As already expected, the race of the DTM at the Norisring was not so bad. It was also very close to the power density.
I swear every now and yes very happy about the DTM. Too artificial, too technokartisch, too political. What is seen in the quality, sometimes even correct. Who actually came up with the idea of limiting quality in a short session, the number of rounds? This can be made at earlier stages in Formula One, but there had been 12 laps for one hour. The team responsible for the Mercedes DTM this rule was apparently not informed, then one other thing. I felt really sorry for Ralf Schumacher, who had a really good weekend. But after all the races then compensated for the odd hiccup in the qualification. What Scheider, Spengler and Green departed, there was really a great thing and is happy to be repeated.
Above all, Scheider and Spengler fought a good battle, but that part of Spengler would have something harder to be performed. Scheider had a problem with the rear tire, so the hairpin is a little hit on. So were the tires when accelerating hard and not so stressed out he had a little more speed before the Scholler-S. Of course, because the temptation was very, very close to him just slightly to the rear wheel drive, as far as the door was. But what should make Spengler? For if he would have tried what is in every other touring car racing series, although not popular but made it probably would have cashed the race stewards. Then would rather wait for an error from Scheider, he thought to himself.
But that made no mistakes, which, given his cold and the line drive that he had already had a pretty art. Especially since only later Spengler and Jamie Green gave him breathe rarely air. In view of this struggle, the race was so much better than expected. The last two laps were really funny and it has long been the best thing that could offer the DTM. Would that it were always like that, probably thought a lot of fans who have the dreary race from Hockenheim and Lausitzring still in mind.
Audi was able to do an end almost sorry. After all, it's just been intercepted by four kilometers from the finish, and after a race that was close enough anyway. But there remains the Norisring on Mercedes-country. And the Winner is that a year's car, which makes things even better. It would be nice if the "home" team can go for the win.
Next race is at 19:07 at Zandvoort. Even such a distance that can be good for racing.

NASCAR - New Hampshire
Race in New Hamsphire are also often in the area: Am I still awake? A bit like Martinsville, only quicker stop. It does usually not so much, especially if a way forward pfeilt. Kindly saved the NASCAR viewers of this scenario and for a long distance race went forward from the post properly. Oops - - because Jeff Gordon, Kurt Busch, Tony Stewart and Dale Earnhardt were not innocent, jr. But it was mostly Gordon and Busch, who gave themselves properly and gave away almost an inch. And, although the race with 301 laps really should be long enough. But since rain was in the air and no one knew exactly when that should happen next.
For the Scandals of the race but took care, once again, Kyle Busch. The damage on lap 176 restart at No. 7 is a very unusual path for this "Big One". What had happened? At the start was Junior not really move because his rear tire went mad. To the Hendrick drivers not to pretzels into the back of Truex Jr. chipped short, serrated out after half a meter, to then re-classified. Kyle Busch, who are already on the inside line at the same time Montoya anlehnte withdrew and turned Truex into the field. Especially when it was on RCR Busch then not speak well, because of the crash tore Harvick and Mears from the race. It was not like that, because that Kyle was completely to blame for his side. But in recent months, many such drivers taken out of the race that fall like their colleagues in such a case on him. But Truex would have simply to stay on his line.
At the end of the race was decided by the rain. Caution Because of the many there were slightly shifted Fesnter stop, which meant that when the dark clouds were approaching until Ryan Newman and then Joey Logano were ahead. Newman was unlucky not Logano. When the rains came, the Gibbs-pilot had even a puddle in the tank and held out until canceled. The also came surprisingly quickly if you see otherwise, as long as NASCAR does, but it really poured out of buckets. Well, NASCAR is so beautiful, the headline that Logano "sliced greatest thing since bread," as described before, won his first race. In summer, the lame NASCAR need any attention.
Two riders who were touched Montoya is not all that and Junior. Last one had him for a half marvelous on good short-track racing. Apparently provides the team completely rebuilt so slowly, the first results. TNT reported that the tone in the team should vote again. It was much more relaxed, but that given the fact that Junior has 275 points behind, probably no hope of competing in the Chase. As you can concentrate so forward to the new year.
It runs much better when ridden EGR team and Montoya. Which is now in 12th place, but only one point ahead of Kasey Kahne. However, Montoya recently delivered from really good race. He can not win, it knows, so he searches the top 10 In the following weeks, with Daytona, Indianapolis and Watkins Glen three routes to it are really good are not, so his chances badly.
In the NASCAR itself, there are currently next to the race only one thing: Danica Patrick. Apparently explores its management from across the garage, the chances for a change of the lady. Hendrick was my turn, now Roush has also confirmed talks. Presumably it was also at RCR and EGR. It says so serious about a change. For the NASCAR would be a woman in the field, of course, in the truest sense of the word, priceless. Patrick is in the U.S., moderate results or not, back to the bad advertising icons and their reputation, they would soon be catapulted into the Top 10. Worries you, and rightly so, about the riding talent of Danica. I am not angry, but a glance at Allmendinger, Hornish and Franchitti shows that much needs a lot of luck to gain a foothold can. Patrick has almost zero (niente, zero) experience in cars with lid on top. It is exactly a race in a touring car drove, it was in 2003 at the ALMS race at Road Atlanta in the GT series with a Ferrari 550 for Prodrive. After all, she was fourth in her class.
The lack of touring car and Late Model experience is a problem. Above all, as long as she knows not all the ovals. Montoya has needed two years, Hornish is in his second year and it goes slowly uphill, looks at it from similar Allmendinger. They would have to put in only about one year, the Nationwide, but they want it? There is certainly a strong need of NASCAR superiors (the stuck behind a possible deal with security) and the sponsors of Patrick that she is as fast as possible in the cup.
I can see Danica Patrick in fact, that is. When she gets on AGR not at Ganassi or Penske is not a place. Formula One does not dare ran to her, she barely knows to a non-US. The ALMS and GrandAm are too small, so the only remaining NASCAR, if it wants to develop further. I would find a woman in the series well, but it will please no "sham", that number will show.
Images. And yes, a real lobster Logano holds in his hand. Do not ask. Amis.
And what else?
Next weekend only U.S. series, I think, as the F1 takes a break: Daytona NASCAR, IRL at Watkins Glen and the GrandAm also in Daytona.

The DTM race was really great. The best I liked that Green has my favorite rider outclassed Rail. The last two races he was in front of him, but unfortunately not as clear as on Sunday.
Hopefully the authorities have begun to notice this is the only brother Ralf Schumacher of a good racer and Green return his car!
Like dig, car? Do you live in the southern hemisphere and the box is covered in snow? : P
Scheider has a really even said anything to his almost absurdly broad curved line? In the race I had speculated that he with the flu in the bone just can not get enough pressure on the brake pedal's. To compensate for this and to take a more ideal place, he would then have to constantly move his braking point forward, and that he fails to do that is clear, otherwise he would have had any direct early next opponent is on corner entry.
The fact that F1 is not rantraut to Danica Patrick, because they do not know, I do not think so. Will know exactly who that is, motor sports track at least important series quite well and there are also teams with the "scout" for talent to record. And even if nobody knows, it would provide plenty of headlines and attention. It has to stop for a be a real sports marketing and technical requirements for an F1 team (which of course could open up new teams in the now), the other will have Danica and her management also express genuine interest and a foot in the door to get one agrees on a cockpit seat. Waiting for any team that has come crawling back for a racer bittstellend not career-enhancing strategy. Unfortunately for them, it must also, however, has yet to prove suitable as F1 - F1 is one of the serious physical ford racing series, and demands a lot from the drivers, and it is comparatively quite a little person just yet. Basically, there are teams interested in the run-up to have extensive performance tests. In addition, there is the old problem that give fast also known IRL / CART drivers not guaranteed a good F1 driver to fail and be happy probably know more or less clearly. With Bourdais (who is really fast and this can certainly) you have just "once again" a current negative example in his face, and that should scare.
Sorry, but now to say to the finish, the DTM was good, I find it a bit exaggerated. That was 80 laps of pure, pure boredom really 70, where was hardly out of date or not at all just went after was absolutely negative publicity for the DTM. Okay, the finish was only good because Scheider had problems on the rear axle under braking / concession when there would otherwise be nothing done. Each BTCC / WTCC driver is laughing up his sleeve but on the so-called touring car series, where Call Waiting 3sec Stop / Go and drive-through penalty will be punished. For me, the DTM has totoptimiert, you could see so well on the quality, where you only had to pull out the rule books. For this, the ARD / Lufen / reuter / Somer find everything well and look forward to overtaking in the pitlane. Lufen should be in the qualification does not make next time before a clock, so that now EVERYONE knows it too (I knew it already ^ ^) that are pre-recorded segments. For this, the ARD overlaid wiedermal 5min with a stupid movie, and it looked as of Q1 still to 4min. The fact that the DTM even join in a host broadcaster, who presents the so unkind, was not even a reporter for the eye there, but ask people who are brainless questions ala what was going on there? etc. Again, the race for me a very bad race with a happy finish.
FYI: Next WE also WTCC Porto is on the way :)
The DTM, I must say, the ego was partly a pain to watch, the first 70 laps were anyway good for a nap, but also in the last ten laps, it was terrible to see with how the driver of a hand to fight the Dirty Air had, and other hand, have sometimes tried desperately to evade the enemy, which is certainly the one to the Commissioners, on the other, but also on the cars that fall apart in half every little touch. It was then actually do so much with touring car racing, but reminded me more of F1 with a roof.
Well and ARD have to say I do nothing more, a bad underground transmission I have rarely seen. Located in the struggle for the victory will be an interview with the abbot, as he goes for wenns over there so close to going, and so on, then half a lap.
WTCC and F2 but without embellishment Foma, pity ^ ^ Add to that the whbn from Silverstone
@ Sare:
I knew I forgot something. Thank you.
@ Nona:
Sure, the teams and everyone who knows a bit with motor racing, Danica Patrick knows well. Especially as they start their careers once the move was in the British Formula series. But in F1? This risk would take only one who very much needs a lot of money. Without GP2 without route knowledge job far better themselves, they would not otherwise. For sponsors, it is not so interesting and the U.S. sponsors are not interested in F1. NASCAR is their only option. Would at least be interesting to see if it goes down completely, or has more on it.
Until the last 10 laps I did not know about round 18-19 I almost got eingepennt and then switched to sports for € Supersport race. This was to look really yummy.
In defense of the ARD must be said that the transfers in the ZDF to the last exit were significantly worse, even if the course these days there is not much in common with the great transfer of the old DTM. Lufen is fine, competent and friendly, and may still need to ask the right questions at the right time, in any case better than most of the other microphone support in the pit lane. Manuel Reuter fits well as pure, one would wish only that he occasionally gives the times and Danner daherexpertet less happy, but "Oh, rubbish!" Is in the Palatine-Hessian contain vocabulary not stop. It is disturbing whenever Sohmer forfeited in its Aris Donzelli mode and unreal reporter intonation (yet no one speaks ...) the pauses between the words ....... generously ...... placed, and the punctuation mark .... the ... wrong. Points. ...... Sets. If something is intolerable, then commenting a powerful racing sport as it was ballroom dancing, or dressage. This is not true, no wonder that they fall asleep there.
Both in the ER as well as the quality of the RTL Motorsport commentary is formulated moderately friendly. And that concludes with the experts. No comparison to € blissful sports times, but no comparison to the quality of those offered by broadcasters in other countries.
what is so interesting because the ran?
