Petrol. Noise. Masculinity.If you had to think of a few words to describe motorsport, the above three would probably be close to mind. But, in recent time, competitions such as Formula E and now Extreme E have sought to change that. Climate action and gender equality are now the watchwords. Even F1 has launched its own carbon neutrality roadmap.A handful of teams within those competitions are attempting to push the envelope even further. Veloce Racing and Envision Virgin Racing are among the first two motorsport teams to adopt the UNFCCC's Sports for Climate Action Framework. In this episode, we speak to the leaders of both organisations: Daniel Bailey and Sylvain Filippi.During this podcast, Bailey and Filippi discuss motorsport's changing sensibilities and how they're harnessing their brands to make a positive environmental and societal impact while staying competitive on the track.Episode #54 talking points:– How Formula E and Extreme E (and the teams within them) are moving motorsport towards purpose as well as entertainment– What Veloce Racing is doing to build a culture around technical excellence, environmentalism and gender equality– Why Envision Virgin Racing is positioning itself as a climate change movement more than a sports team– How both teams plan to engage new fans and partners

Franz Jung, Vice President of China's Envision Group and Chairman of the Board of Envision Virgin Racing, the team that competes in the Formula E electric motor racing series, is our latest guest on the Business of Sport Podcast with the International Sports Convention. What is the future of motor sport in a climate emergency? With Envision Group, the world- leading greentech company as the team's majority owner, Jung, whose career before joining Envision was with luxury car brands like Mercedes, BMW and Porsche, is uniquely placed to answer that question. “We will see a steep increase of electro-mobility racing in future,” says Jung. “I can't imagine that there will be no more [fossil] fuel-powered racing, but electro-mobility races will grow a lot over the next 10 years.” Speaking to Callum Murray, he explains that Envision decided to invest in a Formula E team because it has “exactly the same vision” as the race series, which he summarises as: “Being clean', being hi-tech, being powered by battery, being powered by computing… Possibly Envision, within the entire Formula E teams, is the only company which is 100-per-cent sustainable – and this is one of the major reasons why we acquired two years ago the majority stake.” In its first season, 2018-19, the Envision team finished in third place in the team standings, out of 10 teams, Jung points out proudly, a highly commendable result for a non-OEM (original equipment manufacturer – or major car brand-backed team). Other teams on the grid count the likes of Nissan, BMW, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz and Audi as backers. However, rubbing shoulders with such brands also gives Envision the opportunity to introduce them to its own technology solutions, especially its Artificial Intelligence of Things-powered batteries (for those unfamiliar with AIoT, Jung provides a useful explanation). The technology also helped the team to win last year's race in Paris, according to Jung, enabling it to predict “almost by the minute, when it is raining and where on the circuit.” The 14-race 2019-2020 Formula E season was suspended in mid-March after five races, as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. With a possible resumption of racing behind closed doors scheduled for July, the Envision Virgin team, like others, is taking part in a virtual e-Sports Formula E racing series, the ‘Race at Home Challenge', in the meantime. Competing in Formula E is expensive, Jung admits, but media revenue growth of between 300 and 400 per cent from season to season justifies the cost, while budget caps imposed by the FIA, the sport's world governing body, and Formula E ensure that smaller, non-SEO teams like Envision Virgin Racing can remain competitive. Jung, who says he never reads management books, also discusses his own management style, after over 20 years of leadership roles in the automotive industry, saying it is built on trust: “I'm not a micro-manager at all. ‘You have your job to do. Please go and do it, and come back to me if you have a problem. And as long as I don't hear anything, everything goes well'.”
It’s been predicted that there will be nine million electric cars on the road by 2030 – and with sales of pure electric vehicles (EVs) going up by almost 160 per cent between July 2018 and 2019 (despite a general demand for new cars declining) – it’s impossible to ignore that the revolution is here!In this week’s episode of Earth Unscrewed you’ll hear from Envision Virgin Racing – a team in Formula E – the all-electric motorsport championship which is proving hat EVs can be just as sleek and powerful as their gas-guzzling counterparts.Sylvain Philippe, managing director and CTO of Envision Virgin Racing Formula E Racing team talks to presenters Helen Scales & Seyi Rhodes about the growing global interest in the vision of a carbon-free future – and how his team is doing everything they can to accelerate the creation of planet saving, climate change solutions. Listen in to learn all about what’s changed in Formula E over the last year, how the cars are developing, what the roadmap is looking like for future tech improvements, and just how long it will be before EVs are the fastest cars on the planet.

Welcome to the Tearsheet Podcast. I’m Zack Miller. What does car racing have to do with financial services? Actually, a lot. Many of the same dynamics persist — improving car and driver performance, optimizing operations and sustainability. Substitute financial performance, personalized product marketing, and risk management and now you’re talking about financial services. Can you identify patterns that provide better competitive insight and winning race strategies? Just as Moneyball revolutionized baseball, AI and predictive analytics are transforming Formula E racing. Formula E, by the way, has similar cars as Formula 1, but they’re electric. Richard Branson’s Envision Virgin Racing team approach financial services firm Genpact to see if it could improve the team’s performance. Genpact's Chief Science OfficerArmen Kherlopian joins us on the podcast to discuss how his team’s advanced analytics solutions and race strategies helped keep the racing team in the top three all season. Importantly, we talk about how this work can be applied to financial services and the role AI and predictive analytics tools will increasingly play for competitive firms. Armen Kherlopian is my guest today on the Tearsheet Podcast.

BIRD PENALISED, LOSES HONG KONG E-PRIX WIN "Sam Bird has lost his Hong Kong E-Prix victory after getting a five-second penalty for his clash with Andre Lotterer late-on in the ABB FIA Formula E race on Sunday." says Alex Kalinauckas for Motorsport.com: "Edoardo Mortara has been promoted from second to first as a result of the penalty and takes his and Venturi’s first FE victory. Bird had spent the majority of the race hounding long-time leader Lotterer and the Envision Virgin Racing driver held a sizeable energy advantage as the finish approached. On the penultimate lap at the Turn 2 90-degree right hander, Bird hit Lotterer’s right rear tyre, which caused a puncture a few corners later that dropped the DS Techeetah driver from the lead down into 14th and last of the classified drivers." https://www.motorsport.com/formula-e/news/bird-lotterer-penalty-win-stripped/4350171/ TESLA CHANGES STRATEGY: WILL RAISE PRICES AND REDUCE STORE CLOSURES "Tesla just announced that during further evaluation of its plan to close many stores, it has come to a new conclusion. The automaker now plans to leave “significantly more stores” open so that it can continue to evaluate the situation." Says Steven Loveday for InsideEVs.com: "Tesla points out that the stores it previously closed weren’t popular stores in the first place, and would have been closed regardless. It will have to review other stores over many months to determine if closure makes the most sense. In the meantime, the automaker will increase prices globally by about 3 percent. However, it’s important to note that the $35,000 Standard Tesla Model 3 will remain unaffected. The company says this price increase will only apply to the more expensive variants of its vehicles. This includes the Model S and Model X as well." A Tesla statement said: "Potential Tesla owners will have a week to place their order before prices rise, so current prices are valid until March 18th. There will be no price increase to the $35,000 Model 3. The price increases will only apply to the more expensive variants of Model 3, as well as Model S and X. To be clear, all sales worldwide will still be done online, in that potential Tesla owners coming in to stores will simply be shown how to order a Tesla on their phone in a few minutes. And the generous return policy of 1000 miles or 7 days, whichever comes first, should alleviate the need for most test drives. However, cars will still be available for test drives at stores at the potential Tesla owner’s request. Stores will also carry a small number of cars in inventory for customers who wish to drive away with a Tesla immediately." https://insideevs.com/tesla-changes-strategy-raise-prices-reduce-closures/ BAN CARS NEAR SCHOOLS, SAY HEALTH CHIEFS "Cars should be banned from around schools, according to a leading government health chief, and congestion charge zone should be considered in more towns and cities in bids to improve air quality. " writes Hugo Griffiths for AutoExpress: "Previous suggested methods for tackling air pollution include the removal of speedbumps, which would reduce emission-generating acceleration and deceleration, and fines for allowing engines to idle around schools. Councils across the country should also consider implementing congestion charge zones, similar to London’s, in order to bring down levels of pollution. 44 UK towns and cities have previously been found in breach of World Health Organisation limits for PM 2.5 particles – microscopic pieces of soot generated by exhaust fumes and linked to health conditions." https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/car-news/consumer-news/106271/ban-cars-near-schools-say-health-chiefs SONO MOTORS UNVEILS PRODUCTION VERSION OF SION SOLAR ELECTRIC CAR Sono Motors has unveiled the first images of the Sion’s series design as part of a broad online release. The focus was placed on the full-surface incorporation of solar modules into the bodywork – one of the vehicle’s unique features that have influenced its design. Thanks to technology developed by Sono Motors, the solar cells meld seamlessly into the vehicle’s surface and can generate up to 34 kilometers of additional range a day at peak performance. This is well above the average distance of 17 kilometers commuters in Germany travel to their workplace. Mathieu Baudrit from Sono said: "After unveiling our first prototype in summer 2017, we continued to develop our solar integration technology, which we have been working on since 2016. The production vehicle will feature full-surface integrated solar cells that are embedded in hard-wearing, resilient polymer and that contribute to the vehicle’s design aesthetic thanks to optimized color matching.” LAMBORGHINI AVENTADOR SUCCESSOR TO USE SUPERCAPACITORS INSTEAD OF BATTERIES? "Lamborghini CTO Maurizio Reggiani spoke to Road & Track to offer glimpses and set a few things straight. Discussing the coming LB48H supercar, Reggiani said the use of supercapacitors in that limited-run supercar will be a "first jump" into a robust hybrid application for supercapacitors, and that Lamborghini "will prove that in a super sports car, it's possible to have this technology." Writes Jonathon Ramsey for Autoblog: "Based on Reggiani's comment, and likely the fact that Lamborghini uses a special supercar to hint at what's coming in tech and design, RT takes Reggiani's comments to mean that the Aventador successor will "store its electric power electrostatically instead of electrochemically, as you would with a lithium-ion battery." https://www.autoblog.com/2019/03/11/lamborghini-aventador-successor-supercapacitors/ MASERATI ALFIERI ELECTRIC REVEAL SET FOR 2020 GENEVA MOTOR SHOW "Introduced as a concept in 2014, confirmed for production in 2018, due to be revealed in final form in 2020, and set to go on sale in 2021 or 2022 – that’s the story of the Alfieri." According to Adrian Padeanu for InsideEVs: "Maserati fans have been waiting for parent company FCA to rejuvenate the fabled Italian brand for a long time, and it looks like it’s finally happening. Company boss Harald Wester told Autocar during the Geneva Motor Show this week the GranTurismo replacement will be revealed at next year’s edition of the event held in Switzerland. Customers will get to pick from three electrified powertrains, include a pure electric variant with a triple motor setup, all-wheel drive, and 800V battery tech. The range topper – which is set to feature active aerodynamics and torque vectoring – will need roughly two seconds to reach 62 mph (100 kph) before topping out at more than 186 mph (300 kph)." https://insideevs.com/maserati-alfieri-reveal-2020-geneva/ COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.
