Top 10 Highest-Paid Female Footballers In FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 While growing in po[CENSORED]rity and media attention, female soccer players get paid far less than male colleagues. It can be linked to the large sums of money men’s soccer generate through large tournaments, matches, and sponsorships. There have been calls for female soccer players to be paid the same as males, at least at the international level. Regarding national team salaries, countries such as England, Brazil, Australia, and Norway pay both genders of their teams equally. While women’s football world cup earnings are lower than men’s football pay, a few female players earn a lot of revenue. Also, they can perform in the 2023 Women’s World Cup.

The F1 team lost parts in the warehouse due to assembly using an Excel spreadsheet! Looming in the top 5, but sometimes you have to race with one car In the new season it broke down in the first race. “Formula 1” has long become synonymous with the phrase “highest technology in automotive manufacturing and motorsport”: hardly anyone has any doubts that any ideas or things in any daring custom workshop with a dream of supercars were at least considered by team engineers. There, even one new steering wheel costs 50-60 thousand dollars due to its unrealistic complexity! However, F1 has its own gradations of advancement, technology and backwardness. For example, Williams, the worst team of the last decade, has been surviving on the verge of bankruptcy for the last 15 years and has hardly invested in development and technological renewal for two decades. Any development paths were chosen exclusively by the simplest, most well-trodden and understandable ones since the turning point of 2007 - this was perfectly demonstrated by the resume of one of the infrastructure managers of the current Alpin, drowning in endless restructuring, Mark Everest: in 2017, for ArsTechinca, he recalled the moment of a decisive and key transition to virtual simulators instead of focusing only on wind tunnels. “Right now we have a lot of restrictions. In 2007, everything was different: no prohibitions on the power of supercomputers and computational fluid dynamics CFD (“virtual wind tunnel”), on the time of use, on the number of runs, on shifts and hours in wind tunnels... We had three shifts, we blew parts 24/7. And we got to the point where teams were choosing a method to expand the work: investing in even more complex supercomputers or building a second wind tunnel. We have chosen the CFD route with a plan to double capacity every year. "Williams built the second wind tunnel." The aerodynamic department sagged, the discrepancy between the correlation of the simulator and real data accumulated as the regulations became more complex, and as a result, the cars turned out to be fundamentally simple by F1 standards and not very promising. Only powerful engines (with luck), the powerful work of the racing team with the settings and the heroism of the pilots helped drag the white-blue-blue equipment somewhere into the top 5 or onto the podium (even during the Mass, for example). More often than not, Williams missed assembly deadlines and delivered parts for testing and sank into last place. However, when a new boss came to Grove in the winter of 2023 - former Mercedes strategist Jace Vowles - he said out loud the extent of the team's backwardness "by 20 years", and after that Albon suddenly began to gain points to 7th place in the Constructors' Championship, at times overtaking Ferrari. , getting into the top 5 and top 7 and giving out all sorts of levels of heroism. Many in our comments even demanded to stop calling Williams the worst and backward team - not to offend the once great giant and not to mislead. However, in fact, the legendary British still remain in complete turnaround mode - both last year and at the beginning of this year, the general level of backwardness admired even its workers. This is a new pack of winter revelations from Vowles and technical director Pat Fry (another ex-Mercedes top): about the power of the Ming era, building a car using Excel, lost parts, processing for urgent assembly and Superman mode. It's been a long time since outsider bosses spoke out about problems so loudly! Ming Dynasty setting, lack of cost control system Vowles gave many interviews over the winter about the team's rebuilding process, and as the best and most accurate moment of understanding the full depth of the decline of the once legendary team, he cited the example of a visit to one of the nooks and crannies of the Grove plant during his first summer break at the new base. “I was walking through the plant with chief operating officer Frédéric Brosseau, just looking around, wondering what changes would be needed, maybe in capacity, equipment or people. We studied machines. And we saw a specific machine in the composite materials department, which was used to produce parts for the new car. And then you enter the composite materials department and immediately see her. And I didn’t even know or understand what kind of car it was. It turned out to be an etching machine. Fred came in with me and was like, “Just so you know, this is somewhere from the Ming Dynasty [period of the Chinese Empire from the 14th to 17th centuries – Sports]. So, this car was as long as a motorhome. Usually in Mercedes they are the size of a table. Here's just an example of something I've never gotten myself into before and didn't understand. That's what I talk about when I explain that I'm constantly learning where we need to improve. In fact, somewhere from the second day I already had a rough idea of how difficult everything would be - as soon as I first walked through the factory door. It doesn't take long to realize that everything at Williams is different compared to what I'm used to [at Mercedes]. And not only in terms of capacity and equipment, but also data processing. There was not even data on the costs of components or the duration of their production cycle. Or about the number of parts in the queue for production. But if there is not at least one such raw type of data, it immediately becomes clear: you do not understand what is happening in the company, when the parts will be assembled into the machine, in what time frame and whether it will be possible to develop it at all.” Assembling 20,000 parts from an Excel spreadsheet = a nightmare Williams abandoned updating the 2023 car back in April - finishing and delivering only already designed parts and upgrades. Since then, Vowles has concentrated on developing a new machine: changing technical processes, reassembling infrastructure, recreating a new corporate culture, promoting the possibility of investing more money in the base (by the way, successfully - thanks to his efforts, the cap on capital investments was raised to $64 million for 5 years). The team also completely changed its internal vision and technological basis - and the modernization began with the basics of the approach to design and assembly. “The fire plugging methods used to produce even the 2023 car were banned - for example, modifying and fitting last year’s parts for a new chassis or using metal parts in place of supposed carbon ones. In 2023, all this still happened. In the end, even just one update to the car that season cost an extraordinary amount - much more than I expected. Our chassis immediately turned from several hundred parts into several thousand parts. And this is only one part of the machine. The volume of work has increased tenfold in some areas - and we still have the same limited infrastructure. For example, we started preparing the 2024 car according to an old habit - by creating an accounting of parts in Excel. It just looked like a joke. With a list of 20,000 individual items, this turned out to be a nightmare—impossible to navigate and update. Take the front wing - there are 400 different elements in it. And imagine the process when I say that we need to take our one front wing and completely eliminate the metal parts from it, making all the parts out of carbon fiber. You need to log in, parts need to be ordered. And then the question arises: what is more important: the front wing or the front suspension pylon and in what situation? Where will the parts go next, to what stage of control? Then you have to track the path of each element, and when the number swells to hundreds of thousands of components moving throughout the organization, the Excel spreadsheet becomes completely useless. After all, you need to know exactly where each individual component is located, exactly how long the production time will take, and when it will go to quality control and pass it. And if there are problems, then everything will need to be repeated. Formula 1 has moved to this level of complexity, and when you reach it, any organization via Excel will collapse, and any person will collapse. And here we are where we are now. Letters came and went back and forth between people and departments, everyone was looking for missing information. I remember hearing workers assembling the bottom - one said, “I have no idea where this component is,” and went to physically search the plant for specific parts. I'm impressed that the team was able to release and put something together at all. But they did it to themselves.” And this is not even the peak of the consequences of excessive concentration on Excel! Renault's previous failure in 2016 (9th place in the Constructors' Championship and 8 points) is associated not only with the post-bankruptcy state, weak engine and lack of clear investments in upgrades. It turns out that it was then that the team simply drowned in the spreadsheet processes! Advertising 18+ In 2017, Arstechnica author Sebastian Anthony visited the team's plant in Enstone to record the effect of digitalization of all technical processes - and found that the car of that year took 77,000 rows in a tabular breakdown by element! “A mixture of legacy from the old planning system, written to order, a little transformation process, a little manual modifications,” Everest described the spectacle. “Everything was out of date before it was even used.” Renault solved the problem by partnering with Microsoft - the American IT giant, for the sake of sponsorship stickers, transferred everything itself at its own expense (for example, localized tables in Dynamics 365). But this was a different era—the Redmond-based company urgently needed a beautiful showcase to prove that cloud tools could work effectively as part of their transformation strategy. Now such technologies are standard, and Williams has to cope on his own, with his own money and with his own resources. And the process is only in the middle. “We now have more structure in our system and processes,” said Vowles. – Now it is based on a digital base. But they're still not good enough. Not even close. And people are not yet fully familiar with the new system. In January, the chassis was still a bag of parts. You can’t work like that; the organization doesn’t need this level of workload. Instead of concentrating on performances, you just think about survival - just to get the car to the track. It is our responsibility to make sure this doesn't happen again. This winter must not be repeated.” The center of change is cultural. Williams must learn to work again Vowles’ main goal, after all, is not even changing machines, but restructuring the way of thinking of employees - from reactive to prospective, so that everyone thinks about the future, plans and copes better with the new. After all, otherwise no reduction in details or software updates will save the team in the long term - and people need to understand which approach is better. “I wanted to stress and overload the system to the absolute limit so that everyone would realize and realize when it started to break, and now it is breaking - one day. This will be the only winter like this. But cultural change, change of this magnitude, does not happen in an hour, a day, or even a winter. Typically it takes about three years for a thousand people. CTO Pat Fry and I think the same thing - “It will be very straightforward, it will make our lives easier and better, and it will focus on the process.” For the rest of us, it feels more like we're locking them in a box like, “This is what you can do, and this is your narrow field of work.” But this is absolutely not true. In fact, everything is much broader - I want everyone to think differently now. I stop you from wasting hours of your life on meaningless things and give back half of that time so you can think of smarter ways to move forward.” And this journey will make a lot of people uncomfortable. Resistance and even obvious indignation against. But that’s the logical resistance you encounter every time you try to change a culture.” Technical director Pat Fry's surprise: workers still have to sleep at the plant like they did 20 years ago Vowles's stories could be written off as attempts to explain in advance the lack of rapid progress in results or a potential rollback from the high seventh position of the Constructors' Championship, even after increased investment and a radical reassembly of the car - if freshly changed from Alpin (due to their reluctance to invest in development, by the way!) another former top engineer of the champion Mercedes did not tell similar stories about the assembly and production of the new car. They are also stunning. “Delays in deliveries forced workers to spend the night on base and literally turn into night shift workers in order to still prepare the parts. If we go back to the approach from about 20 years ago, if a lot of parts were delayed, someone would invariably pull Superman's underpants over his pants, run around and save the day. We still seem to be operating in the same mode, actually. But the results come from sound planning and optimization of everything possible... I will never allow anyone to bullshit, but the key parts for speed should come out of the factory last due to the search for additional lap time in the wind tunnel, or the necessary extended suspension development. These things need to be done smarter. Advertising 18+ And if a machine is very late in assembly without a good justification in the form of improvements, then this is simply a huge waste of resources and money. This winter, “Williams” worked viciously expensive. I never did. I don't want to live this again. I'm sure James doesn't want to either. I had to look for ways to produce the car differently. And, I want to say, I would not call them “normal”. Or very effective. We simply harm ourselves in the end - that’s what is meant, such a culture develops.” The most visible consequences: a completely new bold steering wheel... Broken in the first race Visible changes were already apparent during the presentation and run-in: firstly, the release of the real car was delayed until the last day before the tests, and at the opening of the season a show car was demonstrated; secondly, the change in technical processes was clearly demonstrated: from a steering wheel that was 10 years out of date without a screen switched to a supercomputer, which has long become an F1 standard. Moreover, it is now generally the smallest among the entire peloton - triangular in shape, with all possible edges cut off. A symbol of a new approach. And... It malfunctioned in the very first race - it caused Sargent to crash after a failure with calibrating the brake balance before a turn: “Logan had a sudden shift in braking balance that he didn’t give a command for - a steering bug,” Vowles admitted after the race. – This is an electronic problem due to the new design. First, we’ll solve it with a short-term fix, then, I hope, in Australia we’ll fix it completely.” “And the alarm window closed and blocked everything, it was impossible to make changes, and I couldn’t see anything and couldn’t do anything,” Albon clarified his problem. “It’s a terrible cycle.” Lack of spare chassis already at the third (!!!) race The nightmare continued at the Australian Grand Prix, the third stage of the season. When, during the first practice, Alex had a serious accident that damaged the chassis, the chaotic winter with the hellish and complex assembly process took off again! Williams did not have the necessary parts to repair the chassis and the third spare chassis itself - all the kits for two cars and the reserve simply did not have time to be produced, assembled and shipped. Exactly what Vowles was talking about in the winter. They had to send the broken elements to the factory in England and replant Albon on Sargent's chassis - Logan was removed from the remainder of the Australian Grand Prix, and Williams raced the stage with one car. Moreover, the extent of the shortage of even theoretically available parts at the plant is such that the next Grand Prix in Japan is on April 5! “Williams still won’t be able to assemble a third spare chassis!” The maximum they can do is restore what was broken in Australia. The situation could easily repeat itself. Advertising 18+ “When, in the conditions of modern Formula 1, a team does not have a spare chassis, this is an unacceptable situation,” Vowles summed up the situation. “However, it reflects how far behind we were over the winter period and illustrates why we need to make significant changes to the team to improve our position going forward. The last time this happened to me was in 2009 with Brown (after the sudden departure of Honda and the reassembly of the team in the winter - Sports). We were lucky back then; we could easily have lost the title because of one accident. Unfortunately, now we have to sacrifice something. In our case, this is the third chassis. I'm sure we will have two cars in Japan. I can’t even guarantee this 100% - it depends on the damage and the current capabilities at the base. We still need to prepare updates, somehow combine all this with the processes of continuing to change the technological base. Unfortunately, this is what happens when people push themselves to their absolute limits and break. That's why we had to feel it. And that's why we should never do that again. This hits us hard. Have we had reliability problems in testing and racing because we didn't prepare because we pushed ourselves to the absolute limit? Without a doubt. Did it give you more speed and potential? Yes. Have we delivered more speed and potential with better structure, organization and earlier build? Exactly. It was a necessary pain, it had to be experienced. This should be a catalyst."

Ever felt you knew how to stop rushing through life and just be in the moment? You are not alone! When was the last time you took a moment to enjoy your morning cup of tea or coffee? Or just sit with your spouse and start the day being with each other? When was the last time you felt the falling rain on your face? When the last time you saw the dew drops that made you feel good? When was the last time you really saw the beauty in nature and enjoyed being present to experience these simple things? Have you ever tried slowing down and just taking a backseat to enjoy the little pleasures in life? “We are always getting ready to live but never living.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson Ever noticed how hurriedly the days seem to pass by, and you still feel there is so much left to be done. Doesn’t it always seem that there is so much to be done, yet less time do it all? I have that feeling so often, and am always running against time because I am rushing through life, which I know I shouldn’t. This post is a reminder for me, and all those who also feel that their days fall short to do all that they want to do. I know I need to slow down and take things as they come, and make attempts to live in the moment. Do you? Advertisement What Does it Mean to Rush Through Life Simply put, when you rush through life, you forget to live NOW. It means you aren’t able to take out time to enjoy your mornings, instead, are always in a rush to go off to work. It means not being able to enjoy what you like doing. You don’t appreciate things around you, nor the outdoor, and don’t spend time with your loved ones. “Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save.” ~ Will Rogers Instead, what do people rushing through life do? They are always working, connected to their laptops or PCs, or on their mobiles and iPhones. Or they are checking their emails, blogging, commenting, multitasking, on social media, and keep working endlessly without a break! I am a lot like that – are you? Such people just don’t wait to stop and think how and where life is heading. They don’t have the time. Are you such a person? If so, why are you always rushing through your life? Why Are You Always Rushing Through Life Let me ask you a few questions and tell me what your answers were in the comments – here they are. Do you keep running from one task to another in an attempt to complete your never ending list of to-do things? Do you hurry through your talks with your spouse, family, kids, or parents? Are you always in a hurry to keep up with friends, whether they are online friends or the offline ones? Do you face relationship problems when you aren’t able to devote the required time with your partner, because you are over-worked and lacking in time? Be true to yourself and answer this one! Talking about the present, tell me how did you spend your day today? Does your typical day start something like this – waking up, rushing through shower, getting the kids ready (if you have small kids), breakfast, if possible exercise, starting work – at home or driving to office, checking emails and social updates, meetings, doing real work, rushing through lunch, drive back home, watch TV, have dinner, and feeling flat off to bed late at night, only to wake up early morning again! Your day might not be exactly like this, but I’m sure it must be quite similar. Advertisement Don’t you follow such a routine day in and day out, when suddenly one day you feel burnout? What happens then? You realize how many years have passed by just following this same monotonous life. People nowadays are stressed, overworked, and over-scheduled because they are involved into a lot of things. They have lots of work, and have to be part of communities, kids, family, social events, and other activities. Even ABC News reported how American’s are working longer hours than ever before. “Men, for the sake of getting a living, forget to live.” ~ Margaret Fuller. Haven’t you forgotten how to slow down and enjoy life? I think so, because of the hectic lifestyles you and me lead. Coming to think of it, why the rush? Can’t things wait? Are there really things that need to be attended to straight away at the cost of other important things in your life? Think about it and let me know below. So what do people like you and me do about it? We try to understand what happens when we rush through life. What Happens When You Rush Through Life When you rush through your life as it is, you miss out on the journey. You miss out on living in the present. You miss out on those precious moments of life. Yes, you are all busy in your lives with lots to be done each day and no moment to spare. But it’s also important to set priorities in life and take life as it comes, instead of rushing through it. You might feel something needs to be done right away, and at the cost of your family or other important tasks; you get down doing that particular thing. But was it that important after all? Couldn’t it wait or be avoided? You may make such a decision because you feel you have to. It’s almost like putting all the ingredients of a recipe together in a pot without realizing or tasting what you’re cooking! You just follow the recipe exactly the way it was supposed to be followed, even when you know that a little more salt or less of pepper is what it needs. Similarly, you don’t listen to your own body when you exercise or eat food, and tend to do things you’ve been doing since ages – don’t you? You are afraid to try out new things because you feel that the old ones are tried and tested, and someone way back in time said that was the right way to do it all. Or because you really don’t have the time to try something new and different – as you are forever rushing through life and don’t have the time to shape your own life yourself. How about slowing down a little, taking risks, challenging what’s been done before, being a little wild, and letting everyone call you a little ‘crazy’? “There is more to life than increasing its speed.” ~ Mohandas Gandhi. Try out these ways to stop rushing through life and see the changed person you’d become. Ways to Stop Rushing Through Life As I mentioned before, this post is also a reminder for me to take life a little slow and not really get caught up trying to do everything, all the time. You know that stress is bad for you, yet you prefer staying up to date, or you fall behind. You try doing many things to work faster, yet you fall behind because lots of people are working smarter. You feel you’d be slower than them if you don’t jump on the bandwagon. So, what do you do? You become mechanical – almost robotic! In the process, you forget to take care of your basic needs like sleep, proper diet, exercise, and fresh air. This is also a reason why you feel slow, unmotivated, unproductive, and restless. Sounds familiar? “It is important from time to time to slow down, to go away by yourself, and simply be.” ~ Eileen Caddy Here are some ways of stop rushing through life and enjoying it as it comes – 1- Slow down by doing less Hard as it may sound, this is the first thing you need to do – slow down your pace by doing less. Focus on doing what’s really important, and leave the rest for later. You also need to eat slow instead of gulping your food in because that way you don’t enjoy your food, nor feel the flavor and texture. You aren’t being mindful when you eat fast. Similarly, drive slower and appreciate nature and your surroundings, instead of rushing through always. Spend more family time, instead of just short-talking with your kids and family. Love slower, instead of hurrying up your act. Simply put, just put your heart and mind when you do things. See the difference it makes to your life! 2- Plan your day and make your list Planning out your day makes you less stressed for accomplishing your work because you know what you have to do for the rest of the day. You learn how to manage your time well this way. Don’t make a long list or else you might feel overwhelmed and stretched far again. Make sure what you plan are small and achievable goals for the day. Scientific studies have shown that those who spend less time at their office or work, and more time relaxing – are more effective and productive. Take short breaks between work to stretch your body, close your eyes, breathe, which can reduce the pace with which you deal with the rest of the day. Also, remain organized in your work place by removing all that you don’t need so you don’t rush through when you need something. You will be less hurried, more productive, and happier when your physical work spaces are clutter-free. 3- Do one thing at one time Learn to let go of multi-tasking and concentrating on doing just one thing at a time. That’s because when you multi-task, you don’t enjoy what you do as you try doing many things together. If you are working, keep your TV, phones and emails OFF, and when you are watching TV or spending time with your loved ones – keep work away. This one’s again a reminder for me too, though I remain focused in what I do but still need to get better in this area. 4- Balance out your day Life is all about making the right choices and balancing things out. Take out a little time from your busy schedule to work, play, relax, and be with your family and loved ones. Focus on people and be there when you are present with them. Don’t talk to them while talking on your mobiles or working. That way you are there, but your mind is on things you need to do. You might listen, but you’re really thinking about yourself and what you want. Just shut off the world when you connect with those who matter. Maintain your friendships and relationships because life is also about family and friends, and taking out time for them. Perhaps over the weekend, if you don’t have the time during the week. 5- Take out time for yourself Take out a few minutes a day for yourself too. Even 15 minutes a day to go within and just enjoy the fact that you are doing great and loving your life is a good way to find peace within yourself. How can you find this quiet time for yourself? By turning off the TV, cell phone, computer, and all your work, and just doing something that you like or want to do. It’s good to sometimes enjoy life’s simple luxuries and pamper yourself. Here are some ways to take out some ‘me’ time, though you can add a lot more to it – Share a chocolate with your loved ones Enjoy a new hairdo or makeover Read a good book Listen to music Meditate Yoga Spend time with your pet – I do, with my dog 🙂 Take up a hobby daily Play with your kids Spend time with your spouse De-stress and completely relax at least once a week Go out and enjoy nature. Try hiking, fishing, boating, and sightseeing if you love the outdoors Take a stroll, and if you know the benefits of walking – walk through and explore different paths Or anything else that makes you feel good Notice the small things in life that you wouldn’t otherwise. You can find them when you are away from your work or doing something you love doing. What fun it would be to have such a ‘me’ time. You could just wear what you feel like, eat, drink, and make merry all day long. Of course, without any Internet, or laptop – this means no social media too! Ah…I wait for that day! 6- Learn to give up on one thing There’s a lot to be done, isn’t there? I feel like that so often. But can I really do more than I’m actually doing? I don’t think so because I am stretching myself quite far already. How can I or you change that? That can be done by trying to give up just on one thing from your schedule. If you visit social networks thrice a day, make it twice. If you visit 10 blogs daily, cut then down to 7 or 8. If you go to the gym daily, make it 5 days a week. Small differences in your lifestyle will change your life. When you reschedule your time like this, you’d find more time to relax and recoup. So, learn to schedule less and do more with the time you have. 7- Don’t procrastinate Some people procrastinate their work time, which causes them to push their work to be done later. What time do they take out to do such work? They use their relaxation or entertainment or the ‘me’ time. Instead, do the work you planned for the day, so that your time remains yours and you end it feeling satisfied. More so, you’ll not fell stressed or guilty of leaving work pending for later. 8- Learn to say no Some of you might be having a problem saying no or refusing favors asked of you. Even though you don’t want to disappoint your friends, you need to prioritize and refuse them from time to time. Just be honest as your friends will understand, especially if you can’t attend a get-together, event, function, hangout, or any such thing. Remember, it all comes down to managing your time yourself. 9- Finding joy and living in the moment There is a lot of joy in each day, provided you look for it. It could be a new flower blooming in your garden, a toothless grin from a 90 year old, kids cooking a meal for you, or just about anything that make you happy. Learn to appreciate these precious moments life puts forth you. Go with the flow and do just what needs to be done. Take each day as it comes – as if it were the last. Be mindful of whatever you do at the moment. Yes, your mind races towards thing that need to be done, or thoughts about the past – bring yourself back to the live in the present moment. Do whatever you do, with love. Like when you are cooking, instead of rushing through it and thinking it to be a boring chore that you want to end quickly, really get involved. Enjoy the aroma, the spices, the sizzle, the sensation of chopping the vegetables, or tasting the food when it’s done. You’ll learn to take each task as an enjoyable one, provided you think positively about it. Change what’s in your power, and leave the rest – just let it GO! You can’t change people, or things, but you can change the way you react to them. Most importantly, when you find yourself rushing through life and stressed out, stop and just breathe – then take a few more deep breaths. Notice how the stress reduces. That’s because you focus on breathing, and pull yourself back to the present. You slow down your pace. Try doing it right now and feel the difference. 🙂 “When you calm your body & your emotions, you restore yourself, and restore peace to the world around you.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh Although I write about this, I know my hubby would say that I don’t follow this one! That’s because I love to plan and execute my day or else I really can’t work efficiently. More so, when I plan it reduces my anxiety. I don’t like sudden changes, but I understand that life happens, plans change, and sometimes things are out of your control. You need to accept life and adapt to the changes that take place. So, I am slowly learning to do all these things too. How about you? 🙂 Call to action Imagine a world where everyone slowed down a little – the drivers, housewives, businessmen, and motorcyclists. For starters – there would be fewer accidents and so much more time to connect! When you jump from one task to another and forget what you just did, or which direction you just came from, you lose awareness of everything around you, thus lose to live in the moment. You create a vicious cycle for yourself where you find yourself running after time. And as you hurry, you make mistakes, achieve little, and take much more time doing the things that need to be done. Sounds familiar? Is that how you become sometimes? So, what can you do about it? Slow down, and resist the very thought of rushing through. Step into the present; be aware, alert, and conscious. When you are focused, you can make better choices and feel much more in control. Remember, when you slow down and enjoy life, your will reduce the stress and tension that comes across in your work, family, and relationship. It would give you immense happiness and satisfaction. So, stop rushing through life, because in doing so, you are missing out on a lot of things that matter. “You’re only here for a short visit. Don’t hurry, don’t worry. And be sure to smell the flowers along the way.” ~ Walter Hagen I value my Dad’s words when he said that life isn’t a 100 meter race, it’s a marathon – you need to run long not fast. For that, you need to be like the tortoise – be slow, be steady, and win the race! Are you ready for changing your life for the better? Let’s make an attempt to win this long race together 🙂 Over to you – When was the last time you lived in the moment? Why are you always rushed for time? What ways would you suggest to stop rushing through life and enjoy it? Share in the comments below.

Harley-Davidson will follow in the footsteps of many car manufacturers and launch a certified pre-owned motorcycle program. The iconic bike maker is losing U.S. market share due to declining retail sales, but demand for used Harleys remains strong. With that in mind, CEO Jochen Seitz is leading a five-year turnaround strategy that will aim to broaden the brand's appeal beyond middle-aged and affluent commuters, Reuters reports. Harley was the hottest brand in the used big bike market in 2020. In fact, some Harley-Davidson dealers say used bikes sold for three times the price of new ones last year, and with the coronavirus pandemic leading to increased demand for outdoor recreational activities, that could continue to rise. “We believe this program will enhance Harley-Davidson's appeal, increase sales and profitability, and improve the overall customer experience, supporting growth,” Zeitz said in a statement about the Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle program. The company's program will certify motorcycles up to five years old with mileage up to 25,000 miles (~40,000 km). These bikes will be inspected and backed by a 12-month limited warranty and can be purchased directly through Harley-Davidson. The company will launch the program at the end of April, and more than 300 dealers have already expressed interest in participating. "The biggest competitor to a new Harley-Davidson motorcycle is not an Indian bike, not a Honda or a Suzuki bike, but a used Harley-Davidson motorcycle," said Wedbush Securities analyst James Hardiman. Automobile manufacturers have been using certified pre-owned programs for years. These programs not only drive business growth, but also help build brand loyalty.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF A WINNER IN SPORTS Excerpts from an article by the famous scientist, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, coach of Tailors Yuri Ivanovich Achieving victory requires the athlete to maximize the mobilization of his physical and mental reserve capabilities both in the preparation process and directly in the competition. The winner feels the highest inner satisfaction from the success achieved, often he thanks not only the coach, himself, the sports fans who helped him morally, but also the higher forces of Earth and Heaven ("catharsis") for the success. The emotions and feelings of the winner can be characterized by the athlete's pride in himself, for his team, for his country. At the moment of the public award, the winning athlete looks at himself as if from the outside and admires himself. At the same time, he feels deep spiritual satisfaction, which gives him moral compensation for the hardships and difficulties he had to overcome on the way to the cherished victory. THERE IS A MEASURE TO EVERYTHING With excessive self-admiration, the winner is in danger of showing disdain for his rivals and even for his comrades, a "star disease" arises. The arrogant athlete very soon loses his former ability to compete, which is the downside of winning sports. however An Olympic medal is by no means a guarantee of a happy family life or the protection of a retired champion from alcoholism, an uncomplicated business career or falling into the networks of criminal structures. Professional and commercial sports often push athletes and their coaches to violate the rules of competition and the moral principles of purity of sports, to secretly take doping, attempts to bribe an opponent or a sports referee, etc. Often, instead of the slogan "Victory is everything!", the appeal "Everything is victory!" is adopted. But victory at any cost means the priority of aggression (external and internal), the rejection of the moral principles of "fair play" (fair play), the direct consequence of which for a short-sighted athlete may be not only loss of health and personal prestige, but sometimes loss of life itself as a result of doping, injury or criminal "showdown". Self-criticism, a sober assessment of their capabilities allows the winner to avoid the pitfalls of fame and mobilize themselves to participate in subsequent competitions. The achievement of victory in sports takes place on a par with the level of physical, technical and psychological preparedness achieved by an athlete for competitions and directly depends on his ability to overcome the negative consequences of competitive stress that occurs long before the start of the competition, but is especially aggravated during it. VICTORY NEVER COMES TO THE WEAK, it is not accidental in itself, but an unforeseen accident can prevent victory from being achieved or, conversely, grant it to a weaker opponent. Winning in sports is always only a consequence of the superiority of one athlete over another in at least one component of fitness. At the same time, the psychological, moral and volitional readiness of an athlete for competitions has now come out on top, this is a decisive factor in the relative equality of the levels of physical and tactical and technical preparedness of athletes of the extra class. In modern sports, the winner is the one who sees earlier, hears earlier, feels and works well mentally, presents and understands his advantages and possible weaknesses of the opponent, and then tactically competently uses this knowledge in the course of wrestling. GENIUS in sports activity is the ABILITY of individual athletes to DEFEAT their rivals even before the start of the competition, i.e. BEFORE the START (for example, A. Karelin et al.).

Russian Cuisine Preservation Foundation Chairman, chef, writer Maxim Syrnikov in an interview with the world on the Day of Soup, which is celebrated on April 5, the chairman of the Foundation for the Preservation of Russian cuisine "Russian Cookery", chef, writer Maxim Syrnikov NEWS.ru he put an end to the dispute, whose borscht, told about the variety of native Russian soups and how the inhabitants of the offices "hunt" for "normal chowder". — How would you rate the po[CENSORED]rity of soups in Russia? Have we finally switched to fast food and semi-finished products or not yet? — Fortunately, it's not final yet. Anyway, the first thing a novice hostess or owner learns to do, if he cooks, is soup. Still, it is impossible to do without borscht, vegetable soup in Russian homes. — But the soup takes a long time to cook, and there is always not enough time. What should I do? — Firstly, not all soups are cooked for a long time. Secondly, they talked about vanity in Soviet times. I remember perfectly well how all sorts of magazines like "Workers" printed recipes in a hurry in the 1970s and referred to the fact that "the modern hostess is very busy." 50 years have passed since then. And what has changed? Nothing. Someone really rushes from office to office, and someone still spends some part of the time at home. And no one canceled the weekend. And then, we are used to focusing on the Moscow public, who spends 1.5 hours on a one-way trip and goes home through some kind of fitness. It is clear that when he crawls home, he will not be up to soup. But there is also a huge Russian province that lives by different rules. I live in a city with a po[CENSORED]tion of 15 thousand people (Ostashkov. — NEWS.ru ), and I assure you that almost every house has soup. People harvest sauerkraut and make cabbage soup. I go to markets, to shops and see how meticulously housewives choose beets for borscht. So it's actually fine. I know for sure that in big cities there is a serious category of people who do not eat or cook at home or do it extremely rarely, but go to middle-class establishments and look for restaurants, cafes, canteens where there are delicious soups. Steak, sushi and pizza will not surprise anyone now. Everyone prepares them, you can buy them at every corner. But a normal, delicious soup should be looked for. Such establishments with good stews are actually in great demand. Young chefs often turn to me for advice, they are all looking for interesting solutions for soups. — Which soups are native Russian. Pickle, botvinya — many more? — There are a lot of them, moreover, for every taste, for any time of the year. The same cabbage soup, which is sometimes treated lightly, has many types and methods of cooking. Previously, in Russia, certain soup was prepared every season of the year. For example, from crumbs, cabbage seedlings, fish, turnips. There are cabbage soup without cabbage at all — with sorrel, nettle. Not because of poverty, our ancestors cooked from wild plants, but because it is really tasty and healthy. There are soup with ham, corned beef, mushroom — the so-called Valaam, or monastery. The variety of cabbage soup is an absolutely Russian tradition. It's the same with borscht. There are documents of the XVI century that borscht was prepared from wild plants in the Arkhangelsk region. — And if we talk about cold soups, is there a Russian alternative to gazpacho (a dish of Andalusian cuisine, a light soup made of fresh vegetables ground into puree)? — I laughed a lot when reading the letters of the Russian writer Vasily Botkin — I was like that under Catherine II and Pavel Petrovich. He was one of the first to visit Spain and left a memoir where he wrote that Spanish cuisine is pretty crappy, and all that is there is a good okroshka with cucumbers, which is called gazpacho. Cold soups are an absolutely Russian feature. These are lean, meat, fish, mushroom okroshki. And the so-called cold summer prison: when it's hot and you don't want to eat anything, fresh rye bread is simply filled with kvass with onion, dill. You can add grated root vegetables — radishes, garlic. Very refreshing delicious cold soups. And of course, pickle dishes, which are also not cooked anywhere except in Russia: solyanka, hookah — a traditional old Russian dish on cucumber pickle, lean, fish pickles grown from this hookah. I can name 25-30 traditional Russian chowder offhand without much difficulty. Our traditions of cold and hot soups are huge. pixabay.com — How do you answer the fundamental question, whose borscht? — The dispute about whose borscht is full of teeth, it's time to put an end to it. In my opinion, everything here is obvious and documented by cookbooks of the XIX century and many other documents. Borsch is a Russian dish, which has a Ukrainian version, which differs from other types of borscht only by the presence of lard in any form — whether lard was added or fried vegetables on lard. Wow, the Ukrainian version of borscht. In general, this is a Russian dish. — In recent years, detox nutrition has become fashionable in Russia, and because of the rise in price of meat, fish, poultry, Russians limit the use of these products. What soups can Russian cuisine offer to such people? — If a person for some reason does not want or cannot cook meat broth - well, fine. Russian cuisine helps people who refuse meat well. A huge number of dishes of Russian cuisine have lean options. A Russian person has been fasting for a thousand years, there are more fast days in the Orthodox calendar than fast days. And there are a lot of lean stews, for vegetarians — the very thing. pixabay.com — Which soup is the most fashionable today? — There is no such thing. Every chef or home cook comes up with recipes for himself, to his taste. I can say that when I worked as a chef in Vladivostok for two years (and the residents of Primorye have very special tastes, these are certainly not Muscovites or Novosibirsk residents, they all grew up on seafood there, especially young people), then at the request of visitors I often cooked a hodgepodge with halibut and seafood. Why not? I ate with pleasure myself. There is no Russian tradition in shrimp, of course, but it is delicious. — How often should I eat soup? Doctors say different things — someone advises soup every day, someone - twice a week... — (Laughs). I'm a bad illustration for talking about healthy eating. I'm not a doctor and I don't really understand nutritionists, because too often I hear absolutely contradictory opinions. Who to believe is completely unclear. I think it's better to ignore their advice and focus on your own well-being. I know for sure that I definitely need a plate of any hot soup every day. It's important to me. And I know a lot of people for whom this is also important.

Over the past few days, the head of Rostourism managed to first doubt the need for a seaside vacation, and then kindly allow us to go where we want. We thought about it and decided that we still want to go to the sea. And not at all because this is a "stereotype of recent years." And why the last - if you think, years of this stereotype is decent, remember at least about Soviet health resorts, sanatoriums, pioneer camps on the shores of the Black Sea. We suggest not to think about stereotypes - health is more important. We have found as many as five reasons to be on the sea coast, listen to the sound of the waves, look at the crimson sunset over the sea and admire the horizon line. Straight line: only sky and water. 1. At the resort, you can fill the deficiency of vitamin D Vitamin D is produced in the skin under the influence of ultraviolet rays - it is not surprising that the inhabitants of the North absolutely lack it, especially in winter. “Lack of vitamin D is typical for 95–98% of residents of northern latitudes and central parts of Russia,” says Mikhail Gavrilov, a psychotherapist, Ph.D., author of a patented technique for correcting eating behavior and losing weight. Recently, a deficiency of this vitamin has been noted among residents of southern latitudes. This is due to the fact that people use too strong sunscreen and are less outdoors. And this shortage affects literally all aspects of life. “The role of vitamin D is broader than participation in phosphorus-potassium metabolism and prevention of osteoporosis and rickets,” says Ekaterina Pushkova, pediatrician, allergist-immunologist at the Atlas Medical Center. "It participates in immune responses, in cell differentiation, and reduces inflammation." The level of the substance has to be replenished with the help of vitamins with therapeutic doses (and they are much higher than prophylactic doses, as Mikhail Gavrilov explains). To prevent vitamin D deficiency, you need to spend 20 minutes a day in the sun with open hands and face. Without washing - so that there is a fatty film on the face. Can you do it right now? You can find out by looking out the window. Theoretically, you can stock up on this vitamin by going on vacation to a seaside resort: "Vitamin D belongs to the fat-soluble category and will be stored in the fat depot for some time, three to four months," recalls Mikhail Gavrilov. 2. Sea sand is good for feet, sea water is good for skin The benefits are primarily cosmetic. A romantic walk along the surf can replace a hike to a pedicure specialist. The fact is that wet sand is an excellent exfoliant, it helps the skin of the feet (and not only feet) to get rid of dead cells and renew, which makes the hardened limbs soften and take on a decent look. It is desirable that the sand is very fine at the same time - the beaches of the Seychelles, the Dominican Republic, the island of Bali or Cambodia are ideal. In addition, walking on the sand is also a kind of foot massage, which is considered useful by followers of alternative medicine: they claim that foot massage helps relieve stress, improve blood circulation and strengthen immunity. With regard to sea water, options are possible. For example, with eczema and atopic dermatitis, it should be avoided. With psoriasis - on the contrary, splash in it more often. And for those who suffer from acne, doctors advise to sunbathe (in moderation, of course): vitamin D is also known for its antibacterial properties. 3. At the resort, we move more and eat better The debaters will surely find an answer to this statement: yes, exercise with a shovel in the country is also great fitness. But not now! In winter, many summer residents, even wealthy ones, prefer not to break through to the site through the snowdrifts, but calmly wait for the snow to melt. And there is nothing to weed. In apartments, summer residents, of course, lack the opportunity to warm up. Sea resorts are a different matter. At the same time, it also strengthens the muscles of the legs (when walking), shoulders, back and arms (when swimming). But he may also decide to play beach volleyball, go for a mountain walk or ride a bike! Meals at the resort are another story. If you've traveled to one of the Mediterranean or Southeast Asian countries, you'll likely be eating more fish and seafood (and consuming more omega-3 fatty acids, which you probably lack) and vegetables (vitamins and fiber) than at home. Additional benefits for the heart, blood vessels and mood. A person who has just had a good dinner always has a good mood, doesn't it? 4. Sea air has a beneficial effect on the lungs And our ancestors knew this very well - to recall at least Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, who suffered from tuberculosis, whom we presumptuously rank among the ancestors. “The sea air contains practically all known mineral elements,” says Ekaterina Pushkova. - In composition, it is close to human blood plasma: it is a very physiological composition, and negative ionization helps microelements to penetrate into human tissues and saturate them comfortably for mucous membranes. Inhalation with ionized air in a seaside resort occurs without discomfort, it is not perceived as a medical procedure. " “The healing effect is moisturizing, relieving inflammation,” continues Ekaterina Pushkova. - Breathing in the fresh air of the sea is useful for those who suffer from tuberculosis and obstructive pulmonary disease (it would be nice if there were fewer of them, of course), recovering from pneumonia or bronchitis. But, of course, it is useful not only for lung diseases. Residents of megalopolises breathe polluted air with a high concentration of tar and exhaust gases, it maintains inflammation of the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract, and the susceptibility to infections increases. The sea air suppresses inflammation, restores mucous membranes. " It is good if there is also a coniferous forest near the sea: the forest air is saturated with phytoncides that have antimicrobial action - an additional benefit. Baltic pines, Gelendzhik Pitsunda pine, Lebanese cedar in the Mediterranean countries, eucalyptus trees that can be unexpectedly found in Gran Canaria, one of the Canary Islands, rainbow eucalyptus trees of the Sulawesi island in Indonesia - choose phytoncides to taste. 5. Vacation at sea saves from stress and depression The fact that the sea is somehow calmer and more fun for us has a lot of explanations. For example, the obvious: on vacation somehow not up to the dollar rate and international conflicts - there is no TV, the news is reluctant to read, so the reasons for concern disappear by themselves. The second explanation is offered by the American oceanographer, po[CENSORED]rizer of science Wallace J. Nichols, author of the book "Blue Mind": he claims that the seascape has a calming effect on the psyche by itself. The most understandable is the third scientific explanation associated with the familiar vitamin D. “This substance is involved in the synthesis of dopamine, which has a stimulating effect,” explains Mikhail Gavrilov. - Low dopamine levels are associated with poor motivation, lack of energy, problems with emotion control. It is no coincidence that seasonal spleen covers many in autumn and winter, when daylight hours are shortened and it is impossible to get a sufficient dose of vitamin D in the sun. Lack of vitamin D in adults can lead to seasonal affective disorder, depression, obesity and reduced immunity. ” So away from doubts - it's time to go to sea.

Welcome to true-blue petrolhead territory. This is where incredible outright grip and pace, vivid driver engagement and thrill, supreme handling poise and track-day-ready specification and purpose all abide. You’ll like it here. The cars we’re saluting are genuine immortals of speed and excitement. Some of them are so exciting, in fact, that they don’t really belong on the road at all — although all are road-legal with numberplates. But all are cars you’d be in the market for if you wanted a money-no-object track-day tool to enjoy through the summer months — and something you could drive home in afterwards. Here, we rank both current production machines as well as those that have gone off sale but have yet to be replaced; because these kinds of cars don’t come along often, don’t stay around for long, and the best remain relevant long after they’ve disappeared from the sales brochures. To chart 10 of these cars without counting those that are technically defunct would be to deny some amazing driver’s cars the recognition they’re undoubtedly due. But which are due the most? 1. McLaren 765 LT The latest model in McLaren's special 'Longtail' series is not without its flaws, but as an explosive tour de force in the upper echelons of the 'trackday supercar' world, it takes some beating. For one thing, the effort and expense that has gone into the 765 LT deserves recognition. Removing weight from something as light as the 720S is no mean feat, and has necessitated extreme measures such as the use of titanium wheel nuts and thinner glazing, which help save 80kg in total and give the car's powertrain frighteningly little to hold it back. That powertrain consists of McLaren's 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 – what else? – only tuned to 755bhp for this application and with a shorter final drive, for truly neck-snapping acceleration. However, where the LT really departs from the dynamic template set down by the 720S concerns its more flighty balance and limit-handling. Simply, the car wants to play, and is probably the most entertaining car that McLaren has ever built. It'll take some yaw at all stages of the corner, perhaps sacrificing some speed in the process, but it's this combination of dynamism with McLaren's hallmark steering and sense of levity that makes the driving experience so memorable. The catch? The 765 LT isn't so easily mastered, so drivers need to show their mettle.

Porsche 911 GT3 The supreme hardcore focus, track-day hardiness, handling brilliance, driver involvement and performance value of the Porsche 911 GT3 make it a car that absolutely demands recognition. It has become the default answer to any number of questions a newly inducted petrolhead might ask about which car they should buy to maximise return on investment for speed, excitement and driver reward. The only fly in the ointment is that, these days, everyone knows it — and so GT3s have become highly sought after. Though visually shoutier than before, the 992 GT3 still isn’t a machine that advertises its brilliance particularly loudly on paper. The car’s 503bhp 4.0-litre flat-six makes it look a bit outgunned in this company, and even in Porsche’s own model range there are several 911s with greater claimed power and outright accelerative performance. But no rival has the GT3’s blend of pace, grip, balance and usefully positioned weight; none has the all-round dynamic precision and outstanding controllability needed at once to set blistering laptimes and set your imagination racing on track. Our only reservation about this latest 992-series version is that it seems to have been positioned more deliberately as a track car, rather than something that's also very comfortable on the road, and it therefore encroaches on the upcoming GT3 RS's position in the range even before that flagship model has been announced. Overall, the GT3 is not quite as well-rounded as the 991-vintage car, in our opinion. However, the big picture is that through four generations and as many mid-cycle revisions, the GT3 has got better and better since the very first one appeared in 1999. Counting some very closely related GT3 derivative offshoots, it has won Autocar’s annual Britain’s Best Driver’s Car contest four times. Porsche 911s of various types have won it seven times. For the record, no other sports car in three decades of competition has won it more than twice. Back to top Save money with new 911 deals from What Car? 3. McLaren 600 LT Regular readers of Autocar might be somewhat surprised to see the McLaren 600 LT slide into third place on this list after being crowned Britain’s Best Driver’s Car for 2018. Make no mistake, the McLaren is a visceral, highly engaging and beautifully balanced hardcore sports car that works sublimely on both road and track; but the fact it doesn’t pip the Porsche here just goes to show how highly we regard the outgoing 911 GT3 and the ferocious new 765 LT. The 600 LT is based on the fantastic 570S, and is the third ‘Longtail’ model launched by McLaren Automotive. Power has been hiked by 30bhp to 592bhp courtesy of a freer-breathing exhaust, the springs are significantly stiffer, its dampers have been retuned, and aggressive new body work now sees it generate even more downforce at speed. s with any track-honed special, it’s been stripped out too. In its lightest spec (no air-con, no nose lift, no stereo etc) it weighs 1247kg dry (less than even the 620R). The resulting package really is something special indeed; one that steers with the tactile sweetness and accuracy that McLaren has become renowned for, while also now being faster, grippier and more aurally rewarding than ever before. Top work, McLaren – not onto whatever trackday hero you're going to spin off the V6-hybrid Artura. Back to top Save money with new 570S deals from What Car? 4. Ferrari 488 Pista Here are the headline stats: 710bhp, 568 lb ft, 1359kg, zero to 62mph in 2.85sec and a price tag of £252,765 - before options. In short, the 488 Pista is a truly serious piece of kit. And an effective one, to boot. At our Britain’s Best Driver’s Car 2018 shoot out, the successor to the phenomenal 458 Speciale was the fastest car to lap the Anglesey Coastal Circuit, with a time of 1min 11.4sec - 1.7sec quicker than the McLaren 600 LT. This is a car that’s seemingly defined by immediacy. Turn the wheel and the front end responds with the agility of a pursued hare. Pull one of the steering column-mounted columns and the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic ‘box will swap cogs faster than you can blink. And if you’re brave enough to extend all of the throttle’s travel, you’ll find yourself catching up on the horizon at an alarming rate of pace. Given the Pista’s immence potency, it’d be easy to write it off as being a handful on track, but the reality is that it’s one of the most balanced, adjustable and flattering cars you can buy. That it’s not quite as adept at making the most of its abilities on the road as the road as the McLaren 600 LT sees it slide into fourth place here. But it’s an incredibly narrow gap that separates very differently tuned rivals. Back to top Save money with new 488 deals from What Car? 5. Porsche 911 GT2 RS This is where the world’s best-loved sports car gets a bit silly. There has never been a faster or more powerful 911 than the 690bhp, 211mph GT2 RS. This uber-911 seeks to combine the involving track focus of the GT3 RS with a level of torque and sheer brute force performance that even a 911 Turbo S struggles to match, with the latter channelled through one driven axle rather than two. It’s quite a mission statement — and, if only by Porsche’s own high standards, it’s not entirely successfully delivered upon. But such a tiny detail needn’t necessarily come between any GT2 RS owner and the appreciation of what remains a staggeringly compelling driver’s car, because the GT2 RS is remarkably good at keeping its ridiculousness largely in check most of the time, unleashing it only when you want it to. The car uses 21in rear wheels and 325-section tyres to transmit its venom to the Tarmac. It has carbon-ceramic brakes as standard and a suspension set-up even more specialised than that of a GT3 RS. And yet, unlike almost any other 911 GT2 there has ever been, it knows how to behave itself when the occasion calls for it. At other times? It’s ballistic; not without turbo lag (how could it be?) but still remarkably responsive and linear, and as fast as a hypercar in full cry. It’s also approachable and obedient on a track, for the most part. It doesn’t feel like it’s hardwired into your synapses like a GT3 and doesn’t involve to quite the same extent. Even so, there’s nothing else quite like it. Back to top Save money with new 911 deals from What Car? 6. Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series Carrying more motorsport technology than any production machine in Mercedes-AMG’s history, the old GT R was Affalterbach’s big swipe at the golden boy of its near Stuttgart rival: the Porsche 911 GT3. That it existed at all told you much about AMG’s determination, one day soon, to emerge from the shadows of its world-famous neighbour as a maker of sports cars of equal stature and acclaim. That emergence comes in the form of the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series, which appears to be an even hotter version of the GT R, but is in fact quite a different beast altogether. The sixth Black Series model is 35kg lighter than the GT R, shares plenty of genuine aero-knowhow with Mercedes-AMG's GT3 cars (in fact, the same chap who developed the aero package for the racers also did this road-legal car) and is the new Nürburgring lap-record holder, displacing the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ. AMG has also revised the twin-turbo V8, switching the rumbling old cross-plane crank for a peakier flat-plane item, and raising power to 720bhp, making this car it's most powerful series-production model. The suspension and interior are also suitably racey, as you'd expect. However, what makes the Black Series such a revelation – even at £335,000 – and what allows AMG to encroach on Porsche GT turf more than ever before, is the confidence this car inspries. As Matt Prior gushed, 'you can drive the cracker off the Black Series, feel involved and bonded int o the process and, at the end of it, it's likely to have lapped about five seconds slwoer than a full-fat GT3 race car.' Back to top Save money with new GT deals from What Car? 7. Lamborghini Huracán Performante Having until quite recently been the fastest production car in history to lap the Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit, the Lamborghini Huracán Performante is also one of the fastest car we’ve ever timed around our benchmark dry handling circuit, around which every performance car that’s subject to a full Autocar road test is driven. That makes the 630bhp, extra-lightweight, four-wheel drive Lambo quicker, corner by corner, than a McLaren P1, a Porsche 918 Spyder and a Bugatti Veyron Supersport; that's proof of how much grip, incisiveness, poise and precision Sant’Agata has engineering into a Huracán chassis, which wasn’t class-leading in any of those respects in standard form. Very little will prepare you for the baleful, red-blooded howl of this car’s naturally aspirated V10 engine as it rips past 8000rpm, or the savagery of every upshift of its twin-clutch gearbox. In an era of turbocharged opponents, the Huracán’s rapier-sharp engine really is to be embraced and savoured. But, in this Huracán, the handling balance and confidence you’ll unearth once the car’s incredible Pirelli Trofeo R tyres are warmed up can at last approach the same kind of brilliance as the powertrain. The Huracán has almost unrivalled supercar presence and sense of occasion, not to mention all that bleeding soul. As an object of desire, its appeal is multifaceted; you won’t find better-looking carbonfibre anywhere else in the world. As a driver’s car, it only lacks that last degree of throttle-on poise and interactivity of the best of its rivals. Back to top Save money with new Huracán deals from What Car? 8. Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Mentioning the word ‘jota’ in the company of a well-read supercar aficionado will always produce a wobbly-kneed reaction. The first one was Lamborghini’s test driver Bob Wallace’s pet project to up the performance level of the legendary Miura and to make the car ready for FIA sports car racing. There was only ever one prototype built, and it burnt to a cinder before it could sire a very special limited-edition production run. The Aventador SVJ is only the second Lamborghini since Wallace’s Miura to wear the ‘jota’ nameplate (which is what the J suffix stands for). It is also a tribute to the firm’s all-important and totally inimitable lineage of big, mid-engined, twelve-cylinder, harem-scarem supercars, which included the Diablo, Murcielago, Countach and Miura – and which is due to be transformed somewhat with the Aventador replacement, since the firm is set to change the recipe of its bigger series-production supercar by adding electrification. Big, wide, heavy and searingly rapid, this is a car demanding physical effort, bodily compromise and plenty of commitment to drive to its fullest. A cramped and quite dated cabin will test your enthusiasm first; after that, the violence of the car’s full bore gear changes, the savagery of its outright pace and the intensity of the concentration needed to find the limit of its grip level are your next challenges to overcome.Negotiate all, however, and the Aventador SVJ gives a driving experience of almost unmatched rawness and attitude. Wrestling it to a fast lap is a more rewarding experience than you’ll find almost anywhere, in a era in which the business of going fast is being made ever easier. Like your hardcore thrills physically testing and deliciously old-school in flavour? This Lambo is in a league of one. Back to top 9. Lotus Exige Cup 430 This is nothing less than the quickest street-legal production car that Lotus has ever made. Significantly modified from Hethel’s Sport 380 specification, the Cup 430 has a supercharged V6 engine good for 430bhp and shared with the Evora GT430; but it run-out 'Final Edition' spec it weighs just 1098kg without fluids, making it good for a claimed 0-62mph sprint of 3.2sec. Top speed is 174mph, in a car that also makes hundreds of kilograms of downforce, so it's capable of lapping Lotus’s home test track more than a second quicker than the car it replaces. On road or track, the Cup 430 feels ferociously fast and intensely engaging to a level that no modern Lotus has previously reached. It’s a car without Hethel’s usual preference for a supple, breathing road ride, but it has three-way adjustable dampers and adjustable ant-roll bars so can be set up to your preference. In standard setting, it’s certainly firm enough to test your enthusiasm for it; and its cabin is as tight and frippery-free as Exiges have ever been. On the track, the car’s handling is little short of magnificent. Such a light car doesn’t punish its mechanicals too hard and can be driven hard lap after lap without showing a hint of wilting under pressure. It’s a driving experience that rewards the investment of effort and commitmen t with vivid excitement, huge speed and handling that’s supremely agile and balanced — albeit quite scary in wet conditions. Production ends in 2021, hence the introduction of the Final Edition model (regular Cup 430 pictured), so if you want to secure one of the most inimitable trackday cars ever made, and secure one from new, now's the time.

Nissan GT-R Nismo That Nissan can even throw punches in the same category as McLaren shows how well it has developed the GT-R, which has recently reappeared in hardcore Nismo guise some 13 years after the original R35-generation car made it debut. This latest iteration gets lighter, fast-spooling turbochargers for the 3.7-litre V6, enormous ceramic brakes, unmissable aero addenda (including wheelarch vents) and plenty of carbonfibre in the body. Power remains at 592bhp, but the price has risen to an unseemly £175,000… The problem, as ever, is that the GT-R is fundamentally a heavy car, and one with a high centre of gravity in relation to everything else here. It scrapes into this list by virtue of its enormous pace and personality, rather than its sense of finesse or, indeed, satisfaction. Save money with new GT-R deals from What Car?

Subaru cars, tuning of which is gaining more and more po[CENSORED]rity among Russians, are distinguished by their reliability and high build quality. Cars of this brand are powerful enough, but this does not prevent folk craftsmen from looking for new ways to make cars even more dynamic and faster. Tuning Subaru - revision of "Japanese" without harm to the budget Subaru cars, tuning of which is gaining more and more po[CENSORED]rity among Russians, are distinguished by their reliability and high build quality. Cars of this brand are quite powerful, but this does not prevent folk craftsmen from looking for new ways to make cars even more dynamic and faster. Content Zero-filter under the hood - selection and self-assembly Improving aerodynamics - installation of body kits on Japanese cars Refinement of the rear-view mirror - install the registrar 1 Zero-filter under the hood - selection and self-assembly Many owners of Japanese cars are convinced that their cars can do much more than indicated in the data sheets. To do this, it is not necessary to order or do the chip tuning of the car yourself. Of course, with it, the car will only benefit, but this method requires a long search for firmware and the purchase of licensed programs. In some cases, and specifically in the case of Subaru, you can get by with replacing the standard filter. Do not forget that not all parts meet the quality declared by the manufacturer. On the Russian market, for several years now, experts consider zero filters from the Raid company to be the optimal and inexpensive option. These spare parts have excellent flow capacity, protect the fuel system from dust and small insects. These parts are also very easy to maintain and durable. In addition to the zero filter, for tuning you will need to prepare: flat and Phillips screwdrivers; set of keys No. 15-18; pliers; clean rags and soapy water; candle key. First of all, you need to disconnect the fuel sensor terminal from the car battery. Next, turn off the fuel pipes and use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the bolts holding the platform for the spark plug. We unscrew the candle, remove the platform and dismantle the top protection of the standard filter. After that we insert a flat screwdriver and unscrew the fasteners of the lower protection. We pull the filter towards ourselves and carefully remove it without breaking the wiring. After that, moisten the rags and carefully clean the place for installing the new filter. Another, but already dry cloth, can also be used to clean the ends of the pipes. Finally, we put a new filter in place under the hood. To install it, you can use old platforms from the standard Subaru filter, but it is best to install the stands from the kit of a new part. Next, we connect the steam pipes, fasten the candle and its support and connect the terminal. The result of the work was an increase in power of 25 liters. from. Decreased acceleration time and fuel consumption. The exhaust pipe began to emit less recycled gases, and they became much safer. 2 Improvement of aerodynamics - installation of body kits on Japanese cars Many Subaru drivers know that tuning a car cannot be imagined without installing new body kits. These parts significantly change the appearance of the car. And, importantly, with the right selection, they will help speed up the car. Regardless of which Subaru model lends itself to refinement, new door sills are sure to be bought for it. In the case of passenger cars, a spoiler will not be superfluous. And the higher and wider it is, the better. New bumpers and skirts are selected based on budget. An important nuance - you should not install only the front or only the rear bumper. In this case, either the front or the rear of the car will become heavier, and this will negatively affect the car's handling. Besides, it is simply not beautiful and harmonious. Body kits for subaru With the installation of new bumpers, everything is very simple. To do this, the car must be lifted with a jack - this will make it easier to remove the regular bumper. After that, the factory part is removed - for this you need to unscrew the front and rear bolts, and then clean the body of dirt and rust. Finally, try on a new part. If necessary, trim it with a grinder, then put it on the car. Installing door sills also does not take much time and effort. First you need to remove the old elements. After that, we apply new pads and cut them to size so that they do not hang outside the thresholds. The parts are fixed using the fasteners from the kit. Installing the spoiler will require precision. It will be easier if the car is already equipped with a rear wing from the factory. However, if it was not there, then you will have to drill holes. Before that, you need to measure the exact distance between the spoiler pillars so that it fits exactly into the holes made. After tuning, Subaru will take on a completely different look. The car will become more aggressive, which will allow it to quickly stand out among many of the same type of city cars. 3 Refinement of the rear-view mirror - install the registrar One of the advantages of Subaru models has always been considered a decent interior. The Japanese manufacturer never skimped on parts and materials, because there were always very few drivers who experienced discomfort while driving. However, time does not stand still, and more and more car enthusiasts resort to tuning the interior of Subaru models. Very often, drivers combine a rear-view mirror and a DVR. With the help of this method of refinement, the driver does not have to look for a place to install the device and worry about being stolen from the passenger compartment. Rear Mirror Recorder For tuning, you need to buy a registrar and disassemble it into parts. You also need to remove the mirror in the cabin and unscrew its back cover. We attach the recorder display to the mirror. In order for the device buttons to be located in the upper part of the mirror, you need to separate them from the display along with a board soldered to them. We fasten the buttons with screws. To mount the recorder camera, you need to cut a ball out of a piece of propylene tube. The diameter inside the tube must match the size of the chamber. If necessary, we cut off the parts of the rear wall of the mirror so that the entire board fits into the case. After that, we solder all the parts together. To connect the appliance, you need to route the wiring under the headliner. After that, we connect the wires to the battery terminal as indicated in the instructions for the recorder.
