Gabi Arrabal en la Subida al Castell de Son Mas 2009

Gabi Arrabal se encuentra con la victoria tras un accidente de otro competidor
INESPERADO FINAL DE LA SUBIDA AL CASTELL DE SON MAS
Andratx, (Illes Balears, España) domingo21 de junio de 2009.
Con un tiempo más bien veraniego, con sol y una ligera brisa y con un trazado seco
pero bastante resbaladizo por el tipo de asfalto, la Subida al Castell de Son Mas ha dado
el pistoletazo de salida a la temporada 2009 del Campeonato de Baleares de Montaña.
Ayer sábado se iniciaba la competición que reunía a veintisiete participantes en las
inmediaciones del Castell de Son Mas. A todos ellos les esperaban dos ascensiones de
entrenos, donde Gabi Arrabal marcaba el mejor registro al mando del Bango BRC 05
parando el crono con un tiempo de 2:13′ 008 en la segunda manga. En la primera subida
el piloto pobler tanteaba el terreno sin aplicarse demasiado, una vez finalizada la manga
y de regreso a la asistencia los mecánicos modificaban ligeramente los reglajes
endureciendo un poco la suspensión y variando la altura de la CM al suelo. De esta
manera en la segunda subida de entrenamientos marcaría el mejor registro del fin de
semana aventajando al segundo clasificado en más de ocho segundos. El piloto de la
Escudería Mallorca Competició sin saberlo dejaba la subida sentenciada de cara a la
carrera del domingo.
La jornada de hoy domingo empezaba con tiempo nublado, pero con la carretera seca.
A las nueve de la mañana se daba inicio a la tercera manga de entrenamientos oficiales
donde de nuevo Gabi Arrabal imponía su ley sin asumir riesgos parando el cronómetro
en 2:21′ 714. En la cuarta y última ascensión de entrenos el pobler se acercaba al mejor
crono del sábado reservándose un par de segundos para la subida de carrera. Subida
que no llegaría a disputar al sufrir un accidente José A. Serra con un BMW 320. Faltaban
tres pilotos para tomar la salida más dos que estaban en carrera cuando el control de
puesto número siete solicitaba los servicios de las ambulancias. Al parecer había
espectadores con daños de distinta consideración. El piloto ibicenco salía ileso del
incidente, pero al chocar su vehículo contra un guarda raíl varios espectadores caían
por un terraplén produciéndose distintos daños corporales en la caída. Tras quedarse
la organización de la prueba sin las ambulancias se reunían los comisarios deportivos
con los pilotos que faltaban por tomar la salida y se decidía dar por concluida la carrera
adjudicando a los cinco participantes que bien, no habían llegado a meta ó no habían
tomado la salida, su mejor tiempo de entrenamientos. De esta manera Gabi Arrabal se
atribuía la victoria de la XIII Subida al Castell de Son Mas.
Los comentarios de Gabi Arrabal antes de la entrega de premios eran:
"No me gusta para nada ganar de esta forma, hubiera preferido vencer en la carretera,
pero a veces las cosas vienen de esa manera, que puedo decir. Siento mucho lo que ha
ocurrido y aunque el incidente es un daño colateral, ya que el vehículo no ha tocado a
ningún espectador, hay personas con daños físicos y eso a uno le duele y la desmotiva,
ahora mismo no tengo ningunas ganas de celebrar nada, tan solo deseo una pronta
recuperación a estos aficionados y me encantaría que todo quedara en un susto."

Zanardi and Hernández win one apiece
21.6.2009 von Wolfgang.
ROUNDS 11 & 12 - BRNO
RACE 1 & 2 REPORT
BMW ITALY-SPAIN TAKE ALL IN BRNO
The BMW Team Italy-Spain won both the WTCC races at Brno, proving once again that they are the outfit to beat when the series visits the Czech Republic. Figures say it all, with four victories out of the six latest WTCC races on the Masaryk circuit.
Alessandro Zanardi encored his Race 1 success from last year, while his young Spanish team-mate, Sergio Hernández collected the baton in the second race and claimed his first WTCC victory.
BMW claimed a double win as it was expected, however the final outcome was not as rewarding as the German manufacturer hoped in terms of championship points.
As a matter of fact BMW’s best-placed drivers - Augusto Farfus and Andy Priaulx - collected only one point (Priaulx in Race 2), which enabled SEAT Sport’s Yvan Muller to further stretch his lead margin: 10 points ahead of Gabriele Tarquini, with Farfus a further two points behind.
As a partial consolation BMW cut the gap from SEAT to 8 points in the Manufacturers’ Championship.
Félix Porteiro, of Proteam Motorsport, dominated the Independents’ field, scoring a massive 44 points over the weekend and building a 26-point lead in the Trophy.
The championship will resume in Porto, Portugal, on July 5th, for rounds 13 and 14.

Bridgestone Motorsport’s British Grand Prix Report
21.6.2009 von Wolfgang.
Red Bull Racing driver Sebastian Vettel scored his second race win of the season after he used a two stop, soft – soft – hard tyre strategy to win a fast-paced British Grand Prix in cool and cloudy conditions at Silverstone.
Vettel finished fifteen seconds ahead of team-mate Mark Webber, who used the same strategy. The final podium position went to Brawn GP Formula 1 Team driver Rubens Barrichello, who used a softhard- soft tyre strategy. Bridgestone’s soft tyre proved to be the superior race tyre here for most competitors, giving a faster lap time than the hard, and giving good consistency too.
Hiroshi Yasukawa – Director of Bridgestone Motorsport, says
“Congratulations to Sebastian Vettel for his second race win of the season and Red Bull Racing on their second one-two of the year. Silverstone has a great atmosphere and we have seen a fantastic crowd here throughout the weekend in what is both a very important market for Bridgestone and an important base for our Bridgestone Motorsport operation.”
Hirohide Hamashima - Bridgestone Director of Motorsport Tyre Development, says
“Today we saw very hot pace from the Red Bulls in the cool weather conditions as they used the Bridgestone hard and soft tyre s very well indeed. The best lap times of both Red Bull cars were over half a second faster than anyone else. The soft Bridgestone worked very well, especially after the second stint when there was more rubber down on the track. The hard Bridgestone did take longer to deliver its best lap time and we saw a number of illustrations of this as part of some interesting battles for position. Silverstone helped serve us an exciting fast race here today.”

Soucek takes Race Two win in Brno
21.6.2009 von Wolfgang.
Spaniard claims maiden F2 victory ahead of Jousse and De Marco
Andy Soucek has won his first FIA Formula Two Championship race in Brno, Czech Republic, this afternoon (Sunday).
Front row starters Henry Surtees and Mikhail Aleshin did not get away from the line, which allowed Nicola De Marco into the lead. Soucek leapt from fifth on the grid up to second after he passed Julien Jousse around the outside at turn one.
The opening lap drama continued at turn two as seven cars were involved in a collision, which left Alex Brundle, Henri Karjalainen, German Sanchez, Pietro Gandolfi and Carlos Iaconelli out of the race. Jens Hoing and Robert Wickens were able to continue, although Wickens later retired.
De Marco dominated much of the race, before making a small mistake and dropping down to fourth on lap ten. The Italian was able to recover from the spin and re-passed Edoardo Piscopo in the closing stages to take the final podium position.
This left Andy Soucek to march on to his maiden F2 victory after a faultless display. Julien Jousse scored his first Formula Two podium, taking second at the finish, whilst it was a bittersweet moment for De Marco - the Italin scored his first F2 podium, but had looked certain to win race until his spin.
Piscopo held fourth ahead of Miloš Pavlović and Armaan Ebrahim who rounded out the top six. The fight for seventh was intense as Sebastian Hohenthal, Tobias Hegewald, Kazim Vasiliauskas and Philipp Eng swapped places at will. Contact was made between Hohenthal and Iaconelli, which dropped the Swede down to 12th. Hohenthal also later collided with championship leader Mirko Bortolotti - the Italian’s race ending in the gravel. It was Hegewald who went on to steal seventh, with Vasiliauskas clinching the final championship point.
Amazingly, 17 drivers have already scored points after just four rounds of the championship. All three Red Bull Junior drivers failed to finish the second race at Brno, but they still hold a 1-2-3 lead in the championship. Bortolotti leads Wickens by one point, with Aleshin a further four points back. Impressive results for Julien Jousse and Andy Soucek have thrust the pair back into contention towards the top of the standings, having scored 16 and 15 points respectively.
Andy Soucek said: “It was a great race. I made a good start and I was going to attack Nicola but it was too risky. I had a good fight with Julien but to get my first win was amazing. The next round at Spa Francorchamps is my favourite track, so I hope to fight for podiums or even a victory there.”
Julien Jousse said: “The race was tricky at the beginning with the cars stopped in front of me, but I got a good start anyway. The fight with Andy was very hard but it was good points for the championship and I hope I can continue like that.”
Nicola De Marco said: “I made a mistake and I am very disappointed. I had a good start and I was quick throughout the race. Normally I do not make mistakes but I did in this moment. I lost out on victory, but at least it is my first podium in Formula Two."

Bridgestone Motorsport British GP2
21.6.2009 von Wolfgang.
Alberto Valerio (Piquet GP) and Pastor Maldonado (ART Grand Prix) both secured race wins in the fourth round of the Bridgestone-supported GP2 Series at Silverstone, using Bridgestone’s medium specification racing slick. Known as one of the fastest circuits currently in Formula One, Silverstone offers GP2 drivers the opportunity to experience the high-speed Copse corner and section through Maggotts, whilst also demanding a car set- up and driving style that can optimise tyre performance during the slow complex in the last sector. In Saturday’s action packed 36 lap feature race, Brazilian driver Valerio took his maiden GP2 victory having started from second on the grid behind Romain Grosjean (Barwa Addax Team). Lucas di Grassi (Fat Burner Racing Engineering) finished second, with Nico Hulkenberg from ART Grand Prix crossing the line in third, also adding a point for fastest lap to his championship tally. Bridgestone’s tyre degradation has been lower than expected and less compared to last year, suggesting teams have adapted their car set-up well to manage the medium compound. Sunday’s 24 lap sprint race was won by Venezuelan driver Maldonado, his second sprint race win of the season. Andreas Zuber (FMSI) and Karun Chandhok (Ocean Racing Technology) finished second and third, with Maldonado being awarded fastest lap. Grosjean takes back the lead of the drivers’ championship on 40 points, ahead of team-mate Vitaly Petrov on 33. Maldonado is in third with 26 points. Barwa Addax Team leads the teams’ championship with 73 points from ART Grand Prix on 52. Fat Burner Racing Engineering is in third position with 24. The fifth round of the GP2 Series will be held at the Nurburgring on July 11-12, this time on Bridgestone’s soft compound GP2 racing slick. Quote from Hirohide Hamashima - Director of Bridgestone Motorsport Tyre Development “The GP2 teams have done a good job in studying last year’s data from Silverstone, and as a result we had a very entertaining feature race in GP2. They have been using the same compound as last year and the level of degradation has been reasonable, certainly less than 2008 and reducing over the weekend too. The lower degradation could be due to improved car set-up and the drivers recognising how to maintain their tyres and, of course, circuit improvement due to good weather conditions. Well done to Alberto Valerio on his first GP2 win and to Pastor Maldonado on his second victory this season. Overall we have seen an improvement in lap times this weekend compared to last year, and we are pleased with the performance of the medium compound at Silverstone.”

Mit Riesenschritten Richtung Titel
21.6.2009 von Wolfgang.
Start zum zweiten Rennen
Der Belgier Laurens Vanthoor (Dallara F307 Volkswagen) ist in Oschersleben klar der Mann des Wochenendes. Der Van-Amersfoort-Pilot gewann nach gestern auch den heutigen achten Lauf des ATS Formel-3-Cup und sicherte sich seinen ersten Doppelsieg der Saison. Insgesamt sammelte der 18-Jährige in den vergangenen zwei Tagen 23 Punkte - nur sein Teamkollege Stef Dusseldorp konnte ihm einen Zähler mit seiner Pole-Position im ersten Rennen abluchsen. Der Deutsche Nico Monien (Dallara F307 Mercedes) fuhr mit Platz zwei sein bestes Saisonergebnis ein. Hinter ihm überquerte der Brasilianer Rafael Suzuki (Dallara F307 Volkswagen) als Dritter die Ziellinie.
Besonders die Anfangsphase des Rennens gestaltete sich schwierig, da die Strecke noch teilweise feucht war. Nur die Ideallinie war durch die GT-Fahrzeuge trocken gefahren worden. Ein Vorteil für die linke Startreihe, die auf trockenem Asphalt stand. Die rechte Seite hatte mit noch feuchtem Belag zu kämpfen. Bei Überholmanövern wurden die Streckenbedingungen noch schwieriger: kamen die Piloten mit den Yokohama-Slicks nur ein wenig von der Ideallinie ab, bestand sofort die Gefahr abzufliegen. Das passierte unter anderem dem Schweden Max Nilsson (Dallara F307 OPC-Challenge), der auf einem aussichtsreichen sechsten Platz lag und der Schweizerin Rahel Frey (Dallara F307 Mercedes).
Kein gutes Rennen erlebte Stef Dusseldorp (Dallara F307 Volkswagen). Zwar konnte er am Start seinen vierten Rang halten, doch in der 19. Runde unterlief ihm ein Fahrfehler. Der Niederländer drehte sich und reihte sich auf dem neunten Rang außerhalb der Punkte wieder ein. Damit konnte Vanthoor den Vorsprung auf seinen Teamkollegen Dusseldorp in der Tabelle auf 26 Punkte ausbauen.
In der ATS Formel-3-Trophy sicherte sich der Finne Jesse Krohn seinen ersten Sieg. ″Es war ein schwieriges Wochenende″, so der 18-Jährige. ″Ich kannte das Auto und die Strecke nicht. Aber heute lief es perfekt.″ Sein Teamkollege Sergey Chukanov (beide Arttech F24 OPC-Challenge) verpasste erneut den Sprung auf Podest. Da sein Motor nicht angesprungen war, musste er aus der Boxengasse starten und dem Feld hinterherfahren.
Laurens Vanthoor: Die ersten Runden habe ich voll gepusht, um den Abstand auf Nico so schnell wie möglich zu vergrößern. Das ist mir auch gelungen und ab dann konnte ich das Rennen ruhig angehen und sicher gewinnen. Es tut mir leid, dass es für Stef nicht so gut gelaufen ist. Aber für mich in der Meisterschaft ist es gut, da ich meinen Vorsprung ausbauen konnte.
Nico Monien: Am Start hatte ich durchdrehende Räder und bis deswegen nicht so gut weggekommen. Aber immerhin konnte ich meinen zweiten Rang halten. Kurz vor Schluss habe ich mich verbremst und dadurch beinahe meinen Platz verloren, aber es war zum Glück alles gut. Auf dem Lausitzring will ich weiter punkten und meine Position in der Meisterschaft verbessern.
Rafael Suzuki: Eigentlich war es für mich ein langweiliges Rennen. Der Start war schwierig, da ich mit der rechten Seite auf dem feuchten Streckenteil lag. Auch überholen war so gut wie unmöglich, da nur die Ideallinie trocken war. Gegen Ende habe ich nochmals voll gepusht, um Nico einzuholen, aber da sind mir leider ein paar Fehler unterlaufen. Jetzt müssen wir daran arbeiten, den Abstand auf Rang zwei zu verkürzen.

Joe Schmitz confirme sa troisième place au championnat
21.6.2009 von Wolfgang.
Avant son premier essai du samedi Joe Schmitz (Mygale-BMW K1) avait perdu de l’huile, mais il a pu réparer sur place (anneau). Ensuite le champion néophyte a constaté que dans la première
épingle le rayon de braquage de sa monoplace a été trop grand et il a dû faire marche arrière. Dans la soirée Schmitz avait revu les éléments de sa direction, or le dimanche matin il a encore une fois échoué. Ensuite dans les deux montées le jeunot a connu un passage fluide dans ce virage, lui permettant de réaliser deux chronos le propulsant sur la place 36 (sur 82 participants) et quatre dans le classement luxembourgeois.
Guy Demuth (Lola B02/50-Zytek) et Léon Linden (Dallara F304-Opel) se sont classés sixième respectivement 18e au général à Trêves Le podium de la 38e course de côte de Trêves a été composé du Hongrois Laszlo Szasz (Reynard-Zytek) devant l’Italien Renzo Napione (Reynard K2) et le Suisse Marcel Steiner (Martini MK 77-01)
Les 27 et 28 juin prochains, Joe Schmitz – la voiture reste encore à définir – sera au départ de l’ouverture du championnat des circuits à Colmar-Berg.

MEEKE WINS AGAIN IN BELGIUM!
21.6.2009 von Wolfgang.
Peugeot UK driver Kris Meeke has won his third consecutive IRC event by claiming victory on his first participation in the Belgium Ypres Rally, round five of the IRC series. The momentous win has promoted Meeke to a six-point lead in the standings over Peugeot Belgium driver Freddy Loix: the winner of the Belgium Ypres Rally last year.
Meeke and Loix were involved in a battle for the lead from the very beginning of the rally, trading fastest stage times. Over the course of the 16-stage event, Meeke won eight stages while Loix won seven. Meeke edged ahead after SS12, but Loix - a five-time winner of the Belgium Ypres Rally - claimed to have more speed in reserve. His challenge evaporated on the following stage though, when the Belgian picked up a puncture that dropped him to fourth place. He refused to give up and eventually finished third, maintaining second place in the championship.
The only other person to challenge the two leaders was Skoda driver Jan Kopecky, who was in the top three from the very first day. The only problem that the Czech encountered was a motorcyclist who rode into him on a road section before SS10, but fortunately there were no serious consequences. Following Loix’s puncture Kopecky moved up into second place, where he remained to the finish in order to graduate to third place overall in the championship standings.
Kopecky’s team mate Juho Hanninen was third up until the final stage, where he too punctured a tyre and dropped down to fifth. Nonetheless, the popular Finn scores his first points of the year. Hanninen’s misfortune benefitted local driver Pieter Tsjoen, who claimed fourth at the finish in a privately-run Peugeot 207 S2000.
The battle for sixth resulted in one of the closest finishes in the history of the IRC. Luxembourg driver Gilles Schammel, driving a Peugeot 207 S2000, finished just 0.1 seconds ahead of Dutchman Jasper van den Heuvel, at the wheel of a Mitsubishi Lancer.
The final point was claimed by Abarth’s Giandomenico Basso, who lost fourth place on the very final stage after picking up a puncture on the same rock that caused a problem for Hanninen. Basso’s Abarth team mate Bernd Casier eventually finished 13th after being delayed by a gearbox problem and punctures: a constant risk on the challenging Belgian asphalt.
This notoriously tricky event, which is renowned in the world of international rallying, claimed some high-profile victims: most notably Francois Duval, making a guest appearance in a privateer Skoda Fabia S2000. The Belgian’s rally lasted just a few hundred metres before he skated off the road on SS1. Nicolas Vouilloz, the reigning IRC champion, also endured a difficult opening stage on Thursday: he went wide on a corner and heavily damaged the front of his Peugeot 207 S2000. The Frenchman was attempting to make his way back up the leaderboard on the second day when he got stuck behind the similar car of Michal Solowow, which had been slowed by a puncture, and went off whilst trying to get past it.
The IRC 2WD Cup was won by Dutchman Marcel Piepers, driving a Honda Civic Type R. Piepers stamped his authority over the event, but second place for Frenchman Denis Millet was enough to give the Frenchman the joint lead of the IRC 2WD Cup standings. Another Honda, driven by Martijn Braat, was third – usefully boosting the Japanese manufacturer’s haul in the IRC 2WD Cup constructors’ standings.

QUOTES
"I never thought for a minute that I could be in a position to win here, so to be on the top step of the podium on such a prestigious event is a dream come true for me. I think this is certainly the biggest moment of my career to date. Everyone knows the reputation of this rally: victory here feels very special. But it takes more than one person to make a race, and it’s been fantastic to have such a fight, with just tenths of a second separating us all. I think this weekend is the most fun I’ve ever had behind the wheel."
-Kris Meeke, Peugeot UK, Winner
"Second place is a very good result for us, particularly as we had the accident with the motorcyclist today, which was not a nice feeling as it distracted us. Luckily everyone is OK, but it is not a nice thing to happen on a rally. I tried as best as I could, but I think this result is a real testimony to just how good our car is. I’d like to thank our entire team: we have had two second places now and we are third in the championship, which is a good sign that we are making progress."
- Jan Kopecky, Skoda Motorsport, Second
"Of course it’s a shame for everyone that we had the puncture, as before it was a really great fight with Kris. I tried not to push my hardest all the time, because this is not the sort of rally where you can take big risks, but in the end it was a really close battle between the two of us. The most important thing in any sport is to have good competition, and we certainly had that all weekend."
-Freddy Loix, Peugeot Belgium, Third
THE NEXT EVENT
By contrast to the flat-out asphalt roads of Belgium, the IRC moves next to the gravel stages of Rally Russia. The Russian event, now in its third year of participation in the IRC, is based as always in the city of Vyborg, not far from the Finnish border.
Unsurprisingly, the roads have quite a lot in common with those that feature on the legendary Rally Finland, rewarding bravery and commitment above all else. The Rally Russia takes place from July 9-11, with a ceremonial start in the beautiful city of St Petersburg.
