A one-off Nissan GT-R has been built to raise money for the Usain Bolt Foundation,it was unveiled at the Detroit Motor Show last month.

In Octo-ber Bolt was ap-p o i n t e d Nissan's honorary "Director of Ex-citement" B o l t said: "My partner-ship with N i s s a n benefits my Foun-d a t i o n . This do-n a t i o n will help many kids h a v e b e t t e r f a c i l i t ies.

It was sold at auction on eBay for an amazing price of

$187,100 around £116k

The new owner of the "Bolt G o l d " s a i d : " T h e N i s s a n GT-R just g e t s b e t t e r and more refined, and with this gold GT-R it also cel-e b r a t e s the in-credible achieve-ments of U s a i n Bolt."

Aspiring youths wanting to do some moonlighting may find this Piaggio Ape Cross Country just the ticket. Ape is Italian for bee and have been buzzing around (!) since the 60s and best remembered by parents and grandparents as what Inspector Clouseau drove into a swimming pool. Priced around £5,000, it’s a great deal and looks good too.

Last month, a new law came into effect in the UK that allows 16-year-olds to drive lightweight microcars with a top speed of 28mph. In Spain kids of 14 can drive these microcars, as long as they are powered by no more than a 50cc engine and the drvier has passed a theoretical highway code test. Here's our pick of what’s available.

The Peel P50 is officially the world's smallest car. Originally made in the 60s, it's being made once again with the involvement of former Drag-ons' Den entrepreneur James Caan. Being a 50cc, it fits the bill, but priced at £10,000, it's very expensive and I can't imagine any teenager actually wanting one, unless they want to get beaten up.

We have all followed an Aixam on the Spanish roads, but look what they've done to it! Every teenagers dream, a pimped up car they can drive.

So it's never going to win at traffic lights, but it is certainly the coolest drive around for the youth of today. Only one setback: You need to be 18 to carry passengers in it and who wants to turn up at a discoteca solo-mente?

�e North American International Auto Show or the Detroit Motor Show as we call it, had its fair share of American muscle and we look more at those cars that will make it into the European market.

Star of the Show

�e Chevrolet Corvette C7 has revived the legendary Stingray name, last used in 1976. Left-hand drive imports are expected in Europe later this year, with a price tag of around €60,000.

�is Tesla is an all-electric 7 seater SUV that has a pair of gullwing rear doors and will accelerate from 0 - 6 0 m p h quicker than a 400hp Porsche 911 Carrera S.

Hyundai have made this HCD-14 Gen-esis concept with rear-hinged doors at the back and no B-pillar and a 5.0-litre V8 engine. Nice.

�e Lexus IS is similar to the concept shown last year and retains the sexy hourglass grill. Available later this year in Europe with 2.5l V6’s, expect to pay around €35,000.

�e In�niti Q50 is a luxury saloon with elegant styling and will be priced like the Lexus.

LÍNEA DIRECTA BECOMES THE FIRST INSURER TO SELL ITS PRODUCTS VIA MOBILE TELEPHONE

Call now for more information on 902 123 104

With this new tool, the insurer hopes to record over 150,000 quotes per year and strengthen its position as the leader in Internet and mobile applications. The new quoting system has been designed taking into account aspects such as Internet surfing habits, easy operability, simplic-ity and user-friendliness for the customer.

Línea Directa’s commitment to mobile technology is part of the growing importance of Internet searches on smartphones, due to the fact that in 2015 over half of all organic searches on the Internet will be carried out using these devices.

The website will initially be available for offering car insurance quotes and will then be extended to cover the company’s motorbike and home insur-ance sectors. Linea Directa’s new page for smartphones also includes information on the insurer’s main products and services and offers a click-to-call service which allows users to send a request for the company to call them if they have any questions or if they wish to purchase the policy with the help of an operator.

Línea Directa has launched its new website for mobiles, which makes it the first insurance company to distribute its products via Smartphones. The new site, which uses xhtml technology, is compatible with the iOS, Android and Blackberry operating systems and is capable of offering customers a price in under 3 minutes while asking them no more than ten questions. In addition, unlike other websites, which use “masks” in their mobile versions, Línea Directa’s new quoting system is 100% adapted to Smartphone technology.


MOTORS IN THE NEWS CCTMcLaren To Build 12C Can-Am Edition I think we've featured a McLaren ´special edition´ for the last 6 or so months and here's another one! McLaren made a Can-Am inspired concept version of their very successful 12C GT3 racer to raise its profile as a customer car. They received so much interest that they have decided to produce them for 30 elite clients with a price tag of £375,000. The 12C Can-Am is a no holds barred racer. With power restrictions being thrown out, this car now produces 630bhp from its 3.8 litre twin-turbo V8. More extreme aerodynamics don the Can-Am over the GT3 making it, as McLaren put it, “the ultimate track car.” Like the Pagani Zonda R, the Can-Am is really just a toy, since it does not meet the eligi-bility requirements of any race series.

New Technology For Our Cars.1: A ́ Head-up display´ sat-nav has been developed by technology firm Harman that projects the picture onto the base of the car’s windscreen. Basic versions are available in luxury cars already, but only show simple instructions. Harman´s technology features ‘augmented reality’, a CGI that reacts in real time to the road ahead. So if you need to take a particularly motorway exit, the image shown on the windscreen is superimposed over where you need to go, and adapts as you get closer. It will be seen on produc-tion cars within two years.

2:‘Geo-fencing’ is the idea that the vehicle can only travel in a certain space and if goes outside that area an alert is triggered. Great uses include parents with a teenager who has recently passed their driving test and wants to take your car out. You’re okay with them commuting to and from college but don’t want them straying from that route. You can set up a ‘geo-fence’ so that if they break the rules you get a message sent your phone. Available first in the USA, it will be in Europe before long. The Car That Runs on Air.

French car giant PSA Peugeot Citroen believe they can put an air-powered vehicle on the road by 2016. They unveiled the new 117mpg hybrid, which uses the 'Hybrid Air' engine system and runs on petrol and air, instead of electricity. The system works by using a normal internal combustion engine, special hydraulics and an adapted gearbox along with compressed air cylinders that store and release energy. This enables it to run on petrol or air, or a combination of the two. The air compression system can re-use all the energy normally lost when slowing down and braking. The motor and a pump are in the engine bay, fed by a comp-

Motorcycle sport can be defined as the recreational and competitive use of motorcycles, a sportpractised by both professionals and amateurs on roads, tracks, closed circuits, and natural terrain.

The History of Motorcycle Sportby Jill Carter

Racing became so popular that in 1904 the Fédération Internatio-nale du Motocyclisme (renamed the Fédération Internationale Motocycliste [FIM] in 1949) created the international cup, uniting five nations: Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, and Britain. The first international cup race took place at Dourdan, France on September 25, 1904 with full participation from the five countries. The race was won by France, but disputes arose over the racing conditions. This also saw the virtual mothballing of FIM until in 1912 Britain took the initiative and delegates from Belgium, Denmark, France, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands and the United States met to solve their differences The FICM was re-established in order to control and develop the sporting and touring aspects of motorcycling and to assist motorcycle users in those fields. Two weeks later, a Congress was held in Paris in which - beside the countries already mentioned - Germany, Austria and Switzerland also took part. These ten countries are considered as the official founder members of the FICM. By 2012 these had grown to 107 affiliated Members, consisting of 107 National Motorcycle Federations (FMN), divided in 6 Continental Unions; Europe, North America, Latin America, Africa, Asia, Oceania.

The Isle of Man hosted the first TT race in 1907 on a course that became world famous and is still in use today.

Motorcycle racing in North America began in 1903 with the forma-tion of the Federation of American Motorcyclists in New York City. By 1924 this society evolved into the still-active American Motor-cycle Association. Since 1937 the Daytona 200-mile (320-kilometre) race has been the leading U.S. race. It is held on the same road circuit used for the 24-hour Daytona auto race. The Belgian motorcycle-racing Grand Prix dates from 1921, while Germany began motorcycle Grand Prix racing in 1925, and the Dutch Grand Prix started that same year.

Not surprisingly motor cycle sport developed mainly in parallel with that of the motor car and in the early days races such as the ill fated Paris-Madrid road race had a class for motor cycles. Initially the de Dion tricycle dominated the field in the late 1890’s, but was superseded by two wheelers such as the Werner. Werners were very successful in early competitions; their star rider, Auguste Buquet's New Werner, was the first of seven motorcycles to finish in the 554 mile Circuit du Nord race in 1902: his time was less than 34 hours! The following year, Buquet was the first motorcyclist to finish the marathon 870 mile Paris-Vienna race, coming in fifth overall.

There are many forms of motorcycle racing, the main types are road racing, trials, speedway, motocross, drag racing, ice racing, and hill climbs.

Road races are held on closed courses, parts or all of which may be public roads. The motorcycle road-racing world championships were established in 1949; in these races, machines are divided into several classes based on engine displacement, from 50 cubic cm (3 cubic inches) up through 125, 250, 350, 500, and 750 cubic cm. Local clubs and organizations all over the world have their own international road-race meetings throughout the year.

Motorcycle trials, which date back to pre-World War I days, are relatively slow, on-and-off highway events of long duration in which speed is not a determining factor.

Speedway racing, which came into being in the early 1920s in Australia, is conducted on short, flat oval dirt tracks for short distances. The machines used are ultra lightweight, with small fuel tanks and small brakes.

Motocross is a type of cross-country race consisting of a specified number of laps over a closed course laid out on rough, natural terrain. Motocross racing was introduced in Great Britain and on the European continent in the late 1940s and early ’50s, and by the ’60s it had become a popular spectator sport. It was demonstrated in North America in the 1960s, and the first regularly scheduled series of motocross events there was held in 1970.

Drag racing is an American event dating from about 1950. This type of racing consists of a series of acceleration, or top speed, contests, each between two racers, on a straight, smooth-surfaced course that is one-quarter mile long.

Ice racing started in Scandinavia in the 1930s and has spread to other temperate-climate countries. It is held on ovals on frozen lakes or on ice-covered stadium tracks, and the bikes use spiked (studded) tires.

Hill climbs are uphill-road races in which each rider races against the clock, and only one machine is in motion at any time.

The above is a brief overview of the varied motorcycle racing and its history, which has a long and illustrious pedigree.On the Costa Blanca there are a number of bike clubs to suit all tastes. We would be happy to publish details of your club contacts for free in this magazine and look out for our Bike Special next month!

Each year the motor-sport world heads to Birmingham UK for the Autosport International Show. After the winter break its a chance for all connected with motor-sport to meet up under one roof, meet new people and old friends, see the latest gear, announce a new deal and maybe get a new deal signed. One of these announcements was the launch of the new F4 formula, which has the backing of the BRDC, on the MSV stand Jona-than Palmer and BRDC president Derek Warwick unveiled the car and talked about the figures and costs of the new formula.

The weekend saw the doors open to the public and the celebrity talkers on the Autosport and F1 stages. These included the three times F1 champion, Sir Jackie Stewart, his F1 championship cars had their own display and included the Stewart Ford F1 car. Included were some of the cars from the other formulas that drivers of that time raced in. Unlike modern F1 drivers, Sir Jackie Stewart, Graham Hill, Jim Clarke and others raced in mul-tiple cars from many formulas.

Report and Photos by Tim Surman

The show is a utopia for any petrol head after the winter. Where as for the trades and teams its a way to meet up, for the fans its a chance to get excited about the year ahead and to get closer than ever to the cars and stars.

Two stands that seem to share colours but are world apart, Caterham and Classic Team Lotus. Caterham showed every-thing from a Super 7 to their F1 and Classic Team Lotus? Well how about a JPS liveried Renault Turbo power F1 car, with the upper body work removed and suspended above, originally driven by Nigel Mansell. Another F1 team was McLaren, a stand and shop, from the latest Jenson hats and T-shirts to signing up for McLaren club membership and your photo taken with the 2012 F1 car.

Nigel Mansell’s Lotus F1 Car


The ever popular BTCC had a stand of its own, with some cars from the 2012 season, fans can get up close to the cars and really have a good look around them, no tape to keep you out and away. BTCC fan favourites like Jason Plato, Matt Neil, 2012 champion Gordon Shedden and WTCC champion Rob Huff were on the Autosport stage too. For touring car fans of yesteryear, when the racing involved less pushing and shoving and more sideways action, the HSCC had cars on display from these years.

As always the Auto-sport International Show did the job for all motor-sport fans and automotive nuts, they must be well and truly warmed up, ready for the years action on track and road.

Tim Surman www.timsurman.co.uk

The Live Action Arena was the normal mad high octane mix of lights, noise and burning rubber. Drift cars did a sideways dance around the arena, with masses of tyre smoke, engine noise and flaming exhausts, Shane Lynch of pop band Boyzone fame was one of the drivers and stopped and waved to the crowds. Terry Grant and two female drivers did a James Bond inspired stunt show. The only quieter moments was the Autocar best of British, although most of the cars may have been built in Britain, the owners of the company’s are not! The winner of this years McLaren Autosport Award so also announced as Jake Dennis.

For those that really wanted to splash some cash, the Coys Auto-sport auction. Being the a motor-sport show the cars tended to be race focused, they included the 1956 MG Magnette ZA called Bumble. The car raced at last years Goodwood Revival in the St. Mary`s Trophy. Not all cars up for auction had a racing history, some had a different kind of star driver. Freddie Mercury`s 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was a star of its own on the day, a list price of £9,000-£11,000 but the hammer fell at £74,000.

Suzi Perry Takes Over From Jake Humphrey.Yes, we can confirm that Suzi Perry has been chosen to present the BBC's Formula 1 coverage from the start of next season, replacing Jake Humphrey. Suzi presented the BBC's MotoGP coverage for 10 years and we think she will be good for F1. The BBC extended its agreement to show Formula 1 though to 2018 in July 2011, sharing rights to the sport with Sky Sports:

Damon Hill was born in London in 1960, son of two-time F1 Champion, Graham Hill. Although he spent his young years around in the F1 world, he didn’t start racing competitively until 1981. First on motorbikes, then moving into cars and through the formulas until

he reached F3000 in the late 80`s. He moved into F1 in 1991 when he was offered a position as a test driver for Williams. The following year he raced in the series for Brabham before being offered a seat in 1993 for Williams after the 1992 Champion Nigel Mansell left the William team. He won four races in the season, finish-ing 3rd in the Championship. The following year Alain Prost retired and Aryton Senna briefly became his team-mate before his tragic accident at the third race of the season. Damon Hill went onto battle for the title, losing out by one point after a controversial incident with Michael Schumacher in the final race. He took runner up again in 1995 before dominating the 1996 season and claiming the title. He moved to Arrows before retiring in 1999. Since then he became presi-dent of the British Racing Drivers' Club, during which Silverstone secured its long-term status as host of the British Grand Prix, he stepped down from this last year and took up a post as Expert Analyst for the new Sky Sports F1 channel. He is the first son of a World Cham-pion to win a Championship and his own 22 year old son Josh, also shows promise as a driver, despite only getting into it himself a few years ago.

that it would not be easy to replace Lewis but admitted he would have to be competitive from the start. "You are coming here to deliver results, to win championships. This is the target when you come to McLaren, the best team in F1, you have to really deliver the results." He pledged to "do my very best, give my very best to McLaren". He added that he expected no problems working with team-mate Jenson Button. "I think we will work very well together for the team but obviously the target is to beat him and all the others. But I think myself with Jenson, we are a very good team." He will get his first real feel of the McLaren at the first pre-season test in Jerez, Spain on the 5th to the 8th of February, ahead of the start of the season in Australia on 17 March.

Sergio Perez Aiming For The Cham-pionship.McLaren’s new recruit Sergio Perez says his ambition is to fight for the Formula 1 championship in his debut season. The 23 year old Mexican, recruited to replace Mercedes-bound Lewis Hamilton, joins after two seasons with Sauber. "Hopefully we can have a very strong car and fight for the championship. That has to be the target," Sergio said. He continued

Max Chilton signs deal to drive for Marussia.Max Chilton has become Formula 1's fourth British driver after signing to drive for Marussia this season. He was the team's reserve driver and impressed bosses with his speed and ability to set up the car. Max joins fellow British drivers Lewis Hamil-ton and Jenson Button, who drive for Mercedes and McLaren respectively, and Force India's Paul di Resta. Charles Pic left Marussia at the end of last season, choosing to drive for rivals Caterham in 2013. Timo Glock has also parted company with Marussia, so it’s unknown who will partner new recruit Max. Max’s brother Tom drives in the WTCC, partnering Costa Car Trader’s friend James Nash. Marussia finished 11th in the constructors' championship in 2012, losing out on 10th place at the final race of the season in Brazil to Caterham.

1. What made you decide to participate?Two reasons really, we were both involved in motorsport from the 60s to the 80s and this was an opportunity for us to take part with a not too expensive car. We also wanted to give something back and help children in these current hard times. We decided to tie the two up and here we are!

2. Did you race together in the past?No, we met about 10 years ago in a social club over here in Spain and shared a common history and love of rallying and immediately became good friends.

3. Have you seen the rally in previous years?Yes, we saw the start of it last year and it convinced us that it was worth doing.

4. What's the support been like? Very good, people have been so supportive, donating items and money and the last race night was very successful.We are very grateful to everyone who is supporting us.

5. Do you have a specific goal/ achieve-ment you are aiming for?We want to raise 2,000€ for kids here in Spain and Morocco.

6. Did you imagine you would be getting back in a rally car when you moved to Spain? No! We both thought it was over in the 80's and are delighted to be able to participate again.

You will be pleased to know that the popular Spanish Insurance of�ce has now expanded and is no longer just in Quesada, there is now a branch open in La Zenia, just round the corner from the new shopping centre on the Mercadona and Lidl site.

With house insurance that can cover every-thing down to your large water bill after a burst pipe. Funeral cover regardless of your age or health. Car insurance at the best prices. Community insurance policies put together just how you want them. Actually, there really isn’t anything they can´t do!

Spanish Insurance -Cutting Prices, Providing Great Service!

LykanHypersport

At US $3.4 million, this hypercar should be something special and it is. It is the first Arabian supercar and has the speed and ultra-luxury to go with it. The rear-engined twin turbo flat six 750 bhp engine is claimed to hit the 100 kph mark in 2.8 seconds (0.1 second quicker than a Lamborghini Aventador) from standstill with a top speed of 390 kph (242mph).

With diamond-encrusted LED lights, gold stitched interior leather seats, a reverse door opening system and an interac-tive dashboard. The car also-comes with a 24-hour dedi-cated concierge service and a free $200,000 special edition

Cyrus Klepcy watch.

It's the brainchild of Beirut-born car designer Ralph Debbas, who is the lead investor, chairman and CEO of W Motors and has track record of design-ing several concepts for such luxury automakers like Land Rover and Aston Martin, before starting W Motors in 2006. Only 7 units of the car would be available for sale with deliveries start-

ing from September 2013 onwards.
