What else was a week
VLN: Preview 35th DMV Münsterlandpokal
On Saturday, the VLN starts in her last race, the so-called ham race, before they passed in the winter. While the fight for the championship since the last run as good as won, this race will see some major comebacks.
It was the last race last year, as an era came to an end. Given that today was the last appearance of VLN Scheid Motorsport with its legendary blue BMW M3 GTR-S - also known as "Eifelblitz" - is held. Since then drove the blue BMW, the difference for motor sports in 2008 when the 6th race 24H Rank and reached an audience favorite was no longer race. The reason: The car was severely restricted due to the SP7 of the former overall winner-capable class is no longer in a position to compete for victory ride - the expense was worth no more for the team with it.
NASCAR: Talladega Preview October 2010
This weekend, Chase race at Talladega is number 7 on the plan. The Superspeedway will probably provide the preliminary decision for the final sprint of the three races at Texas, Phoenix and Homestead. NOTE: Starting as early as about 18:15 clock.
The very popular "restrictor plate" racing on the super speedways of Daytona and Talladega are annually among the absolute highlights of the NASCAR calendar. The Talladega Superspeedway is 2.66 miles long and an extreme banking of 33 ° is a real monster in the landscape. These data make possible extremely fast speeds, which mentioned the "restrictor plates" must be slowed. In the linked article to the track itself is next to a description of the oval to see why NASCAR introduced at the time of this limitation. This type of racing is characterized by a feature, the so-called "bump drafting". The following section in which the driving technique is explained, the Talladega preview comes from the spring - after all, I have not invented the world so new:
SLF: Close call in Navarre
With an extremely exciting race, Superleague Formula has passed after its second season into the winter break. At the end of Davide Rigon was the lucky winner - and Craig Dolby is a tragic hero.
Only two points separated Craig Dolby and Tottenham Hotspur at the end of the title in the Superleague Formula - and one million euros in prize money. To illustrate: If one assumes that the 699 points of Masters Rigon and RSC Anderlecht of the distance from Earth to the Moon correspond, then if the two points a distance of only about 1,000 miles - that's just over the road from Flensburg to Munich. Or something simple words: what has happened over the weekend in Navarre, was incredibly thrilling motor sport. That it was not as exciting, but also to the race format is attributed to favorable to narrow choices. Let us hope that we will again see the SLF in the coming year.
Also-rans: The News Happen
/ / Williams has confirmed that in addition to F2 champion Dean Stoneman also GP2 champion Pastor Maldonado at the Young Driver's test after the race in Abu Dhabi for the traditional British team will be sitting in the car. This could also be a nod to a certain obligation of Venezoelanders in 2011. Because testing time is precious in F1 after all - to use a driver from which you already suspect that he might be on the team in 2011, would certainly make sense for the team. Hulkenberg manager Willi Weber insists, meanwhile, in an interview with dpa that nothing had been decided - there is also the case that Williams could be forced for financial reasons, to take Maldonado. In this case, there was in F1 for Hulkenberg but in any case alternatives. (Caution)
/ / Lotus has a few well-managed negotiation efforts endgülitg to conclude in 2011 an engine deal with Renault. After a positive start negotiating team boss Tony Fernandes as part of the Singapore GP of the deal already more or less live on the BBC had confirmed. Then began the fight for the Lotus team name, the Renault was probably a little insecure. In Korea, it now but then reached a final agreement - report at least in words very safe sports car and Joe Saward , referring to an insider. An official confirmation will probably give it accordingly in Brazil. (Caution)

NASCAR: Martinsville October 2010 Analysis
Denny Hamlin extended the uncanny Martinsville series, which he started together with Jimmie Johnson in late 2006 to another race. With only a total of 40 laps he was able to get his first chase success and close the gap significantly in the championship. Kevin Harvick, meanwhile, stays tuned, while the rest is as good as outside.
The Martinsville race on Sunday was pretty exciting, because over the course of 500 rounds put a total of seven different drivers for more than 30 laps in the lead. Denny Hamlin started the day in front of the field and ended it there, too, in between the field replaced by the shortest short track season sometimes the proper positions. In addition, while 15 Cautions produced a lot of scrap and drove for about a fifth of the race under yellow flag. At the end of the yellow flags were out, but what just took advantage of Hamlin. For while he forwards his lonely rounds Mäkinen, someone behind him, turned again to the right, with which you had not expected:
Formula One: Analysis of Korea GP 2010
Somewhat surprisingly, the event in Korea versackte not in the expected chaos. Even in the rain, they kept track of what you could not say by all drivers.
The real sensation at the weekend was "The track in Korea is ready." Did the course a few weeks ago as of yet, as if you were allowed to plan an event for next year, they can get it by workers flown in from Germany and half the Army in Korea, at least fertigzubekommen track and pit area. If the army had known with any dictator from North Korea ... Even the asphalt did he not crumbled under the weight of the F1-wide tires, even oiled it to himself. Even in the wet, the drivers were not enough grip. Hermann Tilke, who had supervised the final work clearly mentioned that the special polymer asphalt / bitumen mixture would contain what it would be a quick cure for hand, on the other hand, he would therefore not be oiled. On the other hand, this meant that the water could not seep into the asphalt, as could be seen in the race. All of Mark Webber was after his disastrous mistakes but do not care, because who has probably put his World Cup in the wall.

FIA GT1: Preview of Navarre in 2010
The FIA GT1 world championship still belongs to those who continue this year, something else. However, there appears to be certain of the masters already.
Navarre? Nor heard, many people think. The editorial in the same province in northern Spain have been opened and only this year. The boom in terms of new courses in Spain holds so whether this will remain so over the years is another matter. Navarre is a fairly short distance, just 4 kilometers long, but it has 15 turns. Is a video of a lap on the track it in the preview for Super League race. The heavy GT1 will do in any case difficult to Navarre. But it went so well in the Adriatic, the drivers are familiar with so that the narrow lines.
NASCAR: Martinsville Preview October 2010
In Martinsville starts the second half and chase only three pilots struggle within 100 points for the championship. The pursuer Jeff Gordon, Kyle Busch and Tony Stewart in urgent need of a victory as possible in order to be there still. So it is bad that the short track is just the most powerful range of Top2.
This weekend begins the final sprint to the play-off trophy and just the top two drivers have a chance at the Martinsville Speedway pull away. Leader Jimmie Johnson and Denny Hamlin have his pursuers on the short track in Virginia rented practically the "victory lane": Since late 2006, won in Martinsville none other than the two drivers in a race. Such a statistic is not fit to the persecutors, but being able to demonstrate at least Jeff Gordon similarly strong results. Kevin Harvick will have to try to save himself with a Top 10 result after Talladega. The other pilots could chase after a bad weekend in Martinsville, at least realistically be out of the decision. At the beginning of the article I would like to briefly discuss the hammer News of the week, which spilled over yesterday on the U.S. side:
