Smith wins as Marquez claims title

Marc Marquez clinched the 125cc title with a careful fourth place at Valencia, as Bradley Smith finally took his first win of 2010 in his final race in the category. Needing only an eighth place to put the title beyond rival Nico Terol's reach, Ajo Derbi rider Marquez sat in third behind Aspar team-mates Smith and Terol for most of the race, after a first-lap shuffle that saw Terol lead for a few metres before running wide and letting Smith escape. Marquez occasionally got alongside Terol to show that he was faster, but preferred not to make a move, and when erstwhile title contender Pol Espargaro (Tuenti Derbi) appeared on their tails on a recovery charge having fallen to 11th at the start, Marquez soon let him through.

Japanese automakers interested in Eliica EV technology?

Filed under: ,

Eliica

Hiroshi Shimizu is an inventor, and his electric Eliica concept car actually works. In fact, with eight wheels, each powered by its own electric motor, the $5 million EV can reportedly hit 60 miles per hour in just four seconds and has a ridiculous top speed of 200 mph.

It's safe to say that Shimizu, the President of research company SIM-Drive, has taken the path less traveled. But Wards Automotive reports that 30 companies, including Mitsubishi and Isuzu, have chipped in $250,000 apiece to attach their names to the project. Simizu says that he's working on a more conventional four-wheeled concept that should debut in January, and if that vehicle were to be produced to the tune of 100,000 copies per year, it would cost $17,500 per unit without electric motors or a Lithium Ion battery pack. The inventor claims that four in-wheel electric motors would cost $1,400 and 24 kw/h battery (the same power as the Nissan Leaf) would add another $6,000 to the price.

The icing on the cake? Simizu claims his vehicle will net 200 miles per charge, or double the distance of the Leaf. Keep in mind, though, that companies that have never produced a mass-market automobile tend to be a bit optimistic when it comes to pricing. Shimizu's technology is probably a long shot to make a dent in the market, but an investment price of $250,000 per corporation seems a small price to pay for technology that is proven to work.

Hulkenberg hopes pole helps F1 future

Nico Hulkenberg is hopeful that earning his maiden Formula 1 pole position at Interlagos today will help him cement his place in the Williams team for next year. There has been speculation that Hulkenberg could be replaced by GP2 champion Pastor Maldonado for financial reasons, despite the team saying it has been happy with Hulkenberg's performance so far. But after giving Williams its first pole position for five years, the 23-year-old German is positive on his future.
