Formula One: Analysis of Singapore

am 28. From 28 September 2009 20:49 │ Comments {6}

"Classic tactic" is a euphemism for a so boring Grand Prix. But it was not so bad yesterday. These are a few details at the end of the article in his own behalf.

image001 The fact that in Singapore yesterday was not completely boring, was due to three things: the personal faults of some drivers, the championship standings and the spectacular setting of the Grand Prix. As Ecclestone has once again had a good nose, because no matter how boring the race may be - the shots, which was shown on TV yesterday were beautiful. Since you would like to see more of. This does not affect the action on the track. The more you want to see that often. But - even if at the top of the field did little, it was amazing how much changes in the positions. And after all the World Cup is still partially open.
Exciting rumors remain on the edge of the race. Raikkonen should have docked at McLaren, Alonso is reportedly at Ferrari and Toyota in front of the exit.

ALMS: Too bad about a good race

am 28. From 28 September 2009 17:49 │ Comments {2}

Unfortunately, there is less to analyze, as I had hoped. The violent storms which have ravaged Georgia met in recent days, including the Petit Le Mans and led to discontinuation, shortly before they passed the half distance of 500 miles.

025801022407 184 of the scheduled 394 laps were run before the race was declared a red flag and stopped later in the evening then ended. But let's start at the beginning. DC at Turn 1, showed the class a Allan McNish. The 3rd place was launched Audi driver overtook on the start-finish straight, a Peugeot and grabbed the second in the ultra-fast first corner on the wet winger! A crazy maneuvers.

By Stefan Tegethoff
It will slowly fall, the seasons of most motor sports series are slowly but surely on their end and the American Le Mans Series once again moves one of its two long-distance events, which are the highlights of the season of the series.

025200212334 The last two editions of the Petit Le Mans had to offer each exciting final hours. While in 2007 the Audi R10 against the LMP2 Porsches and fought at the end of the car just with the four rings won, in 2008 there were a terrific duel between Audi and Peugeot, in turn, the latter were victorious in the end. What was distinctive: McNish / Capello, who won in the end took off after an accident in the warm up one hour before race start round two later than the rest of the field, because the car was not ready in time.

NASCAR: Dover Preview September 2009 / News

am 25. From on 25 September 2009 12:12 │ Comments {0}

Chase Race 2 of 10 on stands and then it goes on a short track to the point. This time at Dover International Speedway, one of the faster one-mile ovals. In addition to the Cup, also runs the Nationwide Series at Dover, the trucks are on the Las Vegas launch.

dover The "Monster Mile" in Dover is one of their banking from 24 degrees to the spectacular Shorttracks and is similarly steep as Bristol, but with a mile of track length is twice as large. Although the two lines are 9 ° bends, however, arises when accelerating out of a similar catapult action averaging as in "Thunder Valley". The change from 24 ° to 9 ° runs quite abruptly, so that it quickly in the wall. Another common with Bristol is the story of the track surface of both race tracks: After the usual first asphalt was used, changed this in the mid-90s in both places. At Dover and Bristol are now the only Cup race held on a concrete pavement. further accelerate →

Formula One: Singapore Preview

am 24. From on 24 September 2009 at 17:35 │ Comments {8}

The affair at Renault is still in the air and will probably dominate the headlines at the weekend. Here, in Singapore are quite a preliminary decision in the World Cup.

14ALZ09_CMYK_Singapur_01_RBH At least as far as the chances of the Red Bull. There are still four races, Button has 26 points ahead of Vettel. That can only be turned. Two bad races in the Brawn, two wins from Vettel and the matter would be fully open again. But two total failures? It does not seem as if the button will make the "edge preserving" mode is already before the move. More concerned with the Briton likely anyway to Barrichello, who has risen significantly in the second half of the season. Red Bull is as sharp as on the drivers 'title, which would be quite important but the constructors' title. It would be the first for a private team, Williams has been in the 90s. Here, the distance is 41 points, which seems feasible in four races. However, both Red Bull suffered a certain engine shortage.

Formula One: Renault judgment / Calendar 2010

am 21. From on 21 September 2009 16:32 │ Comments {13}

Suspects in record 90 minutes, the FIA has now addressed the Chrashgate. And gives a tentative calendar for 2010, too.

2 years on probation - that's the punishment that Renault has received the phony accident in Singapore 2008th Not particularly difficult, the punishment, but the French could probably make it clear that this is only an agreement between Briatore, Symonds and Piquet Jr. acted. As had been promised immunity from Brazil, caught a lot of anger on Briatore. Is barred for life (!) Of all FIA events. He may do this with any of the FIA-sanctioned series more Gechäfte or otherwise enter into any connection. He must also manage any more drivers. Each driver has a super license, loses it when he can be assisted by Briatore. As I said - for life. For Symonds this rule applies, but only for five years. As some have gone to Briatore.
