeot Ion episode.

For all the multi millions in the BBC's Top Gear budget, the production values of this camcorder spoof look surprisingly similar to the real thing!
