Sad news from the United States. The Formula One world champion of 1961, Phil Hill, died today at the age of 81. The move puts one of the last surviving driver from a guard, on the one hand combined with the racing still a "gentleman" activities, on the other hand, he still belongs to a generation who were also on the long haul and at Le Mans extremely successful. To which he was the first American who could win the Formula One title. It did him no one was actually in Europe. The U.S. importer Luigi Chinetti Ferrari he had discovered more or less. Each case, he claimed that forever. Hill himself has said that he has since gone out of in 1956, where at that time had to go if you wanted to be a successful racer: England

Preview coming tomorrow later in the evening, when my eyes get open even should. NASCAR will probably turn out for me on the weekend completely. Because the 9 hour time difference to Los Angeles, started the race on Saturday morning NW at 04.00 clock that SC does not race on Monday morning before 02.15 clock.

And what else?
Sunday will be pretty full with the DTM, BTCC and support races in the WTCC. For entertainment on Sunday evening is also provided, as the ALMS moves to Detroit.

Yes, and then there's the start of the Superleague Formula at Donington. So far can not find a stream, but you should definitely check the Web site once the show, perhaps going on that could be it. So far, makes it all very chaotic. There is not even a list of all drivers, the reason being that not all teams have one at all. I can not figure out who is driving for Borussia Dortmund, although the car is being prepared by Zakspeed.

Thanks to reader Mattzel been alerted to a list:

3 AC Milan driver Robert Doornbos
4 Galatasaray Alessandro Pier Guidi
5 PSV Eindhoven Yelmer Buurman
6 Al Ain Andreas Zuber
7 Flamengo Tuka Rocha
8 Anderlecht Craig Dolby
9 Olympiacos Kasper Andersen
10 FC Basel Max Wissel
11 Nelson Philippe Borussia Dortmund
12 Beijing Guoan Davide Rigon
Corinthians 14 Andy Soucek
16 FC Porto Tristan Gommendy
17 Ryan Dalziel Rangers
18 Borja Garcia Sevilla FC
19 Tottenham Hotspur Duncan Tappy
21 Liverpool Adrian Valles
22 AS Roma Enrico Toccacelo

Even before the attempted fraud of the Gibbs team in Dyno test last week in the NW series, one wonders who has the best in NASCAR, and most powerful engine under the hood. It just seeps through the first reports on the dyno tests of the Cup cars from Michigan. However, it must then cross through the half power, because the teams are in terms of performance to the outside a little tight-lipped, although the data is sent to all teams. So you have to by the many Dodge, Ford, Chevy and Toyota Forums Click to find something. And it looks like, the result is somewhat surprising.

After the rather boring race on courses such as Michigan and Pocono, there is finally back short track action. I've been outed here and there, as a short track fan and the reason why I like the races here usually is easy. I find that when Shorttracks NASCAR returns to its roots. That is what the classic dirt track in the early years. It's not as fast, but it is very hard to contact and driven. In Bristol, there is hardly a round in which it does not matter to care and especially the last few laps for a good dose of variety. And then of course this oval in Bristol.

Even after the first three hours of training in Valencia, I stand by my question, if you really must build a track so fast. Based on the television pictures but you can at least say that the run-off areas are a few points in order and have been used very much today. There was only one incident when Nico Rosberg lost his car on a curb and sailed to Mark Webber, but the-watched in the rearview mirror and had to rush by Williams was in itself. Otherwise, the route was on some decent teams puzzles.

Had the accident, the Friesacher with the new A1 Grand Prix car was probably not only a material fatigue, as it was initially. Friesacher, who suffered in the accident three thoracic vertebrae was battered, collapsed during a test at Estoril in a high-speed curve, the right rear suspension. The part is said to have run for over 5000 km, but that it has canceled completely after the accident and the subsequent tests, probably indicates a larger problem. That seems to have at least found, however, is it possible not to get the changes in the time before the season started out. In a relatively terse press statement from the organizers reads:

A1GP World Cup of Motorsport A1GP has moved Mugello, Italy from the opening round of the 2008/09 championship following a delay in the build schedule of the new chassis.

It said that there would be problems that would be beyond the control of the A1 Grand Prix, which led to the fact that they do not meet the schedule for the construction of the chassis could. Measure which can not all teams in time for the scheduled start of the season at 21.09. provide the same material. Time given the fact that all the team would have to be provided four weeks before a scheduled start of the season already with enough chassis that can probably only mean that you have to make some changes to the car.

The race in Mugello is deleted without substitution, which should cost a lot of money to A1. Not to the organizer, but also to the broadcasting TV stations.

Speaking of TV coverage. Either premiere rapidly respond to changes in the EPG (the message is from today, 20:19 clock), or it transfers the A1 actually not.

Anyway: start of the season is now at 05.10. be in Zandvoort.

Thank you for pointing Mattzel chatting

Euro Super League sports shows
The Superleague Formula is about to close yet found a TV channel. The reported today at least the MSA . Accordingly, sports € from the second race will enter at the Nurburgring. However - neither on the media side or normal side of sports and € Superleague Formula is usually available as a confirmation. Normally I would assume that a new series of such, for they are very important deal, trumpeted out, but there's nothing to find. Perhaps our colleagues in Switzerland were again faster than allowed.

For the first time in a long time, the Formula One embarks on a completely new route. Although the track for the F1 in Fuji also has been relatively new territory, but it is already on a path layout something else down. The last new track came in 2005 at the exchange rate in Turkey, and the year before it was China and Bahrain have been included in the calendar. So now for the first time in Valencia and one felt like eternity. The last non-permanent race track is surfaced in F1 was in Melbourne in 1996, the last real street circuit was established in 1989 with the race at Phoenix (USA), where it was only three times on the road. So it's been a pretty big change. And I am the Valencia circuit, but not so sure if he is not one of Formula One far too fast.
