Cooper Webster to make Macau GP debut

The first driver for the 2024 Macau Grand Prix has been confirmed, with Cooper Webster announced at Evans GP. The race, which will be run for Formula Regional cars for the first time and award the category’s World Cup, takes place on November 14-17. Australian outfit Evans GP is one of 11 teams entering cars in junior single-seaters’ most prestigious race. The 21-year-old Webster was GB4 runner-up with the team in 2023, taking five wins, then he romped to the Indian Formula 4 title with eight victories. This year he has made a winning cameo in Australian F4, but done no other car racing. However the Australian already has extensive experience of higher level single-seaters, having raced in S5000 from 2021 to ’23 and taking seven wins from his campaigns in the Australian and Tasman series. S5000 is designed to be a modern interpretation of Formula 5000, a popular Formula 2-rivalling category in the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s, particularly in Australia, New Zealand and North America. The S5000 car is based around a Formula Regional chassis but utilises V8 power. “I’m really excited to be back with Evans GP for the Macau GP,” said Webster. “My experiences with Evans GP […]

Mercedes-AMG sets new Nurburgring record

The German marque’s $2.7 million hypercar just became the first street-legal vehicle to circle the Nürburgring-Nordschleife in under 6:30. In doing so, the Formula 1-inspired vehicle broke a record … that it set two years ago. What’s the best way to protect a record? You put it even further out of reach. That seems to be Mercedes’ thinking at least. The One didn’t just break its old record, it shattered it. During the latest run, the hypercar, which was driven on both runs by Marco Engel, sped around the winding circuit in 6:29.090. That’s more than six seconds faster than the 6:35.183 it posted in November of 2022 (which was itself eight seconds quicker than the previous mark). So how did the AMG One cut six seconds from its Green Hell lap time in less than two years? The car itself remains the same, but the big difference this time was the weather. Mercedes never seemed fully satisfied with the first mark, citing the weather and less-than-ideal track conditions. This time the track’s surface was completely dry, allowing the car to attain what the company called the “perfect grip.” Additionally, Engel and the rest of the AMG team would appear to have a […]

Aki Ajo appointed as factory KTM Team Manager from 2025

KTM has announced that Aki Ajo will lead the project as its new Team Manager for the 2025 MotoGP season, replacing the departing Francesco Guidotti. Ajo’s racing team, Ajo Motorsport, has been affiliated with KTM since 2012, and the partnership has produced three Moto3 championships in 2012, 2016, and 2021. From 2017, Ajo expanded KTM representation to Moto2, with his team claiming three consecutive titles from 2021-2023. Current MotoGP riders Brad Binder and Pedro Acosta ride for the factory and satellite teams. Both riders have won the championship in the junior categories. With Acosta joining Binder at the factory team for 2025, KTM believes that Ajo is the right fit based on previous working relations with both riders. Ajo was chosen to lead the project in 2025 due to familiarity with KTM’s operations and staff and previous success in the junior categories. Both Ajo teams in Moto3 and Moto2 will continue to develop riders as they progress up the two-wheeled ladder to the pinnacle. The Finn stated: “It’s an honor to be offered this great new role and opportunity to work in MotoGP with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing. “At the moment MotoGP is at a very high level so […]

Trackhouse update on Miguel Oliveira after surgery to fix fracture

Miguel Oliveira is likely to miss the next MotoGP rounds after successful surgery. The Trackhouse rider crashed during practice for the Indonesian MotoGP at Mandalika. Oliveira was taken to hospital by helicopter where they confirmed he suffered multiple fracture of the radius bone. A statement released by Oliveira has now confirmed: “Promptly assisted at the circuit’s medical centre, he was then evacuated to the local hospital to assess the severity of the injury. “After diagnostic tests, the fracture was reduced and immobilised. “The Almada rider was then able to travel to Lisbon and be accompanied by Dr. Gonçalo Morais Sarmento and his team at the Sant’Ana Hospital in Parede, where a plate was implanted to stabilise the bone. “Miguel Oliveira will have a careful recovery ahead of him, focused on the success of the surgery, and the first week will be of absolute rest so that he can then evaluate and define the best and appropriate strategy to get back on the bike as soon as possible. “At the moment, everything indicates that the rider will sit out the next two races, in Japan and Australia.” Trackhouse confirmed: “On Monday, Miguel was admitted to the Sant’Ana Hospital in Parede, Lisbon, […]
