The FIM confirms innovations for the motorcycling world cup

The International Federation of Motorcycling (FIM) has confirmed the innovations that the motorcycling world cup will include in the future periods, hoping to make him more competitive and showy for the spectator. In this blog of the engine we will give a revision for the different changes approved by the Commission of Big Awards that they affect to one of the sports most continued in our country.

The first one and perhaps more important it is the change of cylinder capacity in the category of Motorbike GP, which will spend in the year 2012 of current 800 c.c. to 1.000 c.c. There will be six days of official tests of the organization of the championship in the circuits of Big Awards. The holidays period stays invariable and it will spread from December 1 of one year until last day of January of the following year, excepting s the pilots that there make debut in every category who will be able to enjoy of three days of trainings in November or December.

Another important point is the limitation that the above mentioned organism has put to the pilots with contract in racing teams to realize trainings different from the already programmed ones. The FIM will only allow to carry a training out the day immediately after the Big Awards of Spain (Sherry), Czech Republic (Brno) and two days after the Big Award of the Valencian Community (Cheste).

In the new category of Moto2, which substitutes the traditional one of 250 c.c., and in that of 125 c.c., the invited pilots will be exempt from the restrictions marked for the habitual pilots of the Championship of the World, which cannot run or train in any circuit of the Big Award during 14 days before to the career in this track.

Looking over the safety of the pilots, the Commission of Big Awards, it has extended the medical code to guarantee a few sanitary minimums with which every career must be provided, as well as the performance protocol in case of attention to a disabled pilot. He tries to insure himself a few good treatments of emergency and a rapid transfer to a better prepared hospital if it was necessary.

Mazda Kiyora Concept; designed to take care of the environment

The Japanese signature Mazda presented in his country the model on which there will settle the bases of his future creations. Mazda Kiyora Concept is designed to take care of the environment, without being moved by electricity, in him the next generation of respectful technologies comes alive with the environment captured in a new mechanics and in a new transmission that they receive the generic name of SKY.

The new mechanics SKY that today we bring to you this blog of the engine, will help to reduce the consumptions and the pollutant emission, preserving the habitual dynamic attributes of the Japanese mark. They get the name of SKY precisely for the commitment of Mazda to support the clean and blue skies to enjoy a conduction as efficient as possible.

His spectacular and sports design helps which the Mazda compact one offers a minor resistance to the wind, what joined a very suppressed weight, favors the reduction of consumptions and emission. The Kiyora preserves the famous "beards" that the Japanese mark has already begun incorporating his last street models.

Two new propellents that will move this Concept de Mazda are named SKY G (gasoline) and SKY D (diésel), the transmission will be automatic and it receives the name of SKY Drive.

The engines of 1.300 cc are equipped with direct injection of gasoline (it increases potency and diminishes the consumption) and an automatic gearbox of six relations, much more compact and light than the traditional ones that there helps to obtain a saving of 5 % in fuel. The motive block Sky has a novel design that reduces the mechanical friction and favors a miscellany air - fuel ideal. The functioning is very similar to the technology MultiAir that Alpha Romeo introduces in his new models.

Thanks to all these innovations, Mazda estimates the number of consumption of his Concept Kiyora in a few scarce 3,1 liters per every 100 covered kilometers.

Analysis of the Alpha Romeo Brera

Alpha Romeo put himself in hands of the prestigious designer Giugiaro so that it was drawing the one that would be one of the most ambitious projects of the Italian signature, the Brera. We rescue in this blog of the engine the nicest car of the Italian mark that nevertheless has not had the success waited on the part of the public.

The one that was presented like the most sports model of the mark, has not received from 2006 any type of renewal. His role, rather discreet, owes fundamentally to the bad criticism got for the specializing means and at a low sales level. In spite of being provided with a sports, elegant and very current design, the Alpha Romeo Brera does not stand out in paragraphs so important as the price, the consumptions and the serviceability.

His behavior in highway is exceptional, thank you especially to his frame, which although it is too a slightly excessive weight, turns the sports Italian into a stable and precise car. His interior, although it is not very wide, is very well complete and in him we enjoy an ambience eminently sports, with finished in skin and the last technologies at the disposal of the driver.

In the mechanics it is where perhaps we find the heel of Aquiles del Alfa Romeo Brera. To two gasoline engines: a JTS of 2.200cc with four cylinders, 16 valves and 185 potency CV, and cc with six cylinders, 24 valves and 260 potency CV, they lack a JTS of 3.200 something of propulsion to move more than 1.600 kilograms that the sports one weighs. Also the consumptions go off to 9,2 liters in the first one and over the 11 in the most powerful.

For all this, the most guessed right option, it is the mechanics diésel, since it obtains a good balance between services and consumption. The engine JTDM of 2.387 cc is provided with five cylinders and 20 valves, is overfed by means of a turbo-compressor and is capable of delivering 210 potency CV. The consumption is located in 6,8 liters per every hundred kilometers.

They all are of front haulage and they mount a manual gearbox of six relations.

This beautiful sports Italian is free from 36.200 euros.

It will receive his fire baptism in the Lounge of the motorcar of Detroit and it moves forward us as there will be the future lines of the new generation of this small motorcar. The American mark it reckons to commercialize it at the end of 2010 or at the beginning of 2011.

The prototype of Chevrolet Aveo RS shows us a car with a more sports and juvenile style, the small car of five doors of Chevrolet plays with the design like principal trick. His enormous rims 19 inches in diameter and five radioes (between which there are appreciated clearly the tweezers of the brake identical with the same tone that the bodywork) probably will not be the same that the series model mounts since they take a fancy excessively big for a street model. Other details that accentuate his sports spirit are: a few completely re-designed and specific optical groups for this model, new front broiler more aggressive than mounted in the model of current production and a spoiler that finishes off the final part of the roof.

In his interior the finished racing emphasize with metallic insertions for the whole cockpit, a few sports seats of excellent subjection and a frill that as it is made the seats of leather.

As for the propellent that the Aveo RS mounts, it is the same that equips the last generation of Opel Astra and that in a future will incorporate into Chevrolet Cruze, that is to say, a 1,4 liters RS Ecotec turboalimentado capable of producing 140 potency CV.

There is no frill, in his place a control of two levers does his functions, yes it is provided with the classic pedals and has numerous screens to any color where all the information of the car is reflected.

Land Glider moves thanks to two electrical engines placed in his rear part, which feed on a few batteries of ions of lithium stored under the soil of the vehicle. Nisssan has mounted in his flaming prototype the newly released system anticollision known as “Eporo“.
