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.

‘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.
