2015/2016 Formula E calendar announced

Paris is set to become a host city for the second FIA Formula E Championship. Its ePrix will be run on a street circuit around the Les Invalides area of the 7th arrondissement.

The 2015/2016 schedule, which has just been approved by the World Motor Sport Council, includes eleven rounds.

Compared to the just-completed inaugural season, the Miami event has disappeared. Also, the Monte Carlo race isn’t on the calendar because it alternates with the biennial Grand Prix de Monaco Historique.

Once again, the Formula E finale is going to take place in London.

One venue has still to be revealed. However Alejandro Agag, CEO of Formula E, gave a big clue when he said: “As for the location of the fifth round, the one on 19th March, we are working to maintain the same geographic allocation of races: the aim is to have a fourth ePrix on the American continent.”

‘New’ Jensen Interceptor

There’s something very retro-chic about using a classic car as a daily driver, but it’s an activity that comes with the permanent risk that aged mechanicals might expire at any time. Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
