The modified section, on the other hand, had a larger variety of hot rides.
The low limbo was moved to a new part of the expo centre, which was a great move from the organisers.
German vs Jap also hosted their annual low limbo, where a competitor from Mozambique won in a Toyota Corolla with the height of 1.15 metres.

Germany says written EU-US trade deal requires lower car duties
Germany said on Monday the US would have to follow through on agreed lower tariffs on Europe-made cars before a wider agreement on trade can be finalised in writing. "In particular, car tariffs must be reduced quickly as agreed. We are also aware of the considerable burden on the export-orientated economy. Our role is to continue to fully support the European Commission in the process," a German government spokesman said at a press conference. The EU and the US struck a framework trade deal in late July with many key details yet to be clarified.

Europe's Hyperloop Automotive Ambitions
Image: Supplied The Hyperloop concept is shifting rapidly from futuristic theory to practical reality at the newly opened European Hyperloop Centre (EHC) in Veendam, the Netherlands. The site represents a milestone for Europe as it brings together all the essential components of the system in one location, creating a collaborative hub where international developers can refine technologies and forge cross-border partnerships. For Europe, open borders are a defining achievement. The everyday ease of crossing between countries without checkpoints is a powerful symbol of integration, and the Hyperloop mirrors this same spirit of speed, connectivity and innovation on a new scale. The choice of Groningen, close to the German border within the Ems-Dollart Region, underscores the project's symbolic commitment to seamless regional and international movement. Inside the European Hyperloop Centre At the centre of the facility lies a 420-metre-long tube, assembled from 34 sections and featuring a unique switch mechanism branching off from one end. Designed as an open innovation environment, it enables researchers and industry partners from across the globe to test propulsion, levitation, stabilisation and switching at speeds up to 100 km/h. By lowering air pressure inside the tube to just one millibar, air resistance is almost eliminated, dramatically reducing energy consumption and positioning Hyperloop as one of the most sustainable transport solutions under development. Managing Director Kees Mark has also stressed that the vacuum technologies developed here have applications well beyond mobility. The EHC is supported by a broad coalition of industry players such as Hardt Hyperloop, POSCO, TATA Steel, Mercon, Denys, and Avitec, alongside technology partners including Hive and Bytesnet Groningen. Passenger capsule prototypes are already being tested with VR simulations and user feedback, while the Hyperloop Development Programme (HDP) – a public–private partnership – coordinates research and industrial collaboration across leading universities in Munich, Delft, Groningen, Emden/Leer, and Switzerland's EPFL.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad loading Testing the Future of Mobility The facility opened to the public in September 2024 with a demonstration run using magnetic levitation rather than wheels, with pods reaching 30 km/h. According to Marinus von der Meijs, Technology and Engineering Director at Hardt Hyperloop, the next stage will involve full-speed testing and lane-switching, a crucial step before passenger services can be launched – something anticipated around 2030. Visitors to the tube describe a strikingly futuristic atmosphere, with strips of coloured light along the walls enhancing the sensation of levitation and motion. Integrated systems for power, braking, communication and data are already in place, while pods are kept lightweight by minimising onboard equipment. At the switching junction, the greatest technical challenges emerge: stabilising pods while compensating for heat, centrifugal force and magnetic pressure. Here, researchers at Delft University of Technology have made significant breakthroughs. Political Momentum and Future Prospects Looking ahead, Mark notes that governments are beginning to integrate Hyperloop into their long-term mobility strategies, a sign of increasing political momentum. While he avoided predicting the location of the first commercial line, he stressed that Europe has the right combination of political will, technological expertise and collaborative spirit to lead the global race. If successful, the Hyperloop could become not only a flagship European innovation but also a transformative model of sustainable, borderless transport.

Jean 'Panjaro' Kruger takes emotional win Red Bull Shay iMoto
Jean Panjaro Kruger walked away from the 2025 Red Bull Shay iMoto as the Champion. Jean Panjaro Kruger walked away from the 2025 Red Bull Shay iMoto as the Champion. Red Bull Shay iMoto 2025 winner Jean "Panjaro" Kruger said winning in Durban was special because he got to use his brother Austin's car - which he had previously competed with. The North West spinner came to Durban to reinstate his family's honour and name in the sport at the highest level and take the bragging rights back home. Over 4,000 people witnessed the smoke filled spectacle as drivers were judged based on vehicle control, style, showmanship, and crowd impact. Spinning is the only motorsport in the country were the crowd is part of the system and not just spectators. Representing the KwaZulu-Natal contingent, Sphe Ndlovu and Nevelan Naidoo did their best to keep up with the country's elite, including Samkeliso "Sam Sam" Thubane in his new E30 BMW. Teenage Bloemfontein Spinner Robin Fortuin was also part of the line-up but was eliminated "and still made it look sexy". Panjaro on the other hand has been working his way around South Africa and making a name for himself as one of the new "top dawgs" in town. Driving his brother's BMW E30, with the German coloured decals striped along the body, Kruger said the victory was a special moment for him.
