Red Bull GRC: Atlantic City, NJ Event Announced for August 28th

Los Angeles, CA – Red Bull Global Rallycross returns to the East coast with a brand new event in Atlantic City, New Jersey on August 28. The race will take place at Bader Field, the first municipal airport licensed to serve both airplanes and seaplanes, and more recently a host to numerous concerts and festivals.

“Bader Field is a great location for Red Bull Global Rallycross,” said Red Bull GRC CEO Colin Dyne. “Its wide open spaces will allow us to design one of the fastest tracks of the season, while its proximity to major urban markets ensures that our many passionate fans from the northeast will have a home race to attend. We can’t wait to bring our high-octane brand of motorsport to Atlantic City for the first time!”

Located on the back bays of Atlantic City, Bader Field sits between the Atlantic City Expressway and world-famous Boardwalk. The Red Bull GRC track will take advantage of the historic municipal airfield to build one of its fastest tracks of the 2016 season. Spectators will be treated to multiple passing zones and clear views of the entire multi-surface course, including the series’ signature 70-foot jump.

“We are very excited to host this thrilling motorsport event for the first time in Atlantic City. The uniqueness of this event venue will allow racers and spectators to appreciate the surroundings Atlantic City has to offer,” said Jim Wood, president and CEO of Meet AC and the Atlantic City Sports Commission.

“Working cooperatively with AC Sports Commission, we are excited to announce this event at Bader Field for 2016,” said Gregory Allen, Vice President of Bader Field Sports, LLC of Midland Park, the redeveloper of Atlantic City’s Bader Field.  Bader Field Sports, LLC is the named redeveloper of the 142-acre parcel in Atlantic City, NJ.

Red Bull GRC’s most recent race in the northeast took place in 2014, when Tanner Foust claimed victory in the series’ visit to New York. Foust is among many of the world’s top rallycross drivers expected to compete in Atlantic City, alongside Brian Deegan, Bucky Lasek, and defending series champion Scott Speed.

Tickets for Red Bull GRC Atlantic City at Bader Field are on sale now. Adult GA tickets are available at early bird prices of $25 through July 24, while kids ages 12 and under are free with a ticketed adult. For more information and to purchase online, please visit http://ift.tt/1clJdl1.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs.

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
