Sustainability and motorsport sponsorship is an issue that I have covered in the past and is explored once again in this week’s edition of the Sustainable Motorsport Roundup. Sponsors and potential sponsors are more often asking teams and drivers about their sustainability initiatives before they commit and this week you will hear why. I also have a huge update on various developments in hydrogen-powered motorsport, some fascinating developments in ICE propulsion and what Porsche wants out of Formula E. #sustainablemotorsport #motorsportsponsorship https://lnkd.in/g4rhdP-z

For the fourth round of Jude’s first season, we headed to Anglesey for the Ginetta special round, G-Fest. Qualifying 1: After two days of dry testing, of course the qualifying session was WET! This always creates a challenge as car and driver have been set up for the dry. Nonetheless, Jude’s smooth driving style is a good match for the wet. The tricky conditions led to qualifying in 13th. We’d hoped for a little higher, but we’ve done well from this position before.   Race 1: A solid start turned into a major challenge. At turn two a number of cars left the circuit and a driver swerved in front of Jude to avoid collision. Jude had contact which hit the kill switch on his car, turning off the engine! After a few seconds to figure out what happened, Jude managed to restart the car, but was now in 22nd place. His maturity and determination came to the fore, and he worked steadily back up the pack, finishing in his starting position, but most importantly as he crossed the line, he had caught up with the leading pack.    Race 2: Even wetter race with the rain really coming down. Starting in 11th, based on his second fastest qualifying lap, Jude was again compromised at turn two, being pushed down to 14thplace. Another determined drive in soaking wet conditions, saw him fight his way back up to a top 10 finish, again crossing the line just behind the leading pack. Qualifying 2: At G-fest there were two qualifying sessions and four races, so day 2 kicked off with another qualifying run. Day 2 was dry, and the qualifying was much closer with the top 15 drivers covered by only 1.5 seconds. Jude qualified in 12th place.   Race 3: A good start again, and Jude was in the main pack as they raced up the hill to the left-hand hairpin. Some exuberant driving by another car led to a tangle and Jude picked his way through into 8thplace. From here he managed to keep pushing, using the same hairpin as an overtaking opportunity, and moving into 7th place. The leading pack had a head start after the first lap incident, and Jude had a 3 second gap to cover. He drove faultlessly, maintaining his composure in 7th place, and again, over the line was right on the back of the leading pack. Oh, for two more laps. He proved he has the pace to compete at the front, we just need to focus on improving qualifying. 7th is a great result. Race 4: Jude lined up in 13th again for the final race. Another dry race, and a good performance, moving up into 11th place and fending off some strong pressure. Crossing the line, he was once again closed right in on the leading pack and with any position from 5th backwards up for grabs, it was a frag race to the finish. Concluding the weekend a tenth of a second off another top ten finish. A great weekend, with the best result yet, and genuine top 10 pace. More great lessons in what it takes to succeed, and a clean sweep of top step finishes for the freshman class, leaving Jude 11th overall in the championship. Next stop, Snetterton.

ARTICLE... What technology do new car owners expect to feature within the lower end of the market? Rob Marshall looks at the forthcoming third-generation Dacia Duster to find out. It cannot be denied that Dacia (‘Datcher’) has seen remarkable success, since it was lifted from its native Romania and expanded into a new range of models beyond rebadged Renault 12s. While the new models were restyled, they featured relatively old-tech Renault running gear but this did not impede their success. Budget-conscious new car buyers in Europe lapped them up to such an extent that UK sales were delayed initially. https://lnkd.in/eMDW3Bng

Most people can notice good design these days (thank you, Apple)... but only a few venture deeper. At UNIT 1 it's our duty to shed light on the beautiful thing that is good design. To help us achieve this we've created UNIT 1 Lane... a Youtube Series where we discover the best EVs out there and really dive into what makes them so special. It's like a Youtube e-bike review, but on serious, design-infused steroids. We are launching in 2025 and teasing a few episodes ahead of launch. This one, however, is extra special: I've ridden my Cowboy every single day for 2 years and I firmly believe Tanguy Goretti Adrien Roose and their team have built something remarkable. You can tell when designers & engineers obsess over something... this is clearly the case: a vehicle only achieveable through obsession and the courage to break some long standing rules in the bike world. I guess this is our way of saying: we noticed. Enjoy the episode!

I've seen a lot of discussion about how the retail EV share of the new car market is better than the official SMMT figures suggest because consumers are using salary sacrifice schemes to buy EVs. However, if that was the case, I think you'd expect the fleet/business share of EV registrations to be even higher.
