O novo Century CR7 T1+ já é realidade

O carro do construtor da África do Sul que até agora só tinha versões de seu buggy 4x2 CR6 E CR6-T como o que ganhou a edição de 2023 do Rally dos Sertões ,está desenvolvendo um T1+ 4x4 para competir com as Toyota T1+, Ford T1+, Prodrive Hunter T1+, e Audi Q RS e-Tron no Dakar e outras provas de rally raid a partir de 2024.

O modelo já esteve em uma prova de rally raid na África do Sul.

Listos para sorprender: Century Racing tendrá equipo oficial de dos autos con Baragwanath y Serradori en el Dakar 2023 además de ocho autos privados incluyendo equipos Astara y Coronel

Century Racing no se rinde. Un preparador más pequeño y especializado, basado en Sudáfrica, viene entregando prototipos para rally-raid desde 1996 con comienzos modestos, pero con metas ambiciosas. Poco a poco ha ido aumentando la complejidad y competitividad de sus prototipos, hasta llegar a sorprender con una victoria de etapa con Mathieu Serradori en el Dakar 2020. Buenas presentaciones en fechas del Mundial FIA y en el muy competitivo Campeonato Sudafricano de Cross Country (SARRC) han alentado a Century, que irá con su programa más ambicioso hasta el momento buscando dar una que otra sorpresa. Serán 10 prototipos Century CR6 los que saldrán a la ruta en Arabia Saudita, incluyendo un equipo oficial de dos nuevos prototipos de última generación CR6-T para Mathieu Serradori y Brian Baragwanath. 

Mucho ha progresado Century desde que un consistente Mathieu Serradori terminara en la octava posición general luego de ganar sorpresivamente la Etapa 8 del Dakar 2020. El auto se ha mostrado cada vez más competitivo tanto en el Dakar como en el Campeonato Sudafricano y en 2022, Serradori terminó en la séptima posición pese a que el Century no es un auto T1+. Baragwanath debutó con una P32 en 2021 y terminó P14 en 2022. Algunos problemas mecánicos han sido el principal dolor de cabeza de Century y eso esperan haber solucionado con un nuevo motor completamente nuevo para este Dakar en sus prototipos oficiales pilotados por Baragwanath y Serradori, con un impulsor 2,9 litros V6 biturbo Audi proveniente del Audi RS4. 

Este potente motor de 444 HP estará acompañado con un ECU Motec y entregará tracción a los ejes traseros de este buggy 4x2 a través de una caja secuencial Sadev SL924. Adicionalmente al motor, se ha trabajado en el recorrido de suspensión llegando a 440 mm que dan al buggy con neumáticos BF Goodrich de 17 pulgadas grandes oportunidades de sorprender. Además, se ha incorporado inflado y gato hidráulico automático, para evitar perder minutos valiosos con la punta.

Baragwanath contará con Leonard Cramer como navegante, en tanto que Serradori repetirá la exitosa dupla con el ex-motard Loic Minaudier.

También tendrán algo que decir las tripulaciones privadas que pilotan Century CR6 de la anterior generación, con el motor de 7 litros V8 Chevrolet LS7 derivado del Corvette. Los que más ruido podrían hacer son los autos españoles del equipo Astara, con Laia Sanz, Carlos Checa, Oscar Fuertes y  Sergio Vallejo al volante. También están los siempre alegres hermanos Tim y Tom Coronel con un Century de su equipo Coronel Racing que tendrá para esta edición un segundo auto en Michel Kremer. Finalmente, dos equipos privados franceses tendrán a Yannick Panagiotis y Antoine Galland al volante.

Seguro estas tripulaciones poblarán buena parte del Top 20 y con algo de suerte podrían pelear más arriba en este Dakar.

one thing i actually really liked about dot and bubble was that often when the doctor (or really any other person in a sci fi show tbh) takes a modern day person to the distant future to see humanity, it portrays it like this beacon of diversity and inclusion...

but i like that this one showed that prejudices like racism aren't something that magically goes away one day, they're often in built into the structures of a lot of human society (especially structures involving the rich)... and that even when humans are scattered across the stars and invent infinitely more complicated and intelligent technologies, those old prejudices continue to rear their ugly heads and prevent people from actually becoming better...

"Arrogant, ruthless, and by all reports (including his own) utterly charming."

(I don't know why I drew this but please take Revolutionary War British officer George, I think it suits him, okay!!!)

+ George Russell the type of guy to t-pose in front of rebels

+ the usual

Okay first of all, process, as always:

I drew this in one day hahaha....Actually really fun! I haven't finished anything in almost a month, and haven't painted for even longer, so I'm kinda dying at the fact that 18th century George Russell got me motivated 😭 Sometimes when painting, I realize I have free will and can actually just start painting over the lineart, and that's the best moment of every drawing process 🙏

Also I'm very proud of his face!!! I've said before, but art progression is such a weird thing. You'll keep repeating to your self "I'm no good at [insert art thing.]" And then randomly realized you can in fact do it. That's me with drawing real people's faces 😭 I'm just so shocked I got his face pretty good in one try!!!

Okay about the pose and quote. God its so fun to misappropriate quotes for my own evil deeds. Both of these are from this one officer from the Revolution: Banastre Tarleton. Idk, I randomly saw his painting in a history video, and it's stuck in my mind ever since. And then yesterday, bcs I spent a lot of time looking at George, I'm like "hey you know what he kinda reminds me of-" and thus we have this.

I just found that quote about him from some historian to be funny, so I put it as a caption, as I would with Napoleon. This won't be an AU by any means but. I think if George was in the Revolution, he'd be the most stereotypical, evil British villain in American media type guy ever. And Tarleton is kinda that guy tbh, to the point where him and others like Arnold Benedict are the poster boys of evil Revolution guys. He even has a mocking nickname! "Bloody Tarleton/Ban", very "Osama bin Russell," no? 😭

Some notable moments from Tarleton's campaign that I think fit George: Apparently killed a bunch of American soldiers after they surrendered, making sure everyone was dead(😭😭), threatened to burn an American general's house down to make him surrender and then took him hostage, went toe to toe with George Washington himself and Washington even taunted him and Tarleton got a shot in, has a helmet named after him(very slayful.)

people are being willfully ignorant and xenophobic towards argentines, harassing them and hiding behind the myth perpetuated by the usa that it's a white country so here i am again trying to bring in actual sources to dispute this claim. nevermind that trying to bring in nuance to a discussion on the internet is like talking to a wall

erika edwards is an academic, the only person from usa that i've seen discuss this subject with the respect and the sensibility it deserves. the matter of race in argentina is just as complex as it is anywhere else and deserves to be treated as such.
