ALMS: Mosport Analysis 2010

am 31. From 31 August 2010, at 18:07 │ Comments {0}

The word "chaotic" not fit for the race, but the transfer speed and the end result of Auswürfelung.

After the sensational race of the ALMS at Road America, Mosport, followed by a course that in the past on many occasions was good for close results. The route is to say the least, in a miserable condition, but because there is a maximum price, the Spritverbrach plays a major role. Depending on how the fall Cautions, it may end up being really close. That was yesterday, but not instead broke out after a violent departure of a Porsche from the GTC class chaos. I was really annoyed by speed, during the race completely lost track and einlegten every 10 minutes, a commercial break.

ADAC GT Masters Nurburgring: Still nothing has been decided

am 31. From 31 August 2010 at 10:00 │ Comments {4}

Two good race delivered from the ADAC GT Masters in the Eifel. Especially the second race after the second pit stop offered a lot of tension. Who has the ability to look at the last 30 minutes, should do so necessarily. And the championship is still open.

But first, for the first race: the Alpina BMW Matzke could translate his pole position right in the lead. Louis, meanwhile, had the Abt-Audi like a moment of shock, because he was touched lightly at the start, the car remained thankfully intact. His opponent in the battle for the championship, the Lamborghini Reiter was in 9th place behind the Callaway Corvette of Seiler and fought to the last place points.

The box is pulled apart very far forward could Matzke settle far from the rest of the field to make it to the point: The Alpina BMW should give up this position to the end of the race no longer retract and finally earned victory.

Indycar Chicagoland: A Worthy Winner?

am 30. Of on the 30th August 2010, at 18:34 │ Comments {3}

For nearly two hours Saturday night, Indy has offered everything from race fans had expected Chichago. But: If at the end may be "the wrong" won?

In the Indycar championship is exciting again. One thing is after the first of four oval race at the end of the season now finally clear. And, although Miesterschaftsleader Willpower long stretches of the run was much better way, when some had expected the Australian professional circuit. Then his team made a decisive mistake - and race winner Dario Franchitti had halved Powers championship lead. But otherwise it went on a half-mile oval in Joliet, Illinois, again very neatly to the point.

Formula One: Analysis of Spa 2010

am 30. From 30 August 2010, at 08:07 │ Comments {14}

The rain held in Belgium in the field boundaries and diced with each other only in moderation. Red Bull must think what we would now like to do with Vettel.

The McLaren and mixed with the cool conditions at Spa the best deal was signed, from as early as Friday. Even the Red Bull is not the best weekend would have it quickly became clear, and so the poles by Webber was somewhat surprising. Even more surprising, however, was the fact that Vettel was relatively poorly on the road throughout the weekend. For some reason he seemed just to have bigger problems on the driver's route. Whether it was because of poor coordination or the fact that change Red Bull because of the new wing tests the FIA ​​but something had to be hard to tell and will show up probably only on routes that require more downforce, which will be Singapore. But otherwise Vettel made a battered appearance.

Indycar: Chicagoland Preview

am 27. Of on the 27th August 2010, at 18:42 │ Comments {0}

For many fans, is what is on the Saturday night program, one of the highlights of the IRL season. Chicagoland Ride Risch is not particularly difficult - but there's always been incredibly close to the point there.

Even otherwise, the IndyCar Series this weekend has a lot to offer: Approximately 29 cars with the largest field that has ever existed outside of the Indy 500. And accordingly, the return of some fan favorites that have been lacking so far this year. In addition, previously such exciting championship enters its final phase. There, the big question will be whether it succeeds Dario Franchitti on the ovals to close the gap on "circuit champion" Will Power. But all is not bliss in the IRL: Behind the scenes, teams covet against the decision already made chassis for 2012.

Formula Preview - busy weekend

am 26. Of on the 26th August 2010, at 18:37 │ Comments {0}

After the unfortunate weekend in Budapest GP2 and GP3 return at Spa back onto the track. If that's not enough, the wave at the weekend also had live broadcasts from a few niche series.

So fast it works: Just the GP2 season has only just begun - there is already back finals at the door. Only Spa, Monza and the new date somewhat incongruous season finale in Abu Dhabi on the program. This is especially pleased Pastor Maldonado: The Venezoelaner has this season after years of Durtstrecke finally shown what it can do - and is three laps to go already 26 points ahead of his title rivals worst Sergio Perez. Similarly, the case appears clearly in the GP3: There will Esteban Gutiérrez already with 30 points ahead of Robert Wickens. And because the GP3 yet to decide their season already in Monza, the title is probably really just a formality. Well, then, that at least the track at Spa promises excitement.

Formula One: Spa 2010 Preview

am 26. From on 26 August 2010, at 10:10 │ Comments {2}

The three-week mandatory break in Formula One is over and the program is a true classic.

To spa is shrouded in myths and many traditions. The track in Belgium is one of the few classics that have remained in the calendar of Formula One. What other route has been changed in the last 20 years almost? Of course, sometimes built in a lot of spa. The Eau Rouge was defused, at many points you have installed handle larger run-off areas. Last disappeared the bus stop chicane and made a not elegant, but practical solution space. This year you will also have paved the Les Combes chicane after the Kemel-line skirts and fitted so as not too much shortens. Beautiful it is, but the bumpy grass at Les Combes was severely dangerous. But all in all, spa is just still spa. You can see at the track to compete for the nature around, and was not built purely in them. It goes up and down, it is sometimes narrow and of course it's raining like in the Ardennes. Spa makes even fun if the race is somewhat mau.
