Pictures LMS - Algarve 1000km

The race of the LMS on the beautiful course in Portugal was not so bad, especially because there was a surprise winner. A very brief summary.

LMS_5 So Long distance races are indeed a matter for themselves. The excitement of a race is recorded only when you really look at the race, which is given the length and can make once in a while. So it is a pity that the series has no more complete live coverage. I actually thought that the race in the sport € network completely live transfers. That was one of the reasons why I had put on the web player. All the more disappointing it is when sports € interrupts the transmission. It would have been nice if you could at least run the picture further, the comment can also get at Radio Le Mans. I very much hope that the 2010 is better again.

DTM: When there is again a race?

I was thinking yesterday, long after the DTM. Enough time had been in the rather dreary race indeed well enough. Therefore, there is now no looking back for the race, but a few thoughts on the series.

DTM_Oschersleben That the DTM has a problem is not new. One should not forget that the DTM is one of Germany after the Formula One to known and most popular motorsport series. What certainly has to do with good TV coverage and even better marketing of the manufacturer. And the fact that all other racing series in Germany, they were ever so well run, well below the horizon of the audience attention. And yet - almost everyone who is interested in motor sport shrugs at the mention of the series with the shoulders. With motor sport has nothing to do, whispered to me the other day a VLN-pilot, whom I met by chance at the ring. And who yesterday compared with those of the DTM race of the BTCC, which could only come to a similar conclusion. While in England flew the tatters and we explored the precision work in color on the bumper of the enemy, in the DTM, little was going on. Why is it that the series for many fans has such a bad state?
