Since then they go again. And those who had hoped that they would in the first hours of the new season to learn about the balance of power, was disappointed.

3 hours free training have shown in particular that nothing is clear. It is not the slightest indication of who has an advantage of the top teams, who may perhaps be the crucial few tenths faster and in as many rounds. Instead of meaningful time there was only one race simulations today. Although some teams seem consistent with the way tanks were full, while others have more practice for the second stint and were a little easier. Actually, it is logical that it takes exactly three times fast lap and then only in the qualification, which should be practiced as well as for hours on end. However, we would have liked a little more clarity. And then this morning also bugged the F1 live timing page.

IRL: Season Preview 2010

In the shadow of the F1-beat starts this weekend the IRL on the new street circuit in Sao Paulo in the 2010 season. Long the series was in decline - will this year finally be all better.

We regret to say it so clearly: From the once-proud race series, which was for many years as head of the American motor sports is not much left except the Indy 500. NASCAR has long been one of the lapped; Long gone are the times when the CART series by some viewers as a more exciting alternative to F1 was seen, and cherished lofty expansion plans into Europe and Asia. The years of guerrilla war between CART and the IRL has added to the sport hard, and hurt in the end all: The CART (or Champ Car), there is no longer the past two years, and also the "reunited" IRL will compete for the attention of not just from the spot. Nevertheless: In 2010 you could win with the IZOD brand fashion a new title sponsor, which can be trusted, to promote the series outside the core market. Above all, a younger and "cooler than" audience wants to achieve. Full access to the concept in 2011 and 2012 - this year but must be set the course for the future.
