The Future of Motorsports








I will forever be captivated and awed by motor-racing... Formula 1 particularly. It's the level of sophistication involved that captivates; the technology, the strategy, the commitment... Just finished watching the Singapore race in the living room.. good race.. it's been quite a while since the last time, kicking back, having the TV all to yourself, and enjoying a Grand Prix from the comfort of the living room.. :) One less reason for me to miss Torontoronoh.. :D Hmmmm... I wonder how my second sem. finals results would be like.. :D Eagerly waiting.. :)


Anyways, I can't help but imagine what Formula 1 would be like, 10, 15 years from now.. As consumer industry moves towards a greener and cleaner future, so must motorsports, and the technological aspect of motorsports holds an exciting and promising future for me.. :)

Porsche is an excellent example. Their hybrid technology is already seeing action in racing, and they are highly committed to perfecting their hybrid tech.. The good thing is what they learn from the development of their latest racing technology is directly applied to the road cars; the Cayenne Hybrid and Panamera Hybrid are now available at a Porsche showroom near you, and a 911 Hybrid or even electric (watch out, Tesla) isn't too far away..










Because technology is expanding rapidly everywhere, and catching-up equally rapidly is advantageous;
