Fowler Welch takes 21 Mercedes-Benz Actros
Spalding, UK: Fowler Welch has taken delivery of 21 Mercedes-Benz new-generation Actros tractors.
Fowler Welch operates a core fleet of some 450 tractor units and 800 trailers. Maurizio Romano, head of fleet, Fowler Welch, said: "The evaluation outputs on the Actros we trialled earlier in the year were certainly favourable.
"Fuel-efficient trucks are vital, not only because of the contribution they make to our 'bottom line', but also because one of Fowler Welch's core objectives is to do everything possible to reduce our carbon footprint."
Fowler Welch's latest Mercedes-Benz tractors were supplied by Sparshatt Truck & Van, and operate from Teynham, Kent. Like the units which joined the company's fleet in 2018, all are Actros 2545 models with flat-floored BigSpace cabs and 450hp in-line six-cylinder engines.
The new arrivals, however, are from the fifth-generation Actros range, which in November won for Mercedes-Benz a record ninth International Truck of the Year title. New features include MirrorCam, which replaces conventional mirrors to give better safety as well as fuel consumption from streamlined profile of the camera housings; Multimedia Cockpit; and an enhanced version of the Predictive Powertrain Control system, which makes a more substantial contribution to economy, while also ensuring that life at the wheel is easier for drivers.
Fowler Welch initiated and worked closely with Mercedes-Benz Trucks and Sparshatt Truck & Van on a painstakingly thorough 'pre-life' programme, to ensure that everything was in place before the trucks arrived. This covered everything from driver training, and the familiarisation for members of its Teynham-based team with key personnel and the aftersales support available from new service provider Sparshatt, to arrangements for regular performance reviews, and the manufacturer's 'road map' for further advances in technology.
"Driver engagement and operational feedback were also very important factors in the decision-making process," Romano said. "We don't underestimate the impact on drivers and local teams of asking them to change from one make of truck to another, so it was important that their views were also considered."
"Our relationship with Mercedes-Benz is still a relatively new one but it's fair to say that Fowler Welch has been extremely pleased with the support it's received, both during the procurement process, and in laying the necessary groundwork prior to delivery of the vehicles to site.
"Mercedes-Benz Trucks' Key Account Manager Leanne Clark has been incredibly supportive, and the same goes for Sparshatt. Having executed the 'pre-life' element well between us, the focus now switches to the 'in life' phase.
"We'll certainly be very interested to see how the drivers progress with MirrorCam, and to get a better feel for the benefits it offers from a safety perspective. I've been particularly impressed, too, with the strength of the Mercedes-Benz Dealer network, and am optimistic that the great relationships we've developed will help to ensure that when we need a particularly quick response – maybe on delivery of a part, or getting a truck back on the road – that's exactly what we will get."

Brockport's winning streak ended by Potsdam
The College at Brockport ice hockey team had its program-record, seven-game win streak snapped at home on Saturday. Brockport fell to Potsdam, 4-2, after the visiting Bears netted three goals in the third period.
The Green and Gold move to 12-7 overall and 6-5 in SUNYAC play after splitting the weekend with one win and one loss.
Corey Tam got the action started with a one timer coming right after a face-off in the offensive zone. Doc Gentzler won the puck drop in Ethan Solat's direction, who found Tam for the score. The 1-0 lead would stand until Jeremy Solat scored an unassisted goal later in the period to put Brockport up 2-0. Potsdam got on the board late in the first to make the score read 2-1 at the first intermission.
After a scoreless period in the second, it all came down to the third period. Potsdam scored two quick goals just inside of three minutes left in regulation to take a 3-2 lead. The Golden Eagles pulled the goalie to add an extra skater in the final moments to try and tie it up, but the visiting team found a way to score on the empty net putting the game away.
Senior goaltender Matt Schneider came up with 25 saves on the day, as the team was outshot 29-17 by Potsdam.
Brockport sets program record with 7th straight win
The College at Brockport ice hockey team set a new program record with its seventh win in a row Friday night, defeating Plattsburgh 4-1 at home. Brockport, on its longest win streak in program history, is now 12-6 overall and 6-4 in SUNYAC play.
Ryan Romeo put the Green and Gold on the board first with a one-timer, rocket on the power play. Connor Hutchins assisted on the first goal of the contest, as Brockport went up 1-0 early in the first.
Plattsburgh responded with a power play score of its own just minutes later to tie the game up at 1-1. However, the Golden Eagles would have the perfect response playing down a skater. Danny Rock got Jordan Renaud the puck for the short-handed goal to take the lead back at 2-1.
Entering the second period up by a goal and on the power play once again, Romeo found the back of the net for another score to put Brockport up 3-1 in the first minute of the second. Anthony Hora and Connor Hutchins were credited with assists.
In desperation in the final minutes of the third period, Plattsburgh pulled the goalie to add a skater. Jake Colosanti took advantage of the empty net with the team's third power play goal of the evening with assists from Ethan Solat and Corey Tam. The final score of the night put the game away, as Brockport took the 4-1 win over its SUNYAC opponent.
Senior goaltender Matt Schneider made 24 saves in the contest, playing the full 60 minutes for the Green and Gold. Ryan Romeo tallied two goals on three shots in the game. Colosanti and Renaud each found the back of the net once for the team.
Connor Hutchins made two assists in the win to lead the team. Tam, Solat, Rock, and Hora all registered one assist to aid Brockport's efforts. The team won the faceoff battle, 34-28, on the night and went 3-for-8 on the power play.

The College at Brockport ice hockey team is back in action this weekend with two home games. Brockport will host Plattsburgh for a 7 pm start on Friday night and then play Potsdam at home Saturday starting at 4 pm.
Jimmy Z's Night: Friday night's matchup with Plattsburgh is Jimmy Z's Night at the Tuttle North Ice Arena. The first 150 fans to arrive in the arena will receive a free gift courtesy of Jimmy Z's and Jimmy himself will be manning the t-shirt cannon in-between periods.
Fill the Nest: It's Jimmy Z's Night and it's the first home athletic event on campus since classes started for the new semester. Come out, show support, and have some fun at the Tuttle North Ice Arena Friday night and help fill the nest for this big time SUNYAC conference matchup. Brockport is just one spot above Plattsburgh in the conference standings heading into the weekend.
Last Time Out: The Golden Eagles defeated Albertus Magnus College convincingly on the road in their last game, 4-0, to put a stamp on a successful four game road trip.

Colosanti finished with two goals in the game, while Corey Tam and Jeremy Solat each had two assists. Goaltender Aidan Curry completed the shutout with 26 total saves between the pipes.
Hot Streak: The Green and Gold have been on a tear lately, winning six games in a row to start the 2020 calendar year. Since the new year started the team has defeated Neumann, King's, Lebanon Valley, Stevenson, Anna Maria, and Albertus Magnus. Brockport has been hot with most of its games on the road during the win streak. The team looks to continue its strong play as it returns to SUNYAC competition this weekend.
Clutching out Wins: During this winning streak on the ice, the Golden Eagles have won four games that have been decided by just one goal including two overtime wins. In a 5-4 win over Neumann, they scored four goals in the third period for a comeback win at home. Doc Gentzler was the hero with the game winning goal against King's College, as Brockport won 5-4 in overtime. The team pulled out another close one against Lebanon Valley with a 4-3 victory on the road. Its second overtime win during this stretch came at #11 Stevenson, who was ranked tenth in the country at the time, as Connor Hutchins buried the game-winner in overtime.

Helping Hands: Ryan Romeo has the most assists on the squad heading into the weekend with 13 to go with his five goals. Doc Gentzler also has double-digit assists, tallying 11 so far. Connor Hutchins, Danny Rock, and Renaud all have helped on nine goals this season.
Wearing Shots: It takes toughness on defense to sacrifice the body to block an incoming shot in front of the net. Defensemen Casey Winn and Corey Tam lead the team in blocks on the year. Winn has interrupted 15 shots so far, while Tam has 10 blocks defensively. Hunter Laslo and Romeo have contributed in the defensive zone as well with 15 blocks combined.
Between the Pipes: With a 7-4 record in the net and one shutout to his credit, Matt Schneider is the team's leading goaltender. Schneider has made 305 saves this season, as he eclipsed the 1,000-career saves mark earlier in the year. He also has a saves percentage of .892 as a senior. Aidan Curry recently recorded the first shutout of his collegiate career against Albertus Magnus and has made 46 saves on the season with a 2-0 record as a freshman.
Scouting Plattsburgh: The Cardinals are currently 6-8-2 overall this season and have a 3-3-1 mark in the SUNYAC. After winning two straight, the team tied its last game against #15 Williams, 2-2. Plattsburgh is 3-0-1 in its last four conference games, including a 7-5 win over Potsdam. In the last meeting between these two teams, Brockport came out on top with a 3-1 win last year.
Scouting Potsdam: The Bears are 3-13-1 overall and 2-6-1 in conference play ahead of the weekend. They will be facing off against #3 Geneseo on Friday before coming to Brockport Saturday.

It appeared as if the game might extend into extra time, until Brockport fought hard to keep possession and eventually worked the puck in front to Danny Rock, who sent a wrist shot on target for the game-winning goal with just 21 seconds left on the game clock. Rock's winner was assisted by Hutchins and Pollini.
Neumann finished the day with three power-play goals, while Brockport outshot the visitors 34-23. Neumann's Mike Cosentino finished the day with 29 saves, while Matt Schneider stopped 19 shots in the win for the Golden Eagles. Schneider now has six wins on the season for Brockport.
Brockport to open new year with two home games
The College at Brockport ice hockey team gets back to action on January 3rd, 2020 for some non-conference action. The team hosts Neumann University at 7 pm that Friday, before welcoming King's College on Saturday at 4 pm.
Before Break: As the fall semester ended the Golden Eagles had a break for the holidays. Prior to the pause in action they earned a record of 5-6 overall and 5-4 in the conference. The team has come up empty recently with a string of losses on the road, including a 4-2 loss to #3 SUNY Geneseo. With plenty of hockey left on the schedule the team has time to right the ship.
Conference Play: Brockport is currently sitting in fourth in the SUNYAC with its 5-4 mark in league play. The squad is only trailing Morrisville (5-3), Geneseo (5-1-1), and Oswego (6-1) in the conference. The Green and Gold are just one of four teams in the conference to record double-digit points in the standings.
Look to Bounce Back: The team has lost its last four games and is looking to get back on the right track against Neumann and King's this weekend. Brockport is 2-2 at home this season and should take advantage of playing on its home ice for the first game back from the holidy break.
SUNYAC Break: After playing nine games in the SUNYAC for the first part of the season, the Golden Eagles have a pause in conference play coming up. Starting with this weekend's matchups against Neumann and King's the team will face six straight non-conference opponents. The next SUNYAC matchup isn't until January 24th when Brockport hosts Plattsburgh.
Team Leaders: Jordan Renaud and Ryan Romeo lead the way for the squad. Both have 11 points on the season, while Renaud leads the team with six goals and Romeo has a team-best eight assists. Casey Winn has hustled and sacrificed his body to record 13 blocks on defense. Matt Schneider is the top performing goaltender on the roster, making 225 saves on the year and has one shutout to his credit.
Scouting Neumann: The Neumann Knights are 3-7 overall and 3-5 in UCHC competition. The team struggles to win at home, holding a 2-6 mark in its own barn. The Knights most recently fell to Wilkes University, 1-2, at home. Zac Boyle leads the way with 10 total points on the season from five goals and five assists. Barry Kneedler has also scored five goals, while teammate Richie Brusco leads the team with seven assists. Kyle Pantelone is 2-2 as the starting goaltender and has made 135 saves to earn a .912 saves percentage.
Scouting King's: King's College from Pennsylvania is 1-7 overall and 1-6 in UCHC play so far this year. The team is a winless 0-5 at home and has lost five straight games going into the weekend. The Monarchs will take on Geneseo Friday ahead of the Saturday meeting with Brockport. Tommy Cahill leads the team with eight points on three goals and five assists. Michael DiSchiavi has also scored three goals for the Monarchs. Tyler Sayger is 1-3 as the starting goaltender and has made 153 saves for a .911 saves percentage.

Gov. Scott Walker dove into his re-election bid Sunday on promises of raising wages, cutting taxes and ensuring Wisconsin has quality schools.
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker announces Re-Election Campaign at Weldall Manufacturing Inc. in Waukesha.
WAUKESHA - Gov. Scott Walker dove into his re-election bid Sunday on promises of raising wages, cutting taxes, fighting the spread of drugs and ensuring Wisconsin has quality schools.
"I want you to know I believe in you, I believe in the people of Wisconsin and I believe there is more to be done," the GOP governor told a crowd at Weldall Manufacturing.
Walker got in the race after hinting for months that he planned to do so. A host of Democrats have already announced they will challenge Walker on the belief that voters will turn against Republicans after giving them complete control of the state and nation.
Ahead of Sunday's announcement, Walker said in an interview he would serve his full term if re-elected, ruling out the possibility of serving in President Donald Trump's administration or challenging him in a 2020 primary. Soon after he was elected to his second term in 2014, Walker briefly sought the Republican presidential nomination.
On Sunday, he warned his backers he would face a tough race because of opposition from Democrats, unions and their allies.
"The best way to counter the tens of millions of dollars from the big government special interests in Washington is through an army of grassroots volunteers," Walker said to cheers.
Walker rose to national prominence soon after he was first elected in 2010 when he embraced a measure to all but eliminate collective bargaining for most public workers in the state amid massive protests. That fight led to a 2012 recall election, with Walker becoming the only governor to survive one in the country's history.
"We've always been impressed with his focus on family values (and being) pro-life," said her husband, Jerry Thomas.
Hundreds of people protested Walker's announcement outside Weldall, urging him to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour and give more support to immigrants.
Uniqua Gordon of Milwaukee said she makes $9 an hour as a fast-food worker and would like to see a raise. She said she doesn't believe Walker is committed to increasing pay for workers like her.
The field of Democrats challenging Walker appears to be growing by the day. Already in the race are state Schools Superintendent Tony Evers; former state Democratic Party Chairman Matt Flynn; Milwaukee businessman Andy Gronik; political activist Mike McCabe; state Sen. Kathleen Vinehout of Alma; and state Rep. Dana Wachs of Eau Claire.
Democrats said so many people have gotten in the race because they view Walker as vulnerable after seven years in office.
"People are tired of (the Walker agenda) and Democrats believe there is a better way forward," said state Senate Minority Leader Jennifer Shilling (D-La Crosse).
Since being elected, Walker has cut billions of dollars in taxes and loosened environmental and business regulations.
This year, Walker has championed a deal that would give up to $3 billion in cash payments and tax breaks to Foxconn Technology Group for a massive facility in Racine County that would manufacture flat-screen display panels.
He did not mention that project in Sunday's speech and instead focused on his policies that froze tuition at University of Wisconsin campuses, cut taxes and invested more money in public schools. He said he would also combat the spread of opioids and other drugs that have claimed lives across the state.

News	 November 7, 2013 November 24, 2013
Filip Forsberg to the Ads, Taylor Beck to the Preds
The roster moves for the Ads keep on coming. This go-round it's a swap of forwards. The Nashville Predators have decided to recall Taylor Beck and assign Filip Forsberg to the Milwaukee Admirals.
Beck this season has 3 goals and 2 assists in the opening 8 games. He might have started the season fairly slow, by what we've come to expect from him, but his form in recent games has shown Beck is right back at it: 2 goals in his last 2 games while firing off 8 shots. Last season in the NHL, Beck played in 16 games scoring 3 goals and 4 assists with the Predators.
This will be Filip Forsberg's first time playing with the Milwaukee Admirals. Last season this top prospect was traded from the Washington Capitals to the Nashville Predators for Martin Erat and Michael Latta. The 11th overall selection of the 2012 NHL Draft suited up for 5 games last season for the Predators after his trade. He scored his first point, an assist, in a 4-3 Predators victory over the Calgary Flames. This season he picked up his first career NHL goal, but has had a relatively quiet opening 11 games to this point: 1 goal and 4 assists.
That being said, that's a quiet start for a 19-year old top prospect within the organization. There is a big ceiling with Mr. Forsberg. Depending on how long he stays with the Ads team, just for this upcoming three-in-three or longer, it adds an entirely new dimension to an already red hot Ads team that has yet to lose in regulation this season.
Thoughts on the move? How will Forsberg do this weekend? Will Forsberg be an Admiral past this weekend? Do you think Beck was deserving of this call-up or would you have liked to have seen another forward head to Nashville?

Thanks for the update. I think it's a win for the Ads and think Forsberg will be a good addition.
Lavender says:
John: It's interesting to see. With the trade that happened last season you almost forget just how young Forsberg is and the development that is ahead for him. For all we know this could be a lengthy stint with the Ads just to get him revved up a notch. I certainly think his ability and skills are going to be a great addition to the team.

    this.filterByClient = function () {
        gridApi.grid.refresh()
        singleFilter(self.gridApi.grid.rows, 'clientName', self.clientName);
    };

and in this row:
gridApi.grid.refresh()

I get this: error:
Cannot read property grid of undefined

While in this similar example it works fine.
Any idea why I get error above?

A: You have to inject gridApi into the scope as the example does:
onRegisterApi: function(gridApi){
  $scope.gridApi = gridApi;
  // [...]
},

And then you can refer to it with:
$scope.gridApi.grid.refresh();

In your case just change $scope with this

A: The problem is, gridApi parameter is in only accessible inside the onRegisterApi function unless you assign it to some other variable.
onRegisterApi: function (gridApi) {
    gridApi = gridApi, // Nothing happens by this line
}

You will have to try this way.
 var gridApi;
 this.gridOptions = {
            expandableRowTemplate: 'app/workPlan/templates/expandableRowTemplate.tmpl.html',
            expandableRowHeight: 150,
            enableColumnMenus: false,
            enableSorting: true,
            enableFiltering: false,
            enableToopTip: true,
            enableHorizontalScrollbar: 0,
            onRegisterApi: function (gridApiParam) {
               gridApi = gridApiParam, //Or assign the `gridApiParam` to `this` and access it the same way
               .......................
               .......................
            }
            .......................
            .......................

Today is the birthday of J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter. We had a little fun with the headlines and let our imaginations run free. Here's what we think some of today's headlines could have read if we lived in Rowling's magical world.
Note: This is purely fan fiction conceived from USA Today's intern Summer Bedard.


(Host) Congressman Bernie Sanders is introducing legislation to deal with what he calls "the culture of corporate greed." Sanders serves on the House Banking Committee. The Committee held a special hearing Monday on the finances of WorldCom – the nation's second largest telephone company. The company is immersed in an enormous financial scandal.
(Sanders) "There is a real cancer in this country of corporate greed and these people who make unbelievable compensation packages and they get stock options and they get all kinds of retirement benefits and all kinds of golden parachutes. These are the same people who are not only lying to their stock holders, they're ripping off their employees. They're moving to China…and that is ultimately the issue that has to be dealt with."
(Host) Later this week, the U.S. Senate is expected to consider legislation that would make significant changes in accounting and financial reporting laws for corporations. The bill does include new penalties for executives who defraud the public.

Canadian Taxpayers Federation launching "Stop High Energy Bills" billboard campaign in London
A new billboard campaign is being launched in London, Ontario, aimed at convincing the government to repeal the carbon tax. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation will unveil their "Stop High Energy Bills" billboard campaign during a news conference at 11 a.m. near London North Centre MPP Deb Matthews' office near Richmond and Piccadilly downtown. Ontario director for the federation Christine Van Geyn will address members of the media and share details about some other initiatives in the campaign, with the goal of "telling Ontario politicians they need to 'leave our energy bills alone' and reverse the carbon tax." With the federal government planning to impose a system for taxing carbon pollution on provinces that don't have a plan of their own, Ontario's Liberals moved to impose a cap-and-trade system. - Global News
How far will Freeland go to get climate change in NAFTA
Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland says she wants to see environmental provisions strengthened in a re-done North American Free Trade Agreement, but it's not clear exactly how far Canada's top diplomat will go to get climate change into NAFTA. The Trudeau government minister said Monday that strengthening environmental provisions is "absolutely a Canadian goal going into these talks." Canada wants to "ensure that the member countries can benefit from protecting the environment and investments," said Freeland in front of the House of Commons environment committee. She said Canada would "fully support efforts to target climate change." The question of how forcefully Canada will push to see the language of climate change reflected in a new NAFTA deal matters in light of the Trump administration's continued rejection of the global scientific consensus on climate. - National Observer
'I'm scared for my community': northerners react to cancellation of Pacific NorthWest LNG megaproject
In September 2016, Kristi Leer was celebrating the federal government's approval of the Pacific NorthWest LNG project, which would ship natural gas from near her home in Fort Nelson, B.C., to an export facility on Lelu Island, off the province's North Coast. "I had Goosebumps. I'm so happy," Leer said at the time, adding approval gave people in her hard-hit resource community "something to live for." Ten months later that optimism has all but died with news the project will not proceed. "I'm a little bit scared, honestly," Leer said after the announcement. "I'm scared for my community." Born and raised in the community of under 5,000 people, Leer started operating a pilot car business in 1998. Her fortunes took off in the early 2010s during an oil and gas boom in the region. - CBC
The Myth Of Natural Gas As A Bridging Fuel
I often disagree with the consulting group Bloomberg New Energy Finance, but they may be spot on in questioning whether natural gas can serve as a bridge to the future. Of course, they would say no, renewables will take over quickly, while I would say it will continue to be an important fuel, not a bridge, and that forecasters, including the oil industry, are greatly understating its potential. It all reminds me of the many times in the early 1980s when oil company executives would say, "natural gas is the fuel of the future," and some smart aleck would respond, "and always will be." I finally jumped in and said, you're producing twenty trillion cubic feet a year, it seems like natural gas is a fuel of the present. - Forbes
Big Oil Follows Silicon Valley Into Backing Green Energy Firms
Major oil companies are joining Silicon Valley in backing energy-technology start-ups, a signal that that those with the deepest pockets in the industry are casting around for a new strategy. From Royal Dutch Shell Plc to Total SA and Exxon Mobil Corp., the biggest investor-owned oil companies are dribbling money into ventures probing the edge of energy technologies. The investments go beyond wind and solar power into projects that improve electricity grids and brew new fuels from renewable resources. While the money involved is small – a fraction of the $7.5-billion that venture capital and private equity injected into the clean energy industry last year – the funds support work that may evolve into major income streams in the decades ahead as governments work to limit fossil-fuel pollution and global warming. - Bloomberg
Why Blackstone Is Betting $7-Billion on Natural Gas ($)

Fast, Dirty Natural Gas Plants Get Boost From Electric Cars
Britain's goodbye to fossil fuel cars by 2040 could boost the need for dirtier natural gas-powered stations. The government's goal to replace gasoline and diesel cars with those powered by electricity could see the construction of so-called open-cycle gas stations, said Carsten Poppinga, senior vice president of trading and origination at Statkraft AS, the Norwegian utility that operates hydro power plants and wind farms across the U.K. Such units can keep the grid from buckling from the strain of people charging cars in peak demand periods. The catch? While the plants can start generating power almost instantly, they don't recycle waste heat, making them emit more greenhouse gases per megawatt than the combined-cycle stations that comprise the largest share of the U.K.'s daily power output. Britain may have no choice but to use the less environmentally friendly option, though. With little spare generation capacity, the nation is vulnerable to power shortages, particularly on cold, winter days when wind and solar energy may be in short supply. - Bloomberg
Inpex Corporation warns tax changes would put Liquid Natural Gas expansion at risk
The biggest Japanese investor in Australia has issued a stark warning of the consequences of changes to tax deductions for capital-intensive industries such as oil and gas, advising that the cost to the country would be greater than gains elsewhere in the economy. Forgoing expansion could then mean existing Liquid Natural Gas plants are not fully utilised and the opportunity could be lost to develop smaller fields to supply the project, the company has told Parliament's economics committee. - The Sydney Morning Herald

Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain, Porsche Carrera Cup GB: 2019 calendar finalised at Porsche Night of Motorsport, Preview
Catalunya, Thruxton and Croft headline finalised 2019 calendar
Celebrating the end of a successful season and looking ahead to 2019 was the theme of the Porsche Carrera Cup GB 'Night of Motorsport', held for a second year at the home of a very different type of horsepower, Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Opening the evening was the announcement of the finalised 2019 calendar, which will continue to provide a world-class calendar for teams, drivers and sponsors as part of the world-wide Porsche Motorsport family. For the first time, Porsche Carrera Cup GB will visit Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain. Home to the Spanish Grand Prix and traditionally the first round of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, the circuit will welcome Porsche Carrera Cup GB alongside the European Le Mans Series in 2019.
The remainder of the seven weekends and fourteen rounds will continue to run alongside the BTCC calendar as part of an on-going commitment to the TOCA package that has provided such a successful home for the championship since its inception in 2003. Thruxton in Hampshire was last visited by the championship in 2014 when both races were won by Michael Meadows, while Croft in North Yorkshire last made an appearance on the calendar in 2016, both races won by Dino Zamparelli. The full 2019 calendar:
Brands Hatch (Indy) Rounds 1 and 2 5-7 April
Donington Park Rounds 3 and 4 25-28 April
Croft Rounds 5 and 6 14-16 June
Oulton Park Rounds 7 and 8 28-30 June
Barcelona Rounds 9 and 10 19-21 July
Thruxton Rounds 11 and 12 16-18 August
Silverstone (National) Rounds 13 and 14 27-29 September
Brands Hatch (Grand Prix) Rounds 15 and 16 11-13 October
Approaching 200 members of the 2018 Porsche Carrera Cup GB family, including Richard Attwood who partnered Hans Herrmann to the first of 19 overall victories at Le Mans for Porsche, gathered to recognise the champions and stand-out performances of the season.
A notable highlight was the 'Sacred Driver of the Year' award which went to Dan Vaughan, who claimed second in the Pro-Am category in his Rookie season with twelve podium finishes and three wins. There were other special awards to be collected, including four Superfast Chronograph timepieces that were presented by Antonius Kerssenbrock, Managing Director of Chopard Great Britain, to the driver in each category – Pro, Pro-Am, Am and Rookie – who, fittingly, achieved the highest number of fastest laps throughout the season. Dan Harper, Seb Perez, Peter Mangion and George Gamble were the deserving recipients for 2018.
For Tio Ellinas, Seb Perez and Peter Mangion, the most obvious spoil of winning the Pro, Pro-Am and Am categories respectively was outside next to the red carpet - a brand new Porsche 911 Carrera T. All three have the use of a Porsche 911 for 12 months, while team champions JTR receive a Porsche Cayenne for the same term.
Record numbers at Porsche Carrera Cup GB Taster Day
On Wednesday 31 October, prospective drivers for the 2019 season attended the annual Porsche Carrera Cup GB Taster Day held on the Silverstone International circuit. Due to unprecedented demand, a record 26 drivers were able to test one of three second-generation 'Type 991' 911 GT3 Cup cars around the 1.85-mile circuit, fully supported by Porsche Cars Great Britain.
In addition to sampling the car, potential drivers and sponsors were able to meet the team behind the fastest single marque GT racing championship in the UK, explore the experience of a season with competitors past and present, and gather material on the day courtesy of the ever-present championship photographer and Vbox system.
Underlining the championship's support for its teams, the exclusive track time was made available to all 2018 teams to allow for individual tests and sponsor activations as required.
The record breaking attendance points to 2019 providing another exciting and competitive season, underpinned by an evolution of the rules successfully introduced for 2018. For those whose plans fall into place early, the championship will, for a second year, offer two levels of reward: any driver who registers before 1 December 2018 will be credited £4,000 after the last round of the 2019 season, while any driver who registers after 1 December 2018 but before 21 January 2019 will receive £2,500 after the last round of the 2019 season. In both cases, drivers must submit a completed registration form and have made full payment of their registration fees by the set deadline. The credit is also dependent on the driver competing in every round of the 2019 season.

*Data determined in accordance with the measurement method required by law. Since 01 September 2018 all new cars are approved in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure to measure fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. You can find more information on WLTP at www.porsche.com/wltp. From 01 January 2019, all fuel consumption figures are shown as determined in accordance with WLTP. CO₂ figures will be shown as NEDC-equivalent values, as CO₂ based taxation will continue to be based on an NEDC value (derived from WLTP) until 06 April 2020. Fuel economy and CO₂ emission figures are only intended as a means of comparing different types of vehicles tested under the same test cycle. New WLTP homologated vehicles are therefore not directly comparable with any vehicles tested under NEDC. For Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) range and Equivalent All Electric Range (EAER) figures are determined with the battery fully charged, using a combination of both battery power and fuel.
Values are provided for comparison only. To the extent that fuel consumption or CO₂ values are given as ranges, these do not relate to a single, individual car and do not constitute part of the offer. Extra features and accessories (attachments, tyre formats etc.) can change relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics which may result in a change in fuel consumption and CO₂ values. Additionally, weather and traffic conditions, as well as individual driving styles, can all affect the actual fuel consumption, electricity consumption, and CO₂ emissions of a car.

Ohio lawmakers hike gas, diesel taxes to fund road fixes
Posted: Apr 2, 2019 / 08:10 PM EDT / Updated: Apr 3, 2019 / 08:36 AM EDT
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Drivers would pay 10.5 cents a gallon more for gas and 19 cents a gallon more for diesel fuel under a long-awaited compromise struck by state lawmakers Tuesday.
The compromise ended days of negotiations among legislative leaders and Republican Gov. Mike DeWine, who had wanted the rate to be much higher. After approval by a bipartisan conference committee, it moved quickly through the full House and Senate.
The increases, contained in the state transportation budget, would mean more than $850 million more per year for road and bridge projects. The final deal also sends 45% of the revenue from the tax increase to local governments, up from the 40% they get on the current gas tax.
Ohioans will pay a state tax rate of 38.5 cents per gallon on gas and 47 cents a gallon on diesel fuel after the increases are applied. Both new tax rates would start July 1 under the plan, which still requires DeWine's signature.
DeWine initially sought an increase of 18 cents a gallon for gas and diesel fuel and urged lawmakers not to reduce it. He called his proposal a "minimalist approach" that was necessary to fix the most serious problems as soon as possible.
The House then passed an increase of 10.7 cents for gas and 20 cents for diesel fuel, while the Senate pushed for an increase of only 6 cents a gallon on both.
Last week, DeWine and Republican House Speaker Larry Householder announced they had reached a deal under which the gas tax would rise by 11 cents a gallon and diesel fuel by 20 cents. But Senate lawmakers had not agreed to it.
Sen. Matt Dolan, a Chagrin Falls Republican, said senators held firm out of respect for Ohio drivers. He said every penny of gas tax raises $67 million.
Householder called it "a good compromise."
"I think this is a reasonable approach. I think (for) the average Ohio driver, the effect is going to be less than $55 a year," he said, adding, "The increase will go a long way to bring us forward as far as our infrastructure needs, and so it was necessary."
Not everyone was pleased, however.
Republican state Rep. Niraj Antani, of Miamisburg, said the state had more than enough money between its rainy-day fund and budget surplus to fund infrastructure improvements.
"Raising taxes is the least creative solution ever used in government. The citizens of Ohio demand of us to do what is hard," he said. Antani said separating of the gas and diesel taxes would hit the trucking industry hard and "haunt our community for decades."
Fix Our Roads Ohio, a coalition representing local governments, transportation businesses and other stakeholders in the state's road system, praised the compromise.
Spokesman Curt Steiner said it "will help ODOT avoid a crippling financial shortfall, fund needed maintenance and provide funding for priority highway improvement projects."
Ohioans currently pay state tax of 28 cents on gas and the same for diesel fuel. Ohio hasn't raised its state gas tax since 2005.
The compromise transportation bill also allows Ohio drivers to remove front license plates starting July 1, 2020. It also would set fees for alternative vehicles at $200 and $100 for hybrid vehicles.
The House and Senate, in the meantime, have agreed on a figure that would boost public transportation funding, adding $70 million a year, up from the current $33 million.
