The four-rings brand confirms it's participation in Formula One (F1) ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix. It is OFFICIAL: Audi is joining Formula 1. Rumors have persisted for years even that Formula 1 would gain a new manufacturer (or several). For the most part, the speculation has bounced between either Audi or Porsche joining the popular motorsport. With Audi making a much quicker transition to alternative fuels and electrification, it seemed more likely that Porsche would be the Volkswagen Group brand to jump into F1, not the other way around. But, in recent months the whispers around the paddock mentioned Audi more and more. Finally, during a "special" press conference held just before the Belgian Grand Prix weekend kicks off, Audi made it official, stating it has put in motion plans to join Formula 1 in 2026. The press conference included FIA President Mohammed bin Sulayem, F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali, Audi AG CEO Markus Duesmann, and Audi Chief Technical Offi

The first ever 3D-printed steel bridge has opened in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. It was created by robotic arms using welding torches to deposit the structure of the bridge layer by layer, and is made of 4500 kilograms of stainless steel. The 12-metre-long MX3D Bridge was built by four commercially available industrial robots and took six months to print. The structure was transported to its location over the Oudezijds Achterburgwal canal in central Amsterdam last week and is now open to pedestrians and cyclists. More than a dozen sensors attached to the bridge after the printing was completed will monitor strain, movement, vibration and temperature across the structure as people pass over it and the weather changes. This data will be fed into a digital model of the bridge. Engineers will use this model to study the properties of the unique material and will employ machine learning to spot any trends in the data that could indicate maintenance or modification is necessary.

  This Heavily Modified Tesla Model 3 Is No Carbon Copy ADRO puts the finishing carbon fiber touches on a one-of-a-kind Tesla project. Whether or not you're on board with the EV movement that's all but taken over the automotive news space in recent years, things are changing, and changing quickly. What was once considered the alternative is inching its way toward becoming the standard. For CJ Cardinalli, the jump from gasoline to electric power was one that he happily made without any hesitation back in 2018 when he got his hands on this Tesla Model 3.  A Passion For Building During his college days, CJ was commuting throughout Long Beach in a BMW 328i when he began tinkering with modifications and soon realized he had a passion for customizing. That car would soon get traded up to an E36 M3 fitted with an Active Autowerke supercharger kit, then later a Technique Tuning turbo kit in route to building a very complete and competitive show-level M3. The M3
