    Everything You Need to Know about the 24 Hours of Le Mans Race

    First run in 1923, the annual 24 Hours of Le Mans in France is the world’s greatest sports-car race. On the famous Mulsanne straight, the fastest cars top 200 mph.In 2021, the race takes place August 21–22. Sixty-two cars started the race on Saturday, August 21, at 3 p.m. local time (9 a.m. Eastern time, for U.S. viewers), with fans in attendance limited to 50,000 instead of the usual quarter-million.The 24 Hours of Le Mans is auto racing’s Boston Marathon, a brutal test of endurance where competitors race stunningly fast cars for 24 straight hours at speeds that can exceed 200 mph on the fastest section of the incredibly long 8.5-mile Circuit de la Sarthe road course. The race is a punishing test that pushes driver and machine to their limits—and sometimes beyond. Here’s everything you need to know to make sense of the race, which takes the green flag on Saturday, August 21.What is it? The 89th running of the world’s most prestigious sports-car race, which lasts (as its name makes clear) for 24 hours.When is the 2021 24 Hours of Le Mans? August 21–22, starting at 9 a.m. Eastern time.How to watch? Live online at the Motor Trend on-demand website (paywall) or the Motor Trend cable-TV channel; excerpts on the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO) YouTube channel.

    Where is the 24 Hours of Le Mans held? Circuit de la Sarthe, Le Mans, France.What time does it start? Coverage begins at 8:00 a.m. U.S. Eastern time, with the race starting at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time (3:00 p.m. local time).History, hellish events, and high speeds are the key ingredients that make the 24 Hours of Le Mans the world’s greatest sports-car race. It is both famous and infamous for the triumphs and tragedies that have occurred there. Started in 1923 as a showcase for car manufacturers to prove the durability of their vehicles in competition, it has evolved into a high-speed chess match among top professional racing teams where strategy, teamwork, and great driving skill are as important as a car’s reliability and technological edge.The race is staged annually, normally in mid-June (but these are not normal times), by the French sanctioning organization Automobile Club de l’Ouest. Four classes of cars compete side by side, which can make the racing confusing, but a team of knowledgeable TV commentators keeps the action sorted out for you. Le Mans is part of the FIA World Endurance Championship, which includes long-distance races in nine countries. Through the years, automobile manufacturers including Porsche, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Toyota, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Jaguar, and Chevrolet have invested tens of millions in their race teams with the hope of taking the winner’s laurels and basking in the marketing glory a win confers.The top two classes, LMP1 and LMP2, are made up of purpose-built race cars that can cost millions and are supported by large crews of engineers and technicians. The cars look like four-wheeled fighter jets and employ advanced aerodynamics to suck them to the track, which enables astounding speed in the corners. The current rules encourage teams to race gasoline-electric hybrids, and last year’s winning car, Toyota’s TS050 LMP1, utilized that technology to make a claimed 986 horsepower. LMP2 cars are similar but less complex, are powered by conventional gasoline engines, and are not quite as fast as the LMP1s.About two-thirds of the field is composed of the other two classes competing in the race, the GT, or grand touring, cars: GTE-Pro and GTE-Am. These classes are based on highly modified versions of production-line sports cars with recognizable names and shapes from makers such as Ferrari, Porsche, Chevrolet, Ford, and Audi. They have about 500 horsepower, and the infighting is fierce as these cars battle for position and class wins while trying to stay out of the way of the flying prototypes. As their names imply, GTE-Pro is for full-time professional drivers and manufacturer teams, while GTE-Am is for amateur drivers and private teams. This year’s new Hypercar class promises to add interest and could make some fresh history.All teams must rotate three drivers through the car during the race, with no one driver behind the wheel for more than a total of 14 hours. Driver changes happen in conjunction with pit stops for fuel and fresh tires.History runs deep at the Circuit de la Sarthe, the name of the 8.5-mile temporary course that roars to life in the sleepy French countryside every June. The original race was run entirely on local roads, but for reasons of safety it now combines sections of public road knitted together with stretches of purpose-built racetrack. The famous Mulsanne straight, part of the original track, is still in use. One of the world’s longest racing straightaways at 3.7 miles, it’s actually a public road, French route départementale D338, except for those few days each year when it is closed down for the 24-hour event. Another tradition: the race cars undergo one of their several technical inspections in the Le Mans town square, where they can be viewed up close by the general public. And the spraying of champagne after a race win? That was started at Le Mans as well, by American Dan Gurney after winning the 1967 race.Racing dynasties have flourished and faded across the 86 years the event has run—it was canceled for 10 years during World War II and in 1936 because of strikes across France. Bentley and Alfa Romeo both made their early reputations with four consecutive wins each in the 1930s. Jaguar and Ferrari dominated the 1950s and 1960s. Henry Ford II’s personal rivalry with Enzo Ferrari resulted in his company deciding to build the Ford GT40, which defeated Ferrari in four straight Le Mans races from 1966 through 1969. Porsche was the dominant force in the 1980s, and Audi prototypes notched an amazing 13 wins between 2000 and 2014.Along with racing triumphs, the race has been the scene of tragedies. The worst of them occurred during the 1955 event, when a Mercedes 300SLR race car crashed at high speed on the front straight, launching flaming parts into the crowd and killing 83 spectators. It remains the worst auto-racing accident in history. As a result, automobile racing was temporarily banned in several European countries. Major safety improvements were made to the Circuit de la Sarthe in the wake of the 1955 event; numerous safety upgrades for both spectators and the racers have been implemented in the decades since. Race cars were already reaching speeds in excess of 225 mph on the Mulsanne by the early 1970s, so a pair of tight zigzag chicanes were added partway down the straight to bring speeds down. Despite the changes, the fastest of today’s race cars will still top 200 mph on the Mulsanne. And that can still mean trouble, as when driver Peter Dumbreck’s Mercedes race car flipped into the trees in 1999; he somehow escaped without major injury.The danger and excitement of 1970s-era Le Mans competition was captured for the silver screen by racer/actor Steve McQueen in his movie Le Mans. And a recent tribute video of the Le Mans event brings McQueen’s spare depiction up to date by evoking the romance that is the Le Mans 24 Hours. Here’s a preview of what you’ll see in the 2021 race.

    Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, Corvette Stingray Top List of Cars That Cost More Used Than New

    CarInsurance.org found that the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid and the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray were the biggest gainers last month, topping the list of used cars with prices above new-car MSRP.Using different metrics, iSeeCars recently found that the Kia Telluride, GMC Sierra 1500, and Toyota Tacoma were the top three used cars that cost more than new versions.The2020 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid had a starting MSRP of $29,470, but every example available on Edmunds right now costs more than that, with some base models daring to have a $35,000-plus asking price.New and used vehicle prices are not following the traditional rules these days. The average new-car price hit $41,044 in July, a jump of 17 percent over the year before and, more important, the highest average ever recorded, according to data from J.D. Power and LMC Automotive Forecast. Meanwhile, the confluence of COVID-19, semiconductor chip shortages, and the resulting manufacturing delays has meant that you can’t necessarily find the new car you want when you want it. So demand for used cars has become so great that sellers can practically write their own prices—and they’re doing just that.[editoriallinks id=’163b21fc-5d5c-469c-acbb-1c2456c7519b’ align=’left’][/editoriallinks] Take the 2020 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid in base LE trim, for example. The popular and fuel-efficient small SUV had an official starting MSRP of $29,470, including Toyota’s $1120 delivery fee. But if you were to look at the used listings on Edmunds.com for a 2020 RAV4 Hybrid, you will not find any that are listed below that price. Every one of the 38 used 2020 RAV4 Hybrids currently for sale cost more than the vehicle did when it was new, with many of them featuring an asking price well above $35,000. The price of a new 2021 RAV4 starts at $30,115, including the $1215 delivery fee.CarInsurance.org took a look at Edmunds data to find the vehicles with the biggest delta between their 2020 MSRP and their current highest used car asking prices. The group found that the 10 most popular used cars had a price that was, on average, $7557 higher compared to their new purchase price. Percentage-wise, the RAV4 Hybrid had the largest price increase at $10,493, representing a jump of 37 percent, the group said. The second-highest increase was found in the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, which jumped up 28 percent, or $22,865. [image id=’ba693fa7-5f59-4607-b575-bdc4e1d44bea’ mediaId=’14169c4f-37d6-4f96-a17a-820e260cf849′ align=’center’ size=’medium’ share=’false’ caption=’2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. ‘ expand=” crop=’18×11′][/image]Chevrolet kept the official MSRP for the brand’s first ever production mid-engine Corvette the same for the 2021 model year as it was for 2020, which means the Stingray costs $60,995 for the coupe and $68,495 for the convertible, including Chevy’s $1095 destination fees. Looking at the actual prices for vehicles available today, there are more than 500 of the 2020 Stingray available on Edmunds, and the lowest-priced one costs $87,500. Sure, that particular example comes with the $1195 Performance Exhaust option, but that doesn’t begin to explain the almost $20,000 price difference.Whatever the exact price increases are for a model you might be interested in, used cars that cost more than new versions are becoming a bit of a trend. Last month, iSeeCars looked at the differences between prices of 2019–2020 model used cars and 2020–2021 model new cars. After analyzing 470,000 listings, the difference between the two groups was just 3.1 percent, down from a 10.8 percent difference in November 2020. iSeeCars found 16 models that cost more used than new, with the Kia Telluride, GMC Sierra 1500, and Toyota Tacoma leading the pack.[poll id=’5f9b409b-253e-4655-a332-a6180923454e_6a0e50dca37b8′ type=’text’ question=’Time to sell that used car?’ answer1=’Already on it.’ answer2=’I’m not ready or don’t want to sell, thanks.’][/poll]

    DAB Electric Motorcycle Concept-E Debuts With 110 Kms Range

    DAB Electric Motorcycle Concept-E. Image- BikeExif
    A production version of the DAB Concept-E is yet very distant and not likely to reach outside France
    With the automotive world racing towards electric mobility, we often get to witness some path-breaking designs and innovations in this space. DAB Concept-E is one such electric motorcycle that stands out distinctly due to its off-beat design. The concept is a result of an effort from French motorcycle manufacturer DAB Motors.
    The brand already has a repertoire of creating some really attractive custom motorcycles and DAB Concept-E is no different. The Concept-E electric bike is the company’s first venture into EV space and has adopted a minimalist design approach. Recently, a prototype of the upcoming electric motorcycle went online which revealed some of its crucial details.
    Styling
    DAB Electric Motorcycle Concept-E has been designed with inputs from the Outercraft design studio and has been able to combine futuristic design and easy performance for commuting duties. The design looks elegant and fresh thanks to the carbon fiber bodywork employed.
    The bike’s frame and swingarm have been designed in such a way that all wiring has been housed within the body panels away from the naked eye, thus resulting in giving it a clean look. The overall design of the bike is an amalgam of a modern roadster and supermoto.
    DAB Electric Motorcycle Concept-E
    Features
    The motorcycle has been kitted with a slew of premium features including a pair of bespoke suspension units from Ohlins. Braking is handled by CNC machined Beringer calipers made of aluminium on both front and rear wheels. It is unclear if ABS is part of the safety package. Golden-coloured inverted front forks and a full carbon-fiber swingarm are some other styling highlights.
    An LED speedometer console has been mounted at the front while a slim LED headlight has been placed below a flat-track-inspired board. Since the chassis has been made of carbon fibre components, it is extremely nimble which enhances its overall handling performance.
    Specifications
    Coming to its specifications, DAB Concept-E has been installed with a 10 kW (13.4 bhp) electric motor which draws energy from a 51.8 V lithium-ion battery pack. While exact output and performance figures aren’t available as of now, the company claims it to be comparable to 125cc petrol-powered motorcycles. This makes the bike accessible to both experienced as well as novice riders. Range claimed is up to 110 kms. Top speed is 105 kmph.
    Further, to maximise throttle response and smoothen feedback on the motorcycle, a Gates belt drive has been equipped with aluminum machined pulleys. The bike is still in its concept stage and it will be interesting to see how many of the premium components actually make it to the production-spec model. DAB has no plans to make a production version of this electric motorcycle available outside France. More

    Image – Freestyle RaheeVespa 75th edition model launch coincides with India’s celebrations of its 75th Independence Day

Most distinguishable feature of Vespa 75th model is its metallic yellow shade called Giallo 75th. This shade essentially represents all the various colour options that were popular in the 40s.
    To clear all doubts as to what the 75th model is all about, the ’75’ graphics is boldly displayed on the side panels. This is done in a matte metallic pyrite yellow shade, which creates a clearly visible, yet subtle contrast with the body colour. This ’75’ graphic can also be seen on the front fender.
    There’s liberal use of chrome accents, as can be seen on the headlamp cowl, front apron, mudguard, brake levers, rear view mirrors, side piping, wheel rims, and exhaust heat shield. Take a look at the first look walkaround of Vespa scooter 75th anniversary edition in the video below, credit to Freestyle Rahee.
    [embedded content]
    The seat comes in dark smoke grey colour, which looks elegant against the glossy metallic yellow body paint. Seat is wrapped in soft Nabuk, which is another treat for sensory perceptions of touch. Functionally, the soft fabric translates into more comfortable rides.
    At the rear, Vespa 75th model gets a chic-looking round bag. It comes in black shade that stands out against the elegant chrome rack. It can be used to carry stuff and doubles up as a trendy vehicle accessory. The bag comes with dedicated straps that help to secure it to the chrome rack. It is equipped with a water-proof liner.
    Vespa 75th model helmet
    For a more seamless 75th model look between the ride and the rider, Vespa is offering a specially designed helmet. It matches the core theme that has been used for 75th model. The helmet has a dark smoke grey colour and chrome piping all across. It has Vespa 75th model logo on the side and graphics in Giallo 75th colour.
    Other than the styling bits, Vespa 75th model will continue to use the same engine and other hardware. In India, Vespa 75th model will be sold as a limited edition. It is powered by the same 125cc single cylinder engine generating about 10 PS and 9.6 Nm. Vespa also has a 150cc engine, which delivers about 10.5 PS and 10.6 Nm. More

    New Tata Tigor Electric Sedan Spied Undisguised – Up To 350 Kms Range

    Tata Tigor Electric Sedan2021 Tigor Electric sedan will come in with a larger battery pack with Tata’s Ziptron architecture and range of up to 350 kms
    The coming days will see launch of the second electric vehicle from Tata Motors for the passenger car market. 2021 Tata Tigor EV bookings have officially opened. Ahead of launch on 31st August, the New Tata Tigor Electric Sedan has started arriving at dealerships, where it has now been spied undisguised. Hat tip to automotive enthusiast Aryan Km for sharing the exclusive spy shots on Rushlane Spylane.
    Tata Motors’ Ziptron technology
    2021 Tigor EV will get Tata Motors’ Ziptron technology, which is also seen in the case of the Nexon EV. Ziptron technology offers a permanent magnet AC motor paired with a lithium-ion battery. This battery pack is both dust and waterproof and complies with IP67 standards.
    The Ziptron based Tigor will receive a 300V permanent magnet electric motor which is an upgrade as compared to the 72 V AC induction motor seen on its earlier counterpart. Tata Motors confirms that this technology would relate to a longer driving range of over 300 kms or even close to 350 kms, but these figures have not been confirmed as on date.
    The leaked photo shows instrument cluster with over 200 kms range with 59% battery charge left. At this rate, for a full 100% charge, the instrument cluster could show close to 350 kms range for the new Tata Tigor electric car.
    Tata Tigor Electric Range
    The Tigor EV receive alloy wheels with blue accents, LED DRLs mounted on its front bumper and similar designs for headlamp and grille as seen on the Nexon EV. The bumper will sport a tri-arrow pattern as is common on Tata vehicles.
    Given the fact that it receives some feature updates and an extended range would mean that pricing could also be increased over its earlier counterpart. However, the Tata Tigor EV would also take advantage of revisions in the FAME II scheme which along with state government subsidies could put in a highly affordable price range.
    Tata Fast Charging Capabilities
    As is seen in the case of Nexon, 2021 Tata Tigor EV would also support fast charging capabilities for added convenience. To put this into perspective, with Ziptron technology, the Nexon EV can be charged from 0 to 80 percent in just 60 minutes and upto 7-8 hours via a home charger which is also what is expected on the Tigor EV.
    Tata Tigor Electric Sedan
    Tata XPres-T
    Earlier this year, Tata Motors had also introduced the XPres-T, a variant of Tigor EV for commercial / fleet segment. It is presented in two variants of XM+ and XT+ and priced at Rs 9.75 lakh and Rs 9.90 lakh respectively.
    Xpress-T uses a 72V motor with a 21.5 kWh battery pack which along with Ziptron technology, takes power and range up significantly. Earlier last month, the model was open for bookings and deliveries commenced with the first batch rolling being delivered to Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers Ltd., Kolkata.

    The new colors will go into production in December, Ford said via the “enthusiast community” Bronco Nation. They are Eruption Green (pictured), which Ford said is inspired by the 1973 Bronco’s Mallard Green shade, and Hot Pepper Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat. These will be available on all trim levels of the 2022 Bronco. Cyber Orange will be a new option on Base and Big Bend trim levels. Meanwhile, Antimatter Blue, Lightning Blue Metallic, and Rapid Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat are going away after the 2021 model year.

    The automaker will be showing these off during the Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit this weekend in its “Bronco Corral.” And if you want to get an up-close look at a Bronco, you may need to visit that corral, because the wildly popular new SUV has been plagued by production delays and problems with its roof.
