JEAN-ÉRIC VERGNE WINS HISTORIC FORMULA E RACE IN INDIA – 2023 GREENKO HYDERABAD E-PRIX REPORT

JEAN-ÉRIC VERGNE WINS HISTORIC FORMULA E RACE IN INDIA – 2023 GREENKO HYDERABAD E-PRIX REPORT IMMEDIATE RELEASE Jean-Éric Vergne wins the first-ever ABB FIA Formula E World Championship race in IndiaNick Cassidy finishes second for Envision Racing, António Félix da Costa promoted to third after investigation demotes Sébastien BuemiCalamity strikes Jaguar TCS Racing as a Sam Bird collision with Mitch Evans forces both drivers to retireSell-out crowd of more than 25,000 fans attend the 2023 Greenko Hyderabad E-PrixHYDERABAD, India. Sat. 11 Feb. 2023 – Jean-Éric Vergne (DS PENSKE) held on to win an extraordinary first-ever ABB FIA Formula E World Championship race in India in front of a sellout crowd and a host of dignitaries, Bollywood celebrities and sports stars.Vergne fought hard in the final third of the race to stay ahead of Envision Racing pair Nick Cassidy and Sébastien Buemi, though António Félix da Costa (TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team) ultimately took third after the Swiss was penalised post-race.It’s Vergne’s first trip to the top step of the Formula E podium since Rome in April 2021 (Season 7) and he achieved it in style. Vergne made his way to the front of the pack on lap 15 of 32 (plus one lap following a safety car), the double champion sweeping by Buemi at the hairpin after the Jaguar TCS Racing pair removed one another from the equation two laps prior.That incident saw Sam Bird make a lunge on the dirty side of the track on fourth-placed Sacha Fenestraz (Nissan Formula E Team). The Brit could not slow his I-TYPE 6 in time, colliding with teammate Mitch Evans – who was in third at the time – pitching the Kiwi’s car into a spin. Both Jaguars were ultimately forced into retirement with the unlucky Fenestraz also left tumbling down the order in a race where a podium double looked a possibility for Jaguar.Vergne led the way from that moment but had his mirrors full of Cassidy’s Envision Racing machine as the chequered flag drew closer. The New Zealander had managed to gather up an extra four percentage points of usable energy on Vergne come the closing stages of the race. However, Vergne is regarded as the consummate Formula E fighter and used every trick in the book to keep Cassidy at bay and cross the line first in what many will regard as one of his best wins and one that will live long in the memory on Formula E’s first visit to India in front of a sold-out crowd of over 25,000 people.Buemi followed home in third but an overpower infringement saw him demoted to 15th spot via 17-second penalty, equivalent to a drive-through. That promoted TAG Heuer Porsche’s António Félix da Costa onto the podium in his 100th race, the Season 6 champion having started the race in 13th. Teammate Pascal Wehrlein crossed the line fourth after picking his way through the order from 12th on the grid.Sérgio Sette Câmara avoided trouble and climbed through the pack from 15th on the starting grid to produce NIO 333 Racing’s best result since Berlin in Season 4.Meanwhile, Oliver Rowland made a move for the podium on Buemi – not aware of the Swiss’ impending penalty at the time – with just a lap to go. It didn’t work out and saw him shuffled to sixth. Nevertheless, Rowland collected his first points of the season for Mahindra Racing in the team’s home race. Norman Nato steered to seventh and the TAG Heuer Fastest Lap.Reigning champion Stoffel Vandoorne (DS PENSKE) finished in eighth for his best result of the season so far, while André Lotterer(Avalanche Andretti Formula E) and Edoardo Mortara (Maserati MSG Racing) rounded out the top 10.Jake Dennis (Avalanche Andretti Formula E) was the victim of an over-enthusiastic René Rast move on lap 26 at the hairpin – the NEOM McLaren Formula E Team driver outbraking himself and rear-ending Dennis’ car. That proved costly for the Brit, who was running comfortably in fourth and on for a strong points haul – particularly given the strong finish for the other man out front in the standings, Pascal Wehrlein.That left Wehrlein with an extended 18-point advantage on Dennis, with Vergne leaping to third in the Drivers’ standings. TAG Heuer Porsche has taken a 23-point lead over Avalanche Andretti in the Teams’ World Championship.In addition to the sellout capacity crowd of more than 25,000 fans, the historic race was attended by FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem and Sri K T Rama Rao, Minister for IT, Industries & Commerce, Government of Telangana. Also enjoying the electric racing action were Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, current Indian cricketers Shikhar Dhawan, Deepak Chahar and Yuzvendra Chahal along with his actor and choreographer wife, Dhanashree Verma. Jean-Éric Vergne, No. 25, DS PENSKE, said:“I’m very, very happy. It was a tough race – I had to defend quite hard at the end but we somehow managed to win it. It was a clean race, no mistakes. Very happy with the win today. It’s good for everyone’s heart in our team. For the first few races it’s good to boost it with a good race like that so couldn’t be happier.“I like new tracks – I think it’s cool. Especially this one – it’s a lot of fun. When there is a lot of little secrets to find on the track, I probably find them quickly enough.”Nick Cassidy, No. 37, Envision Racing, said:“I mean I had a really good car today – huge thanks to all my guys. I think at the races this year we’ve been pretty good. I really feel for Mitch and Jaguar today because they’re a great partner and they’ve started the season very strongly. I think the package we have is really strong and so I’m super sorry to see them go out the race like that.“(On reason behind having no duels this season but getting on the podium). Apart from we’re good in races? Honestly, we’re there in quali as well. Riyadh, Mexico and here, the difference between P1 and being in the duals and being P5 has been two-tenths. There’s not a big margin between 5th and starting 10th or potentially pole. That day will come.”António Felix da Costa, No. 13, TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team, said:“It felt like it meant to be. The race actually started really well and then I got squeezed by Dennis and I lost a lot of positions. But we stayed calm and worked our way back to the front slowly, and managed our energy. It hasn’t been an easy start for me. It was an emotional day for me looking back at the now 100 races or the 99 races before and where I am and things not working out like I want them to be. I can’t be satisfied with the way I am qualifying at the moment. Having said that, I have an amazing team behind me, always pushing me and giving me the tools. So I know it’s only a matter of time before we do a better job in qualifying and obviously the car can race really well. And yeah I’m really happy I came all the way to India and got a podium in my 100th race.“So much happened. I got angry, I was happy, I was calm, I was stressed. But again, I worked well with the team throughout the whole race and I guess that’s the experience of 100 races if I’m honest -starting there and coming all the way here.”Round 5 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship is the 2023 Cape Town E-Prix on Saturday, 25 February, the first time Formula E has raced in South Africa.Find out where to watch here: www.fiaformulae.com/en/ways-to-watch

Anteriormente se encontraba en Caterham y Renault, Abiteboul ahora gestionará el Campeonato del Mundo de Rallys (WRC) de la FIA y las actividades de Customer Racing de la empresa.
Hyundai Motorsport aseguró su mayor número de victorias en una sola temporada WRC en 2022 con el Hyundai i20 N Rally1 Hybrid.

Ciudad de México, 10 de febrero de 2023.- Hyundai Motorsport reforzo sus operaciones con el nombramiento de Cyril Abiteboul como director del equipo, con lo cual el francés toma la responsabilidad del Campeonato del Mundo de Rallys (WRC) de la FIA y de los programas Customer Racing de la empresa.

El hombre de 45 años se unirá al equipo con sede en Alzenau a tiempo completo, ya que la compañía busca continuar con el impresionante rendimiento de los últimos meses.

Hyundai Motorsport aseguró su mayor número de victorias en una sola temporada del WRC bajo el mandato del director adjunto del equipo, Julien Moncet, quien asumirá un nuevo cargo a partir de este año, relacionado con la tecnología futura de Hyundai Motorsport.

La llegada de Abiteboul a Hyundai Motorsport permitirá al equipo explorar nuevas áreas de mejora en su décima temporada en el WRC, en la que espera montar una lucha más sostenida por los títulos del campeonato. Aporta a la empresa 15 años de experiencia en deportes de motor como director de equipo así como funciones de dirección ejecutiva en Renault y Caterham.

“Me complace dar la bienvenida a Cyril Abiteboul a la familia Hyundai. La experiencia de Cyril en la Fórmula 1 nos ayudará a explorar nuevas oportunidades de crecimiento y mejoras a medida que buscamos montar una lucha más intensa por los títulos en el WRC y apoyar a nuestros equipos de Customer Racing. Deliberadamente le daremos tiempo para que se adapte, descubra el entorno y, con el tiempo, haga suyo el papel de director del equipo. Quisiera extender mi agradecimiento a Julien Moncet, que asumió con determinación la temporada pasada el puesto de suplente. Bajo su dirección, obtuvimos cinco victorias y construimos un fuerte impulso en la segunda parte del año. No tengo ninguna duda de que el personal técnico de Hyundai Motorsport, junto con Cyril, demostrarán un liderazgo más sólido y claro en el futuro al cooperar estrechamente con la I+D global de Hyundai Motor Company”, compartió Sean Kim, presidente de Hyundai Motorsports.

“Nuestra ambición siempre ha sido que el automovilismo actúe como un halo para toda la marca Hyundai. Para cumplir con nuestros objetivos ganadores, debemos estar constantemente en la cima de nuestro juego, reuniendo la combinación correcta de personas y experiencia. Estamos encantados de que alguien del calibre de Cyril Abiteboul se una a Hyundai Motorsport. Traerá una nueva perspectiva al negocio desde su tiempo en la Fórmula 1, que estamos seguros agregará valor en todas las áreas. Ya contamos con un talentoso equipo de personas en Alzenau, y estamos seguros de que este nombramiento solo amplificará el excelente trabajo que se está llevando a cabo”, dijo Till Wartenberg, vicepresidente y jefe de la subdivisión de N Brand Management Motorsport en Hyundai Motor Company.

“Estoy disfrutando la oportunidad de unirme a Hyundai Motorsport como director del equipo a partir de 2023. En el automovilismo, como en el resto de sus actividades, la marca Hyundai está construyendo su liderazgo con cautela. Estoy entusiasmado con la perspectiva de ser parte de él, administrando los programas WRC y Customer Racing, donde el equipo ya ha demostrado ser un fuerte competidor. Tengo muchas ganas de sumergirme en la comunidad de rally y descubrir más sobre este espectacular deporte. Hyundai me ha brindado todo su apoyo para que la transición a este puesto sea fluida. No puedo esperar para empezar”, expresó Cyril Abiteboul, director del equipo.

“El amor en los tiempos del delivery”: 4 tips para celebrar San Valentín con un envío sorpresa

Ciudad de México, México, a 9 de febrero de 2023.- San Valentín es una de las fechas más esperadas para celebrar el amor y la amistad. De hecho, se convierte en una de las festividades más importantes del año para pasar un buen momento con amigos o en pareja. Este 2023, la tecnología puede ser tu cómplice para sorprender a tu persona favorita y aquí te contamos cómo puedes disfrutar “el amor en los tiempos del delivery”.

Y es que una de las opciones predilectas para el Día del Amor y la Amistad es enviar un regalo sorpresa. En México, donde de acuerdo con datos del sector 8 de cada 10 mexicanos tienen una relación sentimental y dedicarán un presupuesto a un regalo, esta alternativa creció 50% durante la temporalidad en 2022, de acuerdo con datos de inDrive.

Por ello, los expertos de la plataforma global de movilidad y servicios urbanos, te comparten 4 tips para celebrar San Valetín con un envío sorpresa:

1. Elige tu sorpresa con anticipación

Durante temporalidades como el Día del Amor y la Amistad, las tiendas pueden saturarse un poco más de lo normal, por lo que lo mejor es elegir tu sorpresa con algo de anticipación, esto para evitar un mal momento en tu compra, y que regales lo que realmente quieres para esa persona especial. Como recomendación, días antes puedes buscar lo que tengas en mente, hacer un listado y un comparativo de costos, así llegado el momento estarás preparado.

Este consejo probablemente te sirva para anticiparse; asimismo, con inDrive Entregas puedes hacer envíos de pequeños y medianos paquetes como unos chocolates, flores, un peluche, entre otros.

2. Conoce los detalles que enamoran

Diversos estudios revelan que si bien regalar algo puede hacerte feliz, al tiempo que fortalece las relaciones, un regalo no tan bueno puede tener el efecto contrario; por ello, surge la pregunta: ¿cómo estar seguros de elegir un presente que le guste a la otra persona? Al respecto, especialistas como Elizabeth Dunn, profesora de psicología en la Universidad de Columbia y coautora del libro Dinero feliz: la ciencia del gasto feliz asegura que:

Una persona valora más un regalo al que pueda darle algún uso
Gastar más no siempre garantiza que un regalo sea bien recibido
Dar un buen regalo es pensar más allá del momento fugaz de entregarlo
Hay que olvidarse de lo único y exclusivo, lo popular y ordinario es bien recibido

3. Toma en cuenta la presentación de tu envío

Como popularmente se dice, “el amor entra por los ojos”. Por eso mismo, dedica un buen tiempo e imaginación a la presentación de tu entrega. Ya sea que tú mismo se la des al repartidor, o bien que éste la recoja de una tienda o lugar en específico. Toma en cuenta que muchas tiendas tienen opciones de envolturas especiales o tarjetas con algún mensaje.

Asimismo, en las recientes épocas se ha puesto de moda la modalidad click and collect, la cual es una forma de consumo que permite a las personas llevar a cabo su proceso de compra por medio de plataformas digitales y recoger sus artículos de manera física y presencial. Finalmente y si no deseas elegir esta opción, tú mismo puedes personalizar el regalo.

4. Ahora sí, progama tu delivery con amor

El siguiente paso es programar tu delivery con amor en inDrive Entregas. Y es que a diferencia de sus competidores, inDrive establece sus precios mediante el acuerdo previo entre usuarios y repartidores, sin algoritmos preestablecidos, ni intermediarios que determinan la tarifa final; además, puedes mandar paquetes de hasta 20 kg a cualquier hora del día.

¿Cómo hacerlo? Una vez en la app, sugiere un precio para el pedido y visualiza el tipo de transporte de los mensajeros, entre otros datos como su calificación y distancia a la que se encuentran del punto inicial. Por otro lado, los repartidores también podrán ver la información del pedido antes de aceptarlo. Al final, no olvides completar la solicitud y calificar al repartidor.

Los envíos por plataforma se convierten en tu mejor aliado para vivir una experiencia acorde al amor y la amistad mediante una entrega especial, sin quebrarnos la cabeza y al alcance de nuestro smartphone. Todo de manera sencilla, práctica y segura. Después de todo no olvides que vivimos en la era del amor en los tiempos del delivery.

FORMULA E MAKES HISTORY WITH FIRST RACE IN INDIA – HOW TO WATCH THE 2023 GREENKO HYDERABAD E-PRIX

FORMULA E MAKES HISTORY WITH FIRST RACE IN INDIA – HOW TO WATCH THE 2023 GREENKO HYDERABAD E-PRIX IMMEDIATE RELEASE ABB FIA Formula E World Championship will race in India for the first time this Saturday, 11 February2023 Greenko Hyderabad E-Prix takes place on a street circuit constructed in the heart of the cityDriver Pascal Wehrlein leads the Drivers’ championship after Porsche power dominated the first three races for the all-new GEN3 race car – the fastest, lightest, most powerful and efficient electric race car ever builtLucas di Grassi and Oliver Rowland set for the loudest cheers as Mahindra Racing competes on home soil for the first time in Formula EHYDERABAD, India. Thurs. 9 Feb. 2023: Formula E will make history this Saturday (11 February) as the ABB FIA Formula E Championship comes to India for the first time with the 2023 Greenko Hyderabad E-Prix, Round 4 of the 16-race season.The 2.835km street circuit, constructed around the shores of the Hussain Sagar lake by the NTR Gardens, will see the first top-tier FIA World Championship motorsport in the country for a decade and will become India’s first elite electric motor racing event.Pascal Wehrlein, TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team driver, moved to the top of the Drivers’ standings after winning both races in the double-header in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, thanks to an overtaking masterclass.But 2016/17 Formula E champion, Lucas di Grassi, and teammate Oliver Rowland are expected to attract the biggest cheers from passionate fans in the grandstand in the first home race for their team, Mahindra Racing. Di Grassi already has silverware to his name this season, sealed on his debut for Mahindra at the Mexico City season-opener, and no driver has been on the podium more than his nine in Asia.Lucas di Grassi, driver, Mahindra Racing, said:“It is important for us to have a good race in India – not only for the fans, but for the championship as well. It’s a new track for us, as it is for everyone up and down the grid. It needs to be a good weekend for us. We are going to try very hard and push to the limit to get the best out of the car. We can’t wait to see all the Indian fans out in force to support us and we want to give them a good show.”Oliver Rowland, driver, Mahindra Racing, said:“Heading into Hyderabad we know where we need to improve following a difficult weekend in Diriyah. Having the home fans behind us will add to the motivation we have racing on the team’s home ground. We know they will be fully behind us and supporting us, which will give us the extra push to perform well.”AS IT STANDSIf Mahindra Racing are to take to the top step of the podium in Hyderabad, they will have two Porsche-powered teams in TAG Heuer Porsche and Avalanche Andretti to overpower, based on current form. They have dominated Formula E so far in Season 9, with the Stuttgart manufacturer’s 99X Electric Gen3 finishing one-two in every race so far.Andretti’s Jake Dennis set the benchmark in Mexico City with the first win of the new GEN3 era, with Pascal Wehrlein following him home. The two fought hard in Rounds 2 and 3 in Diriyah, the last time out, but the German got the better of Dennis in both races to take the top prize and a dominant win-double in Saudi Arabia and the standings lead, while Porsche still narrowly trail customer Andretti in the Teams table by two points.Jake Hughes (NEOM McLaren Formula E Team) sealed a maiden Julius Baer Pole Position last time out. The rookie has scored in all three rounds so far this season and has the best qualifying record of anyone on the grid. He couldn’t quite convert to silverware in the race but experienced teammate René Rast needed no second invitation to seal the team’s first podium in Formula E in Round 3.Jaguar TCS Racing also attracted attention in Diriyah, with a resurgent Sam Bird returning to the podium after an uncharecteristically barren spell for the veteran of more than 100 Formula E races. No driver has won more than the Briton in Asia either, with Bird’s four the benchmark – two in Diriyah, one in Putrajaya, Malaysia and another in Hong Kong.Before the season, some expected overtaking to be tough in the new GEN3 race car, with braking zones shortened thanks to the significant regen boost of the new car’s double powertrain. That theory was blown away in Diriyah with some 36 moves outside of ATTACK MODE position changes completed over two races.Round 2 winner Wehrlein steered from ninth to the top step of the podium and Dennis followed with his own drive through the pack from 11th to second. On just three occasions has a driver won from further down the grid than Wehrlein managed and it was the first time consecutive Formula E races had been won from outside the top four since Zurich and New York City back in Season 4.WHEN TO WATCHFree Practice 1 for the 2023 Greenko Hyderabad E-Prix Round 4 gets underway at 16:30 IST (11:00 GMT) on Friday 10 February.Free Practice 2 follows at 08:10 IST on Saturday 11 February with qualifying from 10:40 IST.

FORMULA E DEVELOPS NEW SONIC IDENTITY FEATURING UNIQUE SOUND OF THE GEN3 RACE CAR

LONDON, UK. Wed. 8 Feb. 2023 – Formula E has reimagined its entire music and sound suite used across broadcast and digital channels, inspired by the power of electric acceleration and incorporating the sound of the fastest, lightest, most powerful and efficient electric race car ever built – the GEN3.

The new sonic identity is part of an overall refresh of the Formula E brand, unveiled at the 2023 Hankook Mexico City E-Prix in January, and aligned to the beginning of the GEN3 era in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.

The GEN3 is the third-generation Formula E race car and represents a huge leap in technology that pushes the boundaries of EV development. Incorporating the unique sound of the GEN3 into the new sonic identity was a key creative objective.

Tom Player of Lost Track Productions, working alongside Alex Bingham of sound design company Machine, was commissioned by Formula E to develop the full music and sound suite. They attended private GEN3 testing sessions by two teams in the championship – NIO333 Racing and Mahindra Racing – where they recorded audio of the race cars being pushed to the limit ahead of their debut in Mexico City.

The recordings were then developed into a range of sonic assets and embedded into the revitalised music and SFX package used across broadcast and digital content. The all-new soundtrack, including broadcast titles music, was composed by Tom Player and recorded live with a 55-piece orchestra at Abbey Road Studios.

The music accompanies a new broadcast intro titles film produced for Formula E by production partner Aurora Media Worldwide in collaboration with The Berry. The film features drivers in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship including defending champion Stoffel Vandoorne, Mitch Evans, António Félix Da Costa and Jake Dennis with CGI-footage of the new GEN3 car racing through some of this season’s host cities including Cape Town, São Paulo, Monaco and London.

Channel 4 viewers in the UK will experience the new title sequence for the first time on linear TV this Saturday with the live broadcast of the 2023 Greenko Hyderabad E-Prix from 9am. The titles can also be viewed at: https://youtu.be/S-SD_4-zzrM

Henry Chilcott, Chief Marketing Officer, Formula E, said:

“This has been a year of renewal for Formula E – new GEN3 race car, new teams, new look and new sound. The music score and soundscape sets the tone for the entire fan experience. Working with Lost Track Productions and Machine Sound, our ambition was to create a bold new anthem for our sport as part of our newly launched brand identity. The library of music composed by Tom Player is designed to work like a film score evoking different emotions to enhance the race weekend experience from opening broadcast titles right the way through to the live podium celebrations.”

The new soundtrack has been released as a 7-track album, titled Change. Accelerated (The Official Formula E Soundtrack) and is available on all major streaming platforms including Spotify and Apple Music.

“Las claves de una movilidad accesible: FUNDACIÓN ADO”

Ciudad de México a 7 de febrero de 2023.- De acuerdo al Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI) en México hay 7 millones 168 mil personas con alguna discapacidad, una cifra que representa al 5,69% de la población total en México; a pesar de esto, no fue hasta hace dos años, que se publicó la reforma constitucional del derecho a la movilidad en el Diario Oficial, la cual señala que “Toda persona tiene derecho a la movilidad en condiciones de seguridad vial, accesibilidad, eficiencia, sostenibilidad, calidad, inclusión e igualdad”

En este sentido, FUNDACIÓN ADO impulsa las claves para una movilidad accesible, para que ésta no quede limitada o condicionada sólo a algunos individuos.

1. La empatía: se considera el pilar para una verdadera inclusión en los medios de transporte y el espacio urbano, requiere del compromiso social y de todos los que compartimos un mismo territorio. La garantía de ser tratado y tratar a todos con equidad, garantizando que contemos con las condiciones ideales para la movilidad eficiente y de calidad. Esto requiere la capacitación de los trabajadores en los medios de transporte y los mismos conductores.

2. Una infraestructura vial adecuada: la cual debe ser impulsada por los gobiernos en todos sus niveles como un derecho ciudadano, para peatones, ciclistas, conductores y usuarios de transporte, sin importar sus condiciones individuales.

3. La evolución en la industria del transporte, misma que debe contar con estructuras correctas para que los pasajeros con discapacidad puedan abordar, viajar y bajar de las unidades sin correr peligro; de esta manera lograrán alcanzar los estándares de calidad y accesibilidad que hoy son claves para la industria.

Andrés Pérez-Peña Campos, gerente general de FUNDACIÓN ADO, aseguró que “Es importante que la sociedad mexicana avance hacia el reconocimiento universal al derecho que todas las personas tienen de movilizarse en el territorio, sin dejar de lado a nadie, esto no solo aplica para las personas con alguna discapacidad, sino también para las mujeres y las personas de la comunidad trans o LGBTIQ+, a quienes se les debe garantizar una movilidad segura y libre de violencia”.

Es por ello que, desde FUNDACIÓN ADO, se promueven talleres de educación vial a niños y adultos con la finalidad de que no se deje espacio para la discriminación en los medios de transporte y/o dentro de la infraestructura urbana; esto se refuerza con la iniciativa de terminales inclusivas operadas por MOBILITY ADO, que además cuentan con personal capacitado para brindar a todas las personas el acompañamiento adecuado con la finalidad de garantizar su derecho a la movilidad.

The race will air live in the UK on Channel 4 and Eurosport from 9am GMT.Beginning this season, the live international race feed distributed to more than 40 broadcasters and airing in more than 150 countries will be produced remotely from The Production Centre in London, a new state-of-the-art production facility developed by Gravity Media and located at the same address as the former BBC Television Centre in White City.The innovative production setup allows for the seamless remote integration of replay, audio and graphics into the live programme output, as well as a resilient disaster recovery system to ensure the broadcast feed remains uninterrupted in the event of technical difficulties.A new multi-year partnership with Gravity Media, the leading media and broadcast company, alongside Formula E’s existing editorial partner, Aurora Media Worldwide, means the live broadcast feed of Formula E’s international races will be produced at Gravity Media’s Production Centre in London instead of a temporary broadcast facility installed at each race location.Formula E is unique in world motorsport for racing on street circuits created on public roads in the heart of world cities to encourage the adoption of EV vehicles. Hyderabad will be the 27^th world city to host a Formula E race, the 104^th in the history of the series.This year, the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship will race in 11 world cities, more than any other season. Cape Town, São Paulo, Berlin, Monaco, Jakarta, Portland, Rome and London will follow Hyderabad while Mexico City and Diriyah in Saudi Arabia hosted the opening races of the season last month. Live broadcast coverage of an international sports event is typically an environmentally-intensive process with staff and equipment travelling by air. Centralising the majority of live editing and production at the 50,000 sq.ft facility in London significantly reduces the impact of staff travel and shipping of heavy production equipment.Formula E has developed an on-board camera system installed on each race car with a live team radio feed that is considered the best-in-class in the motorsport industry. More than 200 cameras cover each race from every angle giving viewers an immersive, informative, action-driven experience. Aarti Dabas, Chief Media Officer, Formula E, said:“At Formula E, as the world’s first net zero carbon sport since inception, we are constantly challenging ourselves to show how delivering world-class sports entertainment and maintaining industry-leading sustainable practices can co-exist without compromise. Our technology and broadcast teams have worked closely with Gravity Media and Aurora Media Worldwide to help us achieve this. The London-based facility and new approach to presenting Formula E coverage helps us stay true to our vision of accelerating human progress and encouraging the adoption of EV transportation while entertaining millions of viewers around the world.” Ed Tischler, EMEA Managing Director, Gravity Media, said:“We are thrilled to be working with Formula E as the first partner to use our brand new, next-generation Gravity Media Production Centre in White City. By taking the bold, innovative step of relocating TV production from a temporary facility in a remote world city to London, we are changing the game for how major global sports events are covered on television. Our new Production Centre located in the heart of White City in The Westworks building will house a growing team of creative and innovative media specialists and we hope to encourage more major sports to adopt a similar approach for TV coverage of their live events.”Eleven teams and 22 drivers compete in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. Two iconic names in world motorsport – McLaren and Maserati – line up on the Formula E grid for the first time this season.As well as the innovative approach to broadcast production for TV viewers around the world, this season also saw Formula E and the FIA introduce the fastest, lightest, most powerful, and efficient electric race car ever built – the GEN3.Capable of a 200mph (322kph) top speed, the GEN3 is 53kg lighter than the previous Gen2 model with a smaller chassis optimised for street racing. An additional front powertrain adds 250kW to the 350kW at the rear, more than doubling the regenerative capacity of the previous car to 600kW, with more than 40% of the energy used in-race regenerated from braking.The carbon footprint of the GEN3 has been measured from the design phase to inform all reduction measures taken to reduce environmental impact, while all unavoidable emissions are offset as part of Formula E’s net zero carbon commitment. The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship is the first and only sport in the world to be certified net zero carbon since inception.Linen and recycled carbon fibre are being used in GEN3 bodywork construction for the first time in a formula car, featuring recycled carbon fibre from retired Gen2 cars and reducing the overall amount of virgin carbon fibre used. This reduces the carbon footprint of the production of the GEN3 bodywork more than 10%. All waste carbon fibre will be reused for new applications through adoption of an innovative process from the aviation industry.

El Oracle Red Bull Racing renueva energía para 2023 con lanzamiento en Estados Unidos

Nueva York, Estados Unidos, 3 de febrero del 2023.- El Oracle Red Bull Racing lanzó hoy la campaña 2023 del equipo en la ciudad de Nueva York, a través de un programa en vivo transmitido a más de 30 países de todo el mundo y transmitido por miles de fanáticos en todo el mundo.

El momento consolida una primicia en la Fórmula Uno con Oracle Red Bull Racing convirtiéndose en el primer equipo de F1 en lanzar su temporada en los EE. UU.

Después de ganar los campeonatos mundiales de pilotos y constructores en 2022, el equipo produjo una experiencia que puso a los fanáticos en el centro del lanzamiento, en cualquier parte del mundo en la que se encontraran.

A través de The Paddock, los fanáticos tuvieron la oportunidad exclusiva de asistir en persona en Estados Unidos o transmitir el evento en sus canales, donde el director y director ejecutivo del equipo, Christian Horner, y los pilotos Max Verstappen, Sergio “Checo” Pérez y Daniel Ricciardo presentaron una serie de momentos únicos.

El lanzamiento se centró en el RB19 y los fanáticos vieron por primera vez el automóvil 2023. Llevando el auto nuevo un paso más allá, se reveló que los fanáticos tendrán la oportunidad de diseñar tres libreas personalizadas este año, para cada carrera en los EE. UU.

Impulsada por la tecnología del socio principal del equipo, Oracle, la campaña “Make Your Mark” significará que las ilustraciones de los fanáticos decoran el RB19 cuando el automóvil se presenta en Miami, Austin y Las Vegas.

El panel de jueces para la librea ganadora estará encabezado por Christian e incluirá representantes de Oracle, socio principal del equipo, Bybit y Socio tecnológico, Mobil 1. El artista de renombre mundial, el Sr. Doodle, recibió un auto de exhibición RB14 como lienzo para dar inicio a la competencia, creando una obra de arte exclusiva.

“The Doodle Bull”, que también está firmado por Max y Checo, será subastado por The Auction Collective, en colaboración con Christie’s, a través de una subasta en línea cronometrada. Una parte de las ganancias se destinará al socio benéfico oficial del equipo, Wings for Life.

La temporada 2023 ve una nueva imagen para Oracle Red Bull Racing cuando el equipo presentó su Castore Teamwear para 2023: los fanáticos tuvieron la oportunidad exclusiva de participar en una sesión de fotos de Castore con Max y Checo recientemente, la pieza central del lanzamiento del kit.

Los aficionados también pudieron echar un vistazo a la nueva gama de gorras y calzado del equipo, desarrollada por los pioneros New Era & APL con sede en EE. UU.

Llevando el evento a una conclusión culminante, el equipo anunció que, a partir de 2026, Red Bull Powertrains se asociará con la icónica marca estadounidense de automovilismo Ford. Red Bull Powertrains y Ford trabajarán juntos en el desarrollo de la unidad de potencia híbrida de próxima generación que suministrará motores tanto a Oracle Red Bull Racing como a Scuderia AlphaTauri a partir de 2026.

Christian Horner, director del equipo:

“En Oracle Red Bull Racing siempre nos esforzamos por hacer las cosas primero y de manera diferente. Esta es la primera vez que lanzamos nuestra temporada fuera del Reino Unido y la primera vez que un equipo de F1 la lanza en los EE. UU. No se puede ignorar el crecimiento de nuestro deporte en Estados Unidos, hay más de 50 millones de fanáticos de la F1 en los EE. UU., de los cuales el 72% nos sigue, y la forma en que los fanáticos han acogido a nuestro equipo aquí ha sido muy especial de ver. Oracle Red Bull Racing estará en Estados Unidos más que nunca en 2023, no solo compitiendo, sino también organizando Red Bull Showruns y el primer viaje por carretera liderado por un equipo de F1 en Estados Unidos, el Grand Tauro de EU, a finales de este año. También queríamos celebrar y dar la bienvenida a Ford en su país de origen, ya que se convertirán en el nuevo socio de Red Bull Powertrains a partir de 2026. Esta será una verdadera asociación técnica estratégica; Ford ayudará con la batería y la tecnología híbrida y mucho más para mantener al equipo por delante de la competencia. Ya estoy muy entusiasmado con las posibilidades que esta asociación nos ofrecerá a ambos a nivel mundial”.

Checo Pérez

“Creo que ha crecido tanto el apoyo para nuestro equipo en EU que nos estamos convirtiendo en equipo favorito de los EU. El reto es seguir progresando y ser mejores de lo que fuimos el año pasado y eso será muy difícil, pero estamos en el camino, Vamos a buscar tener una temporada increíble y mejorar lo que hicimos el pasado año. Nos espera un año muy largo y sabemos que hay que estar al 100 por ciento en el equipo para lograr en lo personal un gran campeonato”.
