FUJI

The Speedway on the foot of Mount Fuji was once considered a very dangerous venue, but since the track's extensive modification, that took place between 2003 and 2005, it complies with modern safety standards. Fuji managed to re-establish itself once again in the motorsports world by staging the Japanese Grand Prix in 2007 and 2008. In 2013 it will host, amongst others, the resurrected Asian Le Mans Series, the Super GT, the Super Formula and of course the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo Asia Series.
Rain is a big factor the Super Trofeo teams will have to count into their tactics at the Fuji Speedway. Due to the location right below the mountains, the clouds often open up above the track. The rain can be quite heavy and sometimes also brings mist. But driving on the Fuji track is tricky even without extreme weather conditions: While the flowing corners in the first and second sector demand the driver's skills, the super-long straight (1.5 km) requires a strong and reliable engine like the V10 in the Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo 2013.

McLaren P2 by Rakesh

The McLaren P2 is a concept created by Rakesh Bag , a Student of The Aditya Birla Public School , Veraval , Gujarat from INDIA The styling of the McLaren P2 is more attractive and less clinical than the McLaren P1 , but you can bet your entire worldly possessions on the fact every last millimetre of the bodywork has been extensivley analysed in the windtunnel. The front is unique and original, the way lower part of the bumper flows back into the ‘C’ shaped headlights is inspired. And the P2’s rear end has got to be one of the best in the business. Stunning. “the McLaren P1 and P2 will be the result of 50 years of racing and road car heritage. Twenty years ago we raised the supercar performance bar with the McLaren F1 and our goal with the McLaren P1 and P2 is to redefine it once again.” “Our aim is not necessarily to be the fastest in absolute top speed but to be the quickest and most rewarding series production road car on a circuit,” adds McLaren Automotive Managing Director Anton...

Lamborghini Sesto Elemento

Lamborghini has already confirmed that the Sesto Elemento will indeed be headed to the production line, albeit in a very limited run. With such a minute number being produced, anyone would be hard-pressed to get know when Lamborghini is even actively selling it, let alone be able to grab hold of one of those units. The task of purchasing an Elemento got even harder as a high-end dealership in La Jolla, just north of San Diego, confirmed that Lamborghini was already accepting orders for the car and that only three units were headed over to the United States. The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento will be offered at a princely sum and rumors suggest that payment will be taken Reventon-style, which means three equal payments of $300,000 or higher with the remainder being paid at the end of the deal. That kind of price tag will bring its owner a 570 HP V10 engine and a power-to-weight ratio of only 1.75 kilograms per HP. This allows the Sesto Elemento to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in a sensational 2...
