  • FORMULA E AND FIA RELEASE FIRST DIGITAL IMAGES OF GEN2 CAR First look at the fully-electric next gen

    LONDON, UK (January 30, 2018) - Formula E and the FIA have released the first digital images of the next generation car for season five showcasing the futuristic new-look of the electric street racing series, with the covers coming off the physical model at the Geneva Motor Show on March 6. Making its competitive debut for the 2018/19 ABB FIA Formula E Championship, the fully-electric Gen2 car will be used for the next three seasons. The car visibly represents a new era for Formula E and further distinguishes the series from other categories in motorsport. This is the first car ever to be created by the governing body for motorsport, with the FIA bringing together the world’s leading designers and engineers to work on the concept. The common package of specification parts will be homologated and built by the competing manufacturers to house their own bespoke powertrain. The new car demonstrates a step-up in performance from the current iteration with almost double the energy storage capacity and double the range, meaning the teams and drivers will complete a full race distance at higher speeds without making a mid-race car swap. The Gen2 car is clear proof of the advancements in battery and electric motor technology achieved in the space of only four years. Click here to download a selection of hi-res images and watch the Gen2 car in action. The physical model of the Gen2 car together with full technical specifications will be revealed on the FIA stand at the Geneva Motor Show on March 6. FIA President Jean Todt, said: “These are very exciting times for Formula E. Today we show for the first time the design of the next generation car, and I’m sure that everyone will be very excited by how futuristic and advanced it is. I’m very proud that the FIA has been at the forefront of this car’s development, it’s something new for the Federation, and the project has been a huge success. I can’t wait to take the covers off the real car when it will be seen for the first time in Geneva on March 6.” Alejandro Agag, Founder & CEO of Formula E, said: “This car represents the future of racing. When we started Formula E, our goal was to break the mould and challenge the status quo - bringing a revolution to motorsport. This next generation car represents that revolution. The cars will be faster and will have almost double the amount of energy storage capacity and double the range, demonstrating the continuous evolution of battery technology. Together with the FIA, we’ve achieved a great milestone with the introduction of this car and I can’t wait to see it on track.” To follow the latest news and information, visit - www.FIAFormulaE.com Information and photos source : FORMULA E / FIA

  • Cell C Sharks強陣出戰「Natixis 欖球盃 2018」

    南非勁旅Cell C Sharks將於2月3日(星前六)在香港仔運動場與法職球隊Racing 92角逐「Natixis 欖球盃」。 Cell C Sharks是首支亮相香江的南非十五人欖球隊,Cell C Sharks將利用「Natixis 欖球盃2018」備戰2月17日開鑼的「超級欖球聯賽2018」(Super Rugby)。 Cell C Sharks於去年曾打入「超級欖球聯賽」八強,實力非同凡響。他們的皇牌球員保治(Curwin Bosch)及今仗隊長保法(Ruan Botha)也會隨隊來港獻技。 保治於2017年8月首次為南非國家隊披甲上陣,而保法及杜度(Thomas Du Toit)也希望今年能夠入選國家隊,因此他們會藉「Natixis 欖球盃」提升比賽狀態。 另外年僅21歲的翼鋒尼高斯(S’busiso Nkosi)也在大軍名單當中,他驚人的速度將成為球隊最大武器。他在去年的「超級欖球聯賽」及「Currie 盃」(Currie Cup)鋒芒畢露,令他在「欖球錦標賽2017」(2017 Rugby Championship)已能夠入選國家隊,不過他仍未獲得國家隊喼帽,但相信在不久將來會取得喼帽。 數名經驗戰將因傷未能到訪,只有經驗較豐富的丹尼爾(Keegan Daniel)隨隊來港。 前鋒線領軍人物之一利維斯(Stephan Lewies)將繼續在前方衝鋒陷陣,25歲的他已曾代表南非國家隊,他在場上非常積極,相信今仗將帶領前線對抗Racing 92。 另外三名國家隊成員盧漢尼奧岩(Lukhanyo Am)、禾獲(Lwazi Mvovo)及華拉比利(Chiliboy Ralepelle)皆會在本週亮相香港仔運動場。 現年31歲的華拉比利已有23頂國家隊喼帽,他在2016年加盟Cell C Sharks前曾效力Bulls及Toulouse。 Cell C Sharks大軍名單: 禾特(Jeremy Ward)、杜度(Thomas Du Toit)、偉治(Cameron Wright)、華美倫(Jacques Vermeulen)、馬祖拿(Mzamo Majola)、保羅(Tyler Paul)、禾獲(Lwazi Mvovo)、保治(Curwin Bosch)、馬比比(Makazola Mapimpi)、盧漢尼奧岩(Lukhanyo Am)、華拉比利(Chiliboy Ralepelle)、譚保(Lubabalo Mtembu)、利維斯(Stephan Lewies)、杜派斯(Rob du Preez)、雲域克(Kobus van Wyk)、保法(Ruan Botha) (隊長)、美亞(John-Hubert Meyer)、丹尼爾(Keegan Daniel)、阿保爾(Garth April)、安祖斯(Hyron Andrews)、雲華特(Philip van der Walt)、史高文(Juan Schoeman)、尼高斯(S’busiso Nkosi)、威廉斯(Grant Williams)、文拿斯(Franco Marais)、魯維(Marius Louw) 關於Natixis 欖球盃 「透過『香港國際七人欖球賽』可知道欖球在這兒的受歡迎程度,我們期待有良好的發揮以報答屆時入場的球迷。」 「Natixis 欖球盃」今次將踏入第四屆,Racing 92在2013年與另一支法職球隊Stade Toulousain對戰,2015年則和Natixis 香港足球會會長選手隊比賽,而2016年Racing 92則反勝新西蘭超級欖球聯賽盟主高地人隊(The Highlanders)高舉獎盃。 「Natixis 欖球盃2018」亦希望向公眾宣揚欖球運動,因此今年特意特意安排小型欖球教室,讓小朋友於球賽當日向兩隊的後備球員「偷師」,屆時並會有「啤酒樂園」及樂隊現場演奏,延續歡樂氣氛。 Team One Groupe行政總裁Philippe Spanghero說:「『Natixis 欖球盃』是由Louis Vincent Gave發起的,此比賽讓Racing 92可以衝出國際並開拓亞洲市場。」「香港球迷可以近距離觀看世界級賽事之餘,也為全城矚目的『香港國際七人欖球賽』熱身。」 他補充說:「我特別感謝香港欖球總會及法國外貿銀行的支持,亦感謝Racing 92和Cell C Sharks接受英雄帖讓球迷可以大飽眼福。」 資料及相片來源 : Elite Step Asia / 「Natixis 欖球盃2018」

  • MAPFRE, the winner of the Around the Hong Kong Island race

    MAPFRE wins the Around Hong Kong Island Race (28 January) It was a challenging day for the Volvo Ocean Race teams as they tackled the Around Hong Kong Island Race on Sunday with a generously sized spectator fleet on hand to cheer them on. Light and variable wind shortly after the start allowed the leading boats to break away as they found new wind pressure first. But it didn’t mean opportunities for passing later in the afternoon were completely closed off. MAPFRE had the best start in the fleet and eked out ahead in light winds. Three teams broke the line early and needed to restart, with Team Brunel, Turn the Tide on Plastic and Sun Hung Kai/Scallywag all turning back. It put them at an immediate disadvantage, but while Brunel had the best re-start, it was Turn the Tide on Plastic who moved up the fleet to challenge the leading pack over the next 20 minutes. However as the race progressed, MAPFRE and Dongfeng Race Team found the new favourable wind first and built a commanding lead over the others. "With these inshore races you never know, because just as you can have the advantage one moment, the next you can lose it," said MAPFRE navigator Juan Vila. "Fortunately today it was more of a race in which the one in front always seemed to have better pressure. The transitions have also gone a little better for us and of course, the start and the moments afterward were key." "It was very tricky conditions today but we had a lot of good advice from local sailors and it helped us a lot," said Dongfeng Race Team skipper Charles Caudrelier. "So I think we prepared it very well and the result is there, so that’s good." Behind the leading pair, it was team AkzoNobel and Turn the Tide on Plastic battling for third place early. But a the teams rounded the southern shore of the island, Sun Hung Kai/Scallywag and Team Brunel slipped through in the middle of the channel with better wind. Scallywag went from last across the starting line to a third place finish with Team Brunel just a couple hundred metres back. That left AkzoNobel, who won Saturday’s HGC In-Port Race Hong Kong to take fifth place in front of Turn the Tide on Plastic, who had a frustrating weekend trailing the fleet in both races. When MAPFRE crossed the finish line, they were flying a protest flag but later informed the Race Committee they would not be following through with a protest, making the results on the water final. Sunday’s results mean Dongfeng Race Team has the best overall score on the weekend after two second place finishes. The team will claim a full 7 points from the Hong Kong series which pulls it into a tie on the overall leaderboard with MAPFRE, both sitting on 25 points. Dongfeng Race Team is ranked first based on winning the most recent series in Hong Kong. "It is a very good result for us," Caudrelier continued. "We are in the same position as the MAPFRE crew which is full of inshore specialists, so I think we can be proud of the team’s performance." Vestas 11th Hour Racing did not race this weekend and has announced it will not participate in Leg 5 to Guangzhou next week as the team coordinates repairs to its boat.

  • Mosinet Geremew和Roza Dereje贏得渣打銀行杜拜馬拉松

    阿聯酋杜拜2018年1月29日電 /美通社/ -- 埃塞俄比亞的Mosinet Geremew在馬拉松歷史上最扣人心弦的一場決賽中,以2小時04分鐘0秒的成績,贏得了渣打銀行杜拜馬拉松(Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon)男子組冠軍。 這位27歲的埃塞俄比亞跑手在最後幾天才報名參加賽事,在他沖過終點線之後的八秒內4位選手緊跟其後完成了比賽。首次參賽的Leul Gebresilase以2秒之差(2小時04分鐘02秒)排名第二,而衛冕冠軍Tamirat Tola位列第三,他的成績是2小時04分鐘06秒。 總共有7位選手在2小時05分鐘00秒內完成了比賽,這一成績在世界馬拉松歷史上獨一無二,在這7位選手中,有6個人的成績不慢於2小時04分鐘15秒。 第19屆渣打銀行杜拜馬拉松獲得了杜拜王儲阿勒馬克圖姆(Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum)殿下的贊助,並由杜拜體育委員會(Dubai Sports Council)主辦,讓體育記錄撰稿人再次更新了記錄簿。 在近乎完美的天氣條件下,渣打銀行杜拜馬拉松的第一方陣以非常連貫一致的步伐奔跑。半馬賽程在61分鐘36秒結束,而當選手們跑過30公里時只使用了1小時27分鐘25秒,極有可能打破2小時02分鐘57秒的世界紀錄。但在最後的配速員退出之後,選手們調整了步伐,開始關注贏得200,000美元的頭獎。 當第一方陣進入終點直道時,還有5位選手在互相較勁,最終由在最後關頭才參加杜拜馬拉松的Mosinet Geremew獨佔鰲頭。 女子馬拉松也打破了紀錄,Roza Dereje以2小時19分鐘17秒的成績打破了女子紀錄,並由此成為馬拉松歷史上速度第七快的女選手。 這位埃塞俄比亞女選手在比賽最後一英里從由四個人組成的第一方陣中突圍,在這場比賽中,首次有4位女選手取得了2小時20分鐘內的成績。埃塞俄比亞的Feyse Tadese以2小時19分鐘30秒的成績位列第二,其次是Yebrgual Melese(時間為2小時19分鐘36秒)和衛冕冠軍Worknesh Degefa(時間是2小時19分鐘53秒)。 在從阿聯酋體育總局主席魯邁蒂(Mohammed Khalfan Al Rumaithy)少將閣下和渣打銀行阿聯酋分行行政總裁Julian Wynter手上接過獎盃後,格勒門表示:「我很高興能夠在前半程以配速員的速度奔跑。我在什麼時候想過我能夠贏得比賽呢?當我還有最後一公里要跑的時候,我才考慮贏得比賽的問題。」 杜拜馬拉松網址:http://www.dubaimarathon.org 消息及相片來源 Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon

  • Team AkzoNobel took an excellent win at the HGC In-Port Race Hong Kong, while Dongfeng Race Team gra

    Team AkzoNobel took the win in the HGC In-Port Race Hong Kong on a challenging afternoon on the waters of Kowloon Bay. The wind during race time was a 6 to 10 knot Easterly, but it was very shifty and puffy, and with a tidal current running on the race course, it was a difficult day for the tacticians. “We had a fantastic race, pretty exciting. We planned to sail our own race today. It was tricky enough with the tide and the windshifts,” said team AkzoNobel skipper Simeon Tienpont. “The team sailed an unbelievable race and the guys in the back of the boat played the tactics very well… It’s good when things come together. It’s a nice reward for all the effort the team has put in.” Dongfeng Race Team finished in second place, with Team Brunel third. The two swapped places on the third lap of the course after a solid upwind leg by Brunel gave them the lead, but the Dongfeng crew fought back on the run to secure second place. A fourth place finish on Saturday by the series leader MAPFRE means Dongfeng vaults to the top of the table. But it’s a tight leaderboard and it could compress further following Sunday’s Around Hong Kong Island Race, when results of the weekend of racing will be combined to assign the points from this stopover. Hong Kong’s hometown heroes Sun Hung Kai/Scallywag had a fantastic start, but fell back and battled to a fifth place finish over Turn the Tide on Plastic on Saturday. Both teams will be determined to move up with a better result on Sunday. The Around Hong Kong Island Race is scheduled to start at 11:30am local time in Hong Kong (0330 UTC). There will be live coverage of the start and finish of Sunday’s race on www.volvooceanrace.com, on Facebook and Twitter @volvooceanrace. Fans will be able to follow the full race on the tracker via www.volvooceanrace.com. Vestas 11th Hour Racing will not race this weekend or on Leg 5 to Guangzhou next week as the team coordinates repairs to its boat – see more here.
