"As a result, the FIA Formula 3 World Cup and FIA GT World Cup will not take place in 2021, with the aim of returning next year."
Peter Bayer, FIA Secretary General Sport said: “For many years, the Macau Grand Prix has been a season-ending tradition for much of the motor sport world and it holds special significance for the FIA as the only event to feature three different FIA World Cups on the same event schedule.
“While we will miss not being there ourselves, we wish the organisers a safe and successful Macau Grand Prix in November and we will start working immediately towards the 2022 event.”

Die Zukunft des Rennsports – ferngesteuert und elektrisch
20.10.2021Autor / Redakteur: Bernhard Lück / Dipl.-Ing. (FH) Andreas Donner
Cisco, Schaeffler, DTM und Riedel Networks entwickeln den Rennsport weiter. Das DTM Electric Demo Car fuhr den 4326 Meter langen Kurs in der Steiermark (Österreich). Der Pilot saß jedoch nicht im Cockpit, sondern rund 80 Kilometer entfernt in einem Simulator.

Anfang September steuerte der amtierende DTM-Trophy-Champion Tim Heinemann das DTM Electric Demo Car über die Rennstrecke im österreichischen Spielberg. Er selbst befand sich dabei im über 80 Kilometer entfernten Graz.
Die Fernsteuerung eines Rennwagens mit Geschwindigkeiten von bis zu 200 km/h erfordert, dass alle beteiligten Systeme und insbesondere das zugrundeliegende Netzwerk auf höchstem Leistungs- und Zuverlässigkeitsniveau arbeiten. Die Internationale Tourenwagen Rennen (ITR), Rechteinhaber der Rennsportserie DTM, und der Automobilzulieferer Schaeffler entschieden sich für eine Zusammenarbeit mit Cisco und der Riedel Group, einem Spezialisten für Echtzeitübertragung mit Erfahrung im Motorsport, um diese Innovation im Bereich der Konnektivität zu demonstrieren.
Cisco stellte die Router zur Netzwerkverbindung (SD-WAN) zwischen dem Simulator und der Rennstrecke, die Kontrolle des Autos erfolgte mittels 5G-Technologie. Das Netzwerk von Riedel und Cisco arbeite mit einer Latenz von zwei Millisekunden und könne so Bild, Kommunikation und die Signale der Fernsteuerung mit höchstmöglicher Zuverlässigkeit übertragen. Diese Art der Kommunikation sei nicht nur für den autonomen Verkehr der Zukunft essenziell, auch für kritische Prozesse in der Produktion, so Cisco.

The future of racing – remote controlled and electric
20.10.2021Author / Editor: Bernhard Lück / Dipl.-Ing. (FH) Andreas Donner
Cisco, Schaeffler, DTM and Riedel Networks continue to develop racing. The DTM Electric Demo Car drove the 4326-meter-long course in Styria (Austria). However, the pilot did not sit in the cockpit, but about 80 kilometers away in a simulator.

At the beginning of September, reigning DTM Trophy champion Tim Heinemann drove the DTM Electric Demo Car over the racetrack in Spielberg, Austria. He himself was in Graz, more than 80 kilometers away.
Remote control of a race car at speeds of up to 200 km/h requires all systems involved, and in particular the underlying network, to operate at the highest levels of performance and reliability. International Touring Car Racing (ITR), rights holder of the DTM racing series, and automotive supplier Schaeffler chose to work with Cisco and Riedel Group, a real-time transmission specialist with experience in motorsport, to demonstrate this innovation in connectivity.
Cisco provided the routers for the network connection (SD-WAN) between the simulator and the racetrack, the control of the car was carried out using 5G technology. The Riedel and Cisco network operates with a latency of two milliseconds and can thus transmit image, communication and the signals of the remote control with the highest possible reliability. This type of communication is not only essential for the autonomous transport of the future, but also for critical processes in production, says Cisco.
Mercedes has officially confirmed it will pull out of Formula E after the 2022 season,
....... saying it wants Formula 1 to be its sole factory motorsport focus – but keeping the door open for its FE team to continue without it.
After months of uncertainty over Mercedes’ Formula E plans, it emerged on Sunday – just hours before the team and driver Nyck de Vries clinched the first FE titles to carry FIA world championship status – that the Daimler board had decided against continuing the programme into the Gen3 era that begins with the 2022/23 season.
That decision was formally confirmed by the company on Wednesday morning.
Mercedes recently announced that its automotive business would be entirely electric by the end of the 2020s – a strategy that a Formula E programme seemed the ideal complement to.
But Markus Schafer, the board member responsible for Daimler Group Research and also chief operating officer of Mercedes-Benz cars, intimated that the resources required for this transformation meant Formula E could no longer be justified and that Mercedes’ ultra-successful F1 programme was a sufficient motorsport proving ground.
The Mercedes F1 team is now only one-third owned by Daimler, with team principal Toto Wolff and sponsor Ineos having the other stakes, and through a mixture of F1’s cost cuts, the team’s sponsorship deals and its prize money the amount of financial input required from Daimler has reduced substantially.
“At Mercedes-Benz, we have committed ourselves to fighting climate change at full force in this decade,” said Schafer.
“This demands the accelerated transformation of our company, products and services towards an emission-free and software-driven future, and to achieve this, we must give full focus to our core activities.
“In motorsport, Formula E has been a good driver for proving our expertise and establishing our Mercedes-EQ brand, but in future we will keep pushing technological progress – especially on the electric drive side – focusing on Formula 1.
“It is the arena where we constantly test our technology in the most intense competition the automotive world has to offer – and the three-pointed star hardly shines brighter anywhere else.
“F1 offers rich potential for technology transfer, as we can see in ongoing projects such as the Vision EQXX, and our team and the entire series will achieve net-zero status by the end of the decade.”
Bettina Fetzer, Mercedes’ vice president of marketing said “Over the last two years, Formula E has enabled us to showcase the Mercedes-EQ brand in a highly endemic and truly innovative format.”
“On a strategic level, however, Mercedes-AMG will be positioned and strengthened as our performance brand through its close alignment to our record-breaking Formula 1 team, and F1 will be our company’s works motorsport focus for the years ahead.”
Yeah I was reading up on the pairings for this weekend..... JJ v Mika Hakkinen and Petter Solberg v Seb Loeb. Cant imagine JJ racing on ice tbh.Cheeveer wrote: ↑2 years ago I'm heading to the Race of Champions this weekend, this time to be held in Piteå in the north of Sweden. Looks to be the most interesting RoC in a long, long time. Not in a football stadium this time, but on the frozen Baltic sea. A stellar group of drivers around also, some with pretty much zero ice driving experience.

Looking forward to it a lot!
