Dacia confirma proyecto para el Dakar 2025 con Prodrive y Sebastien Loeb y Cristina Gutiérrez como pilotos

Se hizo oficial. El Grupo Renault entrará con un equipo oficial al Dakar en 2025 a través de la marca Dacia. El proyecto será comandado por Prodrive, que se encargará del desarrollo y preparación del prototipo de carreras. Y tendrá pilotos de lujo en Sebastien Loeb, que buscará con Renault su esperado triunfo en el Dakar y Cristina Gutiérrez, que contará con un auto oficial en la clase T1 por primera vez en su carrera.

"Después de tantos años en busca de esto; la primera cosa que voy a hacer es disfrutar la experiencia porque creo que es una oportunidad increíble la que me están dando. Por otro lado, el hecho de estar dentro ya de un equipo oficial hace que muchísima gente esté involucrada en el proyecto, trabajando a pleno rendimiento; contando así con mejores mecánicos e ingenieros, entre otros. Todo ello, se merece que estemos a la altura de poder transmitir o desarrollar el coche para estar en una posición muy buena." indicó Cristina Gutiérrez en el lanzamiento de la estructura. "Contamos con la experiencia y el apoyo, como equipo técnico, de Prodrive. Los conozco muy bien y ellos ya tienen una base bastante sólida en el Rally Raid, fruto de los años de experiencia que les avalan haciendo coches. Especialmente los dos últimos, con el proyecto Hunter”

El equipo Dacia contará con el apoyo de Saudi Aramco, que desarrollará un combustible sintético verde desarrollado con hirógeno verde y captura de carbono.

Para Dacia, el paso al Dakar representa un importante paso de marketing de la marca buscando posicionarse también en un segmento 4x4 deportivo y divertido, dejando la clásica imagen que se ha tenido de la marca de autos económicos.

"El rally-raid es una aventura humana y deportiva, claramente en correspondencia con los territorios de la marca Dacia: es una aventura robusta y al aire libre al volante de un prototipo 4x4 desarrollado para hacer frente a las condiciones más extremas; es una aventura eco-inteligente, con el coche de carreras de Dacia funcionando con combustible sintético, y una aventura esencial pero genial con un objetivo ambicioso que no deja espacio para lo superfluo" declara el comunicado de prensa de Grupo Renault.

El Rally Raid volverá a recibir la llegada de grandes marcas para disputar la victoria general. Hoy contamos con Toyota y Audi, enfrentando a Prodrive, y en 2025 contaremos con los dos nuevos programas de Ford y Dacia en plena escala.

what has been happening in the world of motorsports lately?

Charles' race engineer Xavi Marcos will be replaced by Bryan Bozzi from Imola onwards while Xavi moves to a different project within the team

Ollie Bearman will be completing junior FP1 session for Haas in Imola

Ferrari tested new anti-spray wheel covers during their filming day in Fiorano (they look horrendous) - as well as the new upgrade package they will introduce in Imola

besides them, also RBR and Mercedes are bringing upgrades - Mercedes will introduce them over the next 4 races, Oscar will get full package Lando got in Miami and Sauber are set to introduce the upgrades to help with their bad pitstops

Pierre will have a special Senna tribute helmet in Imola

Jamie Chadwick scored her first podium in Indy NXT

Miami GP donated over 40 thousand portions of food that was left over from the race weekend through Food Rescue US

Marc Priestly says multiple Red Bull workers are considering departure from the team after Adrian Newey left (if you don't know him, he is maybe the most well known former mechanic)

Helmut Marko said that the rumours about Daniel getting replaced by Liam Lawson were started by Liam’s management and that’s why it was reported by a New Zealand journal first

Red Bull will present RB17 hypercar that Adrian Newey developer at Goodwood

George has a film??? Made with UBS (but it is actually a short video on social media?)

McLaren has new merch line for Monaco which is inspired by the (good) old times

German media are saying that Audi already took over Sauber and both current drivers would be out of the team

Abbi Pulling became the first woman to win British F4 race <3

the f1 Brad Pitt movie’s budget is already over 300 m AMERICAN DOLLARS

Joe Saward thinks that Alpine might be the destination for Carlos Sainz starting from next year because neither Mercedes nor Red Bull want to commit to him and rather prefer to wait and see how people shift across the teams first and since Carlos Sainz sr worked with Bruno Famin for Peugeot in Dakar, he has some links to it

speaking of, Carlos Sainz sr has been confirmed as Ford’s driver for Dakar 2025

multiple drivers or former drivers (Charles, Lando, Oscar, Zak Brown, Mark Webber, Ollie Bearman, Arthur Leclerc and even Adrian Newey) went to see Grand Prix de Monaco Historique this weekend (also just for fun: Zak Brown drove Williams FW07B

after Guenther Steiner sued Haas, Haas took a look at Surviving to Drive and they are suing him for unauthorized use of their trademark :))

Loic Serra and Jerome d’Ambrosio will start officially working for Ferrari from October

MotosportWeek spoke to Alex about his future and he refused to confirm he will drive for Williams next season (despite having a contract through 2025) and James Vowles didn’t want to comment on potentially letting him go sooner with an exit clause either

there are more rumours about Chicago GP, this time of it potentially being signed already from 2026 onwards

it’s been confirmed that the HP (ew) deal is worth 100m dollars a year with additional benefits and all technique equipment from the company (laptops, computers, printers, 3D printers etc) to Maranello

Ford confirmed their targets for 2026 RBR power unit are being met, the rumours about them being behind in the development are nonsense and they obviously don’t know where others stand with their engines

Helmut Marko said that if he was in Newey’s position he would choose red (or something like that I am paraphrasing oe24.at)

[perfectlycleverduck]

Carlos Sainz SR is driving with ford in 2025 for the Dakar rally would they say Carlos to RBR now due to that existing relationship🤓

[the-lazy-leprechaun]

The Hamilton to Ferrari move have been hinted at for YEARS! Literal years, so it’s not a complete shock I guess… I feel bad for Carlos but I have a feeling there is non-F1 cards in the play for him from 2025. I saw him at the Dakar supporting his dad and just in his way around the people he looked like this would be something fun to do. So I’m thinking maybe a solid rally contract and maybe a Dakar in the future since his father have hinted at retirement during his interview post-win.

People have suggested that Lewis will have to follow the strict Ferrari rules and he will not be given any special treatment. This, I can tell you now, is bullshit. Ferrari has their own fashion line, and getting Lewis on board, they can enter into a different market so it is possible that we will still be seeing Lewis is some sick gear every week. Special treatment? From the team who let Michael Schumacher essentially do to the car and steering wheel what he wanted to make them a championship winning team? Don’t play with me. Lewis will reinvent the steering wheel, likely sort out the terrible communication between driver and engineer, and also beat someone with a stick in strategy because lord knows this red team…

As for which team we will be supporting - I support drivers, not teams. Because teams play with their drivers like little toys. I have no interest in that. Also both Ferrari and Mercedes have given me grey hair so no thanks!

Dacia Manifesto: La inspiración del nuevo proyecto del Dakar 2025 de Renault

Comienzan a saberse más datos sobre el proyecto de Renault para su regreso al Dakar de forma oficial en 2025 con la marca Dacia. El periodista especializado francés Gael Robic reportó que el proyecto estará inspirado en el Dacia Manifesto que se mostró en el Salón del Automóvil de Paris de 2022. Además, confirma que Prodrive estará detrás del proyecto luego de que el ciclo de Bahrain Raid Xtreme esté llegando a su fin. El proyecto de Dacia será confirmado en las primeras semanas de julio.

El Dacia Manifesto es un auto conceptual que Dacia mostró en 2022 intentando inspirar hacia donde quiere llevar sus modelos 4x4 en el futuro. La marca rumana usualmente es asociada a vehículos económicos y Renault también quiere mostrar que puede tener autos divertidos, la razón por la cual futuros modelos de Dacia recibirán inspiración de los elementos que se muestran en el Manifesto. Si ya hay planes de un auto de carrera, tal vez pronto veamos una versión de calle coincidiendo con el lanzamiento compitiendo con vehículos como el Ford Bronco o el Jeep Wrangler.

Al estar involucrado Prodrive en el desarrollo del prototipo, Sebastien Loeb parece ser la figura clave a reclutar por parte de Renault, una compañía competidora a Peugeot-Citroën que han sido los habituales asociados a Loeb en la mayor parte de su carrera. Además de Loeb, Dacia tiene interés en fichar pilotos emergentes como podrían ser Mattias Ekstrom y Cristina Gutiérrez.

Pollock confirms he is planning a return to F1 with new equal-gender team | 2023 F1 season

Former British American Racing Formula 1 team principal Craig Pollock has confirmed he plans to return to the sport with a new team in 2026. Earlier this year the FIA opened applications for new teams to enter F1 in 2025, 2026 or 2027. Pollock plans to submit an application for his new project, named Formula Equal. He intends the team to include an even split between genders at all levels. “The concept and the idea was to try and build a F1 team, 50% male, 50% female, which is extremely hard to do if you have an existing F1 team,” he told CNN. “It’s a lot easier with a clean sheet of paper.” The FIA previously indicated it will confirm at the end of next month which if any prospective new F1 teams have been selected. Among the criteria they will be judged on is “considerations of sustainability, EDI (Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion), and societal benefit”. The backing for Pollock’s project is rumoured to come from Saudi Arabia, which joined the F1 calendar in 2021 with a race in Jeddah. The country is keen to increase its involvement in motorsport and has also hosted Formula E and the Dakar cross-country rally in recent years. The president of the country’s motorsport federation, Prince Khalid Bin Sultan Al Faisal, said in January he is keen to attract teams to the country. Pollock said he is planning the “first F1 team that is truly outside of Europe”. “This has to be built from the bottom up in a Gulf state and this is what we are aiming to do,” he said. “This is a long-term project – this is not short-term.” Regarding the source of his funding, Pollock said his company is “in intense discussions” with “a Gulf area country”. Pollock previously managed 1997 F1 champion Jacques Villeneuve. He formed the BAR team, backed by British American Tobacco, which entered the world championship in 1999 with Villeneuve as one of its two drivers. Pollock was replaced at the head of the team at the end of their third season of competition.

Éliminatoires CAN 2025: le Sénégal sauvé par un penalty litigieux face au Burundi

Le Sénégal s’impose sur la plus petite marge contre le Burundi, pour le compte de la deuxième journée des éliminatoires de la Can 2025. Quatre jours après avoir été surpris par le Burkina Faso (1-1) à Dakar, le Sénégal a dû passer par un penalty discutable pour venir à bout du Burundi à Lilongwe (1-0). C’est une victoire importante, mais loin d’être rassurante pour les champions d’Afrique 2022…
