Suzuki GT750, Endurance Racer Pictures and Specification

Motorcycle Suzuki GT750 Endurance is a new project of Rassie van Aswegen, a talented custom motorcycle builder from South Africa. The bike was very substantial: 750 cm3, devil tactics, liquid-cooled, modern suspension, great brakes.

Rassie bought a motorcycle Suzuki GT750 last year on property in Tennessee. In spite of the Year (1976), the bike was in excellent condition, so van Aswegen, bought it without even thinking. Rassie decided to make a Suzuki GT750 motorcycle endurance racing-style bike Suzuki TR750, where Barry Sheen raced in 1975.

Project details:
• Redesigned frame, installed seat Rickman
• Fork yoke, front brake and wheel from the Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa 2005
• Fairing – a combination of components and Ducati 750SS 1997 Airtech
• Almost stock 3-cylinder engine
• Many small things

Next-gen Mercedes-Benz GLK probably won't get AMG variant

“Right now we don’t see that market'

AMG director of vehicle development Tobias Moers says "right now we don't see that market" in reference to a next-gen GLK-Class AMG.

The next generation of the Mercedes-Benz GLK is scheduled to arrive in 2015 and will be based on the MRA platform utilized for the new C-Class. Even though AMG previously said more AWD cars will be launched, apparently the 2015 GLK isn't one of them.

However, Moers added "maybe we will change our mind, but right now we don't see a marketing approach for that." He said things could change when the Porsche Macan will be out, but until then slim changes of seeing a GLK AMG.

When asked if Audi diluted the RS moniker by launching the RS Q3, Moers replied "I don't think is the right strategy" since "it's not enough horsepower for an RS model."

V8SUPERCARS : KIWI FRONT ROW LOCK OUT FOR RACE ONE

Thursday 14 March 2013 20:00
By: V8 Supercars

New Zealanders Fabian Coulthard and Shane van Gisbergen will start the opening leg of the MSS Security V8 Supercars Challenge tomorrow.

Coulthard claimed pole position with a lap time of 1m 55.6682 seconds with Brad Jones Racing team mate Jason Bright setting the second fastest time of 1m 56.0173 seconds with Tekno Autosports' Shane van Gisbergen setting a 1m 56.0444 lap.

Despite qualifying second, Bright will be forced to start from fourth position after being served with a two spot grid penalty for completing a lap after the chequered flag in practice one.

As a result, third placed qualifier van Gisbergen will move to the front row of the grid while Lowndes will start third alongside Bright.

Jamie Whincup and Ford's David Reynolds will occupy the third row with Jonathon Webb and Scott McLaughlin starting seventh and eighth.

Pepsi Max Crew drivers Will Davison and Mark Winterbottom round out the top ten.

Coulthard described the qualifying session as a dream run

"It was unbelievable," Coulthard said.

"I had a clean run. I never really saw another car."

Bright admits he was disappointed not to be starting on the front row after a strong qualifying result but a mistake in practice one cost him.

"I didn't see the flag because I was looking at my dash," Bright said.

"It would have been nice to have both the BJR cars on the front row.

"We've both been getting good starts lately so a drag race into turn one would have been interesting," he added.

Race one of the MSS Security V8 Supercars Challenge will commence at 11:00 AEDT tomorrow and will be broadcast as part of the Formula One coverage on One HD from 12:00 AEDT (check your local guide).
