Share this: After a year without a race in the principality, Formula E returns to Monte Carlo on Saturday for the 2017 Monaco ePrix.

The 1.097-mile circuit is the shortest on the all-electric series’ calendar, and with 12 corners, it incorporates various parts of the F1 track, such as Rasscasse and Anthony Noghes.

This Technique Racers Use To Drive Efficiently Could Benefit You On Road
Automakers nowadays try to make cars as economical as possible, but what some people don’t realize is your driving style also impacts your fuel mileage. Those who aren’t fans of motorsport might not know this, and those who are might hate it, but learning how to drive efficiently actually plays a very important role in the outcome of races.

Watch Ricky Stenhouse Jr.’s Thrilling Last-Lap Pass Of Kyle Busch Again
Share this: Ricky Stenhouse Jr.’s victory Sunday in the GEICO 500 showed exactly why the two-time Nationwide Series champion was once considered one of the hottest young drivers in the sport. The 29-year-old earned his first career Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series win by outdueling Kyle Busch, one of the sport’s most aggressive drivers, throughout the final laps at Talladega Superspeedway.

Fantasy NASCAR Racing Picks: Who We’re Buying, Selling For Talladega
Share this: After spending three of the last four weeks at short tracks, the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series is blowing things wide open this weekend, as drivers are set to compete in Sunday’s Geico 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. The 2.66-mile oval in Alabama is the longest on the circuit, and routinely provides entertaining and action-packed racing. From a fantasy perspective, predicting races at tracks such as Talladega and Daytona International Speedway is a little easier compared to other tracks, as there isn’t much grey area when looking at drivers’ skills at restrictor-plate races. Still, this season has been anything but predictable for fantasy owners, which is where we come in. You might have a budget, or you might have a limit to the
F1 Chinese GP Showed On-Track Passes Definitely Possible With New Cars
Share this: After the Formula One season opener in Melbourne, Australia on March 26, many suspected 2017 would be full of one-stop races with few on-track passes. But during the Chinese Grand Prix, those fears were dispelled. Although Lewis Hamilton maintained a gap to the cars behind on his way to winning Sunday’s race at Shanghai International Circuit, the 56-lap event was far from boring. It had everything fans could want in a Grand Prix, including changing weather conditions, a safety car, a virtual safety car and plenty of overtakes, the majority of which were completed without the assistance of DRS. Unsurprisingly, many of these moves were made by Max Verstappen, as the 19-year-old started from P19. With a damp track at the start of the race, Verstappen worked

In this case, it’s a fellow driver, former Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion Kevin Harvick, paying Larson one of the highest compliments possible. “Kyle Larson is the best driver to come into this sport since Jeff Gordon, in my opinion,” Harvick said on his show “Happy Hours” on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. “I think Kyle Larson is that good. He’s just a kid not enough people know about, but
