For 2013, it’s safe to say Peter Sauber and company are hoping to get back to 2008’s level of performance with the C32. Besides the Ferrari engine, Sauber will also be taking advantage of a Ferrari KERS system. As for the overall look of the car, Sauber elected to fit the “vanity panel” on the nose, while the sidepods are considerably narrower than past F1 cars. It looks darn good to us, and as we all know, a pretty racecar is usually a fast racecar. Let’s hope that holds up for Sauber this season.

Reports from the Wall Street Journal are true: Bernie Ecclestone will get his wish of an F1 race in the shadow of Manhattan’s skyline. The United States will be hosting not one, but two Grands Prix. Besides the sophomore race at the purpose-built Circuit of the Americas in Austin, a street circuit will be constructed along the Hudson River in Weehawken and West New York.
Mercedes-Benz has revealed its newest research vehicle, this one with emissions-free driving as the main subject of study and innovation. Called F125! (M-B includes the exclamation point), it is an F-Cell (hydrogen) plug-in hybrid with a range of 621 miles.

There have been plenty of racing games that have popped onto the scene over the past few years. The Forza series is a great road-racing game, while the Need For Speed series offers a more tuner-oriented racing experience.

The one niche in the genre of racing simulation that has had the toughest time over the last decade, though, is Formula 1. While F1 licensed titles have come out like clockwork, none have really been lauded for their quality.
As we reported a month ago, F1 track design regulars Tilke GmbH are busily working to create an interesting 3.4-mile circuit just outside of Austin for the US Grand Prix. The track incorporates ideas and learnings from current F1 circuits, adapted to the gently rolling countryside east of Austin.
