Enthusiasm for mixed martial arts, and UFC's content specifically has only grown since the previous deal was struck back in 2018, and a considerable uplift is expected. The rising values of sports rights is certainly an encouraging backdrop – note that the NBA nearly tripled the value of its own rights in a deal only last year. To put TKO's aspirations in context, management genuinely believes UFC could one day supplant baseball's position as one of Lindsell train the USA's top 3 favourite sports, alongside American football and basketball." joe-hernandez-OebdsI0Q4F0-unsplash TKO Group Holdings, Inc.

Corvette ZR1 Teases Nürburgring Lap, And The World Is Watching

Besides the occasional luddite who believes that a Corvette can only be a front-engine car and that boost should only be built using a supercharger, the majority of car enthusiasts have been impressed by the new Corvette ZR1. For those who still aren't convinced that a mid-mounted and turbocharged engine is a positive step forward, Corvette has just teased the one performance metric we don't yet have: a Nürburgring lap time. In a short clip shared on social media (embedded further down in this article), the new ZR1 is simply described as being "Fast as Green Hell." The release of a short teaser clip is usually the final step before the lap is revealed, so we may not have all that long to wait to see what has been achieved. Given that the ZR1 has 1,064 horsepower and that the current American record-holder at the Nordschleife, the Mustang GTD, has only 850 hp and a front-engine layout, everybody expects the new ZR1 to rewrite the record books. An ex-Corvette engineer has suggested that the ZR1 might even break the overall circuit record currently held by the Mercedes-AMG ONE, and after the world's first independent dyno run for a ZR1 revealed much higher numbers than anticipated, the most insane Corvette yet seems set up for success. But it's not the only 'Vette that may be preparing to make an announcement from Germany. A recent report from CorvetteBlogger claimed that Chevrolet has been lapping multiple C8 Corvette variants at the Nürburgring, including the ZR1, the AWD ZR1X, and the Z06, which boasts the most powerful naturally aspirated production V8 engine in history. GM has never posted official lap times for any C7 or C8 Corvette, so this could be the beginning of a new strategy to further convince the world that a Corvette can box with the best of them and win. And we really do think it can win. The AMG ONE's lap record is set at 6:29, and the teaser clip was shared on social media platforms on June 28 (6/28)... Will Chevrolet soon be claiming naturally aspirated, RWD, AWD, and overall records? We'll report back as soon as we have the answers.
