Less power, bigger passing chances: NASCAR's Daytona upgrade targets superspeedway drama

Motorsport.com argues NASCAR’s Daytona rules package—reducing superspeedway horsepower from 510 to 465 hp, cutting the spoiler, tweaking underbody aero, and changing drop gear ratios—will recreate earlier aero conditions and keep cars in the power band longer, promoting more passing and exciting racing rather than fuel-saving strategies, and narrowing the gap between pack and single-car runs to about 10–11 mph.

Daytona Cup package tweaks aim to boost passing and competition

NASCAR announced Daytona’s superspeedway package will be adjusted for the Aug. 29 Coke Zero Sugar 400: the rear spoiler will shrink from 7 to 4 inches and horsepower will drop from 510 to 465 to reduce drag, with race officials predicting faster solo runs but similar speeds in packs. The goal is to create more overtaking opportunities and less track-position dependence, a move reflected in comments from Denny Hamlin and pundits, as part of broader speedway-racing tweaks including Talladega stage-length changes.

Cervélo Soloist gains aero edge and lighter frame, adds premium SRAM Red option

Cervélo's updated Soloist adds an 8.6W aero gain and sheds 276 g from the frame kit, while introducing a top-end SRAM Red Soloist at £9,000 / $11,000. Every model includes a power meter, and the bike retains 36 mm tyre clearance, aero bottles, and a redesigned aero cockpit (HB18). The range runs from £5,500 / $6,800 for the Rival-equipped model up to £9,000 / $11,000 for the Red version.

Specialized Unveils the Tarmac SL9, Promising a 14-Second Edge for the Fastest Road Bike

Specialized has launched the S-Works Tarmac SL9, a new flagship aero road bike with a deeper Flow Fork, a curved Win Fin seat tube and a narrower head tube/seatpost. It leverages the Equation of Speed—a physics-based, Formula 1–style simulation—to optimize aerodynamics, weight, rolling resistance and other factors, claiming time advantages on major courses (e.g., 14 seconds faster than the SL8 on the last 80km of the 2024 Tour de France Femmes) and similar margins on other routes. The bike reportedly weighs about 6.5 kg in full builds (687 g frame) and starts at around $13,500–$14,000 for the SL9, with tyre clearance around 32 mm (30 mm on the top-spec) and a narrowed cockpit; at launch only the S-Works model is revealed, with more models to come later.

Aero gravel showdown: Crux 5 edges rivals in wind tunnel test as Argon 18 leads bike-only

Aero gravel showdown: Crux 5 edges rivals in wind tunnel test as Argon 18 leads bike-only

Wind-tunnel testing of aero gravel bikes at 35 km/h compares current models. Argon 18 Anti Matter posts the best bike-only drag numbers, Specialized Crux 5 leads the rider-on results by a razor-thin margin, and Wilier Rave sits close; Pinarello Dogma GR and Reap Type 300 are within the margin of top spot. The study also shows tyre clearance and wheel choice matter: wider tyres (up to 57–61mm) reduce rolling resistance and drag, and a wheel upgrade can swing watts by several points (Lauf Seigla benefiting most). Overall, aero and clearance plus rider position drive gravel-bike performance far more than any single factor.

Ferrari’s Bahrain aero upgrade branded uncopyable by F1 rivals

RacingNews365 reports Ferrari’s Bahrain pre-season test featured a heavily upgraded SF‑26 aero package, including a rear‑exhaust flow device (FTM) and a gearbox redesigned to allow a cantilevered rear aero within the 60mm overhang limit; analysts say this regulatory constraint makes the upgrade effectively uncopyable for rivals, with Ferrari also showing a dramatic inverted rear‑wing in the same test.

Syncros Unveils Revolutionary One-Piece Carbon Fiber Capital SL Wheelsets

Syncros has launched the one-piece carbon fiber Capital SL wheelsets, which weigh just 1170g for the 40mm depth option and 1290g for the 60mm depth option. The wheels feature a 7% reduction in aero drag when used with the new Schwalbe Pro One Aero tires. The rims and spokes are constructed as one piece, resulting in lower rotating mass and increased stiffness. The hookless bead rims provide a smoother transition from the tire to the rim, reducing drag. The wheelsets have been optimized for aerodynamics and rolling resistance, and will be used by Team DSM-Firmenich in the upcoming Tour de France time trial.
