2014/2015 Formula E calendar revised

Some changes to the inaugural FIA Formula E Championship calendar have been agreed by the FIA World Motor Sport Council.

Most significantly, the round in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil that was originally scheduled for the middle of November has been cancelled. However, according to Formula E organisers it has merely been postponed, so the event could reappear in a future season.

In its place will be a race in February hosted by an as yet unnamed city. Consequently, the Los Angeles date has been shifted back to April.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle.
