A Piece Of Heaven On Earth Has A New Owner
Volvo's and Lotus' owners just bought a Utah racetrack
Expansive Utah Motorsports Campus covers 511 acres
Chinese automaker Geely, owner of Volvo and Lotus, continues to expand on a global scale. After an announcement earlier this week that it has invested in building "supersonic trains" in its home country, the company also officially confirmed the purchase of the Utah Motorsports Campus.
The Utah Motorsports Campus, located west of Salt Lake City and just south of the Great Salt Lake, is a massive automotive dreamland. Totaling 511 acres, it includes an adjustable 4.4-mile road track, a 0.9-mile configurable kart track, an off-road course, a rock-crawling course, and a rallycross track. It also includes numerous buildings suitable for race teams and garages, all with a gorgeous background of snowcapped mountains.

Did You Know - Tires Edition
Here's Why Tires Are Black
“Original tires had a lighter shade because of the natural color of rubber,” a company representative told me. “Carbon black [a fine manufactured soot] was added to the rubber compound in [circa 1917] and produced a tenfold increase in wear resistance.”
This increased longevity is confirmed by award-winning chemical engineer Jack Koenig, who says in his book Spectroscopy of Polymers that a tire without carbon black would last “less than 5,000 miles.” Consider that most tires are driven between 12,000 and 15,000 miles a year, and are meant to last three or four years or more, and you get how low that was.
The Michelin spokesperson went on, saying carbon black represents about a quarter to 30 percent of the composition of the rubber used in tires today, and in addition to making them more wear resistant, the material that gives tires their black color is also good at protecting tires against ultraviolet rays that can cause cracking, and it also improves grip and general road handling.
