Even if the statistic used is killed/seriously injured per million kilometres driven the U.S. is way off the mark. The U.K., where traffic is more dense and moves faster, has half the U.S. death rate.

The rising rate of road deaths in the US continues to defy global trends. Here’s what traffic planners in other nations could teach their American counterparts.

I was chatting with a friend who lives in California, and he was surprised when I told him that the United States actually has amongst the lowest petrol prices of any developed country. Prices in Canada, for example, are significantly higher. Unfortunately the insular nature of many in the States means they fail to realize thar inflation and fuel prices are a global issue, not the fault of President Biden or any other countyès administration. Prices are per litre in USD.

New plug-in hybrid-powered Rally1 competition cars, 100 per cent fossil-free fuel, sustainable energy supplies and safer spaceframe chassis are part of the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) and WRC Promoter’s commitment to a greener future.

The key changes, some of the biggest and most far-reaching in the championship’s near-half century history, are:

WRC top class Rally1 to be powered by hybrid technology from 2022
Following the FIA’s PurposeDriven strategy, the WRC mandates hybrid technology for the series’ top Rally1 class from the 2022 season.

All manufacturers involved in the top tier of global rallying agreed on a common hybrid unit supplied by Compact Dynamics. The German-based company also provides hybrid components to other top level racing series like Formula 1, Le Mans Prototype Class 1 and Formula E.

Weighing 84kg, Compact Dynamics’ high-performance P3-topology hybrid system accommodates a motor-generator unit (MGU), control unit and battery in a compact housing, thereby delivering maximum power density. The battery for the hybrid system is supplied by Compact Dynamics’ partner, Kreisel Electric, based in Austria.

The unit consists of a 3.9kWh capacity battery pack which is coupled to the MGU, delivering 100kW (134hp) of power and 180Nm of torque during acceleration.

Unfortunate that 2021 World Champion Max Verstappen was booed by some fans during qualifying at the British Grand Prix. I spent several years of my racing career based in England, the fans I met were usually bpth well-mannered and knowledgeable. Verstappen is a superb racer, best to just enjoy the chance to see him and the other Formula 1 drivers in action. I'm a driver more than a racing fan, I've only been to two races purely as a spectator, In neither case would I have dreamt of booing any of the competitors.

When I first signed on as a consultant and instructor at the Skip Barber Racing School, Jim Clark was a senior instructor, working mainly at Lime Rock Park (racetrack) in Lakeville, Connecticut. A fine man and innovative instructor, with a wonderful droll sense of humour. I had lots of knowledge, based on years of international racing and coaching, but was nervous as a wet cat when doing presentations to U.S. audiences. I struggled to get used to the surprisingly different culture in the Eastern States. From Jim and other senior instructors I learned to deal with those nerves, which has helped me in so many ways. Jim was a strong supporter of mine from the start. He died recently, and will be sorely missed by all his friends and colleagues.

Senior instructor Murray Lunn and I ran another excellent program in Surrey British Columbia. Super-tight confines, we had to be on our game.

Funny how stories about the Kardashians, The Bachelor, and other at least partially fake reality shows actually make the news. Mountain Men, Ice Road Truckers, Naked and Afraid, and many of that ilk have been shown to be largely staged. I am also wildly uninterested in Lewis Hamilton's dating life. The only thing worth of attention is what he does on the race track. From Cosmo:

The excerpt from Racer, below, is why I told a couple of wealthy amateurs I've been coaching that they were not ready to race in the 24hr. Traffic, especially at night,can be quite disorienting, exhausting, and dangerous for those who are not mentally and physically ready.

By Richard S. James | January 29, 2022 12:32 PM ET
Traffic management is a key to any multi-class endurance race; that’s a given. What makes this years Rolex 24 At Daytona different is that the number of cars has increased dramatically, and the type of cars has changed. It’s pushed the traffic equation to another level.
IMSA added LMP3 to some rounds of the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, including Daytona, last year. That added an additional element, and another tier of speed for other drivers to manage. This year, instead of a handful of GTLM cars and 19 GTD cars, there are 35 GTD cars. Those cars are spread across two classes, but those classes are defined by the pace of the drivers, not the capability of the cars.

There are 61 cars slated to start the race. The drivers are going to be very, very busy, and getting into a groove where the laps just roll by will be difficult, perhaps impossible. The quiet periods where the DPi and LMP2 drivers aren’t either passing a car or trying to figure out how they’re going to pass the car ahead will be infrequent and brief. For some drivers that will be a blessing; others will find it frustrating. And it will most definitely make a difference in winners and losers in some classes, if not all.

“I was waiting for traffic, because I think at the end of the day, this is what makes this race so interesting,” said Filipe Albuquerque after he and Ricky Taylor won last week’s qualifying race in

There is plenty of media speculation as to whether seven time World Champion Lewis Hamilton will retire from Formula One. I don't know the man, so can't comment on his personality, but he is obviously a superb racing driver. To be fair, he has had the best car, Mercedes, and the best team. If he does retire there are plenty of drivers who would likely do an excellent job with Hamilton's ride.

A few logistic complications, but we are setting up a course in Kamloops next week. The skid car is even more entertaining when slush and snow are added to the mix.
