The Finale Bahnen-Tournee is a UCI Class 1 event. The 22-year-old Esow Elben, who became the first Indian to win a cycling world championship medal after clinching a silver at the 2018 edition, finished behind Germany’s Marc Jurczyk and France’s Sebastien Vigier - both world championships medallists. Sebastien Vigier was also part of the French team which won the Team sprint cycling bronze at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Esow Alben’s campaign in the men’s sprint event in Dudenhofen, however, wasn’t as successful. The cyclist from the Andaman and Nicobar islands finished 24th among 27 competitors in the event. Last year, Esow Alben became the first cyclist from India to participate in the UCI Champions League. Esow’s compatriot Ronaldo Singh Laitonjam, meanwhile, finished 10th in the men’s sprint event at the Germany meet. 🥇","event":null,"destination_url":"","entry_point_tag":"base","entry_point_type":"instory_campaign"}" data-tracking="click" href="https://www.olympics.com/en/sign-in?entry_point_type=instory_campaign&entry_point_tag=base&template=base&origin=https%3A%2F%2Folympics.com%2Fen%2Folympic-channel" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Olympic Membership - Free Live Stream Sports & Original Series - join now As promised, Opel developed an all-electric rally car, the Opel Corsa-e Rally (based on the production Opel Corsa-e/Vauxhall Corsa-e) which will be used in all-new ADAC Opel e-Rally Cup The first two development vehicles currently are undergoing durability testing at Dudenhofen Test Centre in Germany as Opel would like to be ready within a few months After the development program is completed Opel will build a reference car and start working on 20 units for the 2020/21 season starting on December 15 2020 (15 to be available for customer teams in summer 2020 for "significantly" less than €50,000 (£46,000) (net)) "The Corsa-e Rally has the same battery as the production car The 50kWh energy storage capacity enables a range of 337km according to WLTP In order to optimise the range for rallying the battery offers three modes: in “competition mode” full power and maximum torque are available so the “rain mode” gives a torque curve adapted to slippery surfaces Teams will use the energy-saving “eco mode” between stages and for driving to service." Both cars are covering as many kilometres as possible in order to gather the maximum amount of data at an early stage There is no experience of an electric rally car that we could turn to so initially we had to rely on calculations and simulations These are being gradually replaced with real data Other focuses are on loads and temperature management of the battery under rally conditions I am pleased to report that our programme is going smoothly.” it is important that the performance remains constant and accessible under all conditions The equipment should guarantee equal opportunity for all participants We also decided that the Corsa-e Rally should match and exceed the high standards of its petrol-engine predecessor the 260Nm of torque is much higher than the ADAM Cup’s and the weight distribution is also very good which is extremely important for an agile competition car Now we need to find the most balanced chassis setup so in January we will start simulating some real rally stages.” The comprehensive development programme of the Opel Corsa-e Rally for the ADAC Opel e-Rally Cup is proceeding at full speed Two examples of the battery-electric rally car are currently undergoing durability testing at the Dudenhofen Test Centre “Both cars are covering as many kilometres as possible The engineers at Opel Motorsport will turn to the speed of the 100kW (136hp) electric rally car in the second phase of development The equipment should guarantee equal opportunity for all participants” “We also decided that the Corsa-e Rally should match and exceed the high standards of its petrol-engine predecessor As soon as development of the Corsa-e Rally has been completed a reference car will be built that will also serve as the template for customer vehicles Around 20 examples are expected to be built for the 2020/21 season up to 15 will be delivered to customer teams in the summer – in time for the first test event in July Ideal setup: drive modes for rally stages and road sections The Corsa-e Rally has the same battery as the production car Teams will use the energy-saving “eco mode” between stages and for driving to service Orders for the Corsa-e Rally can be placed now entries for the 2020/21 ADAC Opel e-Rally Cup open on December 15 Additional information is available at www.opel-motorsport.com or www.adac.de/e-rally and via email to customer@opel-motorsport.com Luton – Vauxhall reports today that sister brand Opel is currently conducting durability tests for its Corsa e-Rally Cup “Both cars are covering as many miles as possible Other focuses are on loads and temperature management of the battery “We also decided that the Corsa-e Rally should match or even exceed the high standards of its petrol-engine predecessor up to 15 will be delivered to customers in the summer – in time for the first test event in July The 50kWh energy storage capacity enables a range of 209 miles according to WLTP full power and maximum torque are available for at least 60km entries for the 2020/21 ADAC Opel e-Rally Cup open on 15th December 2019 Additional information is available at www.opel-motorsport.com or www.adac.de/e-rally and via email to customer@opel-motorsport.com 2024 Vauxhall Corsa Electric To Start At £32,445 In The UK The 2026 Jeep Compass Gets An EV Version With Up To 404 Miles Of Range Opel and Vauxhall's Corsa-e And Mokka-e Gain More Range Waymo Is Far From Done With The Jaguar I-Pace UK: Plug-In Car Sales Reach New Record In March 2021 Ford Isn't Slowing Down Mustang Mach-E Production Peugeot e-208 DC Charging Test: Peak Rate Is Close To 100 kW “September 10 will be a totally new experience for the Opel Test Center,” says Vice President Vehicle Engineering at Opel the site has grown into Opel’s largest and most important test center in Europe We are looking forward to celebrating this anniversary with our guests to giving them a look behind the scenes while again demonstrating how exciting and approachable our brand is.” Opel’s test center features 70km of test tracks numerous test and development benches over 2.8 square kilometers of land and the opportunity to visit it is a rare one The main action will take place at the recently completed Skid Pad where the main stage and catering will be located The Klassik Tour Kronberg will make a stop at the testing facilities where it will complete two special stages.

No other woman has ever covered a greater distance powered solely by her own physical strength in this time span Nici already beat the previous women’s record of 1,012 kilometres in just under 22 hours To break the women’s 24-hour world record was my goal It’s too bad it rained – that got in the way of achieving even more,” said Nici Walde at the finish line “But I know one thing: This fantastic endeavour would not have been possible without Opel and their great support.” “What Nici Walde did yesterday and today is more than extraordinary This achievement is unique,” said Johan Willems "We at Opel have done our best to support this ambitious and exceptional athlete we were quite sure that she would be successful This is also made very clear by our motto #WeBelieve." but also numerous Opel employees and fans supported Nici Walde on site during her extreme ride The most successful bobsleigh pilot at the Winter Olympics André Lange and two-time Olympic quadruple scull champion both kept their fingers crossed for Nici Walde Opel brand ambassador and winner of the 24-hour races at Le Mans and the Nürburgring Joachim “Jockel” Winkelhock was also on site Because they all know what it means to dare to attempt the almost impossible while always believing in yourself – 24 hours later the new world record is set After weeks of planning and countless rounds of preparation on the road and at the Opel Test Center the "New 24-hour HPV World Record" endeavour entered the decisive phase on Friday Nici Walde and the Opel representatives presented the meticulous preparations that were necessary on all sides to turn the record attempt into a new world record On Saturday morning the time had come: tension at the Opel Test Center was palpable before the starting signal – and Nici Walde took off with her 257-centimetre long 64-centimetre wide and 88-centimetre high velomobile The recumbent bicycle with full fairing weighs just 14 kilogrammes and was developed by her partner Daniel Fenn The 44-year-old athlete covered lap after lap on the 4.8-kilometre long high-speed track in weather conditions with temperatures that sometimes topped 30 degrees Celsius during midday and afternoon hours and included intermittent torrential rain But it became particularly strenuous for Nici Walde as the sun set and the ride through the night began Because staying awake and constantly maintaining total concentration is even more difficult in these hours The loud cheering during the last laps on Sunday morning motivated Nici to give it everything she had When rower Karl Schulze finally waved the flag at the finish line Nici Walde had covered a total of 1,088 kilometres in 24 hours and surpassed the previous record for women by 76 kilometres The sometimes adverse weather conditions kept the men’s record of 1,219 kilometres out of reach the extreme athlete completed 227 laps on the high-speed track at the Opel Test Center reaching top speeds of up to 56 km/h with her own physical strength – a top performance Nici Walde is now officially not only in possession of the 12-hour but also the 24-hour HPV world record And the Opel high-speed circuit in Rodgau-Dudenhofen is once again a world record track after numerous records in the past set both with and without engines This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks

pure-electric rally car has begun a testing programme at the Dudenhofen Test Centre in Germany with two examples taking to the track for durability runs "These are being gradually replaced with real data The Corsa-e Rally uses the same 134bhp, 260Nm electric motor and front-wheel-drive setup as its roadgoing sibling (and the Vauxhall Corsa-e model for the UK) The competition version is differentiated by its Torsen front differential It also features three driving modes: Competition gives maximum power for 60km (37 miles) and is intended for use when the car is tackling a timed stage while Rain modifies the car's torque curve for better grip on wet surfaces Eco saves power while driving on road sections between competitive stages Schrott said: "The centre of gravity is low which
