Berger: Schumacher will go away after 2012 F1

Former McLaren and Ferrari driver Gerhard Berger be expecting that seven time world champion Michael Schumacher will stop his F1 career at the end of the 2012 season. The German Schumacher, who first leaves the Formula 1 in 2006 previous to making his comeback two years ago, is toward the inside the final year of his agreement with Mercedes GP.

The Champion has fight back to opposition the pace of team-mate Nico Rosberg so far, even though the 43-year-old's performances did start to pick up towards the end of last season. In last season Schumi had done 54 points, but its 13 points behind his guy German Nico Rosberg.

I do not think he will extend his agreement. At this point I think it will be sufficient, The Austrian told Auto Moto und Sport. He has no option beside Rosberg. He will have to acknowledge that at more than 40 years old he cannot beat a young driver at his level.

modern era of automobile

The modern era is normally defined as the 25 years preceding the current year. However, there are some technical and design aspects that differentiate modern cars from antiques. Without considering the future of the car, the modern era has been one of increasing standardisation, platform sharing, and computer-aided design.

Some particularly notable advances in modern times are the widespread of front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, the adoption of the diesel engine, and the ubiquity of fuel injection. While all of these advances were first attempted in earlier eras, they so dominate the market today that it is easy to overlook their significance. Nearly all modern passenger cars are front-wheel drive monocoque/unibody designs, with transversely-mounted engines, but this design was considered radical as late as the 1960s.

Body styles have changed as well in the modern era. Three types, the hatchback, sedan, and sport utility vehicle, dominate today's market,[citation needed] yet are relatively recent concepts. All originally emphasised practicality, but have mutated into today's high-powered luxury crossover SUV and sports wagon. The rise of pickup trucks in the United States, and SUVs worldwide has changed the face of motoring, with these "trucks" coming to command more than half of the world automobile market.

The modern era has also seen rapidly rising fuel efficiency and engine output. Once the automobile emissions concerns of the 1970s were conquered with computerised engine management systems, power began to rise rapidly. In the 1980s, a powerful sports car might have produced 200 horsepower (150 kW) – just 20 years later, average passenger cars have engines that powerful, and some performance models offer three times as much power.

Naza sponsors solar car for varsity students

PETALING JAYA: Naza World sponsored RM65,000 for Taylor’s University students to build a solar-powered car for the upcoming Shell Eco Marathon Asia 2011.

The Shell Eco Marathon Asia will be held for the second time in Malaysia from July 6-9 in the Sepang International Circuit.

The Naza World-Taylor’s Eco Team is one of the 121 teams from various universities taking part in the challenge which has two categories – urban and prototype.

The team comprises five first-year students from Taylor’s University School of Engineering.

The winning vehicle will be the one that achieves the greatest distance using the least amount of energy.

The competition is held annually in America, Europe and Asia. This is the second time it is held in Asia.

Auto transport is simple and easy

Most of you may think that auto transport is not an easy process and also you will be in a chaos state of how to do the car transport in an easy and simple way. People who want an easy and simple auto transport process can read this article. I tried my best to put some important points regarding the process of auto transport so that the readers may easily understand the car shipping process. This seems to be simple, but I want every reader to understand well. First what is auto transport? Auto transport has many names such as car transport, car shipping, vehicle shipping and auto shipping. All the terms have the same meaning. When one call a process easy and simple? If a process is good at all technological aspects and doesn’t hurt you in any means and provides you comfort and safe in all aspects, then the process can be called as simple and easy.

Similarly the auto transport process is easy and simple, I am not simply saying, it is really true. And I experience this auto transport process in America. I will explain how my car transport becomes very simple and safe. When I was in the Maryland, USA I just want my car to get transported to New York and may be the distance is 274 km, but I am unable to drive myself. With the help from my friend, I just approached the auto transport company. They made this process an easy one and once I booked my car to get transported, they approached me very soon, and came to my place and took the car. They used the open method of auto transportation since I preferred for that. Along with other vehicles they transported my car.
