Valentino Rossi reckons the wet weather which is forecast for tomorrow’s French Grand Prix could favour Ducati. Having qualified a year-best seventh at Le Mans, Rossi said he was happy with both his showing and the competitiveness of the Ducati – but said he could potentially fare even better if Sunday’s race runs, as expected, in the wet. “Today was a bit more positive: we put together yesterday’s settings with a few modifications and I improved,” Rossi explained

Casey Stoner says heavy traffic on his final two flying laps cost him the chance to seal a second straight MotoGP pole position at Le Mans. The Australian had been top heading into the final two minutes of the session, only for works Honda team-mate Dani Pedrosa to move three tenths clear and seal provisional pole. Stoner was still out on circuit and had the benefit of fresh rubber, but said being held up by traffic had prevented him from taking full advantage and responding to Pedrosa’s late effort

You don’t hear too much about the Henrik Fisker-designed Artega GT, but its occasional appearances are always welcome. In this episode of Where’s Artega Now?, the folks at eGarage worked with Germany’s Christopher Kippenberger, who make a quadrocopter designed for capturing aerial footage.

A day was spent at Germany’s Blister Berg Drive Resort, essentially a German version’s of Spain’s Ascari Race Resort. One slight difference: Blister Ber’s track isn’t finished, so the Artega was left to drift it out over the construction site threading around haulers and front-end loaders.

Kippenberger’s quadrocopter is of his company’s design, meant to bring both Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and helicopter shots into the range of the enthusiast video shooter. At $5,000, it’s not cheap, but that’s a steal compared to other UAVs – and just pennies compared to a helicopter – and each unit is built-to-order.

But enough reading. Have a look at what it and the Artega GT can do in the video below.

The Red Sox Racing League began Season Two of 2012 at the Daytona International Speedway’s road course.  Despite giving considerable thought to using the recently released Cadillac as the Class B vehicle, league officials decided to stick with the Corvette C6R for this season.  “We may switch to the Cadillac for Season Three, or add a third class if we can build both fields”, said Jeff Thomas before the race began.  “But we needed a little more time to hammer out the fixed setups and did not want to rush into this season with a car that wasn’t fully tested.” The “RUF Automobile Presents 24 Laps of Daytona” was billed as a 24 lap race of endurance.  With eight new drivers hitting the track as members of the RSR league, [...]

No, that’s not a Mitsubishi i-MiEV in a fat suit, it’s the automaker’s brand-new all-electric race car, and it’s set to take on the 2012 Pike’s Peak International Hill Climb in July. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen an EV enter the Pike’s Peak challenge – Nissan commissioned a Leaf for battle last year, a car that set the bar for all future electric racers.

Mitsubishi says that its race car, dubbed i-MiEV Evolution, uses the same motor, drive battery and other major components as the standard, bean-shaped electric car that we haven’t quite grown to love. Aside from the additional bodywork, the chassis has clearly been lengthened and widened, and the race car now uses an all-wheel-drive configuration rather than the rear-wheel drive of the standard i-MiEV.

To give you an idea of just how big the racer is, a quick glance of Mitsubishi’s specs show that the i-MiEV Evolution’s dimensions are within a few inches of the stock Lancer Evolution. We wouldn’t be surprised if the all-wheel-drive system was sourced from the Lancer, as well.

Mitsubishi will also be bringing two more of its EVs to the Pike’s Peak event, including an i that has been updated with a more aerodynamic front bumper and new safety equipment, as well as a bone stock model. Scroll down for the official press blast.

Pedro de la Rosa says his HRT team should focus on itself rather than try to concentrate on closing the gap to rival Marussia. The Spanish squad has been fighting at the back of the grid after getting its new car ready just before the season-opening Australian Grand Prix. Marussia has been HRT’s closest rival since the start of the year, but rather than focusing on beating the British squad, de la Rosa reckons his team should try to continue to improve step by step

Adrian Sutil is confident that he will have the opportunity to return to Formula 1 despite being without a seat for 2012. The German, who raced for Spyker/Force India from 2007-2011 before losing his seat for this year, returned to the F1 paddock at last weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix. While there are no opportunities currently available, he believes that if he is patient there will be chances to make a comeback.

Casey Stoner says racing in the V8 Supercar series is something he will consider in the future after announcing his retirement from MotoGP. The 26-year-old Australian confirmed in a press conference at Le Mans on Thursday that the 2012 season will be his last in MotoGP after two titles with Ducati and Honda. Stoner said he had lost his passion for MotoGP and admitted he will consider a future in V8 Supercars, but not right away.

Gresini Racing believes it made a breakthrough in its so far disappointing 2012 MotoGP campaign in practice for the French Grand Prix at Le Mans on Friday. Although the team’s new rider Alvaro Bautista sits sixth in the MotoGP standings and took top-six finishes in Spain and Portugal, he has yet to emulate the frontrunning form of his predecessor on the factory-spec Gresini Honda, the late Marco Simoncelli.
