ILMC: preview season finale in Zhuhai

am 11. From on 11 November 2011 at 18:00 │ Comments {0}

For probably the last time the fight vs Audi. Peugeot played as a duel before 2012 comes to Toyota.

23 ILMC Entries and six guest drivers, divided into six classes - really impressive is the list of participants for the last ILMC race (of the year as well at all) do not. The joint courses with the LMS in Europe and the ALMS in America could have more spectacular starting fields - in the case of the Petit Le Mans, even a bit oversized. For the only Asia-appearance of the series is not the problem, this is another reason why the originally planned Asian Le Mans Series has never really come about. Instead, there were now two ILMC race in Zhuhai, in 2012, it will then be one or two WEC race in Asia. The FIA World Cup next year should attract a slightly larger number of participants for the entire season and so also the Asian race, so the works immensely important for privateers, however, are hardly worthwhile. further accelerate →

# Lotus, Renault, Lotus Group, 1Malaysia, proton, in more intimate Gerichtssttreitigkeiten toothed protagonist, to an extensive smorgasbord of side-, second-and third-party licensing. These are the ingredients, it probably bizarre trademark dispute in Formula One, which it has ever been. Shortly summarized: There is a "Group Lotus" and "Lotus Team" by Tony Fernandes. And both argue about who should bear the name for now Lotus. This is all so complex and complicated, that I will try to resolve this in a separate article. I just have to find a wall that is large enough for the overview diagram. Meanwhile, I strongly recommend reading the blog entry by Will Buxton , who understands not everything. Don

# Interesting Things are going to Pastor Maldonado, who apparently has half the national budget of Venezuela in the luggage and as an incentive for various teams. So far, it appeared that Williams probably has to take the GP2 champion, because goodbye Air Asia, RBR and Philips as sponsors. A few days ago but was aware that Maldonado will test for HRT, which apparently makes no sense at first glance. In the second it looks different, because for one HRT also needs the money for other supplies to the Spaniards yes 2011, the Williams gear and thus probably also the construction of the tail. So it could well be that HRT and Williams will share the money from Maldonado. He gets a contract used by Williams, but is parked in HRT before ever allowed to power in 2012 or 2013 for Williams. Thus, Williams could have done the problem elegantly, if you throw out or Barrichello will now Hulkenberg. Don

am 9. From on 9 November 2010, at 18:46 │ Comments {0}

Peugeot Le Mans the first International Cup with a nearly spotless record won. In Zhuhai, Audi nothing against the French, even though it is rare so close.

Apart from the pole position at Silverstone, which took a surprisingly Allan McNish, Peugeot has in the three-race ILMC cleared everything. This time, however, Audi had a real chance of winning in a race that was dominated by the tire strategy. Both teams were trying to drive a double stint with the Michelins, but this did not succeed consistently. So had a Peugeot in the initial phase of the 1000km race an advantage in the middle hours, however, the increasing amount of rubber privileged, on the track (on Saturday it had rained, the rubber from the workout was washed away accordingly) then Audi, who took over the management and faster lead times. further accelerate →
