Imperious Bortolotti takes F2 win record

Italian’s victory halts Pineiro’s charge for second in championship

1. Mirko Bortolotti wins the final round of the season to become the most successful FIA Formula Two driver

2. Mirko Bortolotti on his way to his seventh win of the year

Mirko Bortolotti has taken the FIA Formula Two Championship win record with victory in the final race of the season at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona today (Sunday). His seventh victory in 2011 matches Andy Soucek’s record from 2009, the year Bortolotti took his first of what has now become eight wins.

Spaniard Ramon Pinero finished just behind the Italian during the final race of the season but narrowly missed out on second place in the championship by just four points to Swiss driver Christopher Zanella who finished seventh.

Romanian Mihai Marinescu secured his fourth podium from the last six races with third spot, just ahead of local driver Miki Monras who ended his debut F2 season fourth overall.

As the 22-lap race got underway, Pineiro made a superb start from second on the grid and looked to take the lead of the race as he held the inside line into Turn 1. However, 21-year-old Bortolotti drove around the outside of the 20-year-old to take the lead into the left-hander at Turn 2. The move was decisive to Bortolotti’s race and he set about breaking his opponent’s resolve in a similar manner to yesterday’s race.

Meanwhile Pineiro was aware of an early challenge from Marinescu, who had stolen third place from Monras, but the Romanian was to progress no further up the field as the race settled down after a frantic first lap that saw Tobias Hegewald spin down the order.

As Bortolotti pulled out several tenths on each lap, Pineiro kept up the pace to secure his second place. Behind Marinescu and Monras, Alex Brundle, Kelvin Snoeks and Christopher Zanella enjoyed a race-long tussle for fifth place.

Danish driver Mikkel Mac impressed once again by working his way past Jack Clarke for eighth place, before Benjamin Lariche put the Englishman under intense pressure for the remainder of the race. However, he was also aware of a charging Hegewald, who had worked his way up the order and nearly challenged for the final points position as the race drew to a conclusion.

On taking his seventh win of the season, Bortolotti slowed as he crossed the finish line to show his appreciation to his F2 engineers and rounding off his dominant season in fine style.

Speaking afterwards Bortolotti said: "I knew it [the race] was going to be decided on the start but my start was very bad. I’m disappointed about that, but I managed to brake really late into Turn 1 and pass Ramon on the outside, which is not easy. That was the key for this win as once you get your position, it’s difficult for the guy behind to get a run to overtake you, so I knew it was going to be very important to be first at the end of the first lap. I wanted to win this race because I wanted to make it eight Formula Two wins. I’m very proud about this and winning the last two races in Formula Two is fantastic and that’s my way to say goodbye to all these people I had the pleasure to work with these two seasons, so I’m delighted and I’m very happy."

Mirko Bortolotti will now prepare for his Williams F1 test in Abu Dhabi in just over two weeks time while Christopher Zanella and Ramon Pineiro will each enjoy a GP2 test. All three drivers will also receive an FIA Superlicence needed to compete in Formula One.

Bortolotti scores commanding Barcelona race one win

Pineiro’s third place denies Monras third place in the championship

2. Mirko Bortolotti in the lead in Barcelona

Mirko Bortolotti has won the first race at Barcelona with a strong performance, breaking the early challenge of Miki Monras with a succession of fast laps. Ramon Pineiro completed the podium with third place, guaranteeing him at least third place in the championship.

Bortolotti made a fine start from the grid and whilst Monras was safely installed in third place, Pinero endured a tough start fending off Tobias Hegewald. However as he had predicted after qualifying, Pinero began to pick up his pace as he familiarised himself with the circuit.

At the front, Monras began to catch Bortolotti after a few laps but the 2011 Champion sped up as the race headed towards the halfway point. A succession of fast laps began, and the Austro-Italian started gaining half a second every lap, eventually beating his opponent by 8.771 seconds by the chequered flag.

Meanwhile once Pinerio had cleared Hegewald, the German came under attack from Mihai Marinescu. The Romanian attempted a few moves but was unable to wrest fourth place.

Jack Clarke had an untroubled run to sixth after an early challenge from Christopher Zanella came to nought after the Swiss ran wide. Alex Brundle looked as though he might come into play at one point as Kelvin Snoeks and Mikkel Mac battled behind, but the latter pair started to reel the Briton in late on.

Further back Benjamin Lariche tried to make up for a spin on the first lap by fighting his way back. An incident with Kralev was declared a racing incident by the stewards when the Bulgarian spun. Another entertaining tussle with Jose Luis Abadin helped his cause, and he also passed James Cole by the end of the race.

There was no champagne celebration on the podium and after the race Bortolotti paid tribute to fellow Italian Marco Simoncelli as well as Dan Wheldon, who both passed away recently.
Speaking afterwards Bortolotti said: "I’m very happy with that performance. The start was good and I just tried to get into my rhythm. It’s very difficult to overtake here, so I knew that as long as I didn’t make a mistake I should be able to take the win. I’m happy with that and I think we had good pace throughout the weekend and obviously the new tyres helped me a lot this race, so I’m looking forward to tomorrow now."

Adding: "I’m sorry for not spraying champagne on the podium but I lost a racing idol last week and two weeks ago there was a massive accident as well so I didn’t feel like spraying champagne."
The final round of the 2011 F2 series gets underway tomorrow (Sunday) beginning with qualifying at 08:45 (local time).

Barcelona, race one results:
1. Mirko Bortolotti, 22 Laps
2. Miki Monras, +8.771s
3. Ramon Pineiro, +19.846s
4. Tobias Hegewald, +26.201s
5. Mihai Marinescu, 26.933s
6. Jack Clarke, +39.492s
7. Christopher Zanella, +41.852s
8. Alex Brundle, +43.033s
9. Kelvin Snoeks, +43.588s
10. Mikkel Mac, +44.458s

A fantastic Bernardo Sousa only surrenders to bad luck

Peugeot_S2000

At his first ever race with the Peugeot, in a rally that he did not know, the young Portuguese driver had managed to reach the top of the overall standings, after a cautious start to the race aiming to become familiar with the car, the roads and the team, three elements which he met for the first time. Unfortunately bad luck, in the form of a mechanical failure, caused his withdrawal after 6 of the 17 special stages, while he was leading the race by over a minute.

Pier Liberali (CEO of United Business, the company that takes care of Sousa’s sports management) said: "It was the first race we did together, I was well impressed. Bernardo is a true and fast driver, and although he is young he has been driving a very intelligent race. He started off slowly to find the right feeling with the car and stage after stage he set increasingly better times, until he reached first place. Then, as it often happens in our sport, the beautiful fairy tales do not always have a happy ending, a mechanical problem stopped him. Frankly, it was incredible because the car was brand new. I do not dwell much on this race, the important thing for us was to see the potential of Bernardo, after these days we spent together, all my colleagues and I give only one answer: This guy is really strong".

Bernardo Sousa said: “We had a bit of bad luck. It was our first European Championship rally outside Portugal and we were leading. We have shown to have the pace to compete with the best drivers of the European series. Everything was new for me, car, team, Team Manager. I must thank PA Racing which provided a beautiful car, United Business and all the sponsors that made this event possible”.

Despite the unhappy conclusion of this first experience, Bernardo now has the possibility of programming the 2012 season with good choices. United Business has received three proposals to have Bernardo compete in an international championship. In the coming weeks, Bernardo and Pier Liberali will make their choices for 2012.

“Triplete”! – Luca Rossetti European Champion

Rossetti-European-Rally-Champion

Luca Rossetti and Matteo Chiarcossi, with their Abarth Grande Punto S2000, earn at the Rallye du Valais the mathematical certainty of being European champions for the third time, the first crew to do so in the history of the continental series. The European Championship is the international motorsport series with the longest tradition, the first edition dates back to 1953 while the World Championship is held since 1973.

Luca Rossetti said: "I dedicate the victory to Ing. Wester (CEO of Abarth n.d.r.) who has always believed in me, and to all the people at Abarth. I am proud to have won this title with an Italian car. For me it is an honour to race with them, I hope with this win to have repaid them for their trust. Our season has been troubled as we have sometimes had problems, but this only gives a better taste to the result we obtained. I thank all those who contributed to this success, and in particular Michelin and United Business, who has been taking care of my sports management for years".

At the Rallye du Valais, Luca Rossetti ended the first leg in second place overall, first among the drivers of the European Championship, however the end of the leg offered a small thrill as 2 kms from the end of the third special stage the gearbox broke, an issue that did not prevent the Abarth crew from ending the first day in the lead and gaining the points necessary to win the continental title. The second day he started very fast, jumping in the overall lead already after the first stage, before being forced to retire by another mechanical failure. Luca was therefore unable to finish the rally, and to try and repeat the victory of 2010, as he would have wished to celebrate at best. Luca and Matteo will now enjoy their well-deserved success in view of the 2012 season.

Mikkelsen281011

The Cyprus Golden Stage Rally will be shown live on television around
the world when it takes place for a second time on Sunday 6 November.
Rather than covering a multiple number of stages, the Golden Stage
Rally is unique in that it features one single stage, the Golden
Stage, covered twice on a mixed surface route of less than 40
kilometres in length.
With drivers battling against the clock for a share of the 150,000
Euros prize fund over a challenging undulating course, the action is
set to be spectacular with both runs shown live on Eurosport,
Eurosport Asia-Pacific, RTBF in Belgium and Cypriot host broadcaster
LTV.
The first run through will be shown from 11:00hrs-12:00hrs CET with
the second following from 14:00hrs-15:00hrs CET. Eurosport Events, the
organisation behind the thrilling live coverage of the
Intercontinental Rally Challenge, will manage the live production and
will be responsible for the worldwide distribution of media and
television rights.
“It’s going to be a very exciting event with thrilling
action as drivers go flat out to chase the prize and the accolade of
Cyprus Golden Stage Rally winner 2011,” said Jean-Pierre
Nicolas, the Motorsport Development Manager of the Intercontinental
Rally Challenge, who helped to design the layout of the course.
“The dramatic action will be further enhanced by the tremendous
live television coverage that will thrill fans around the
world.”
The live television coverage of the Golden Stage Rally will require
five fixed camera locations, 10 onboard cameras, a helicopter-mounted
camera, a plane for transmitting the onboard camera signals, plus a
team of expert personnel working on the ground in Cyprus and at
Eurosport’s headquarters in Paris.

CAMP ESPAÑA 2011 015

El piloto mallorquín Albert Coll, se desplazaba al Circuito Internacional de Motorland (Aragón), para disputar la última prueba puntuable para el Campeonato de España de karting 2011, prueba a la que acudian los mejores pilotos a nivel nacional.

El piloto mallorquín tres veces Campeón de Baleares de karting, que prepara ya la próxima temporada, acudia a esta prueba como entrenamiento de cara al próximo año 2012. El piloto de la Escuderia Mallorca Competició, no pudo demostrar su verdadera valia, al no contar con la preparación mecánica adecuada, de acuerdo a su calidad como piloto.

El piloto mallorquín rompió hasta tres motores, con una mecánica falta de preparación, pero demostró dónde está su nivel, remontando en tres vueltas desde la posición 25, colocandose en la posición 14, hasta que la mecánica volvía a desfallecer.

Albert, que ante las adversidades se crece, sabe de su resistencia en pista, y su preparación tanto física como mental, piensa ya en la próxima temporada, y agradeció el apoyo, a sus incondicionales patrocinadores, OXIDOC, Gruauto, y SUSHICLUB, que lo seguiran apoyando, el próximo año 2012.

Miclotte not giving up on IRC title dream

Veröffentlicht am von

Loix271011

Freddy Loix’s co-driver Frederic Miclotte says the BFO-SKODA
Rally Team pair won’t give up on their dream of winning the
Intercontinental Rally Challenge crown despite conceding they start
the title showdown in Cyprus next month with a disadvantage to their
rivals.
The Belgian aces did not contest the last round in Scotland earlier
this month and are sixth in the IRC title race, 28 points behind
leaders Jan Kopecky and Petr Stary.
“Of course it’s going to be difficult for us and we need
some of the other drivers not to finish but we have to believe
it’s still possible,” said Miclotte. “Missing
Scotland is a disadvantage but we knew that would be the case a the
start of the season. We will just do our best.”
Loix and Miclotte will undertake a one-day test in Cyprus on Sunday
(30 October).
Al-Attiyah targets Golden Stage Rally revenge
Nasser Al-Attiyah will start the Cyprus Golden Stage Rally on 6
November determined to claim the victory that eluded him when the
event took place for the first time last season.
Al-Attiyah finished second to Andreas Mikkelsen on the
live-for-television spectacular but wants to go one better when he
tackles the mixed-surface event in his M-Sport Ford Fiesta S2000.
“Last year we just lose the first position and finish
second,” said Al-Attiyah. “It’s a great idea, one
stage used twice. Everybody will be there and it will be an
interesting rally.”
Al-Attiyah, from Qatar, has a long record of success competing in
Cyprus and finished first when the country hosted its first
Intercontinental Rally Challenge event in 2010.
Street stage to open Cyprus Rally
Next month’s Cyprus Rally, the final round of the
Intercontinental Rally Challenge, will get underway with a
superspecial stage in downtown Pafos.
The LTV Super Special Stage, which is backed by the event’s
local broadcaster, covers two laps of a 1.6-kilometre all-Tarmac
course around Pafos Town Hall and gets underway at 19:00hrs local time
on Thursday 3 November. Access will be free for spectators.
“The LTV Super Special Stage will be a spectacular event and
potentially the most exciting sporting event we have ever seen in
Cyprus,” said Antonis Michaelides, chairman of the event
organiser Cyprus Automobile Association. “It will be a
complicated thing to do, but I am confident we will achieve something
truly memorable.”
Hunt aims to finish IRC 2WD Cup on the up
Reigning IRC 2WD Cup champion Harry Hunt has vowed to finish his 2011
season on a high despite failing in his bid to defend his crown.
Hunt needed a strong result in the two-wheel-drive division on the
most recent round in Scotland but a crash on the final day put him out
of the running.
“Harry was genuinely not far off the pace and making up time on
the leader in Scotland when he got caught out in the slippery
conditions and went off the road,” said Hunt’s team
manager Iwan Evans. “But this was valuable experience for Harry
because he’s experienced the pressure that comes with chasing
victory. The more he does this the more it will help his progression
and I’ve no doubt he’ll be challenging for the win on his
next rally.”

Monras quickest in Barcelona F2 test

1. Miki Monras topped the timesheets during today's F2 test in Barcelona

Spaniard ends day fastest overall ahead of season finale this weekend

Miki Monras led the way during today’s (Thursday) official FIA Formula Two Championship test in Barcelona, ahead of the final rounds of the season.

The 19-year-old Spaniard topped the timesheets with his best time (1:38.279s) coming in the first of four standalone sessions at the 4.655km Circuit de Catalunya – venue for rounds 15 and 16 this weekend (29-30 October).

Newly crowned 2011 F2 Champion Mirko Bortolotti was second quickest overall with the Italian, like most of the F2 drivers, setting his best time early on during dry track conditions before rain hit for the final two stints.

Brit Alex Brundle, who picked up his third podium of the year in Monza last time out, was third fastest for the day followed by Dutchman Kelvin Snoeks and Frenchman Benjamin Lariche.

Jack Clarke, who had also looked quick all day, ended sixth just in front of Tobias Hegewald, Mihai Marinescu, Mikkel Mac and Thiemo Storz.

Heavy rain in the afternoon sessions meant drivers were unable to improve their times but it did give them vital wet running testing before tomorrow’s (Friday) first free practice session which gets underway at 10:20 (local time).

Speaking afterwards Monras, who currently lies fourth in the drivers’ standings, said: “We’ve had a really good day and was quick in both the wet and dry which is good because the weather forecast is mixed for this weekend. I’m really confident heading into the final rounds and really want to give my best, especially with it being my home track that I know well and have a lot of people supporting me.”

F2 Official testing – Barcelona, combined session times:

1. Miki Monras, 1:38.279s
2. Mirko Bortolotti, +0.193s
3. Alex Brundle, +0.958s
4. Kelvin Snoeks, +1.117s

ALEX PALERM ALCANZA UN NUEVO NIVEL

Veröffentlicht am von

El piloto mallorquín de la escudería Illes Balears ha participado este fin de semana en la última prueba del Campeonato de España de Karting celebrada en el circuito de Alcañiz (Aragón).
La evolución de Alex Palerm es increíble, en su primera temporada con los pilotos "grandes" en la categoría X30, Palerm ha luchado con los mejores pilotos de España y ha conseguido alcanzar un nuevo nivel como piloto.
En esta última prueba del Campeonato, el equipo patrocinado por Olives Rosselló ha logrado clasificarse en cuarta posición para las mangas de carrera, un resultado impensable a principio de temporada y que ha sido posible gracias al esfuerzo y dedicación de todo el equipo, los entrenamientos y dura preparación del piloto que sigue mejorado carrera tras carrera.
En la primera manga de carrera, Palerm se marchaba con el grupo de cabeza y rodaba en tercera posición para lograr un merecidísimo pódium, cuando un piloto le golpeaba y sacaba de pista, al retomar la carrera el mallorquín cruzaba la meta en novena posición.
Partiendo desde la novena plaza en la segunda manga, Palerm avanzaba para marcharse de nuevo con el grupo de cabeza pero un fallo en los frenos le obligaban a cambiar su pilotaje, alargando las trazadas y perdiendo un valioso tiempo que le relegaba a la decimoquinta posición final.
El equipo se queda con lo positivo de esta jornada, ese cuarto puesto de la clasificatoria y el excelente ritmo demostrado en carrera. El siguiente objetivo para el joven piloto del Diabolo Karting es el pódium y estar entre los cinco primeros la próxima temporada.
Para esta última prueba del Campeonato se han desplazado varios pilotos Baleares hasta Alcañíz y han comprobado de primera mano que el Campeonato de España es realmente duro, no es lo mismo que una prueba regional o una copa monomarca, el nivel del nacional es muy exigente y solo los pilotos bien preparados pueden aspirar a conseguir resultados.

Luis Salom: G.P. Malasia – Carrera

Veröffentlicht am von

La carrera de Sepang acabó demasiado pronto para Luis Salom. Ya en la vuelta de reconocimiento la moto fallaba y cuando llegó el momento de la salida se ahogó, por lo que el piloto del RW Racing GP no pudo realizar una buena salida desde la quinta plaza de la parrilla, perdiendo muchas posiciones. Delante de él se encontraba Johan Zarco, por lo que se puso trás él para remontar posiciones. Pero de de repente, sin tiempo para reaccionar, se vio inmerso en una caída multiple.

Jasper Iwema golpeó al también mallorquín Joan Perelló y este último arrolló a Luis Salom, yéndose ambos al suelo. Enseguida se dio cuenta que se había hecho mucho daño, ya que la pierna derecha de Luis quedó atrapada entre la rueda trasera y el basculante. Fue trasladado rápidamente al centro médico del circuito donde le hicieron varias radiografías. En un principio parece que no hay nada roto, pero habrá que esperar a nuevas pruebas para confirmalo.

Luis Salom: “La moto no ha terminado de ir bien durante todo el fin de semana. Hemos tenido muchos problemas de puesta a punto, por lo que he podido hacer muy pocas vueltas a buen ritmo. Hasta en el warmup la moto fallaba y haciendo la vuelta de reconocimiento se ahogaba.”

“En la salida la moto se ha ahogado otra vez, por que he perdido muchas posiciones, pero he visto a Johann Zarco, que tuvo también un mal comienzo. Estaba justo en frente de mí y pensé: Bueno, me quedo con Zarco y juntos podremos remontar hasta el grupo delantero, pero de repente estaba en la grava.”

“Me duele mucho la pierna y el pie derecho y casi no puedo apoyarla en el suelo. Cuando llegue a casa, en Mallorca, me volverán a hacer radiografías para estar seguro de que no tengo ninguna fractura. Espero estar recuperado para la carrera de Valencia, dentro de dos semanas, ya que no quiero perdérmela.”

“Estoy profundamente conmocionado por el accidente que le ha costado la vida a Marco Simoncelli. Todo lo que ha pasado hoy ya no tiene ninguna importancia. El motociclismo está de luto. Siempre te vamos a recordar.”

Este fin de semana se ha celebrado en la localidad cordobesa de Peñarroya, la séptima prueba del Campeonato de España de trial, participando en ella, en la categoría "Cadetes", el joven piloto del CTEIB Andreu Oliver, que está acompañado por el director del Centre de Tecnificació Sebastián Crespí, que le está haciendo de mochilero.

La prueba daba comienzo a las nueve de la mañana, con un día muy nublado y con pronóstico de lluvia. Además un fuerte viento dificultaba el movimiento de los pilotos encima de las motos. Andreu, que salía el primero de los cadetes, utilizó la estrategia de hacer las zonas rápidamente, por si aparecía la lluvia, pero una caída en el inicio le retrasaba un poco, y al ver que el tiempo se mantenía decidía tomarse la prueba con más calma.

De esta manera Oliver realizó un trial muy irregular, con algunos errores en las primeras zonas, pero con grandes aciertos en las últimas zonas, que lo situaron en la tercera posición.

Se trata del sexto pódio de la temporada, lo que confirma la buena trayectoria de este joven piloto de la Escola Balear de l´Esport.

Este fin de semana se ha celebrado en el Circuito de Sepang la penúltima prueba del Mundial de Motociclismo, el G.P. de Malasia, en la que ha participado el deportista del CTEIB Joan Perelló. El piloto del Matteoni Racing, que salía desde la 23ª posición de la parrilla, ha hecho una gran salida, remontando hasta la 15ª posición. Pero este magnífico inicio de carrera ha sido infructuoso, ya que un piloto ha colasionado con Joan en la primera curva, ocasionándole una caída. Para empeorar la situación se ha llevado consigo al otro piloto mallorquín de la categoría, Luis Salom.

Joan Perelló: “Estaba con muchas ganas, ya que había realizado unos buenos entrenos. La moto iba muy bien y creo que podría haber estado muy cerca de los puntos, pero no ha podido ser. Ahora sólo queda la carrera de Valencia, en la que voy a darlo todo para acabar la temporada con un buen resultado.”
