A subsidiary of Boon Rawd Brewery, the first brewery established in Thailand, Singha Corporation has produced the eponymous beer since 1933: Its unmistakable taste and the trademark mystical golden lion logo featured on each bottle are now synonymous with Thailand itself. Alongside Singha, the original Thai beer, Singha Corporation produces other major beer brands and a growing range of sodas and mineral waters, catering for a wide range of tastes and consumers.

With a long and successful history in motorsport, both at home in Thailand and globally, Singha Corporation joined the Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN family in 2019 and is ready to deploy a new, exciting activation programme featuring the team’s drivers, Zhou Guanyu and Valtteri Bottas.

Singha Corporation logos will be visible in prominent locations on the team’s car, the C42, as well as on the team kit and the drivers’ suits.

Sports betting has come a long way. Today, there are a plethora of sports that punters can wager on, from football to eSports. We have also seen motorsport betting become mainstream over the years, in part due to improvements in television coverage, including the Sky Sports F1 channel. Improved TV coverage has provided bettors with the necessary information, such as real-time stats, that they need to make an informed decision before placing a bet on Formula 1, NASCAR, or Speedway.

Yet, sports are not a constant; there will always be an emerging niche that steals the spotlight. This reality is why motorsport betting needs to stay innovative to attract and retain new audiences. Fortunately, the betting industry has long understood this. That’s why the top sportsbooks (with casinos attached) offer new but promising games, such as Slingo, which is growing throughout the UK and combines slots with bingo. For instance, you can now play a Slingo game on Betfair, a popular online casino and sportsbook that offers poker, slots, and roulette in addition to odds on Formula 1, Formula E, NASCAR and the World Rally Championship competition.

But how does the motorsport betting business achieve something similar? Can online casinos and sportsbooks start offering odds on new and emerging areas of motorsport to attract more fans, just like they’ve done with offering hybrid casino games? The answer is yes — and we’re already seeing it happen.

Growing The Motorsport Betting Industry In New Ways

When people start shopping around for a used car, they tend to look for a vehicle that’s around three years old. Generally, buyers are looking for that used car “sweet spot” – which makes perfect sense.

Depending on the model and mileage, a three-year-old car is typically half the price of when it was new, but it can still run for many years to come.

Of course, there are plenty of decent cars that are more than five years old at King of Cars in Pasadena – you just need to remember that they may end up costing more in repairs than their younger counterparts.

Here’s everything you need to know about the process of buying your next used car and what to expect.   

Step One: Get Your Finances in Order

Continuous technological advancements have allowed self-driving cars to come to fruition. What was once merely a dream of the future in the past, has now become commercially available to all. 

The utilization of these said vehicles is what’s commonly referred to as autonomous or automated driving. Despite the big leaps forward with modern-day inventions such as these, car accidents remain a leading cause of death in many countries around the globe. 

Safety should naturally be the priority of all drivers, no matter the vehicle in question. With that in mind, listed below are six tips that can help beginners and veterans alike drive autonomous vehicles safely.

1. Avoid Overreliance On The System

Although autonomous cars are designed to drive themselves, there remain several instances on the road where human cognition is still necessary and should be prioritized. 

So you get lawyers, and you get lawyers. Yes, you get lawyers of all types, shapes, and sizes with very different practice styles and personalities.

Personal injury law is an extensive area of the law. It covers a wide range of personal injury scenarios from birth accidents to car accidents, construction accidents and everything in between.

Personal injury cases can be complicated. A good understanding of the law and an excellent medical understanding of procedures and treatments are required. 

High-value claims often take months or even years to arrive at a resolution.  This means you may be in it for the long haul with your attorney.  If you choose a lawyer you cannot get on with, you could be in for an unpleasant experience.

Formula 1 continues to be rocked by the hugely controversial outcome of last season’s final lap title victory for Max Verstappen in Abu Dhabi still reverberating around the sporting world.

Now that Verstappen has broken his duck, he will be the man to beat and how Lewis Hamilton would love to instantly hit back and pick up his record-breaking 8th world championship title.

In the aftermath of the title win last year, F1 race director Michael Masi got the chop – with some of his decisions coming under scrutiny and change looks to be afoot in the administrative department of Formula 1.

How much that will impact on the runners and riders remains to be seen, with both Verstappen and his key title rival Lewis Hamilton having been outspoken about the previous F1 administrations.

Elsewhere, the emergence of George Russell has been a story all F1 fans have been tracking and in joining Mercedes, he looks to be a genuine candidate to push all the way next season too.

Formula 1 and NASCAR are both top-level motorsports, but that is where the similarity ends. They are like chalk and cheese in comparison. NASCAR is more about brute force and raw power, whereas Formula 1 focuses on finesse and overall driving skill. Despite the many differences between F1 and NASCAR, several F1 drivers have crossed over to NASCAR or at least want to jump into an American muscle car and blast it around an oval track.

The 2007 Formula One champion Kimi Raikkonen left Ferrari at the end of the 2009 season and turned his attention to rallying, making his debut at the Arctic Lapland Rally in January 2009. The Finn spent the next couple of years blasting around rally courses before trying his hand at NASCAR, starting with the Camping World Truck Series. His foray into NASCAR did not last overly long because he crashed Robby Gordon Motorsports’ car during testing, and a deal fell through. Raikkonen would have raced at the Toyota/Save Mart 350 had he not had had his accident.

Montoya Made a Successful NASCAR Crossover

Colombia’s Juan Pablo Montoya is the biggest name to have enjoyed NASCAR success. Montoya sensationally quit F1 in 2006 to embark on a NASCAR career. The Colombian found himself among the favourites in the latest Daytona 500 bets due to his unquestionable driving skills. Montoya competed in 255 races over nine years in the NASCAR Cup Series, winning two, finishing in the top ten 59 times, and finding himself on pole position on nine occasions. He finished eighth in the 2009 standings, his best-ever position.

Montoya also competed in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, although his career was short-lived. He raced 23 times over three years, enjoying three top tens and an outright victory. Montoya retired from NASCAR in 2014 but stayed in the United States and became an IndyCar driver.

It’s the start of a new era for Ferrari in the world of virtual motor racing, as the FDA Esports Team becomes the Scuderia Ferrari Velas Esports Team. It signals the arrival of a new title partner, Velas, one of the most efficient blockchain networks available, known for the performance and innovation of the services it offers. The Gestione Sportiva will also be more directly involved in a field that is going through continuous expansion, as it attracts a growing young audience. Scuderia Ferrari Velas Esports Team will take part in the F1 Esports Series Pro Championship as well as some sports car championships to be announced shortly.

The first big news of 2022 is a brand-new look and name for the team, which from this year will be called Scuderia Ferrari Velas Esports Team thanks to its new Title Sponsor: Velas, a Swiss company focused on the creation and integration of technological products and services and led by a diverse team of engineers, cryptographers, researchers, and mathematicians. The main star of the blockchain and NFT sector, Velas has distinguished itself for the performance and innovativeness of the services offered, characteristics that unite it to the Maranello team.

Kamil Pawlowsky, the 24-year-old Polish driver who won the last edition of the Ferrari Esports Series in a dramatic fight in the final few corners at Mugello in December, joins the team that has just been renewed in looks and names for the coming season. To mark this momentous occasion, official Scuderia Ferrari drivers, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz welcomed Kamil on his arrival in Italy, presenting the talented esports driver with his Ferrari Esports Series champion’s trophy, one of the many highlights that are sure to come the way of the newest member of the Scuderia Ferrari Velas Esports squad in 2022.

Over 30 thousand drivers battled last year in the ‘Ferrari Esports Series’ championship, certifying an even greater achievement than the previous edition, which continues to prove a resounding year-on-year success with the public and media alike. The date to mark in the calendar for the start of the new season of the Ferrari Velas Esports Series 2022 is March 22nd at 9.00 pm CET. A special streaming event on the Ferrari Twitch channel will launch the new season, with various special guests set to take part in the broadcast, and public registrations will officially open.

With so many people using smartphones and laptops to play games these days, the gaming industry for online casino software has exploded. Which online gaming industry company is responsible for creating your favourite casino games? The answer is the software providers. These companies use an online platform to offer gambling and internet services to create top online casino games that work across multiple devices. They achieve this through a vast selection of games, including slots, roulette, baccarat, and blackjack.

A cloud-based software provider powers the most popular online gambling sites. These companies feature big-name games, but they also develop their own proprietary titles that let players enjoy the very best casino experiences possible on any device with an internet connection. That’s why so many of these top-table game apps have a similar feel to other casino games.

Since there is so much competition in the online casino industry, these top casino software providers regularly update their platforms with new and improved titles. This way, they can ensure that players get access to a wide variety of slots machines from different companies without having any bugs or glitches to worry about.

The advent of social online gambling

The best online gambling sites also have a social component, which helps players connect with their fellow gamers to make the most out of every casino experience. These software providers can create more engaging experiences like online slots for users by allowing them to play multiplayer games and send virtual gifts back and forth with other players.

Red Bull Racing is coming off a fantastic season in Formula 1. Max Verstappen knocked off Lewis Hamilton to win the Driver Championship, and the team finished in second in the Constructor Championship to Mercedes by 28 points. However, there is a lot of uncertainty heading into the 2022 season for the team.

If you have looked at the best sports betting sites, such as BetMGM you have probably noticed that Red Bull is currently positioned in second behind Mercedes, at +300 compared to the reigning champions at -165. This is because Honda has stepped away from Formula 1, which helped Red Bull rise to prominence.

Verstappen will play a critical role in keeping Red Bull alive in 2022, but Sergio Perez will be just as essential. Perez, or Checo as he is referred to, feels confident about his car following testing in Barcelona. Ferrari seemed to have the best cars, but Red Bull stepped up with rumours of uncertainty.

Sergio Perez Strong Testing

Sergio Perez still has many things to work on, but he felt very good following an intense testing session in Barcelona. The season’s first race is scheduled for March 20 in the Bahrain Grand Prix.

Checo finished 152 laps in the practice session, which was 11th overall over the three days. This number may not seem significant, but the more minor details show Perez had an excellent weekend.
