You can’t think about the Autosport International without the Formula 1 cars. Like previous years, Autosport brought the last year’s F1 cars and the good old ones (aka retro)! However, this time, there was something really special. The Formula E car from Jaguar Racing team. Here they are…

Autosport International Formula 1 Cars
Like every year, Autosport International featured the Formula 1 car! Probably the very rare opportunity to see each car and compare their aerodynamic details with other competitors.
Also this year at Autosport 2015 International, I had chance to see the last year’s Formula 1 cars with their interesting front-ends. Last year, there were lots of speculations regarding to the new front-end regulations but I didn’t have a chance to see them. Until now!

Formula 1 engine sound is one of the most fundamental problem of this season due to new turbo V6 engines. Many people did not like the sounds of turbo and the weird sounds coming from the exhaust. The YouTube sensation Marchettino decided to create a video, which you can compare the sounds Formula 1 engine sounds; V6 vs. V8 vs. V10 vs. V12!
Basically, he created a scale to measure the different engine sounds of Formula 1 cars. And if you didn’t find this topic interested, please don’t leave! Just check the Louis Vuitton, Christian Louboutin and Bugatti articles :)

Formula 1 is on a new path, V6 1,6-lt Turbo petrol engines. And everyone wonders one thing; how will the 2014 Formula 1 engine and exhaust sound like? Everyone knows that new 1.6-lt engine is not an iconic piece for exhaust and engine noise and also the engagement of the turbo changes everything.
Hopefully, some thoughtful people uploaded the video of the new 1.6-lt turbo Formula 1 engine noise to YouTube. And it does not sound like old days but we will get use to hear the turbo, which we are quite familiar from our public buses. Or from the Subaru Impreza!
Honestly new Formula 1 engine sounds weird! We will miss old days.
Like previous years, Autosport International 2014 featured the Formula 1 cars of last season. It was great opportunity to see the cars that fought for the championship all year and just standing in front you. Sometimes, it is really hard to believe that, these cars are capable reaching very high speeds and each designed bit of the vehicle is created by ultra precise calculations of aerodynamic efficiency to reduce 0.001 second for each lap.

David Coulthard celebrates Red Bull’s Formula 1 victory on the top of the Burj Al Arab hotel’s helipad. Let me give you a brief knowledge about the world’s first seven-star hotel in Dubia with the height of 321-metre. And there is helipad on the top of the hotel.
Literally, doing donuts with a Formula 1 car on the top of the Burj Al Arab hotel needs some bravery and lunacy. As all the Formula 1 drivers are a bit lunatic, it is not surprising to see Coulthard celebrating the victory over there.
I just wonder, if something went wrong and he lost the control, what could have happened?

Improved McLaren MP4-12C at London Dealer

McLaren MP4-12C is the second car wholly designed and manufactured by McLaren after McLaren F1. MP4-12C does not have a very charming and marketing friendly model name but that’s the only drawback. MP4-12C is designed by Frank Stephenson and you can watch my interview with him about MP4-12C on YouTube.
Last week, I visited the McLaren’s London dealer in Knightsbridge, placed under the most expensive apartment One Hyde Park. Like the factory, McLaren dealer is designed with perfection. And they show the improved version of MP4-12C with a special colour, Kiwi Green.
This MP4-12C is no different than the previous one, actually only minor things have changed and except vehicle rise system and door button, the rest of the software upgrade can be applied to existing owners with no extra cost.
The revised MP4-12C has more power, 625 HP without any revision on engine or exhaust, just a new software. New gearbox software to improve gear shifts. There is a new lightweight wheel design. Software update on in-car entertainment system to improve sound system and experience.
Unfortunately, physical door button is not available to apply to existing vehicles due to technical issues. But, it is better than the touch sensitive button. And I was sure that, McLaren is going to replace iPhone style door opening system. It was too sensitive for adverse weather conditions. Another cleaver feature that cannot be applied is the rising vehicle for speed bumps and adverse road conditions. This is a must for fast cars!
And McLaren is going to keep developing the MP4-12C and offer these updates with no extra cost to existing owners. Because, McLaren is a Formula 1 company and each season the F1 car is developed all the time. Therefore, McLaren transferred this philosophy mass production road car, MP4-12C to reflect McLaren DNA.
And thanks for the great hospitality to McLaren London Dealer.
