There at the start 75 years ago, Pirelli hits the 500 grands prix mark (Pirelli)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n ‘A further step in this direction stems from the FIA\u2019s decision to increase the pit lane speed limit from 60 to 80 km\/h, thus reducing the time taken for a pit stop.’<\/p>\n Honda loves IndyCar but remains noncommittal on future (Racer)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n ‘Like Honda, which is known to be considering a move to NASCAR, a public commitment from Chevy is also needed.’<\/p>\n Dominant Alex Palou defends decision to stay out late (IndyCar)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n ‘It’s really tough (to pit) when you’re leading. If everybody else stays out, suddenly you pit from first and you go to eighth. There’s no way with lap cars in between (us and the new leader) we would end up winning. I would still do the same.’<\/p>\n Salvador de Alba gets first win; Dennis Hauger takes title (Indy Nxt)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n ‘It\u2019s been an incredible season as a rookie with Andretti. Super proud to be a part of them and part of this championship season. A few ups and downs but mostly ups. This is a big championship win for me.’<\/p>\n Can women\u2019s sport turn itself into big business? (Financial Times)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n ‘The female car racing series F1 Academy has attracted sponsorship from beauty brand Charlotte Tilbury, while Arsenal Women created a fashion collection with designer Stella McCartney. Cricket has brought more girls, women and families to the sport in England and Wales through the creation of the Hundred, a short-format competition.’<\/p>\n NASCAR Brasil: Barrichelo gabarita etapa Match Point no Velocitta (NASCAR Brazil series – Portuguese)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Rubens Barrichello: ‘I fell in love with the category and adapted very quickly to the car. And this is a very important moment for me. Realising that I’m still very competitive, winning this title, and having my family close by was very special. It’s from them, my father and my children, that I get my energy. I feel very grateful for everything that happened.’<\/p>\n RaceFans always endeavours to credit original sources.
