Catalan term or phrase: la força del motor (exposició)
The Chequered Flag és futura exposició que es farà properament al circuit de Montmeló. Com a descripció, sota del títol de l'exposició, hi ha el comentari 'la força del motor'. Els textos per als panells de l'exposició inclouen referències tècniques a cotxes concrets, curses històriques, pilots, etc.

He pensat que podria traduir-ho com a:

The power of motoring and motor racing

The force of motoring


Explanation:
I wouldn't add motor racing. It gets complicated and repeats a similar concept. The force of motoring is just properly translated even if some nuances or double meanings are lost.

Motor Power


Explanation:
sounds quite catchy to me, includes everything and keeps it simple!
(Motor Strength is another one, but I prefer "Power").

Pots mirar la frase en google també..

Un altre opció sería de posar Motor Power / Pilot Power (títols diferents però amb un significat comú?..es un idea)

Sort!

Pilar, Segons el contexte en general, això ho tens que veure tu, però "Engine Power" també podría ser una altre alternativa...
