#Piloted

Turkey recently hosted Teknofest Istanbul, its premier Aerospace and Technology Festival, highlighting the nation’s rapid technological advancements. A standout event was the ultimate drag race at Istanbul’s new airport, featuring an eclectic lineup: a Red Bull Racing F1 car, a Kawasaki Ninja H2R, an F-16 fighter jet from the Turkish Air Force, a Challenger 605 private jet, and road-legal cars like the Aston Martin Vantage, Lotus Evora GT430, and Tesla Model S P100DL. Red Bull Racing’s Jake Dennis piloted the F1 car, while former motorcycle racer Kenan Sofuoglu rode the Ninja H2R. The race ended with the Kawasaki Ninja H2R narrowly taking victory in 9.43 seconds, edging out the F1 car by just 0.04 seconds, with the F-16 fighter jet securing third place. This event perfectly captured the spirit of Teknofest: innovation, speed, and cutting-edge technology. #racing #f1 #motorsport #dragrace

Porsche or BMW? 🤔 The 2025 Nürburgring 24 Hours delivered a legendary duel between two factory-backed titans on the treacherous 15.7-mile Nordschleife. Kevin Estre piloted the iconic neon “Grello” Manthey Racing #911 Porsche 911 GT3 R, a rear-engine, flat-six machine known for its cornering precision and high-speed stability, alongside teammates Ayhancan Güven and Thomas Preining. They fought fiercely against the ROWE Racing BMW M4 GT3 EVO, driven by Jesse Krohn, Augusto Farfus, Raffaele Marciello, and Kelvin van der Linde, a front-engine, twin-turbo straight-six with brutal power delivery and high-speed grunt. For nearly the entire 24 hours, the cars traded seconds through traffic, rain, and darkness on the Green Hell’s blind crests, sweeping curves, and concrete-walled forest paths. The battle ended in controversy when Estre’s Porsche was penalized 100 seconds post-race for contact with a slower GT4 car while being chased by the BMW, handing ROWE a dramatic last-minute victory. What are your thoughts? 🤔💭 ( Media: 2025 Nürburgring 24 Hours / ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring ) #motorsport #racing #porsche #bmw #nurburgring
