2012 BMW X2

There is a rumor going around for some time now regarding a brand new BMW model being launched in the near future: The BMW X2, which may become part of the BMW line up from 2011. The BMW X2 or SAR, which stands for Sports Activity Runabout, as it was codenamed, is looked at as BMW X6’s little brother or a baby BMW.

As for BMW X2’s design, it will be a two-door model with lines that resemble a coupe’s. The BMW X2 will have the same engine as the BMW X1 and probably similar technologies, including the xDrive.

2011 Formula 1 cars: Ferrari, Sauber, Redbull, Mercedes, Lotus, Torro Rosso, Williams and Renault

The Formula 1 bandwagon came down to Valencia ahead of the official testing which commenced on February 1st. Ferrari was first to reveal their 2011 cars and the others followed suit. FIA, the regulatory body for motorsports over the world has introduced a number of changes in the regulations this season.

LORENZO 2011 with YAMAHA

Valentino Rossi recently found himself embroiled in contoversy about speculation that he will race for Ducati’s MotoGP team in 2011. Rossi recently shied away from comments attributed to him that “Yamaha would have to choose between Jorge Lorenzo and him for 2011.”

Now Jorge Lorenzo has added further fuel to the controversy saying that his initial plan is to stay with the Japanese manufacturer, but hinted that he “can’t guarantee anything” for the future. Lorenzo was runner up to Rossi in the 2009 Moto GP championship, pushing Rossi hard throughout the season. Rossi recorded the fewest number of wins he has ever recorded in a title season, achieving six victories during 2009, just two more than Jorge and Casey Stoner.
The Spaniard who attended a recent press engagement in Barcelona, said that he sees his future – as least as far as the 2011 season is concerned – with Yamaha but couldn’t put his finger on anything just yet. Despite his most successful season in Moto GP, attempts to sign a contract with Yamaha beyond 2010 were unsuccessful with both Lorenzo and Rossi’s contracts running out at the end of next year.
Rossi has publicly asked Yamaha to take their pick for the 2011 season, or else there are other teams (i.e. Ducati) that would be happy to sign him. We expect this story to boil over during 2010, especially if Stoner, Lorenzo and Pedrosa push Rossi as hard as they did in 2009.
Then of course World Superbike champion Ben Spies joins the satellite Tech 3 Yamaha team next year and he’s already shown how quickly he can adapt from his performance in the final race of the season in Valencia.
With Honda’s Dani Pedrosa also reaching the end of his current contract in 2010, Lorenzo might also have a few more options to choose from himself in 2011.

2011 Honda RC212V Repsol Motogp

Repsol Honda Team announced in 2011 Honda Repsol MotoGP at the Pan Pacific Hotel Kuala Lumpur, where the 2011 Honda RC212V will be ridden by Dani Pedrosa, Andrea Dovizioso and Casey Stoner (new breeds of Team Repsol Honda). HRC team has three riders again and reminds us of the GP500 two-stroke of the 1995 season, in which Repsol Honda Team HRC also take three rider Mick Doohan, Alex Criville and Shinichi.

“In 2011, Honda Racing MotoGP efforts is stronger than ever as we did in the 90s, we will again be a three rider strong team with a clear mission: To win the title .. Our three Repsol Honda riders know how to win a championship because they have all been world champion in the past, and we’ll give them our full support to this great challenge, “said Shuhei Nakamoto HRC (Honda Racing Corporation) as Vice-President.

The Repsol Honda Three certainly has the potential to win the Triple Crown (world champion cyclist, equipment and manufacturing), which has had three consecutive seasons in the hands of Yamaha. But it all depends on how the Human Rights Committee to make the third driver to be “one heart.”

Domination trio Honda MotoGP Sepang Test Day Two

After yesterday on the first day of practice tests at the Sepang MotoGP rider Stoner Honda team be the fastest, well on the second day of testing at Sepang, Stoner returned to repeat the success as the fastest, not only that two other Repsol Honda team rider Pedrosa and Dovizioso managed to be the fastest second and third, whether this is a sign of the resurrection of the manufacturer teams racing wing flaps in this year's 

MotoGP event? Indeed joining Stoner at the Honda camp as if giving a fresh breeze and a change in the Honda racing team to be able to be number one this year, especially considering the investment that has been issued by the HRC in this season which is quite fantastic, can not reach kebangetan if number one this year.
While Yamaha's championship team last year could only be satisfied at position four and five by Ben Spies and Jorge Lorenzo, so here shows the competition going to exciting racing this year because of the top five positions occupied by both teams this Japanese manufacturer. Now for the competition satellite Honda team managed to occupy the position 6-7 by Simoncelli and Aoyama, while Colin Edwards Yamaha through diposisi 8. Well how about Ducati? To test this second day of the maestro Valentino Rossi did not appear because of illness he suffered fever, while Hayden is only satisfied diposisi 12.
