| Real Racing 2 speeds to Mac App Store Posted: 22 Dec 2011 11:11 AM PST Firemint is at it again! These guys are leading the iOS iPhone/iPad + Mac + TV convergence. At the end of 2009, Real Racing GTI gave the VW enthusiast their own racing game on the iPhone. This paralleled the Volkswagen 2010 GTI launch in the USA. Real Racing HD followed on the iPad. In 2010, Real Racing 2 gave us 16 cars, damage, cameras and more. At WWDC 2011, Real Racing 2 HD drops with wireless full screen gaming over AirPlay to your TV. 1080p out via HDMI on the iPad2. Now, Firemint takes Real Racing 2 to the Mac platform allowing you to use your iPhone/iPad as the controller. It works! By using your Wifi network, Cloudcell matches the IPs and pairs the two allowing you to kick back and race. It’s that easy.

| TRG announces Pumpelly, Bertheau team for 2012 Grand-Am Series Posted: 19 Dec 2011 06:30 PM PST The Racer’s Group announced today that two stalwarts from its 2011 Daytona 24 champion GT team. Spencer Pumpelly and Steve Bertheau, will not only return to defend their title but will embark on a full-season effort in the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series in 2012. Pumpelly and Bertheau will form the nucleus of the defending championship team that will take to the high-banks of Daytona before the duo continues the 13-race Grand-Am Rolex Series schedule. The two will compete in a 2012 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, wearing the No. 67 Sargent & Lundy/TRG banner. While TRG’s complete driver lineups for the Daytona 24 have yet to be announced, team owner Kevin Buckler indicated that he is expecting another armada with which to attack America’s 24-hour endurance classic for its historic 50th Anniversary celebration. A year ago, TRG fielded five cars, and Buckler anticipates another similar assault from GT class again for 2012. “I can’t even begin to express how thrilled I am to have a guy like Steve back in the car and back with TRG for 2012. He has been a great driver and a great friend!” team owner Kevin Buckler states. “Watching Steve work so hard on his driving and now be able to come back to tracks for the 2nd time, well this should be good. And to be able to pair him up with a proven sports car veteran like Pumpelly… this is what TRG is all about! The 2012 season is sure to be exciting!” “Winning Daytona last year was one of the biggest thrills of my life and certainly the the highlight of my race career to date,” said Bertheau. “To have the chance to defend with Spencer and a team like TRG is a once in a lifetime moment. It’s a long race and anything can happen, but I know we will be ready. And I am really looking forward to a full-season as well. Who knows what could happen there!” Last season was another landmark year for The Racer’s Group, which yielded 12 professional sports car podiums, including GRAND-AM wins at Daytona and Watkins Glen. The trip to victory lane at one of the world’s most famous endurance races to begin the 2011 season was not unprecedented. TRG has won the prestigious 24-hour American race four times, including once overall from GT class in the now famous Monster Cable Porsche. “Coming back to Daytona with Steve and all of the TRG guys to defend our 2011 victory is really going to be neat.” Pumpelly states. “We made memories last season that we’ll never forget. I can’t wait to find out what 2012 has in store.” “We have been working diligently and feverishly during the off-season to defend a title that has become very important to us and is the pinnacle of endurance racing in the U.S.,” said Buckler. “As further announcements roll out, I think you will see how serious we are about winning this race in this very historic year.” The No. 67 Sargent & Lundy/TRG Porsche 911 GT3 Cup will begin preparation for its defense at the January 6-8 “Roar Before the 24″ event at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida.

| Volkswagen returns to Super Bowl XLVI Posted: 19 Dec 2011 05:26 PM PST Volkswagen of America, Inc. announced today it will advertise during the Super Bowl® for the third consecutive year. Following the success of last year’s two 30- second spots, Volkswagen will premiere one 60-second spot at the beginning of the third quarter of Super Bowl XLVI. The spot will feature the all-new Beetle, which arrived in dealerships in September. The 2012 Beetle was teased as a silhouette in last year’s advertisement, but the iconic redesign is now ready for its Super Bowl close-up. “Volkswagen is excited to showcase the all-new 2012 Beetle on football’s biggest stage. The Super Bowl is the perfect platform to feature the bold, dynamic, and sportiest Beetle ever made,” said Tim Mahoney, Chief Product and Marketing Officer, Volkswagen of America, Inc. Volkswagen enjoyed unprecedented success after last year’s Super Bowl spots, “The Force” and “Black Beetle”. “The Force”, which featured the 2012 Passat and mini Darth Vader, quickly became a pop culture phenomenon when it debuted online before the Super Bowl. It was voted the Number One ad of the year by ADWEEK and continues to be a hit with consumers, racking up more than 45 million views on YouTube. The overwhelming attention from the commercial piqued interest in the 2012 Passat months before it hit the market. This ensured that the car entered the market with momentum, with more sales in its first two months than the last Passat model sold in all of 2010. “Black Beetle” teased the all-new Beetle’s muscular shape, generating strong interest for the newly redesigned car months before it hit dealerships. The 2012 Beetle is available in two forms: stylish Beetle and sporty Beetle Turbo. All models offer standard technology features such as Bluetooth® and an iPod® interface, heatable front seats, and a ‘kaeferfach’ secondary glovebox. More details about the 2012 Volkswagen Super Bowl ad will follow, but expect a fully integrated digital, social media, and grassroots campaign to accompany the spot that will run during one of TV’s most-watched events.

| Audi R8 LMS Cup series for China in 2012 Posted: 18 Dec 2011 08:13 PM PST Audi will be permanently present in the world's largest sales market in motorsport as well. Starting in 2012, the Audi R8 LMS Cup as an exclusive one-make racing series will underscore the company's leading position in the premium segment in China. Audi Sport customer racing China will be responsible for the operational activities. In 2012, Audi is setting a milestone in China's still young motorsport tradition. The world's first exclusive one-make cup for the Audi R8 LMS will be held in the fast-growing Chinese market. In October, with a growth rate of 61.7 percent compared to the same period of the prior year, Audi experienced a new record month in China. The next top performance followed in November, reflecting a 68.8 percent increase compared to the same prior-year month. The R8 LMS GT3 race car with a power output of 411 kW (560 HP) will be competing at five events, including the internationally renowned circuits at Shanghai and Zhuhai, starting in the second quarter of 2012. Plans are for 16 vehicles of Audi's customer sport model to be fielded in the one-make cup. The cars correspond to the GT3 version that has scored more than 100 international victories and 13 titles and feature the new Audi PS 1 safety seat as factory-supplied equipment. “The Audi R8 LMS Cup puts our motorsport activities in China on a permanent basis," says Rene Koneberg, Head of Audi Sport customer racing China. “Audi was a pioneer in the premium vehicle market in China. Now we want to give motor racing in this country a similar impulse." Audi Sport customer racing China will be responsible for organizing the one-make cup. This new structure experienced an extremely impressive debut. At the finale of the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup (ILMC) at Zhuhai the race team celebrated a one-two victory in the GTC class with the Audi R8 LMS. A week later, at the Macau GT Cup, Edoardo Mortara won an extremely challenging city street race in an Audi R8 LMS fielded by the team. Audi through its Audi race experience China opens up the opportunity to contest races in professional conditions to the motorsport enthusiasts among its customers. The complete packages available to gentlemen drivers include everything a racer needs, from license training and the ready-to-run race car through to the organizational structure. Audi expects to deliver more than 300,000 vehicles in China in fiscal year 2011. The company is the market leader in the premium segment. “China has meanwhile become a kind of second home to Audi," says Dr. Dietmar Voggenreiter, Managing Director of Audi China. “By entering motorsport we aim to start proving 'Vorsprung durch Technik' on the race tracks of this dynamic country as well." - Audi Sport Related posts: Audi R8 LMS Cup series for China in 2012
