THE FIA AMENDS IMOLA WEIGHT LIST

Veröffentlicht am von

Following a request from the SEAT Sport team, the FIA Stewards have published a decision that states: "Considering the particular weather conditions in which the qualifying took part (at Oschersleben) and the impossibility of calculating a realistic time, the Stewards decide to allocate the time set during Q1 as the notional time in application of Art. 79 A)1) of the 2009 FIA WTCC Sporting Regulations."
As a consequence of this decision, the BMW 320si car is promoted to the fastest car of the German weekend, 0.1 seconds faster than the SEAT León TDI.
However, the only effect on the weight list for the Imola event is that the Chevrolet Cruze cars are allocated 30 kilos of compensation weight instead of 20.

Compensation weights Imola (amended)
+ 40 kg BMW 320si, SEAT León TDI
+ 30 kg Chevrolet Cruze LT
– 20 kg BMW 320si Zanardi, LADA Priora, SEAT León TFSI

CORONEL TO TAKE PART IN ASIAN ROUNDS
Tom Coronel has secured his participation in the two final events of the 2009 FIA World Touring Car Championship, at Okayama in Japan and Macau.
Despite SEAT Holland’s decision to stop supporting him after Imola, the Dutchman and the SUNRED Engineering team will be able to compete in the Asian rounds thanks to the support of clothing company McGregor and SEAT Sport.
Coronel is still in contention for the Independents‘ Trophy title and after his two recent victories at Oschersleben he is leading the standings.
"It was quite hard for me when I was told that we wouldn’t be racing in Japan and Macau. However, Dutch SEAT importer Pon Car gave me all the possibilities to go and look for a solution to make the participation in Asia happen after all. From that moment on, I have tried every possible option and thanks to many people who have provided ideas and support, we have succeeded. Of course, that makes me very happy," said Coronel.
For the final three events of the season – Italy, Japan and Macau – Coronel’s SEAT León will sport a new blue livery.

ZANARDI 14th IN HANDBIKE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
Alessandro Zanardi claimed an outstanding 14th place in the Handbike World Championship last Sunday at Borgogno, Italy. On his maiden appearance as a member of the Italian handbike national team, the BMW Team Italy-Spain driver put in a strong performance, finishing the in-line race only 11.29 seconds behind the winner.
"It has been a great experience although my expectations were for better results. In both, the chrono and in the in-line races I left behind the same number of opponents that finished in front of me but I did not have in my arms strength and resistance to fight with the best ones. I could have obtained better results by managing my resources in a different way, if I only had more experience…," said Zanardi.

ENGSTLER MEETS MUNICH FOOTBALLERS
After his home event at Oschersleben and before heading to Imola, Independent front runner Franz Engstler took some time to visit football club 1860 Munich.
He took his BMW 320si race car to the grounds and met the Bavaria-based team who compete in the Second Bundesliga.
Both are supported by Liqui Moly and are fighting to be winners in their respective championships. While Engstler sits third in the WTCC Independents‘ Trophy, 1860 Munich are currently placed seventh.

INDIES‘ PRIZE MONEY WILL RISE TO 500,000 EUROS
Next year the prize money for the FIA World Touring Car Championship’s Independents‘ Trophy will be raised from the current 384,000 euros to 500,000.
"We are very grateful to Yokohama for continuing to support the privateer drivers‘ efforts to stay in the championship. And thanks to Yokohama we are now able to offer an impressive half-million prize money," WTCC promoter Marcello Lotti declared.
The way this prize money is going to be awarded will be unveiled in the next weeks.
"We are currently in negotiations with other partners to increase the prize money by another 250,00 euros. We hope to confirm this new deal soon," concluded Lotti.

La presentación del Puigmajor por todo lo alto

Sóller, (Illes Balears) miércoles 02 de septiembre de 2009.

En el marco incomparable del Gran Hotel de Sòller, ha tenido lugar esta noche la presentación de la XXX Pujada al Puigmajor. Al acto han asistido las primeras autoridades de nuestra comunidad que han querido de este modo respaldar la mítica prueba mallorquina.

Encabezaba el acto protocolario el Delegado del Gobierno en les Illes Balears, Excmo. Sr. Ramón Socias, por parte de la Consellería de Turismo ha asistido la directora de Inestur, Doña Lourdes Garau, representando al Consell Insular de Mallorca, la secretaría técnica de Esports, Dña. Carmen Gallego, y en representación del Ayuntamiento de Sòller, su Alcalde Sr. Josep Lluís Colom y el regidor de Turismo Sr. Tomás Plomer Amengual.

Albert Frau, presidente de la Escudería Serra de Tramuntana ha presentado la lista oficial de inscritos, que está formada por un total de cincuenta vehículos destacando la presencia de dos equipos que se desplazarán desde la península y que no han querido perderse el homenaje que se hará el sábado por la tarde, tras la sesión de entrenamientos, al mítico piloto Joan Fernández, muy querido por los sollerics y el automovilismo balear. Andrés Vilariño finalmente no podrá competir este fin de semana al averiarse su barqueta la semana pasada cuando participaba en una prueba de Bélgica.

El Delegado del Gobierno, el Sr. Ramón Socías ha tenido gratas palabras de apoyo para la Escudería Serra de Tramuntana y para el Puigmajor. "He de reconocer el esfuerzo que habéis hecho en estos tiempos que corren, pero se que todos vosotros lleváis esta subida dentro al igual que yo, desde pequeños recordamos esta carrera y tenemos asociado el nombre de Juan Fernández a ella, al igual que la imagen de su barqueta, con los colores de Danone, él era y es el rey del Puigmajor, admirado y reconocido por todos los aficionados mallorquines y al que este fin de semana le ofrecerán un merecido homenaje. Pero también quiero recordar a Fermín Velez que fue como un príncipe para esta subida, lamentablemente ya ha fallecido y no podremos homenajearle."

Kazim blazes to maiden F2 pole

Kazim celebrates
Lithuanian sets blistering pace in first qualifying

Kazim Vasiliauskas stormed to his maiden F2 pole in the first qualifying session at Imola today (Friday), eclipsing his rivals by more than three tenths of a second.

The Lithuanian backed up his earlier claim of wanting to fight for victories, as he set the fastest lap of the weekend with a 1:38.468s: "I’m really happy," said Kazim. "I see that every time I am improving, and now this is my first pole, I am just so happy. At the first race in Valencia my father told me if you are in the top ten I will be very happy. Now, at the end of the season, I have a pole! Tomorrow I will try to make progress and take my first win of the year."

Mirko Bortolotti pipped Mikhail Aleshin to second place, but the Italian was upset with his colleague after Aleshin allegedly blocked him on his final run. It is the second time in as many meetings that the Red Bull duo have had a difference of opinion.

"It was a bit frustrating because the pace was there to get pole," commented Bortolotti, "but on my fastest lap Aleshin stopped me, so I don’t know what to say. In the end I am happy because I got second position, but it could have been better for sure. Still, first row is a good result and it gives me confidence for the race."

During the post-qualifying press conference Aleshin simply said he hadn’t seen Bortolotti in his mirrors, but the Russian had a complaint of his own: "I think that many people were pushing under the yellows, and I think it will be a good decision if the FIA investigate this a little," he commented. "In my opinion I was the only one slowing down."

Robert Wickens completed a Red Bull 2-3-4 as the Canadian left it late to see off Philipp Eng. The Austrian was second behind Vasiliauskas with only five minutes to go, but he may have paid the price for aborting his final run. Championship leader Andy Soucek may be content with sixth on the grid as he looks to wrap up the title this weekend, but the Spaniard earlier admitted he did not have the pace to challenge for pole.
Sebastian Hohenthal ended up seventh ahead of a mighty impressive run from Germán Sánchez. The reigning Spanish F3 champion recovered from an early spin to score his best qualifying position of the season.

After setting the pace during the opening practice session, Julien Jousse will be disappointed with ninth, whilst Edoardo Piscopo will have to fight for his first F2 podium from tenth on the grid.

Armaan Ebrahim spun out of the session at Rivazza on his first flying lap – the Indian pilot will start tomorrow’s race from the back of the grid. Jens Höing also crashed out late on, whilst Jolyon Palmer and Jack Clarke recovered from separate off-track excursions. Wickens endured a mixed session after bouncing back from a double-off on the same lap, but Tom Gladdis wasn’t so lucky – the Englishman was left stranded in the middle of the circuit on the exit of Tamburello as the chequered flag waved.

Imola – Qualifying 1 – Provisional Classification:

1. Kazim Vasiliauskas, 1:38.468
2. Mirko Bortolotti, +0.313s
3. Mikhail Aleshin, +0.401s
4. Robert Wickens, +0.433s
5. Philipp Eng, +0.538s
6. Andy Soucek, +0.860s
7. Sebastian Hohenthal, +0.982s
8. Germán Sánchez, +1.200s

Joe Schmitz Platz drei in der Tabelle verteidigt

Antworten

Bei unwidrigen Wetterbedingungen steuerte Joe Schmitz Turckheim im Elsass zum vorletzten Lauf der Luxemburger Bergmeisterschaft an, und das Einrichten im Fahrerlager unter strömendem Regen verhiess nichts Gutes für das Rennwochenende. Doch am Samstagmorgen schien die Sonne über die Weinberge und ein warmer Renntag kündigte sich an.

Die Trainingsläufe wurden genutzt um verschiedene Feinregulierungen am Mygale-BMW K1 vorzunehmen und um sich die Spitzfindigkeiten der Siebenkilometer langen Strecke wieder in Erinnerung zu bringen. Der Renntag begann schon um 7.30 Uhr, doch die Monoposti starteten erst kurz vor Mittag zu ihrem ersten Aufstieg. Joe Schmitz legte 3’16‘‘886 hin, diese Zeit stimmte ihn denn auch zufrieden.

Beim zweiten Versuch hatte er dann sein Aha-Erlebnis „Ich war recht gut unterwegs, als ich im letzten Drittel des Bergs einen anderen Monoposto vor mir sah. Zuerst zögerte ich etwas, dann entschied ich mich doch fürs Überholen. Trotz dieses Überholvorgangs blieb die Uhr noch bei 3’15‘‘350 stehen“ gab der amtierende Nachwuchsmeister im Ziel zu Protokoll.

Beim dritten Einsatz am Berg konnte Schmitz seine Zeit auf 3’13‘‘350 drücken und wurde so Dritter in der Luxemburger Wertung. Diesen Platz konnte er in der Meisterschaftstabelle halten, ebenso den zweiten Rang im „Volant sportif“. Das Finale in der Luxemburger Bergmeisterschaft findet am kommenden Wochenende in Trôs Marets in der Gegend von Malmedy, Belgien, statt.

El piloto de Porto Cristo preparado para afrontar la tercera cita del campeonato de montaña
EL PUIGMAJOR, LA CITA MÁS ESPERADA DE MARIO HEKKE
Porto Cristo (Manacor, Illes Balears) jueves 17 de septiembre de 2009
Como de costumbre la Subida al Puigmajor es la carrera de montaña por excelencia de nuestra
comunidad, según los organizadores es la prueba reina. De ahí que cualquier piloto que se precie
quiera competir, al menos una vez en su vida deportiva, en esta mítica prueba. Mario Hekke al
igual que otros muchos ha estado preparando esta carrera con mucha ilusión y a pesar que el
Puigmajor queda algo lejos de su casa y casi no ha podido entrenar, el piloto de la Escudería
Mallorca Competició espera darlo todo este fin de semana por estar lo más arriba en la clasificación
general.
La XXX Pujada al Puigmajor se disputará en la carretera que enlaza las localidades de Andratx
y Pollença (MA-10) desde el hito 50.750 hasta el hito 46.350, de esta manera el formato elegido
será el corto con un recorrido de 4.400 metros y una pendiente media de 5,35%. El sábado se
realizarán dos subidas de entrenamientos que se iniciarán a las 15:00 horas y están previstos que
finalicen sobre las 18:00 horas. Por su parte el domingo se a las 9:15 se realizará la última
ascensión de entrenos que dará paso a las dos subidas de carrera. Alas 15:00 se publicarán los
resultados y seguidamente se entregarán los trofeos. Por último hay que recordar que hoy se
presenta a los medios de comunicación la carrera y mañana por la tarde se realizarán las
verificaciones técnicas y administrativas.
Mario Hekke junto con sus asistencias han estado preparando el Bango BRC 05 para esta especial
subida, muy rápida y técnica a la vez, donde el piloto de Porto Cristo espera encontrarse bien
desde la primera subida. El monoplaza lucirá en sus puertas el dorsal número tres y aunque
Mario todavía se está adaptando a la particular forma de pilotar una CM, espera conseguir pisar
el podio por tercera vez consecutiva en lo que llevamos de año.
Tras escribir estas líneas el piloto de Náutica Jaume Vermell nos comentaba:
"Esta subida es especial, no solo para mí, creo que lo es para todos los pilotos de Baleares, ésta
será la primera vez que compito en el Puigmajor con el Bango BRC 05, pienso que puedo lograr
un buen resultado, la presencia de el subcampeón de España de Montaña de este año, Iñigo
Martínez, y la del Campeón de Baleares de Montaña, Gabriel Arrabal, me han motivado mucho
y mi intención es estar lo más arriba posible. Espero que la lluvia nos respete y podamos correr
ante un numeroso público."FERBISPRESS

Christian Vietoris will in Barcelona weiter Boden gutmachen

Streckenlänge: 2,977 Kilometer
Rundenrekord F3ES: 1:07,243 Minuten / Franck Mailleux 2007
Distanz: Sa: 27 Runden / So: 36 Runden
Sieger 2008: Nico Hülkenberg / Kazuya Oshima
Der 2,977 Kilometer lange Circuit de Catalunya vor den Toren der spanischen Metropole Barcelona ist Schauplatz für die Saisonrennen 15 und 16 der Formel 3 Euro Serie 2009. Als Tabellenführer reist Jules Bianchi (ART Grand Prix) an, doch sein Vorsprung ist nach einem punktelosen Wochenende in Brands Hatch auf nur noch 16 Zähler geschmolzen. Sein stärkster Verfolger Christian Vietoris (Mücke Motorsport) wird auch in Spanien versuchen, den Rückstand auf den Franzosen weiter zu verringern.
Beide Nachwuchspiloten haben gute Erinnerungen an die spanische Strecke. Vietoris stand im vergangenen Jahr nach beiden Rennen auf dem Podium, er belegte Rang zwei und drei. Bianchi schied im ersten Lauf nach einem Startunfall mit Richard Philippe zwar aus, arbeitete sich aber im zweiten Durchgang von Startplatz 27 bis auf Position drei nach vorne. Nach seinem Unfall beim GP2-Rennen in Spa-Francorchamps und der folgenden Zwangspause in Brands Hatch wird Stefano Coletti (Prema Powerteam) in Barcelona wieder ins Feld der Formel 3 Euro Serie zurückkehren. Beim Team Motopark Academy wird Atte Mustonen durch Renger van der Zande ersetzt.
Roberto Merhi (Manor Motorsport): „Ich bin zwar Spanier, aber mein Heimrennen ist Valencia, denn es liegt näher an meinem Wohnort als Barcelona. Dennoch möchte ich in meinem Heimatland natürlich am liebsten gewinnen oder zumindest auf dem Podium stehen. Die vergangenen Rennen waren nicht sehr positiv und ich bin in der Gesamtwertung bis auf den achten Rang zurückgefallen. Hier hoffe ich, den Abwärtstrend zu beenden. Mein Ziel ist, in der Gesamtwertung wieder in die Top 4 oder Top 5 vorzustoßen, denn der Abstand zu Jean Karl Vernay und Sam Bird auf den Plätzen vier und fünf ist nicht groß.“

Andy Soucek targets F2 title at Imola

Andy Soucek celebrates in Germany

Spaniard determined to make history at Italian round this weekend

Andy Soucek is just one race victory away from taking the inaugural FIA Formula Two Championship and the Spaniard is hoping to wrap things up in Imola this weekend (18/19/20 September).

As F2 arrives in Italy, Soucek holds a commanding 32 point advantage with just four races and 40 available points remaining in the 2009 season. The four-time race winner may not even need to stand on the top step of the rostrum to take the crown, but Soucek is determined to win the championship in style.

Mikhail Aleshin took his maiden victory last time out in Oschersleben and the Russian racer is now Soucek’s main championship challenger. Aleshin is two points ahead of his Red Bull Junior Team colleague Robert Wickens, who in turn is two points in front of Julien Jousse in fourth place. Mirko Bortolotti and Tobias Hegewald are fifth and sixth respectively as just ten points separate the five drivers battling for second in the standings.

The top seven contenders in the championship have all tasted victory in F2 this season, and Philipp Eng in seventh will be looking to bounce back from a fruitless weekend in Germany.

It will be an emotional round for several Italian Formula Two drivers this weekend, with Bortolotti arguably the most likely to take a victory on home soil. Nicola De Marco will be looking for a good result after returning to points scoring form at Oschersleben, whilst Edoardo Piscopo will be chasing a maiden F2 podium. Pietro Gandolfi is another who is looking forward to racing in his homeland for the first time in 2009.

The Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari circuit is steeped in history. Based near the Italian town of Imola, a picturesque little town in the province of Bologna, the track is one of the few major international circuits to run in an anti-clockwise direction.

The Imola circuit was home to the San Marino Formula One Grand Prix until 2006, and has recently undergone a series of revisions under the direction of Hermann Tilke. F2 will partner the WTCC this weekend and both races will be screened live on Eurosport.

Andy Soucek said: "I would love to win the championship in Imola and I would like to do it with a victory. Of course, I have to finish in front of my rivals here to take the title, but it will not feel as good if I am not at least on the podium. I will push as hard as always to try and score more wins in F2. Imola has a lot of history and although I have never raced at this circuit, I am sure it is going to be an incredible experience. My Dad competed there in the past and he has told me a lot about the place. If I can do it this weekend then I can really enjoy the final round in my home country when we race in Barcelona."

To the very end, predictions were made on the teams who would win the season. In LMP1, before a mechanical failure, Henri Pescarolo’s team believed they would make it and Jean-Christophe Boullion’s driving talent nearly brought the team the same remarkable achievement as in 2006. They finish second in the classification, an impressive feat of David against Goliath.

Finally the British Aston Martin Team wins the 2009 title, exactly 50 years after the victory of the manufacturer in the Sports Car World Championship! A well deserved tribute to the history of the British brand.

In LMP2, the Portuguese team Quifel ASM, in spite of a shortened race, wins the title in its category concluding a very successful season for Olivier Pla and Miguel Amaral.

In LMGT1, the Luc Alphand Team, after a difficult season, had two happy experiences during the weekend: the return of their leader Luc Alphand in grand shape and winning the season with their Corvette C6.R n°72.

In LMP2, just the once won’t hurt: the battle raged until the last minute! The Felbermayr Proton Germans win this season by one small point in front of their opponents JMW Motorsport! In other words it was shoulder to shoulder and the smallest point had its importance including the one given during the qualifications to the team in pole position!

Last but not least we congratulate the team combining performance and energy saving: the Speedy Racing team Sebbah was awarded the Michelin Green X Challenge trophy.

If we are already looking towards the next season, we would like to take the time to thank all the teams who have fought for their colours during the season and at the same time for those of Endurance racing.

WTCC SET FOR NEW AUDIENCE RECORD
313 million viewers followed the first seven events

The 2009 FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) is set to establish a new record in TV ratings, according to the recent intermediary study released by the German Independent Institute IFM *.
The study showed that after 7 out of the 12 race meetings, a global audience of 313 million viewers watched the races of the series‘ fifth season.

These figures, compared to the total audience of 350 millions for the entire 2008 season, are testament to the growing worldwide popularity of the championship, which also resulted in an increase in worldwide press, web and TV coverage and event attendance.
The WTCC is now covered by 75 TV networks over more than 160 countries and the contribution of Eurosport, the n°1 pan-European TV channel & official media partner of the series, represents 10% of this intermediary cumulative audience, showing that the TV coverage of WTCC is growing all over the world.

The high-quality and innovative Live TV production has been further enhanced this year, as the WTCC has become the first FIA World Championship produced in native High Definition.

These mid-season figures also show that the WTCC has delivered so far great visibility to the car manufacturers, with an advertising equivalent value already higher than for the full 2008 season.
All WTCC Series Partners also benefit from the outstanding audience growth with as much media value as over last year’s 12 events.
* IFM is an independent German company, appointed by Eurosport Events to track WTCC international feed on a global basis and deliver media ROI studies to WTCC stakeholders.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Circuito Renn Arena de Llucmajor, "Trofeo Motorrad", penúltima prueba de la temporada de velocidad del Campeonato de Baleares organizada por el Motoclub Muro, con la participación de 26 pilotos repartidos en las cinco categorías convocadas.

Open Élite

En esta ocasión tuvimos la partícipación de Enric Ferrer, que actualmente está participando en el CEV con el equipo New Grip. Como era de esperar después de ver los tiempos en los entrenos, tuvo muy poca oposición en la carrera, sobre todo después que Alfonso Ho tuviera que abandonar la carrera el romper el motor de su Suzuki. La victoria de Enric fue incontestable, dejando al segundo clasificado a más de un minuto y veinte segundo, y eso después de aflojar el ritmo en las últimas vueltas. Jaime Bestard, actual líder de la clasificación provisional dejó prácticamente sentenciado el campeonato, ya que el único piloto que aún tenía opciones, Alfonso Ho, no sacó ni un sólo punto del Renn Arena. Sebastián Pérez se subió al podio, precediendo al resto de los pilotos, Carlos San Juan, Matías de la Morena, Javier Agredano y Bernat Adrover.

Open 125 GP

La participación de Juan Perelló volvió a dar emoción al campeonato de Baleares, ya que después de su trabajada victoria se coloca a un punto de Óscar Calvo, que en esta ocasión, con evidente problemas de motor, fue tercero. La carrera del próximo octubre dictará sentencia sobre quien se llevará el título. Angel Poyatos obtuvo una merecida segunda plaza, y aunque no le permite luchar por el campeonato puede ser el juez que incline la balanza hacia uno o hacia el otro.

Open Master

Sigue el dominio de Javier Orellana en esta categoría, en la que suma sus participaciones con victorias. Bernat Crespí obtuvo la segunda plaza, aunque como no ha participado en las primeras pruebas de la temporada no le podrá quitar el su-campeonato de Paquita Ruiz, que se mantiene tremendamente regular y que, en esta ocasión, fue tercera.

80 Expert

Tampoco ha tenido ningún problema en conseguir una nueva victoria Carlos Javier Serrano, que ya atesora cuatro y que le permitirá, si no sufre un descalabro en la última prueba, alzarse con el título al final de la temporada. Juan Manuel Muntaner fue segundo, seguido por Juan Miguel Guerrero, que se coloca a 24 puntos de Serrano.

Promo Base

Otra nueva victoria de Javier Orellana, que está arrasando, por partida doble (en Open Master y en Promo Base), en esta temporada 2009. Diego Pérez le sigue de cerca, pero ya a 20 puntos de Javier. La emoción en esta carrera la pusieron Onofre Quijada y Miquel Pons, que mantuvieron una magnífica lucha por la tercera posición del podio, resuelta a favor del jovencísimo Miquel en la misma recta de meta por 21 milésimas de segundo. Onofre fue cuarto, seguido de Bernat Crespí, Paquita Ruiz, Adam León, Adrián Alcaraz y Augusto Fernández.

Resaltar que las clasificaciones que hemos mencionado son oficiosas, y que sólo tienen un carácter informativo.

La próxima carrera se celebrará el 4 de octubre, organizada también por el Motoclub Muro, y denominada "Trofeo Balaustradas Palma"
