Miguel Socías: UN RESULTADO BASTANTE SATISFACTORIO

La Copa Vallés Primoti visitó el Karting Club Finestrat en su segunda cita
UN RESULTADO BASTANTE SATISFACTORIO
Circuito de Karting de Finestrat, (Benidorm, España), domingo 14 de junio de 2009.
Bajo un radiante sol de verano se ha disputado este fin de semana el segundo
"meeting" de la Copa Vallés en el emblemático Circuito del Karting Club Finestrat
reuniendo a una parrilla de diecisiete pilotos de la categoría Alevín.
El balear Miguel Socías afrontaba esta carrera muy motivado ya que es un circuito
que le gusta bastante al ser muy técnico. En los entrenamientos del sábado el piloto
de la Escudería Mallorca Competició se lo tomaba con suma calma al estar rodando
un motor nuevo, de ahí que realizara un discreto décimo segundo puesto.
El domingo ya con el motor que proporcionaba la organización ascendía dos
posiciones al marcar un tiempo de 52′ 692. El campaneter no se conformaba con
este tiempo y prometía dar guerra en la primera carrera. Tras una excelente salida
en la que superaba a dos contrincantes el piloto de MS Motorsport imprimía un
buen ritmo de carrera que le catapultaba hasta la séptima plaza después de completar
las catorce vueltas de que constaba esta primera contienda. En las verificaciones
posteriores se excluía a dos participantes por anomalías en sus respectivos karts de
manera que el campaneter ascendía hasta el quinto lugar.
En la segunda carrera las cosas no salían tan bien. A Miguel Socías le tocaba salir
por la zona sucia y para más inri casi se "comía" a un piloto que había hecho un
trompo. En este pequeño incidente el alevín perdía la concentración y varias
posiciones. A medida que transcurría la carrera perdía fuelle al encontrarse algo
deshidratado debido a las altas temperaturas que nos han acompañado durante estos
dos días. Finalmente el joven piloto finiquitaba la segunda carrera el décimo.
En el cómputo total, la suma de sus dos mejores resultados, el balear se clasificaba
en la séptima plaza de la Copa Vallés Primoti, con 126 puntos, puesto que comparte
con Álvaro Garrido. Este ha sido el primer fin de semana donde la lluvia ha respetado
a los participantes y los mecánicos no han tenido que ir de cráneo con los reglajes
de los chasis y la carburación de los motores.
Miguel Socías nos comentaba al acabar la prueba:
"Me voy bastante contento el ritmo de carrera ha sido muy fuerte y hay pilotos que
van muy rápidos, a fecha de hoy son inalcanzables. La primera carrera me ha ido
muy bien con una buena salida y después he cogido un buen ritmo. En cuanto a la
segunda he empezado mal me he encontrado con un kart atravesado delante mío
y después me he despistado, a partir de aquí hacía mucho calor y no me encontraba
cómodo y he perdido algunos puestos. Creo que hay que ser positivos, no hemos
tenido toques y hemos cumplido una vez más con nuestra meta, mejorar. Eso he
hecho. En mi primera carrera en este trazado terminé en el décimo primer lugar,
hoy he acabado bastante más arriba, creo que el resultado es bastante satisfactorio."

Superleague Formula announces exciting new race format for 2009 season
16.6.2009 von Wolfgang.
The opening round of the 2009 Superleague Formula – staged at Magny-Cours, France on Sunday 28 June – will witness the introduction of an exciting new race format. As in 2008, race day will feature two 45-minute showdowns, the second with a reverse starting grid taken from the finishing results of the first. However the action-packed schedule will now reach its thrilling climax with a third race for the top three finishers from the first two races. This special six-car ‘shoot-out’ will decide the overall ‘Weekend Winner’. Extra championship points will not be on offer but the final results will determine the distribution of each event’s 333,000 € prize fund.
Superleague Formula’s Competition Director Robin Webb explains the rationale behind this exciting new development. “The fans have really responded to our unique Superleague Formula race format – particularly the reverse grid race which always produces some dramatic battles as the faster drivers fight their way through the pack from the back. But, while this double-header structure lets two different clubs celebrate success, it doesn’t provide us with an outright winner on the day. Now the introduction of this ‘six-car’ shoot-out will not only produce an overall victor but also provide race-goers and television audiences with a thrilling conclusion to the on-track action. We are always looking for new ways to entertain our fans and we believe this rousing finale will prove to be another hugely popular Superleague Fo rmula innovation.”
The exhilarating new three-race format will run at four of this season’s six Superleague Formula race meetings; those events at Magny Cours, Donington, Estoril and Jarama. There will be a ‘Weekend Winner’ at both Zolder and Monza but this time awarded to the club scoring the most championship points in the two 45-minute races.
Superleague Formula has also confirmed that 17 of the world’s most renowned soccer clubs will be represented on this year’s grid. Three new clubs – Olympique Lyonnais, FC Midtjylland and Sporting Clube de Portugal – are replacing Al-Ain, Beijing Guoan FC, Borussia Dortmund and Sevilla FC in the final 2009 line-up.
“We are significantly increasing the spectacle and excitement for the fans by investing more of our resources into the on-track entertainment in 2009 and are confident that a 17-car grid plus the revised race format will deliver even more excitement and unpredictability than in our highly successful inaugural season. This can only be to the benefit of the clubs, teams, drivers, sponsors and, most importantly, the millions of global fans who’ve already experienced the power and passion of the Superleague Formula,” said Webb.
Superleague Formula
Superleague Formula is the fusion of the two of the world’s most popular sports – capturing the passion of football with the thrill and excitement of motor racing. The new concept features a field of evenly matched V12-powered, 750 horsepower single seater racecars bearing the colours of the world’s leading football teams. Traditional rivals on the pitch are doing battle at some of the world’s greatest racetracks. The series kicked off in 2008 with 12 ‘double-header’ races staged at six of Europe’s premier venues. Underlining the competitive nature of Superleague Formula, no fewer than eight soccer clubs (AC Milan, Al-Ain, Beijing Guoan FC, BVB Borussia Dortmund, Liverpool FC, FC Porto, PSV Eindhoven and Sevilla FC) experienced race victories during what was a dramatic inaugural campaign. Building on this success, a slightly revised grid featuring three new clubs (Olympique Lyonnais, FC Midtjylland and Sporting Clube de Po rtugal) will contest the 2009 championship, which starts at Magny-Cours in France on 27/28 June.

FC Basel reunited with Max Wissel and GU Racing for 2009
16.6.2009 von Wolfgang.
Swiss high flyers FC Basel are banking on stability to produce top results in this year’s Superleague Formula, kicking off at Magny-Cours, France on 27/28 June. As in 2008, German teenage star Max Wissel will be in the hot seat of the 750bhp FC Basel single-seater racing car, which, once again will be managed by GU Racing.
“We had a lot to learn in 2008,” admitted Wissel. “I had to drive on numerous tracks that were new to me and we suffered from several technical failures. However, we were also able to gather many valuable experiences and, overall, the progress we made met my expectations. Our preparations for the 2009 season are currently being carried out at a high level and we are looking forward to an exciting season.”
The 19-year-old is certainly looking to improve on his best 2008 race result of fourth position as well as building on his relationship with the club. “The collaboration with FC Basel has been very understanding and friendly. So, on the one hand, it’ll bring stability to the team and, on the other, it provides me with further motivation. I hope there will be a victory or two to report,” he confirmed.
