In the team they know it and a Marc Márquez who fears a season far from the best despite having definitely put his physical problems behind him. The next appointment arrives in Portimao.

They have, we have good ideas, and I speak in the plural because we are a team and we are all together.” “We have many ideas, but in Malaysia it was time to test things at a conceptual level for now during this month until the tests of Portimao, evolve and test them there“, the Spaniard has expressed in statements collected by &...

Esteban OconAlpine pilot, does not rule out that the surprise is Aston Martinthe new project of Fernando Alonso. In statements collected by ‘Soymotor’, the Frenchman said that the green team “seems like a strong rival”: “Everyone talks about them.

At least for now Accent ends its history in our country and in a certain way it is a pity, since it was a model with an interesting trajectory in our country, since its presence dated from the time of the Verna by Dodge, which was nothing more than the second global generation of this car. The third and fourth generation assumed the name of Dodge Attitude. The fifth, with Hyundai officially established in our country, adopted its real name and was even manufactured in Mexico.

While one story comes to an end, another begins and that is that Hyundai does not abandon the subcompact segment, but rather introduces the new HB20, a car imported from Brazil, which, like its predecessor, is presented both...
Enlarge CDA February 16, 2023 0 There is a legal loophole that allows some cars to travel up to 150 km/h on Spanish roads. Many motorists complain about speed limits.

For manufacturer car tests 120 km/h sign. Enlarge Thus, 120 km/h is the maximum speed at which you can go in Spain with your vehicle,...
