masterlist.

2020

There have been a lot of new protocols to follow. Social distancing. Wearing face masks. Races being rescheduled. Australia, China, Netherlands, Monaco, Azerbaijan, Canada, and France are canceled. Vietnam is postponed. The first race of the season takes place in the Red Bull Ring in Austria and Max gets a fucking DNF.

After exchanging Instagram accounts in December, Max has spent a normal amount of time stalking your feed. That's what you do when you’re trapped inside your apartment alone because of a global health crisis, you explore the online world.

It seems like you’ve been operating the account since your university days and a lot of your posts show a side of you that’s different from the manager he knows. He learns that you play billiards competitively. You've even reached an Australian tournament. He learns that you watch NASCAR and motocross and drift racing. He learns that you know how to drive a firetruck. He learns that you like partying in LA and you took up volunteer work in the LA fire brigade around your sophomore year. He learns that you’re particularly fond of taking pictures of the skies at different times of the day and the things you’re studying. He notices that you only post group selfies or low angle blurry selfies of you. You don't take pretty pictures of just you.

The oldest post is a photo of you offering a middle finger while smiling and filling up the gas tank of a truck. You're also wearing a red sweatshirt with the letters USC written at the front and skinny ripped jeans. If you swipe right, the next photo shows a picture of you and your group of friends writing on papers on the hood of the truck. Max sees numbers and scratches and crossed out sketches. Max notices a canned beer on your other hand while you press down on your scientific calculator buttons and shakes his head. You do not change.

The latest post is a photo dump of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in 2019. A picture of the aerial show, grainy zoomed in pictures of the garage, selfies with the mechanics, a bathroom mirror selfie, and a blurry picture of a beer in your hand from the after party. He presses like in every post, latest to the oldest.

you: fucking stalker

max: fuck you

max: *sent a photo*

max: nice teeth by the way

you: i hate you

you: *sent a photo*

you: ya think im the only one who looks ugly with braces?

Since then, Max’s relationship with you has considerably improved. The two of you spend a lot of nights dm-ing each other on Instagram and sending each other reels.

max: SOS

you: ??

max: I THINK THE STOVE IS ON FIRE

you: the stove is supposed to have fire

max: ITS ON FIRE

You and Max sit on the floor, back against the kitchen counter, chest heaving in quick breaths, shoulders bumping against each other. You hold the fire extinguisher close to your chest and your eyes are closed and your lips are parted a little. Max observes your side profile.

You're not a categorically attractive woman. But with the way the sun rays enter Max’s kitchen window and hit your face at all the right angles, you look like someone worth missing a sunset over. Max allows himself to stare and mentally tries to convince himself that this is a very normal amount of staring at one’s manager slash friend.

He’s crossing the line that divides friendship and something unnamed.

“Do you need me to call maintenance so we can get your stove replaced?”

Max nods.

“Yes please.”

You post a new picture on Instagram after a long period of dryness. Max gets a notification. He checks it out.

The caption reads: meet my full time dog and part time boyfriend

The picture is blurry and grainy but Max can make out your face perfectly. There’s a billiard table. Max sees a person in the background. A man. He's wearing a Williams shirt.

Is that a racer? Max immediately thinks of Nicholas Latifi. You and him are around the same age. But the blurry man in the picture doesn't look like Nicholas. The hair color and the build is different. George, maybe? He’s a year younger than Max. Do you prefer your men younger? Scratch that. That’s impossible. Max knows he has a girlfriend named Carmel or Carmen or something.

max: you have a boyfriend

you: youre fast

max: when did this happen?

you: uh

you: earlier?

Max resists the urge to hurl his phone across the room.

max: details [name]

max: i need details

you: nuh uh kid you havent unlocked that level of friendship yet

you: that's friendship level 8 ur still on level 6

max: i will hunt you down and force you to tell me

max: and don't call me kid i'm one year younger than you

you: id like to see you try

max: i think u forgot im the one who gave you the apartment where u live rn

You introduce Leo to Max a month later.

Leo is a British brunette guy with a face that one would consider mid in Europe but a ten in the US. He is one of the Williams mechanics. You mention that he used to do karting as a kid and even went up to F3 but he’s decided to discontinue his racing career because he thinks engineering and the technical aspects of a formula car is far more interesting than racing.

He’s basically the complete opposite of Max.

He’s a good guy, Max can tell. He’s well-mannered, he’s calm, he knows how to treat you right. Above all else, he makes you the happiest. You have the most genuine and beautiful smile on your face when he comes into your view.

He also handles your relationship very maturely. He doesn't demand. He understands that you work for different racing teams with different jobs and that means different priorities.

The weekly IG posts are also too cute. It looks like it came out of a Pinterest board.

Max will never tell you that he spends a good hour every time you post something with Leo in it like an obsessive freak. He tries to make sense of the feeling in his chest. Something green. Something ugly. Something he can't name.

Max should be happy that you found a guy as great as Leo. But he cannot, for the life of him, be fully happy for you. He doesn't know why.

“PR told me that you received a dinner invite from Kelly Piquet,” you state, sitting down on the empty chair across from him and putting your packed lunch on the table. You carefully lay the folded clothes on the other chair. Max deduces they will be the ones he’ll be wearing for the interview scheduled in about two hours. You already sent him the list of questions in his email but he hasn't opened them yet.

“Yeah,” Max says after swallowing. “She’s been sending invites since two months ago.”

“And you left her on seen?”

Max scoffs, “I didn't leave her on seen. I just…well, I saw them late and declined them politely.”

He knows Kelly Piquet. He’s aware of the history she shared with former Red Bull Racing now Toro Rosso driver, Daniil Kvyat. Max also knows she’s the daughter of Nelson Piquet, retired Formula One champion. He thinks it's rude to take the guy’s ex-girlfriend after he’s taken his seat in Red Bull.

“She’s interested in you,” you claim, opening the tupperware and quickly saying grace before digging in.

Max is not good with dealing with women. Twenty-three years old and he’s still girlfriend-less. But he knows how to recognize people who are interested in him. A significant number of women have tried their chances with him since he began racing professionally and he may have used you as some sort of getaway driver to get him out of all the awkward situations where he has to deal with women who are interested in him.

You have a very scary resting bitch face if you try hard enough. Its efficiency in scaring off people is proven to be, well, efficient.

“Yeah, I suppose.”

“Are you interested in her?” you question.

Max thinks about it. Really thinks about it.

“Do you think it’ll be good if I get a girlfriend?” he throws you a question instead of an answer.

“You're twenty-three, man. It's about time you start doin’ somethin’ about your empty dating history.”

Max nose scrunches but doesn't say anything because it's the truth. His dating history is hilariously empty.

“What’s your opinion of Kelly?”

“Uh, cool pussy, I guess. Don't really care.”

Max rolls his eyes, “You’re so crude.”

You shrug uncaringly.

“But I don't mind who you wanna date, man. I mean, it's your life. Date who you wanna date. Live the life you wanna live. All the jazz and shedazzle.”

Max accepts the dinner invite.

The 2020 season ends with Hamilton standing at the top, officially becoming a seven-time world champion. Bottas is behind him. Verstappen, like 2019, still stands in third place. Max vows 2020 will be the last year Hamilton becomes a world champion. The team doesn't hold a big afterparty like it usually does and Max flies home to Monaco immediately.

It's been months since he's started seeing Kelly and the woman is pleasant company. Her daughter, Penelope, is the most adorable human being that ever stepped on Earth. Max loves the little bean with all his heart and he himself is surprised that he’s capable of loving a little human this much. He’s practically convinced that he’ll be a shitty father one day. He does not have a good model figure to look up to when it comes to fatherhood.

Little P, Max learns, is obsessed with crocheted things. Max sees her little bags and little hats—all crocheted. Kelly says she pays their housekeeper to make things for little Penelope because she likes them so much.

Max decides he wants to learn how to crochet. He buys the material and learns through hundreds of Youtube videos. His first masterpiece is a bag. It's white and light orange. He shows it to his mum, who questions how on Earth did her son take an interest in a hobby other than racing or anything car-related. Despite that, she compliments it and Max feels confident that you’ll like it, too, now that he’s gotten his mother’s approval.

He finishes making it by the eighteenth day of December and he calls you, hoping he has the chance to give it before you fly down to Texas for the off-season. But you already left Monaco, just the day before and are now spending the first few weeks of the break in New Zealand with Leo.

“So it's serious?” Max asks you over the phone. He stares at the dark sky in Belgium. There's no stars tonight. Only the moon and it’s looking down at him like it's mocking him. Max wonders what the sky looks like in New Zealand right now.

“Of course,” you say.

“Well then, enjoy the holidays.”

“You, too, man.”

The call ends.

2021

Max sees you enter the Red Bull hospitality. The first thing he notices is that your shoes are brand new. Same model—the black and gold YSL Opyum heels, yes he knows the name because he searched it on Google—but brand new. Your bag is also brand new and it’s not the old cream-colored tote bag with peach prints. It's a cream-colored tote bag with Van Gogh’s painting—the Starry Night—printed at the front. You show it to Max excitedly and tell him that it's from Leo, the bag and the shoes, and Max fakes a smile the whole time. When he returns to his room in the evening, he throws the crochet bag he made over December in the trash bin. Kelly sees it but she doesn't question it.

“PR suggests that you film a Tiktok.”

Max groans, throwing his head back and rolling his eyes to the back of his head.

“Tell them no.”

“Come on, it’ll be fun,” you encourage him, shaking his shoulders. “There's a lot of dance trends right now.”

“I said no, [Name].”

“Max.”

You throw your hands on your waist, looking at him pointedly with your lips pursed. Max returns the stare.

He gives up after five seconds.

“Fine.”

You huff in triumph.

“But you’re doing it with me,” Max bargains.

“Oh come on,” you throw your hands in the air.

“Now you know how it feels. Tell PR that I’m not going to film a Tiktok unless you film it with me,” Max smiles cheekily.

You're not going to film a Tiktok video with him. He knows you hate filming yourself and posting it for the public. There's a reason why you avoided cameras as if it’s the sun and you're a vampire and had all your social media accounts in private.

You pull an unexpected move and you nod your head.

“Fine.”

Max’s smile drops.

You film a Tiktok using Red Bull Racing’s official Tiktok account. A simple dance. Max does not know the title. The steps are simple and it's easy to memorize. He believes he can do this fairly easily. You don't look like you’re having fun while memorizing the dance steps but you're not overly struggling.

You film the video in three takes. When Max sees the final outcome, he cringes. His long limbs look awkward as he performs the steps despite thinking that he’s doing fine while filming it. You, on the other hand, look fine.

You look good while dancing actually. There’s a certain grace that accompanied your movements.

“You dance good,” Max comments.

“It’s the Latina in me,” you claim, raising your chin a little.

Max snorts.

You show the draft video to the PR team. Without hesitation, they scratched it.

“Why?” Max asks, brows furrowing.

“Apparently, they're too tired releasing statements that we’re not dating. They're afraid that the Tiktok video would bring back our dating rumors,” you roll your eyes. “They’ve decided to just make you do a Tiktok filter game.”

Max does the one filter where he has to solve the simple math equations projected on the screen. He has to tilt his head to the side where the right answer is placed and he needs to do it quickly.

Max is not bad at Mathematics. He’s not good at it either. He’ll say that he’s just average at it like every human being on Earth.

You sit beside him, barking him the answers before his brain can even process and perform the required operations.

“60 points. That's not good enough,” he says.

You nod, “Damn right. You're not tilting your head to the right answer fast enough.”

“Maybe you're not giving the answers quick enough.”

The video gets more than ten takes. The two of you don't stop until you get the perfect score.

Monza is a disaster. To summarize: the 53-lap race is won by Daniel Ricciardo, who has now moved to McLaren. He capitalizes on a good front-row start and the crash between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton to take the race lead. Lando, Daniel’s teammate comes in second with Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas in third. Max and Lewis—DNF.

Max doesn't remember the last time he’s been that angry and the anger doubles when he sees the seven-time world champion celebrate on the tracks. Max then decides that he’s going to be more risky, especially now that he knows how safe the car is. Max is willing to risk his life for number one.

Max lies in the medical bay and he hears voices outside. Too many voices. He’ll appreciate it greatly if the voices disappear. He's too angry right now that the noise of the outside world is too much.

“Max?”

The voices disappear and it's only you he can see, he can hear, he can feel. You're everything.

You said it. His name. It sounds even better than he imagined.

“[Name].”

After making sure he’s okay, you tell Max that you wish to go to Danny and congratulate him for winning. Max grabs your hand, unwilling to let go.

“You're not his manager anymore,” Max reminds you. “You're mine.”

He’s very much aware that he sounds like a child who refuses to let his older brother borrow his favorite toy but he cannot find himself to care. Screw Daniel.

You give him a long look but follows his demands anyway, “We’re gonna congratulate him later whether you like it or not. He’s our friend and he just got P1. We’re gonna be happy for him 'cuz that's what friends do. I’ll drag your ass to his hotel room if I have to.”

Jos Verstappen is not happy. When has he ever been happy with Max anyway? He calls Max after the Monza race and proceeds to yell because that’s all he ever does with Max. He yells. Max is embarrassed that he’s twenty-three and he’s still getting yelled at by his own father.

“Your Dad’s an asshole,” you stated after he ends the call. Max knows you heard his father’s voice even though he has not put the call on loudspeaker.

“Don't talk to my Dad like that,” he reprimands, though not unkindly. “But yeah, he is.”

You snort, “You okay?”

Max lets out a shaky breath, nodding weakly.

"Yeah, I'm fine. You would think that after all this time I would get used to it but I don't know. It still makes me feel so uncomfortable and like I'm doing everything wrong even though I've been doing that for such a long time now and I've achieved so many things he asked for."

Your gaze softens and Max mentally begs that you stop looking at him like that. He does not want your pity. Pity is for the weak. Max is not weak.

You open your arms, “Rein it in, big guy.”

“What are you doing?”

“You need a hug.”

Max hesitates but he invites himself to your arms anyway. He allows himself to melt. In your arms, he feels like he's home and that he's good enough.

The breakup happens two race weekends later. Max is not dumb nor is he so emotionally indifferent that he cannot sense if a person is going through a breakup especially if that person is someone so close to him. He already knows there’s something wrong and he knows exactly what’s wrong and yet he still asks, “What's wrong?”

“Nothin’,” you say a little too quickly as if you already know that Max is going to ask the question.

“[Name],” his fingers circle around your wrist. “It's not nothing. Your eyes are red. Have you been crying?”

He wants you to open up. He wants you to say something. He wants you to share the heartache you carry so it won't feel heavy on your shoulders. He wants to be someone who’ll carry your problems with you when the world feels too big and you too small.

You sigh shakily, forcing a polite smile. Your hand comes up to squish Max’s cheek in between your palms and Max’s brows rise slightly at the action. Your hands feel cold and they’re trembling slightly and Max wants to point it out, but he sees how your lips wobble and his mind just blanks, “It's not important. You only have one thing to think about and that is to win. You hear me?”

Max considers marching to the Williams Racing livery and demanding for Leo Stark but he chooses not to. You won't want him to, anyway.

Max never realizes how horrifying blood is until he sees it dripping down the side of your head. He watches as your face changes from shock to realization to absolute anger. It’s like watching you transform from human to a rabid animal who wants to shed blood. At first, he tries to pull you away and calm you down. When he sees the girl’s boyfriend appear, Max joins the fight. No man is allowed to hit you. Not on his watch.

The higher-ups are not the happiest when they learn of what happened. The PR team is having a field day as well. Someone captured the event in video and posted it online. Max has been given a script for the video he’ll have to do to save his image but it’s written differently. Different in a way that the way the words are arranged feels odd to him unlike the way you write your scripts for Max. You write the scripts as if Max is the one who writes them. You write the script in a way Max will write them. Because you know him enough to know what kind of words he wants to use and how he’ll phrase things. You choose words that are easy on his tongue and you structure the sentences so that he can memorize them easily.

Helmut is the one who says, “She should leave the team.”

“If you fire her, I’m leaving,” Max decides.

Christian narrows his eyes at him, “You won't dare.”

“Try me,” he challenges. “I am willing to pay millions to leave if she leaves.”

The other teams want him, Max knows. They know he’s rising to stardom, a racer who can stand equal to Lewis Hamilton in the right time. Red Bull is too afraid of spitting out their star now. Not when Max is already giving Lewis Hamilton a big run for his money this year. Not when Max just showed the world that he’s capable of more than just being third place.

The wretched Hamilton fan decides to sue and Max calls upon his mother’s help to find the best lawyers to fight for you. Sophie willingly helps him.

Max is going to protect you, like you always do to him.

[el-cabroncito]

I was curious so i'm doing a deep dive on Marc's career the beginning of his world championship career to 2019 (I would do it to now but I'm going to make his post 2020 injury career as it's own series cause it feels like a different chapter in his career and I also think i'll need a bit more time to do that one cause it'll be more challenging to research and read all the articles about what Marc went through at that time. I'll also probably do a seperate post about his career before the world championships, so the spanish championship and i'll see if i can find anything on his enduro and motocross years) I think I'm going to make this multiple posts due to the photo limits as i want to include pictures of what i'm talking about (it will probably be 2008/09 together and then each season after that will be its own thing and maybe even multiple posts for each year as i want to do a deepdive into each race.)

The Deep Dive into Marc Marquez career - statistics, podiums, wins, injuries and world championships (Part 1)

125cc Career (Part 1)

2008

Marc joined the world championship in 2008 at the age of 15 racing for the Red Bull KTM team, he had to withdraw from the first 2 races of the season due to a right arm fracture that he sustained during the pre season also during a TNT interview from 2014 with Marc where Gavin Emmett is a guest host he says Marc showed up to the paddock for the first time and had two broken ankles. His first race was in Portugal where he came 18th. He scored his first every world championship points at the next race in China finishing 12th. In his 6th race he got his first podium, making him at the time the youngest person to get on a podium in the world championship. In the remaining 7 of 9 races of that season Marc DNF'd 3 times and finished in the points 4 times. He had to withdraw from the final 2 races of the season due to an injury caused by a crash in practice at Sepang (It's a cursed track I swear). This accident caused both his legs to be trapped between the back wheel of his bike and the swingarm, this resulted in a dislocation of the cartilage of his right tibia, he had to go back to Spain for surgery. Despite 4 withdrawals, 4 DNF's and 2 non point scoring races Marc finished 13th in the standings with 63 points.

2009

In his second year in the 125 class Marc started the season off in Qatar with a DNF, it was then onto Japan were he finished 5th, he then got his second career podium at the Jerez GP. Marc DNF'd 4 times in 2009 (one of them being Germany, that didn't happen again until 2023 were he DNS), he had 2 non points scoring races. His highest non podium finish was 4th and his lowest was 17th. He also became the youngest pole sitter in the class at the age of 16 years and 68 days. Marc finished this year in 8th with 94 points.

Explanation for the "I'm a creep im a weirdo but i do belong here" pretry please?

(text posts here) sachsenring 2010!! this is valentino's first race back from his leg break, a return that is very much a head of schedule and he's still on crutches off the bike for the first couple of races back. his absence has brought a bit of a downturn in vibes in his relationships with both jorge and casey separately, which... in both cases is kindaaa mutual. infamously jorge made the rather misguided choice to show up to the mugello race with his "everybody can feel pain, but not everybody can be a legend" placard and then to the podium with a bright yellow vr46 shirt. now, whether you see this as justified or not, I think it's fair to say that a lot of people doubted the sincerity of this gesture, given jorge's main title rival had essentially been taken out of the picture AND given the context of the internal yamaha power struggle. and the placard, rightly or wrongly... well, it was seen as kinda tacky. cringe

obviously jorge wasn't really going to be particularly upset that valentino had fucked his title bit, which is where the accusations of insincerity came from. he did also imply shortly after the race that valentino's practise crash came because of the pressure jorge was putting him under in the championship (x):

(fwiw, there may have been some truth to that - the crash was probably caused both by his tyres having cooled off too much when he let another rider by who was searching for a tow... and how hard he was pushing. ofc the context in that season is that valentino was already struggling with his title defence in large part because of the shoulder he injured in a motocross accident after the first race of the season, so he did very much need to take advantage of his beloved mugello track. see here for more context)

which, again. did damage the perception of jorge's sincerity. as the interview responses hint at, jorge probably did have somewhat complicated feelings about valentino's absence... given jorge's form and valentino's shoulder injury (which ended up affecting valentino well into 2011, remember casey tastefully alluding to it after jerez), you'd have to say that jorge would have been the favourite anyway that season. then again, valentino did his best to hide how bad the shoulder injury really was, only admitting a lot later that he was worried it might be career-ending when it stubbornly refused to heal - at this point in the season, jorge still very much stood to benefit from valentino's absence. but the problem was that this absence inevitably would be used to discredit jorge's title, in the same way (if not quite to the same extent) people talk about the post-2019 titles. obviously, this is massively unfair, none of these titles come with asterisks - but that's just how the discourse goes. and, well, jorge will have been aware of that pretty much immediately. AND he was still processing how much his title hopes had changed! even an impaired valentino is dangerous, and jorge had already experienced last year how the momentum could be wrenched away from him. post-2010 jorge has committed to the line that he was leading the championship anyway when valentino crashed, but in the immediate aftermath he was still a bit more conflicted

this is only barely relevant, but as ever I do have to shoehorn in the jorge/dovi situation and bring back dovi's comments, bitchy in a wonderfully understated way, about jorge after that race:

"I don't believe that"

whereas casey... well, look, casey was just in a horrendous mood for much of early 2010. he was thoroughly sick of ducati, had basically already finalised things with honda though that was still kept quiet for a fairly long time - and not only was he disenchanted with the ducati management, but the bike had now progressed to being 'unrideable even for casey stoner' levels of shit. he crashes out of a comfortable lead at his beloved qatar circuit, and after that he just about manages to keep his results... respectable, but obviously a long way away from what he'd like

also, idk man, you can just tell when he's kind of On One, where he's just consistently tetchy in his interview responses and in the mood to have a swipe at his competitors. memorably he said at silverstone how much nicer things were without valentino's fans, which is very funny but also kind of a wild thing to say about your rival who's out with a broken leg. (casey always a bit weird about his rivals' injuries!!) it also represented a bit of an escalation in the rhetoric of that particular rivalry, which really had been Fine more often than not in the post-laguna period. to some extent, casey truly had been sitting on his grievances for years - and as the power balance of that particular rivalry shifted, he increasingly took advantage of that to openly have a go at valentino. but also, he really was just pretty ill-tempered. like I'm sorry but why is dani catching strays like this (also from silverstone)

"one crash, and dani gets a little bit nervous; two crashes is basically game over for the weekend" ???????? jesus christ casey

but again I cannot stress enough how this is just how basically every casey response read from this time period. like just one more example, this from catalunya --

-- he's not happy. he knows he's off to honda so he'll be fine!! but on a day-to-day level, the fuse is very short

so idk man, I just find it a charming weekend. like the vibes are so. blehhhh. it's weird vibes!! remember, this is what valentino said in october about his relationships with casey and jorge:

the perception kinda was that casey and jorge finally gathered up the courage to have a go at valentino when he got injured, which isn't COMPLETELY fair but also isn't entirely wrong. and valentino himself is quite bullish and frustrated and wants to prove a point with his return. it leads to that lovely little battle for p3 with casey at the sachsenring that casey JUST clinches, after which of COURSE they're all nice and lovely to each other on the track (see here from the last time I started going on about sachsenring 2010), including that photo where it looks like valentino is perilously close to poking casey's eye out:

cute

and THEN they have a bit of a go at each other in the press, with valentino's whole 'well EYE don't have a problem with how casey rode but if I had ridden like that then CASEY would have had a problem with it' and casey's thing about how everybody was making too big a deal about valentino's return from injury and his main problem will have just been losing some muscle ("everybody's going on like he's a crippled hero"). which I feel like kinda set the baseline for general bitchiness for the next two and a half years. the next race of course was laguna where casey and vale were once again perfectly lovely to each other in parc fermé when they both made the podium behind jorge. AND of course that is an all time great podium because it's the one where they accidentally play the italian anthem rather than the spanish one

look at casey's grin :))

All-Terrain Vehicle Market Size, Share, Growth and Industry Trends, 2030

The global all-terrain vehicle market size is expected to reach USD 6.01 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 3.8% from 2023 to 2030, as per a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The development of off-road terrains, trails, and recreational parks is projected to boost the demand for All-terrain Vehicles (ATVs) by 2030. Moreover, governments’ initiatives to enhance tourism and recreational activities have supported the sales of ATVs. For instance, the Travel Management & Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Program announced by the U.S. Forest Service aims to increase the awareness and popularity of trails in North America.

Factors such as the growing popularity of off-road racing events and increased advertising have fueled the demand for ATVs across the globe. For instance, in January 2019, the Desert Series Pro ATV tournament involved ATV enthusiasts and many off-road vehicles which contributed to the adoption of ATVs. Additionally, growth in investments from sponsors is anticipated to boost the growth of the market by 2030.

Over the past few years, economic growth in developing economies, such as India and China, has resulted in higher disposable incomes and purchasing power of individuals, creating more spending capacity. This, in turn, supports the travel and tourism industry. As per the data published by the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), the global tourism sector grew by 3.9% in 2018. The development of the tourism sector has led to a significant increase in recreational activities, thereby driving the demand for ATVs.

Application Insights

The recreational segment held the largest revenue share of 65.0% in 2022. The high demand for ATVs for recreational purposes can be attributed to the increasing number of hiking and camping activities. Furthermore, government initiatives to promote ATVs, such as making grants available to individuals engaged in rough terrain and off-road activities, are expected to propel the growth of the market over the forecast period.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 48.5% in 2022. The adoption of ATVs witnessed a considerable increase in the U.S. and Canada owing to various factors, such as the higher disposable income of residents, the developed economy, government regulations regarding ATVs, and upcoming electric vehicle projects. The region has numerous off-road terrain trails and parks such as Northwest Off-Highway Vehicle Park, Rocky Ridge Ranch, and River Valley Motocross as these off-road terrain trails and parks attract many tourists, thereby driving the growth of the market.

Engine Type Insights

The 400 - 800cc segment accounted for the largest revenue share of 48.2% in 2022. The growth can be attributed to the growing popularity of these vehicles for utility activities. For instance, ATVs are built with a considerable amount of storage space and are often used for hauling supplies and equipment. Government organizations are adopting these vehicles for search and rescue operations and monitoring wild and forest areas. Prominent players in the market are launching 400cc-800cc ATVs to cater to a broader range of users and discover new application areas.

Jeffrey McGuane: Recentering Fox Racing as an Integrated Marketplace Brand for Performance and Lifestyle Supporting the Riders’ Community

Did you know that riders need proper and complete riding gear and apparel? Yes, be it for cyclists, mountain bikers, or motocross athletes and enthusiasts, riders need to be fully equipped with specifically designed gear, accessories, and clothing and apparel to comfortably ride, shield, and protect themselves from possible accidents and injuries. 

Motocross or MX sports is an off-road motorcycling sport that requires its riders to ride on rough courses that are uneven like gravel, sandy, or muddy. This is a dangerous sport and only professional riders are seen indulging and participating in such off-road course rides. Therefore the need for equipping riders with specifically designed gear and the appropriate clothing apparel is important for performance and protection. 

Keeping in mind the imperativeness of requiring appropriate gear and clothing apparel for cyclists, mountain riders, motocross athletes, and enthusiasts to be equipped with during their performances, in this article we will be sharing insights into a company established in California, USA, which specializes in offering the motocross community with an integrated retail marketplace for purchasing biking gear and apparel. 

 Founded by Geoff Fox in 1974, Fox Racing – a company and brand that was initially a small distribution business for European motocross parts and accessories, became a manufacturing retailer for high-performance suspension and engine parts for professional racers. With the current CEO’s leadership and management – Jeffrey McGuane is recentering Fox Racing as an integrated marketplace supporting and driving the Motocross Team, as well as opening doors for gear and clothing apparel for its riders and living by its commitment to supporting the enthusiastic riders’ community. 

The Game-Changing CEO Paving the Way for an Integrated Marketplace at Fox Racing:

The man who took the bat and chose to hit a home run has successfully been paving the way for Motocross riders and the enthusiastic riders’ community since his succession as CEO. Jeffrey McGuane is the current Chief Executive Officer leading and managing Fox Racing since 2019. 

Fox Racing (currently known as Fox Head since 2006) underwent brand recentering of its operations and services provided, after realizing the market capabilities and potentialities that the company could successfully reach. With Jeffrey’s leadership and management, Fox Racing was recentered to really “start committing to that premium position of a performance brand”. 

When the brand expanded to include retailing gear and clothing apparel for riders and athletes, apart from their supporting and driving the Motocross Team or the Moto-X Fox, people were getting confused as to what exactly Fox Racing leaned more on – performance-focused or lifestyle-focused. Addressing this, Jeffrey says “…we put the rider at the center of everything we do. We call it an integrated marketplace”.

He further explained that the integrated marketplace “serves the rider when, where, and how they want, and we build and support every channel and every touchpoint with the brand to over-deliver against the expectations of our rider – our consumer”. With this vision and aim to recreate Fox Racing while maintaining its grassroots and heritage spirit, Jeffrey drives with a mission to “Equip the rider from head-to-toe and Inspire the rider by creating and establishing an emotional bond between the brand and the sport”. 

About Fox Racing:

Featuring a bold and classy image of a fox’s head, the Fox Racing company (now, Fox Head) was initially started as a small distribution business for European motocross parts and accessories by its founder Geoff Fox, in 1974. Established in Irvine, in the Orange County of California, USA, the company began to manufacture high-performance suspension and engine parts for professional racers just two years later. 

Recognized as a national and global leader in Motocross, the realignment of company operations, products, and customer services with an integration of a combined innovative, styled, authentic, and heritage-filled spirit – has Fox Racing providing the people with a retail marketplace for premium gear and clothing apparel for motocross riders, competitive athletes, and the enthusiastic riders’ community. 

From bestsellers to limited edition collections, the Gear retailed for Mountain Bikers and Motocross Athletes are – Helmets, Shoes, Boots, Pants, Jackets, Jerseys, Shorts, protection, Gloves, Goggles, and Base Layers. In the Clothing & Apparel category, the company retails – Sweatshirts, Pants, Jackets, Shirts, Shorts, and Hats, and in the Accessories category, retails – backpacks and gear bags, hydration packs, water bottles, socks, stickers, and goggles accessories. 

For the last 50 years now, Fox Racing and its leaders, employees, and stakeholders have continued to honor their heritage in the Motocross sport while also looking ahead into the future to expand its brand’s operations and services aligning themselves with market trends, to empower the present and the next generations to push boundaries and break walls. “Change” is the only constant factor at Fox Racing and they commit to approach and forge through this era with technical innovation, appetite, and pursuit.

"Price llevando años de experiencia en off-road al Dakar en 2024" - ¿Has escuchado lo último sobre el rally Dakar? Toby Price, el doble campeón del Dakar, está llevando su vasta experiencia en carreras todoterreno al escenario más grande del mundo... ¡y sí, estoy hablando de Dakar 2024! Quizás recuerdas a Price de sus días en el motocross. Después de ganar varios títulos australianos y competir en el campeonato de supercross de Estados Unidos, Price hizo de las carreras todoterreno su nuevo hogar. Y bueno, ¡veamos los hechos! Sus logros son asombrosos, incluyendo sus triunfos en la Finke Desert Race cinco veces, un récord para el evento. Pero eso no es todo, su debut en el Dakar en 2015 lo vio terminar tercero... ¡impresionante! A lo largo de su carrera, Price ha demostrado su habilidad para sobresalir en carreras de resistencia de larga distancia. Este talento definitivamente será puesto a prueba en Dakar 2024, la prueba del todopoderoso de las carreras de off-road. Con 12 etapas repartidas en dos semanas, la competición es agotadora y está llena de sorpresas en cada vuelta. Curiosamente, Price no se va solo a la desafiante expedición. Va como parte de un formidable equipo de cuatro pilotos de KTM. Y sí, no te preocupes, los chicos de KTM probablemente estén tan emocionados como nosotros, ¿por qué lo digo? Bueno... la marca tiene un impresionante récord de 18 victorias seguidas en el Dakar, y una armada de motocicletas desarrolladas especialmente para estas duras competencias. Precio ha demostrado una y otra vez que tiene la destreza, la resistencia y la sabiduría en la carrera para manejarse bien en el Dakar. De hecho, ha vuelto a casa con la victoria no una sino dos veces, ¡en 2016 y 2019! Pero bueno, ya sabes como es...... rara vez olvidamos las derrotas entre tales glorias, quizá la más dramática fue aquella lesión en el accidente de 2017 que lo dejó fuera de la carrera... pero eso no lo detuvo. Regreso al próximo evento y, volvió con las manos llenas de victoria. Lo que más me intriga es ver cómo Price utilizará su abundante experiencia en off-road para enfrentar la rabia del Dakar. Puedes apostar que estaré atento a informar sobre su progreso y los incansables giros y vueltas de este salvaje paseo en moto. Diría que esta es una de las mejores noticias que podríamos haber recibido para comenzar el año. ¡Espero que estén tan emocionados como yo por el Dakar 2024! #Dakar2024 ¿Estás listo para la aventura? ¡Porque esto va a ponerse salvaje!

A Yamaha megerősíti a kategóriaelső Adventure termékcsaládját, itt a Ténéré 700 Extreme

2019-es bevezetése óta a Ténéré 700 a Yamaha egyik legkelendőbb modelljévé vált. A Yamaha kiemelkedő 690 cm³-es, nagy nyomatékú CP2 motorjával és sokoldalú, prémium felfüggesztési rendszerrel ellátott vázzal felszerelt Ténéré kategóriájának legsikeresebb motorja. A Yamaha mindig igyekszik erős választékot kínálni a vásárlóknak, hogy megfeleljen a különböző életstílusoknak és igényeknek. Így 2024-re a márka kategóriaelső Adventure termékcsaládja tovább erősödik és még változatosabb lesz a Ténéré 700 Extreme bevezetésével. Ténéré 700 Extreme – Hardcore terepmotor erős teljesítménnyel A motor neve mindent elárul – ez egy hardcore terepjáró, amely meghosszabbított, hosszú rugóúttal rendelkező felfüggesztéssel és számos speciális vázelemmel rendelkezik, amelyeket úgy terveztek, hogy tovább fokozzák a minden terephez alkalmas jellemzők lényegét. A kategóriaelső terepjáró kezelhetőség és a nehéz terepen is könnyű mozgékonyság biztosítása érdekében a Ténéré 700 Extreme modellt prémium kategóriás, teljesen állítható KYB-felfüggesztési rendszer jellemzi, 20 mm extra rugóúttal elöl és hátul (a Ténéré 700-hoz képest). Az első felfüggesztés szupersima működése érdekében a villákat tartós Kashima bevonattal látták el, amely segít kiküszöbölni a súrlódást alacsonyabb sebességnél – a villa aranyszínű belső csövének kivitelezése pedig kiemeli a motor minőségének általános érzetét. A teljesen állítható KYB-felfüggesztés a legkülönbözőbb testalkatú és stílusú motorosok számára is hatékonyan beállítható, így a Ténéré 700 Extreme komoly hardcore teljesítményt nyújt. A motocross vagy enduro tapasztalattal rendelkező versenyzőknek célozva, akik a legnagyobb kihívást jelentő terepeken is több teljesítményt szeretnének, ez a legújabb Ténéré izgalmas, új dimenzióba repíti az Adventure kategóriát. Még több kép a Yamaha Ténéré 700 Extreme-ről a galériában A gyárilag könnyű titán lábtartókkal, valamint alumínium hűtővédővel és láncvezetővel felszerelt, magas felszereltségű Adventure motor készen áll arra, hogy a legkülönfélébb extrém körülmények között is bizonyítson. A kétrészes első sárvédő egy színben illeszkedő, magasra szerelt enduro stílusú sárvédőből és egy külön alsó részből áll, amely véd a szennyeződésektől és a törmeléktől – míg a laposabb, egy darabból készült rally ülés gyors és könnyű testsúlyáthelyezést tesz lehetővé. Függőleges 5 hüvelykes TFT kijelző 3 különböző témával rendelkezik, köztük egy Rally Raid roadbook stílusú kijelzővel a hatékony navigációhoz a világ végén is. A Ténéré család ezen izgalmas új tagjának további exkluzív jellemzői közé tartoznak a könnyű, versenystílusú titán lábtartók, amelyek 35%-kal nagyobb felülettel rendelkeznek, így csökkentik a csizma talpára nehezedő nyomást – a legmostohább felületek kezelése érdekében pedig a motor hasmagassága 260 mm-re nőtt. Versenyen már bizonyított teljesítmény és kategóriaelső tartósság A Ténéré kiemelkedő terepjáró teljesítményét a Yamaha gyári versenyzői, Alessandro Botturi és Pol Tarrés emelték ki, akik győzelemre vezették motorjaikat a világ legkeményebb rally versenyein. Miután történelmet írtak a TransAnatolia rally versenyen fantasztikus 1-2. dobogós helyezéssel, Tarrés és Botturi a 2024-es Ténéré 700 Extreme modellt az Italian Motorally Raid TT bajnokság utolsó szakaszán mutatja be, amely október 20-án rendeznek Olbia-ban. A Ténéré 700 Extreme prémium kategóriás, hosszú rugóutas KYB-felfüggesztéssel, kiváló minőségű vázelemekkel és továbbfejlesztett TFT kijelzővel egy figyelemre méltóan jól teljesítő gép, amely a kalandvágyó motorosokat a vadonba és a horizonton túl repíti. Ténéré 700 Extreme: Főbb jellemzők - Teljesen állítható 43 mm-es KYB Kashima bevonatú első villa, 230 mm rugóút (20 mm-rel több, mint a Ténéré 700 esetében) - Teljesen állítható KYB külső tartályos hátsó lengéscsillapító, 220 mm rugóút (20 mm-rel több, mint a Ténéré 700 esetében) 260 mm hasmagasság (20 mm-rel több, mint a Ténéré 700 esetében) - 3 témával ellátott, csatlakoztatott 5 hüvelykes függőleges TFT kijelző Rally Raid roadbook stílusú képernyő opcióval - Bal oldali kapcsolófürt kioldókapcsolóval - Könnyű, nagy tapadású titán lábtartók 35%-kal nagyobb felülettel - Lapos, egy darabból álló ülés 20 mm-es kiegészítő párnázással, ami magasabb, 910 mm-es ülésmagasságot eredményez - Magasra szerelt, színben illeszkedő első sárvédő - Alumínium hálós hűtővédő - Láncvezető - Arany színű, eloxált, alumínium küllős kerekek Ténéré Spirit Experience A Yamaha elkötelezett amellett, hogy minden versenyző lehetőséget kapjon arra, hogy teljes mértékben élvezhesse Ténéré motorját a legkülönbözőbb vezetési helyzetekben. Az exkluzív Ténéré Spirit Experience programmal a Ténéré tulajdonosok csatlakozhatnak a világ leghíresebb Rally Raid eseményeihez a hivatalos Yamaha rally csapattal. A Ténéré World Raid Team menedzsere, Marc Bourgeois által a Yamaha nevében az MBSM cégen keresztül működtetett Ténéré Spirit Experience részvételi lehetősége nyitva áll minden Ténéré tulajdonos előtt, aki szeretné a következő szintre emelni a kalandot, és valódi ízelítőt kapni a Rally Raidből, a verseny intenzív nyomása nélkül, miközben megtapasztalhatja a tájak által nyújtott szépséget is. https://csajokamotoron.hu/itt-a-legjobb-hosszu-tavu-kalandmotor-a-yamahatol-tenere-700-world-raid/ A Ténéré Spirit Experience egy mindent magában foglaló csomag, amelyet úgy terveztek, hogy lefedje a felkészülés, a repülések, a motor szállítása és az ügyfél által választott Rally Raid versenyen való részvétel minden aspektusát. Az esemény előtt minden versenyző eldöntheti, hogy ellátogat-e egy Ténéré Központba, hogy részt vegyen egy motoros vagy navigációs készségeket fejlesztő képzésen. Az MBSM minden egyébről gondoskodik az elejétől a végéig, beleértve a napi esemény előtti eligazításokat, a logisztikát, a technikai segítségnyújtást, a GPS-nyomkövető felszerelését, a reggelit, a vacsorát, valamint a kempinget.

'Thats what I fell in love with' Norris gets his wish with McLaren's special chrome livery for British Grand Prix

Lando Norris says he has been lobbying McLaren CEO Zak Brown to introduce a chrome-inspired livery since the day he joined the team in 2018 – and five years later, he’s finally got his wish. McLaren will run a one-off livery for this weekend’s British Grand Prix at Silverstone, with chrome and grey blended with the team’s traditional papaya in a continuation of their year-long 60th anniversary celebrations. FIRST LOOK: McLaren to run special chrome livery for British Grand Prix It’s a nod to one of their most iconic liveries, which they ran from 2006 to 2014 – with Lewis Hamilton winning the drivers’ World Championship in those colours in 2008, in what was McLaren’s last world title. Speaking at the unveiling of the livery, at a special event at the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking on Monday, Norris revealed that the chrome-coloured McLarens of the late 2000s and early 2010s were his favourite when he watched the sport growing up – and so it was a dream of his to one day line up on the grid in a chrome McLaren. “Probably over 1,300 days or something since I joined McLaren! 2018, it was one of the first things I probably said to [Zak],” said Norris. “I’m pretty sure, from what I remember, it was when he showed me the livery that we were going to have for 2019, and he asked me ‘what would you change on the car?” and I was like ‘the whole thing!’ “Just because for me, walking down the boulevard, as much as I would like the white and bright orange – that livery was amazing – I just think there’s no other car nowadays that is like the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes that we had back then. “That’s what I grew up watching, that’s what I fell in love with in many ways. I feel like I can say it, it inspired me to be a Formula 1 driver. “Before that, I was more into MotoGP, motorbikes, motocross, quad biking. That’s what I loved to begin with and I didn’t really know much about racing. Then I got into watching some Formula 1 and it was Lewis [Hamilton] versus Fernando [Alonso, in 2007] even though they were in the same team, and that’s what I really fell in love with. “I’d say every year I’ve been pestering [Zak] a little bit to want to go back a little bit in that direction. I know it’s only for one race but it’s kind of cool to relive a little bit of what got me into Formula 1 in some ways and also knowing that it’s a very historic part of McLaren. They were very successful then, it’s when Lewis won his first World Championship and things like that. So, it’s very special.” Brown explained the reason why McLaren avoided a full chrome livery – like that used in 2008 – is because “we want to keep our papaya identity”. READ MORE: Norris says McLaren have taken 'a big step forward' after 'surprisingly' good P4 outing in Austria He added: “It’s very important for us that we give a nod to the past, but very much look forward to the future. There’s also [only] so many times you can change the livery into extremes, so what we did in Monaco a couple of years ago, you’re only really allowed to do a couple of times, and then to kind of have variations of your base scheme, you can do a little bit more often. “I think the rules aside, it was important to us; we’re really trying to build our association with papaya much like Ferrari’s red and Mercedes have their colour identity. We get a lot of feedback from the fans who really like the papaya. That’s why we went with the combination.” via Formula 1 News https://www.formula1.com
