- ROME E-PRIX PREVIEW: ALL-ELECTRIC RACING RETURNS TO THE ETERNAL CITY FOR DOUBLE THE ACTION ON APRIL
ROME E-PRIX PREVIEW: ALL-ELECTRIC RACING RETURNS TO THE ETERNAL CITY FOR DOUBLE THE ACTION ON APRIL 10 AND 11 - ABB FIA Formula E World Championship returns to Italian capital - Updated track layout second-longest in Formula E history with high-speed runs and tight, complex sections and more opportunities for overtaking - Find out where to watch the Rome E-Prix this weekend Rome, Italy (April 8, 2021) - All-electric racing returns to Rome on April 10 and 11 for Rounds 3 and 4 of the 2020/21 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, with a new circuit layout for the double-header race weekend and FIA President Jean Todt in attendance. Driver round-up Nyck de Vries (Mercedes-EQ) heads to Italy on top of the drivers’ standings, having completed a Formula E first in the Diriyah opener, topping the timesheets in Free Practice, Group Qualifying, Julius Baer Pole Position, and claiming his maiden race win and the TAG Heuer Fastest Lap for good measure. Jaguar Racing lead the way in the teams’ standings as new signing Sam Bird sealed a dream victory in Round 2 in Diriyah. That result saw the Brit extend his unique streak of winning an E-Prix in every Formula E season to-date. It also drew him level with Lucas di Grassi (Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler) in second on the all-time winners’ table with 10 victories. Bird is also a winner in the Italian capital, having won the inaugural race in 2018, and he’ll be among the favourites this time around. Last time out in Rome, it was Mitch Evans (Jaguar Racing) and André Lotterer (TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team) who fought tooth-and-nail for the full 45 minutes. In the end, it was the Kiwi who held his nerve, forcing Lotterer to settle for second with Stoffel Vandoorne (Mercedes-EQ) rounding-out the podium positions. Rome E-Prix The 19-turn 3.385km Circuito Cittadino dell'EUR has undergone a number of changes in close collaboration with local authorities for Season 7, and sees the track become the second longest in Formula E history behind Beijing. The updates ensure the circuit’s character is retained, while strengthening Formula E’s legacy in the area by making more space for spectators at future events, bringing local businesses into the fold and carrying out important restoration work. The Palazzo dei Congressi, Piazzale Marconi remain landmarks and, starting from this year, the circuit will wind its way around the iconic Palazzo della Civilta Italiana, also known as the "Square Coliseum". It's a mix of high-speed runs and tight, complex sections and undulations with plenty of opportunities for overtaking at the hairpin and some 90-degree bends - peak Formula E and a big favourite of the drivers. “The new layout is fantastic: it has longer and faster straights and offers more opportunities for overtaking,” said 2017 Formula E Champion, Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler’s Lucas di Grassi. “I'm sure the fans will love it; I can't wait to race there.” Sustainability Showing the natural alignment of Formula E’s reason and racing, in Rome the series will continue its series of Positively Charged grid moments, on this occasion, shining the spotlight on the new multi-year partnership with UNICEF’s Safe and Healthy Environment Fund. Since Formula E first visited the city, e-mobility options for Rome’s residents have improved significantly. There are 60 electric minibuses operating across the city and Italy’s ‘Good Mobility’ policy encourages the use of electric bikes and has legalised electric scooters. Rome’s mayor, Virginia Raggi, announced that the city would phase out diesel vehicles by 2024. Rome’s impressive mobility response to COVID-19 has been recognised at European level, following its support of walking and cycling, enabling safe public transport, and its plan for 150km of transitory cycling routes. In total, €3.2 million has been set aside for Rome’s plan, with 20km of these lanes currently in place. Where to watch Formula E’s media partners will be broadcasting comprehensive coverage to millions of households through a combination of network and digital coverage.

- 何柱霆奪得全港網上精英跳繩比賽3金1銀將代表香港參加首次以網上形式舉行的世界跳繩錦標賽
Red Bull運動員、兩屆世界賽冠軍何柱霆在剛結束的全港網上精英跳繩比賽2021暨香港代表隊選拔賽贏得男子30秒速度跳、3分鐘耐力跳冠軍、個人花式賽亞軍,以及個人總成績冠軍,並獲得7月世界跳繩錦標賽代表資格。 由於疫情問題,全港精英跳繩比賽改為網上形式進行,參加運動員需自行拍攝比賽影片,並於截止日期前遞交。何柱霆指出這次比賽與以往分別很大,運動員大約有個多月時間拍攝比賽影片,並可以重拍直至拍出成績、表現最好的片段。他說:「這樣的形式會撇除了運動員的臨場發揮以及心理壓力的影響,因為有重拍的機會。所以,對自己來說是全新的體驗,希望對於7月的世界賽會有幫助。」對於比賽的表現,何柱霆表示滿意,尤其是兩個速度項目,其中30秒速度跳已達至個人最佳成績,至於3分鐘耐力跳成績仍有提升空間,因為當中有兩次失手。 花式賽方面,他指出自己沒有加入新的難度動作,雖然沒有失誤,但有些動作則有待改善。以往的花式賽他比較專注在難度上,但這次由於是拍攝影片,所以在比賽中他加入較多與觀眾互動的元素,同時亦加強了動作與音樂的配合性。 由國際跳繩聯合會(International Jump Rope Union, IJRU)舉辦的世界跳繩錦標賽原定去年舉行,由於疫情問題延至今年舉行,同時比賽形式亦會改為網上進行,與這次全港精英賽一樣。何柱霆目前將會準備5月全港團體賽精英賽爭取世界賽團體賽的資格。 全港網上精英跳繩比賽2021何柱霆個人花式賽影片 https://youtu.be/o1Q1zVXaCjc 何柱霆簡介 畢業於香港專業教育學院(運動教練學高級文憑)。因為羽毛球的體能訓練而初次接觸跳繩,在小學二年級時,被老師挑選成為跳繩班成員。隨著多年練習,在小學五年級奪得香港跳繩分齡賽十一歲或以下男子組個人總冠軍。何柱霆12歲時第一次代表中國香港跳繩總會(繩總)參加亞洲跳繩比賽,並於該次比賽中奪得男子初級組團體總成績冠軍。每位運動員均有成功與失敗的時候。2009年,出戰亞洲跳繩錦標賽個人賽時,因為過份緊張,柱霆只能做出平常練習的七成水準,使排名不在預期,當天更一度哭了超過4個小時。但當年慘敗的經歷使柱霆成長,明白比賽中失敗了並不可怕,最重要是站起來,重新振作起來才有機會再次超越自己。柱霆從失敗中學習,令他成為兩屆的世界冠軍。 Information and photo source : N Square / Red Bull HK

In this sublime princely setting, the Masters of Chantilly will undoubtedly be the prominent event of the "post-pandemic season" with a unique dimension, as Chantilly is not only a world Capital of the Horse, but also a true "City of Art and History" (an official label awarded in 2007). A combination of horse and art, which will certainly be the trademark of this Masters. "What Aachen is to Germany, Chantilly will be to France", promises Christophe Ameeuw. A new appointment in the international sporting calendar with Rolex, an independent Swiss watch manufacturer, a loyal partner of equestrian sports for over 60 years, becoming official sponsor, official timepiece and title sponsor of the Grand Prix. Masters de Chantilly 2021 In July, spectators, masked or not, will be able to find their way back to top sporting events. Regular spectators will discover a new environment, set under the Masters’ colours, with new spaces, and a new village offering entertainment, lifestyle, art, culture and other equestrian and non-equestrian stores. See you from July 8 to 11, 2021 for The Masters of Chantilly! Masters de Chantilly 2021 THE OFFICIAL POSTER OF THE MASTERS OF CHANTILLY, A WORK BY THE AMERICAN ARTIST AARON LOWELL DENTON Each year, EEM calls upon an internationally renowned artist to create the visuals for its events. For this premiere of the Masters of Chantilly, Christophe Ameeuw and Artistic Director Bruno Danto, asked the American artist Aaron Lowell Denton to create the collector's poster which is revealed here. Based near Bloomington, Indiana, Denton is an eclectic artist capable of creating logos for a South Korean record store as well as various illustrations for the prestigious New York Times and The Atlantic publications. He has created many posters and many album covers, in a slightly retro and even surrealist style. The Masters of Chantilly is his first foray into the equestrian theme.

2021年3月23日 Pfaff Motorsports車隊勝出GT Daytona組別,為保時捷贏得第100次賽百靈比賽冠軍 寶馬Team RLL 車隊的兩部MOTUL寶馬M8 GTE戰車取得頒獎台上兩個席位 由Motul所支持的2支車隊於剛過去的賽百靈12小時耐力賽(12 Hours of Sebring),在競爭激烈的GT Daytona及GT Le Mans組別賽事中取得成功。Pfaff Motorsports車隊雖只有一部9號保時捷911 GT3 R戰車出賽,但仍漂亮克服排位賽上的失利,首度在GTD組別中贏得冠軍,更為保時捷取得歷來第100場的賽百靈比賽勝利。另一邊的寶馬Team RLL車隊,其所屬的兩部24號和25號MOTUL寶馬M8 GTE戰車,亦在過程極為緊湊的GTLM組別比賽中取得兩個頒獎台席位,為Motul帶來一個值得紀念的週末。 在GT Daytona組別中,Pfaff Motorsports車隊於賽前被看好有力爭標,可是他們在排位賽中遇到制動系統問題,令該部9號保時捷911 GT3 R戰車只能排在GTD組別的最後一名。代表該隊出賽的三名車手Laurens Vanthoor,Lars Kern和Zach Robichon沉著應戰,比賽開始後從最後的位置不斷的向前進攻。比賽進行至第11小時,他們終於得到回報,藉著領先對手的一次爆胎,一舉躍進領前位置。當距離賽事只餘下20分鐘時,賽事掀起高潮,安全車更一度帶領著比賽令所有賽車集合在一起,最後Vanthoor成功守著領先位置直衝終點取得GT Daytona組別勝利,同時為保時捷在賽百靈拿下第100次冠軍。 寶馬Team RLL車隊的兩部戰車在GTLM組別內有個不錯的開始,兩部戰車分別從第3和第4位出發,兩位負責起跑的車手Connor De Phillippi和Jesse Krohn很快便成功搶前,分別進佔第2和第3位。這場長達12小時的比賽曾出現各種不同狀況,數次的大型意外令賽會需要出示全場黃旗。兩部MOTUL寶馬M8 GTE戰車一直在最前列嘗試挑戰領先的位置,可以過程卻並不順利。到比賽的最後兩小時,24號的MOTUL寶馬戰車在維修站加油時發生小火,幸好車隊能迅速處理令戰車保持在第4位回到比賽。另一部的25戰MOTUL寶馬戰車曾有一段時間領先著比賽,與對手在一輪激烈的戰鬥後下跌至第2位。 賽事最後的8分鐘高潮迭起。25號的MOTUL寶馬戰車在Connor De Phillippi的駕駛下不斷對領先的賽車發動攻勢,雙方更曾發生輕微碰撞,賽會就此作出通過維修站一次的判罰,但這不影響25號戰車在GTLM組別內的名次,他們最終以第2名衝過終點得到亞軍。另一部的24號MOTUL寶馬戰車克服早前發生小火的不利,展示出飛快的速度不斷從後追趕,在比賽的最後一圈成功一舉超前,搶得頒獎台的最後一席,為寶馬Team RLL車隊達成包辦亞軍及季軍的佳績。 Motul非常榮幸能成為寶馬Team RLL和Pfaff Motorsports兩支車隊的潤滑油合作伙伴,賽百靈12小時耐力賽的賽果對Motul的產品是一次強而有力的驗證,在寶馬和保時捷賽車上通過長時間而全面的測試並取得成功。 IMSA 跑車錦標賽下一站將會在5月14-16日移師至Mid-Ohio賽道上舉行。寶馬Team RLL車隊的24號和25號戰車現時在GT Le Mans車隊積分榜上排在第3和第5位,Pfaff Motorsport車隊的9號保時捷戰車則在GT Daytona組別上排在第11位。 排位賽成績 GT Daytona組別 | Pfaff Motorsports車隊 #9 保時捷911 GT3 R戰車 | P13 – 3:07.086(制動系統問題) 車手:Zacharie Robichon – Laurens Vanthoor – Lars Kern GT Le Mans組別 | 寶馬Team RLL車隊 #24 MOTUL寶馬M8 GTE戰車 | P4 – 1:55.281 車手:John Edwards – Augusto Farfus – Jesse Krohn #25 MOTUL寶馬M8 GTE戰車 | P3 – 1:55.062 車手:Connor De Philippi – Philipp Eng – Bruno Spengler 比賽結果 GT Daytona組別 | Pfaff Motorsports車隊 #9 保時捷911 GT3 R戰車 | P1(共完成320圈,最快圈速:2:00.835) 車手:Zacharie Robichon – Laurens Vanthoor – Lars Kern GT Le Mans組別 | 寶馬Team RLL車隊 #24 MOTUL寶馬M8 GTE戰車 | P3(共完成333圈,最快圈速:1:55.727) 車手:John Edwards – Augusto Farfus – Jesse Krohn #25 MOTUL寶馬M8 GTE戰車 | P2(共完成333圈,最快圈速:1:55.617) 車手:Connor De Philippi – Philipp Eng – Bruno Spengler 資料及相片來源 : CBR Media / Motul Asia Pacific
