DTM-Piloten feiern „Eine Nacht auf Eis“ in Wiesbaden
7.2.2010 von Wolfgang.
Die Stiftung Deutsche Sporthilfe lockte am Samstagabend viel Prominenz zum 40. „Ball des Sports“ nach Wiesbaden. DTM-Pilot Ralf Schumacher (Mercedes-Benz) und Champion Timo Scheider (Audi) mischten sich unter Sportikonen wie Maria Riesch, Steffi Nerius, Nico Rosberg, Heiner Brand, Regina Halmich, Henry Maske, Sven Ottke und Sporthilfe-Vize Franziska van Almsick. Die Rennfahrer fuhren in den offiziellen DTM-Safety-Cars der Premium-Automobilhersteller Audi und Mercedes-Benz vor.
Der Einladung zur Jubiläumsgala zu Gunsten des deutschen Spitzensports folgten 1.800 geladene Gäste aus Politik, Wirtschaft und Unterhaltung in die hessische Landeshauptstadt. Stars und Sternchen erlebten eine exklusive Veranstaltung unter dem Motto „Eine Nacht auf Eis“. Mit einer spektakulären Eröffnungsinszenierung schürten Franziska Schenk und andere Wintersportler auf einer eigens aufgebauten Eisfläche die Vorfreude aller Gäste auf die Olympischen Winterspiele in Vancouver. Den musikalischen Höhepunkt des Abends bildete die deutsche Popband ‚Ich & Ich’ mit Hits wie „Pflaster“ und „Vom selben Stern“. Nach dem Jubiläumsprogramm im Ballsaal gab der „Parcours des Sports“ auch dem hochkarätigen Publikum die Gelegenheit, sich selbst aufs Eis zu wagen. An acht Aktivstationen animierten Nachwuchs- und Top-Athleten die Gäste zu Sportarten von Curling bis Eishockey.
Die Ziehung der Tombola-Losfarbe wurde traditionell durch den Wiesbadener Notar Dr. Thomas Betzler, Vorstand für Recht und Finanzen des DTM-Rechteinhabers und Vermarkters ITR e.V., beaufsichtigt.
Die DTM richtete als offizieller Partner erneut die offizielle After-Show-Party der erfolgreichsten Sport-Benefiz-Veranstaltung Europas aus. Inmitten einer exklusiven Kulisse mit zwei originalen DTM-Fahrzeugen ließen die prominenten Gäste im „DTM Race Club“ bei Live-Musik und DJ eine gelungene Jubiläumsveranstaltung ausklingen.

Liebe Rallye-Gemeinde,
Zur 8. OCC Classic Rallye Triest-Wien haben wir die besten Hotels für Sie reserviert - Buchen Sie jetzt!
Auch 2010 führt die Route wieder von der Küste über die Alpen in die ehemalige k.u.k. Hauptstadt. Die 8. OCC Classic Rallye Triest-Wien bietet neben dem gewünschten Grad der sportlichen Herausforderung - ob Race oder Regularity Class - auch eine Kurzurlaubsatmosphäre, mit abwechselnden Anteilen an Entspannung und Unterhaltung.
Nicht nur die Strecken mit atemberaubende Landschaft sind ein touristischer wie fahrerischer Genuss - auch in den ausgesuchten Hotels und beim Rahmenprogramm können die Teilnehmer stilvoll dem Alltag entrinnen.
Gleich zu Beginn venezianisches Lebensgefühl gepaart mit der Opulenz der Wiener Habsburger: Start wird am 1. September in Portoroz sein. Seit dem 13. Jahrhundert lockt der "Hafen der Rosen" immer wieder Gäste an, die das therapeutische Meersalz und die Schlammbäder nutzen. Die erste Nacht werden die Teilnehmer im 5-Sterne-Hotel Kempinski Palace nächtigen. Das erste Haus am Platz bietet neben exzellentem Service auch ein außergewöhnliches Rose Spa.

Am folgenden Tag geht es für beide Klassen via Triest durch Slowenien nach Klagenfurt. Für uns reserviert sind Zimmer im Lindner Seepark Hotel. Der architektonisch außergewöhnliche Bau liegt inmitten einer wunderschönen Lagune am Ufer des Wörthersees und bietet Wellness-Entspannung auf höchstem Niveau. Viel Zeit werden wir dafür aber nicht haben, denn an diesem Abend ist Party angesagt.
Am Freitag führen die Routen beider Klassen durch Kärnten und die Steiermark nach Niederösterreich. Ziel ist das idyllische Schlosshotel Eisenstrasse in Waidhofen an der Ybbs. Das frühbarocke, revitalisierte Schloss bietet ein reichhaltiges Wellness-Angebot, eine trendige Hotelbar und einen antiken Weinkeller - was wir ausgiebig nutzen wollen.
Über die Wachau geht es für beide Klassen am letzten Fahrtag nach Wien. Der Ankunft in der Innenstadt vor historischer Kulisse folgt abends die Rallye-Abschlussfeier im urtypischen Wiener Heurigen bei Familie Zimmermann - wobei alle Teilnehmer der Rallye bleibende Eindrücke des oft besungenen "Wiener Heurigen" mit nach Hause nehmen werden.
In Wien stehen zwei verschiedene Hotels - je nach Hotelpaket - zur Verfügung: das charmante 4-Sterne-Hotel Mercure Biedermeier, gelegen in einer ruhigen, denkmalgeschützten Alt-Wiener Biedermeierpassage, oder das Radisson Blue Palais Hotel mit 5-Sterne-Komfort, das in seinen beiden Palaisgebäuden die Eleganz der Wiener Ringstrassenmonarchie wiederaufleben lässt.

Bridgestone Motorsport’s GP2 Asia Series Report
6.2.2010 von Wolfgang.
Oliver Turvey and Davide Valsecchi, iSport International teammates, have taken a win apiece at round two of the GP2 Asia Series, held at night under the bright lights of the 5.554km Abu Dhabi Yas Marina Circuit. The medium compound Bridgestone GP2 tyre, the same as provided at the same venue for Round 1 in November, performed well and gave consistent performances throughout the weekend. With track temperatures approximately 20°C lower this time however, the GP2 Asia drivers had the new challenge of keeping plenty of heat in their tyres. The weekend started with a dusty track but by the time qualifying started and Frenchman Charles Pic (Arden International) had stormed to pole just 0.02 and 0.1 seconds ahead of Turvey and Valsecchi respectively, the circuit had started to clean up, setting the scene for the races to come. The 33-lap feature race went to Turvey, the rookie having stolen the lead on the opening lap and fended off his teammate Valsecchi. Constantly under pressure, the Briton took care to manage his Bridgestone tyres and controlled the race from the start. Mandatory pitstops commenced on lap 6 with Javier Villa diving in first and Turvey waiting until lap 10 before making his stop to emerge again in front of his Italian teammate. Most drivers elected to change their rear tyres. It was a hard fought race with the top six drivers running within 4-5 seconds of each other until the safety car came out on lap 22 but Turvey was unwilling to relinquish his lead. Although running third by the end of lap 1, Pic failed to capitalise on his pole position, having run wide on lap 12. Valsecchi took second to add 9 points, including a fastest lap bonus, to his tally from Round 1 and Jules Bianchi (ART Grand Prix) took a remarkable third place podium in his debut GP2 Asia race. Race 2 witnessed yet another spirited drive from Valsecchi. Having finished second in Race 1 on Friday, he took his second victory of the 2009-2010 series in spite of the reversed grid system that pushed him back to seventh on the starting grid. Valsecchi was consistently quick throughout the race, overtaking even in the last stages of the race and setting the fastest lap, a 1min 52,061secs, on lap 18 of the race’s 21-lap sprint duration. Michael Herck and Giacomo Ricci made it a double podium for DPR with second and third places. Leaving Abu Dhabi, Valsecchi leads the drivers’ championship with 35 points from Turvey on 16. Rossi is third with 10. The teams’ championship is led by iSport International on 51 points from DPR on 15. Super Nova is in third place on 14. The next round of the GP2 Asia Series takes place in Bahrain on February 26-27. Quote from Kentaro Yamamoto – Bridgestone Motorsport GP2 Asia Series Engineer “First of all, I would like to express my congratulations to Oliver Turvey, who clinched his first victory in GP2 here and also to Davide Valsecchi, who took victory in Race 2, following his 2nd position in Race 1. After the series opener in November, this was the second consecutive round of the GP2 Asia Series to be held at the Yas Marina Circuit, and in comparison, the track temperature was lower this weekend by about 20 degrees. Unlike the last round in the heat, this time it was critical for each driver to heat up the tyres as quickly as possible, or as we saw in both races, maintain the heat during the safety car period. Our medium compound Bridgestone tyres worked well again and many drivers set their best lap times in the final stages of the races.”

HENRY HO TO JOIN AT MID SEASON
6.2.2010 von Wolfgang.
Macanese driver Ho Wai Kun, better known as Henry Ho, is due to join the 2010 FIA WTCC at mid season in a BMW 320si car run by the experienced Liqui Moly Team Engstler.
The 24-year-old Ho who claimed two Macau Touring Car Championship titles in 2008 and 2009, was in negotiations with the German outfit to find the budget for the whole season, after making his first WTCC appearances last year at Okayama and his home racetrack.
"It was one of my targets to build up a new team with Asian drivers. But same as in Europe, we had to face the financial crisis in Asia too and we failed to find the budget for the whole season. However, Ho Wai Kun will join us from the middle of the season," team mager Kurt Treml explained.
Liqui Moly Team Engstler are due to announce their driver line-up in the next few days.
Henry Ho plans a comeback after racing at Okayama and Macau in 2009
ALAIN MENU SET FOR HOME RACE
6.2.2010 von Wolfgang.
Like all the Swiss drivers, Alain Menu has not many opportunities to race in his home country. Despite a great motorsport tradition, Switzerland has no racing tracks and laws that limit motorsport to a few rallies and hill-climbing events.
However, Menu will have the chance to delight his home fans when he takes part in a demonstration at the Course Automobile de Romont, in the Fribourg canton on June 12th and 13th, driving a two-seater Chevrolet Cruze WTCC. The Geneva-born driver will be the guest of honor at the 40th edition of this traditional event.
Before the start of the FIA WTCC season, Menu will carry out the final testing session in Valencia, on February 17th and 18th, alongside team mates Robert Huff and Yvan Muller.
BAMBOO UNVEIL WTCC PROGRAMME
6.2.2010 von Wolfgang.
England-based bamboo-engineering launched today their maiden campaign in the FIA World Touring car Championship. The team will field two Chevrolet Lacetti cars for drivers Harry Vaulkhard and Darryl O’Young who will be the first Chinese driver ever to take part in a full WTCC season.
O’Young, 29-years-old from Hong Kong, who won the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia twice in 2006 and 2008, said: "To be competing in an FIA World Championship has been one of my targets for many years now, so to be able to enter the WTCC is an amazing opportunity!"
Harry Vaulkhard, 24-years-old from Britain, has been a front-runner in the BTCC the last two seasons, after winning the Seat Cupra Cup in 2007. "The WTCC is where I’ve always aspired to be some day but to be honest this has come sooner than I expected. I have learnt so much in 2009 and I am really confident I can get some great results in 2010," he declared.
Team manager Richard Coleman explained: "We have a great driver line up: Harry showed last year in the BTCC and the ETCC what he can achieve. Darryl is a huge talent and once adapted to front wheel drive I expect him to be a regular podium contender in the Independents’ Trophy."
Chevrolet Motorsport Manager Eric Nève commented: "This is the first time we see Chevrolet cars competing full-time in the Independents’ Trophy, and we warmly welcome this development, as it demonstrates the level of confidence that top independent teams have on our products and racing services. We will follow closely the bamboo campaign and wish them all the best."

Upgraded F2 car makes huge gains in pace

Upgraded F2 car makes huge gains in pace
Williams JPH1B betters Formula Renault 3.5 pole time in Portimão
The upgraded Williams JPH1B F2 car has enjoyed a hugely impressive track debut during pre-season testing at Spain and Portugal. The car ran for the first time at Barcelona last Thursday, 28 January, and on the first day of the test programme achieved an impressive 1m 35.7sec best lap - which compares remarkably with the pole position time of 1m 39.0 set by Robert Wickens for the first F2 race at Barcelona last year and the 1m 38.0 fastest time for race two qualifying.
The upgrade package yielded similarly impressive gains at Portimão on 2 February, with a laptime of 1:33.280s eclipsing the corresponding 2009 pole time for Formula Renault 3.5.
Such significant improvements are the result of an extensive upgrade package implemented over the winter by both MotorSport Vision and the Williams F1 team. Among the new features, the car has benefited from a package of aerodynamic revisions following an extensive CFD evaluation programme by the Williams team, increasing maximum downforce by 30% and improving aerodynamic efficiency by 24%.
Despite low temperatures and grip levels, the revisions yielded instant and sizeable gains when the two cars first took to the track in Barcelona last week. Soucek’s personal best of 1:35.770s compared with his best effort of 1:38.163 when F2 visited the circuit in 2009.
The operation then moved to Portimão, Portugal, where the team continued to make significant advances whilst also gathering further valuable information about the new upgrades. Soucek again made substantial improvements, posting a best effort of 1:33.280s - almost three tenths faster than the 2009 pole time for Formula Renault 3.5.
Formula Two Series Director Jonathan Palmer hailed the significant advances the team had made during pre-season testing, saying: "Patrick Head and the Williams F1 personnel working on F2 have done a great job to substantially hike the performance of the F2 car for 2010. In 2009 to achieve the target of making our first race on schedule, development time was inevitably compromised as the design had to be frozen for manufacture quite early.
"The 2010 F2 package of upgrades is the result of many months’ careful work, particularly aerodynamic modelling with the CFD programme. The team went to Barcelona via Lurcy-Levis in France to do straight line testing, which reassuringly verified the CFD theory.
"It was very encouraging to see such instant pace improvement on the opening day of our test programme at Barcelona. To be 2.4 seconds faster than our fastest pole position time so soon and in less than optimal conditions was pretty impressive."
Speaking after Portimão, Giles Butterfield, Group Head of Operations, was delighted with the progress made: "We made a massive step forward in Barcelona and Portimão, and so early in our test programme that is extremely positive. Our main aim was to evaluate the new aerodynamic package; we weren’t necessarily chasing lap times, but rather an understanding of the car and how it has improved. We were able to gather a lot of very valuable information, and it was excellent to have made such significant gains. To have gone quicker than the 2009 Formula Renault 3.5 pole time at Portimão is great and there are still improvements to come, which is really encouraging."
2009 F2 Champion Andy Soucek was similarly enthusiastic, saying: "We’ve made some massive improvements to the F2 car. When you have more power, less weight and better aerodynamics then the car is always going to be better, but to be so much quicker straight away was really impressive - even more so because the temperatures were extremely cold and there is very little rubber on the surface of the track.
"Barcelona is perhaps the most complete track in Europe to test on, which is why F1 teams love going there, and it really gave us a good basis to set up the car and evaluate the new changes. Overall the car feels similar to drive to last year’s but you can really feel the effect of the aerodynamic improvements and the extra grip they bring."

Al-Attiyah gets Skoda for IRC debut
4.2.2010 von Wolfgang.
Nasser Al-Attiyah will make his Intercontinental Rally Challenge debut on Rally Argentina next month, driving a Skoda Fabia S2000 for the Belgian Rene Georges Rally Sport team.
The highly-regarded Qatari, 39, is a hero in Argentina after he finished runner-up to Carlos Sainz on the Dakar Rally, which started and finished in the capital Buenos Aires last month.
He is also no stranger to the Villa Carlos Paz-based Rally Argentina, having won Group N on the event when it counted towards the World Rally Championship in 2009. He has experience of Super 2000 technology after winning the Qatar International Rally in an M-Sport Ford Fiesta last month.
Al-Attiyah, a six-time Middle East rally champion, will also contest other selected rounds of this year’s IRC and his programme will be confirmed after Rally Argentina.
Nasser Al-Attiyah will enter selected IRC events
New superspecial stage for Curitiba
Competitors on Rally Internacional de Curitiba are set for a spectacular finish to the Intercontinental Rally Challenge event when the series resumes in Brazil next month.
A new 3.38-kilometre superspecial stage is being built close to the Autodromo Internacional de Curitiba where the gravel rally will be based from 4-6 March. It will mark the 15th and final stage of the event, round two of the IRC.
Crews will tackle the stage in pairs and organisers hope that up to 15,000 spectators will turn up to watch.
Event promoter Marcos Marcola said: "There will be a bridge with a crossing point so we can have two cars side by side. The stage is close to the city of Curitiba and close to the service park so we hope it will make it easy for the fans to go and see. Everybody likes this kind of show and I think it will be very exciting for the rally and for the drivers."
Meeke set for French test run
Intercontinental Rally Challenge champion Kris Meeke will prepare for the second round of the series in Brazil next month with a four-day test in France from 8-11 February.
The 30-year-old from Northern Ireland won Rally Internacional de Curitiba when it was included in the IRC for the first time last season. It was his first of four victories during his title-winning campaign.
He said: "It’s a five-day Peugeot Sport test and I’m doing four days. More time in the car is always good and we should head to Brazil in good shape."
Peugeot UK driver Meeke received more good news recently when he was presented with the Association of Northern Ireland Car Clubs’ Northern Ireland Motorsport Award.
Oliveira impresses team boss Stohl
Manfred Stohl has said his team’s driver Daniel Oliveira exceeded his expectations when he finished the 78th Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo last month in 20th overall.
The Intercontinental Rally Challenge opener was the first time the Brazilian had driven on snow and ice and Stohl said he was full of praise for the 24-year-old.
"One week before the rally he tested for two days in Austria and that was the first time he had driven on snow and ice," said Stohl. "Because of this I did not expect him to finish because the conditions were so difficult. But he listened very well and did a very good job to finish the rally. I was very pleased."
Oliveira’s Stohl Racing Peugeot 207 S2000 is currently being shipped to South America where rounds two and three of the IRC will take place next month.
Daniel Oliveira has made a strong start to his IRC career
