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

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.

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.

El equipo Folch Endurance, en el que milita el mallorquín Pedro Vallcaneras, ha llegado a un acuerdo con la marca de neumáticos Pirelli mediante el cual tendrán el “status” de oficiales.

José Mª. Folch, que ha mantenido reuniones con las diferentes marcas presentes en el Mundial de Resistencia, ha comentado: “Pirelli será nuestro neumático para toda la temporada. He considerado diferentes ofertas y por varias razones la balanza finalmente se ha inclinado por Pirelli. El trato de Equipo Oficial para el Campeonato del Mundo de Resistencia ha desencadenado que lleguemos a un acuerdo. Desde el principio las dos partes nos hemos entendido, ellos han sido claros a la hora de exponerme el acuerdo. Por otro lado y dentro de mis posibilidades para la temporada 2010, ser equipo número uno de un suministrador como Pirelli supone un grandísimo paso adelante. Ellos siempre han estado presentes en el Endurance y no han dejado de evolucionar sus productos en este campo. Estoy convencido que es un acuerdo de colaboración muy interesante para las dos partes”.

Por su parte Pedro Vallcaneras opinaba sobre este acuerdo: “Pirelli ha demostrado que es una gran marca y estoy convencido que ser equipo oficial de esta fábrica de neumáticos italiana será muy positivo para el equipo. Ya tengo ganas de probar estos neumáticos para ver como se comportarán en las difíciles condiciones de las carreras de resistencia, donde precisamente los neumáticos juegan un papel importantísimo en los resultados”.

DuWo-Racing auf dem Podium in Dubai

Mit einem eher ungeliebten 70. Startplatz, bei 74 Teilnehmern, musste sich DuWo-Racing beim 24h Dubai 2010 zufrieden geben. 2009_01_15_D70%20055 Nach dem Nachttraining am Donnerstag bemühten die Mechaniker des Teams sich um ein neues „Set up“, und diverse Feinarbeiten am BMW 130i wurden vorgenommen. Die Mühen blieben nicht ohne Wirkung und nach dem Start am Samstag um 14.00 Uhr stürmten die fünf Fahrer von DuWo-Racing; die Franzosen Fred und Nicolas Schmit, Jean-Louis Dauger und Antoine Orel, sowie Jean-Marie Dumont, unaufhaltsam nach vorne. Zur Halbzeit des Marathons lag das Quintett schon auf Platz 38. 2009_01_14_%20120%20DW-NL Am Samstagmorgen um neun Uhr musste Orel ausserplanmässig seine Box zu einem Reifenwechsel vorne links aufsuchen, es war dies der zweite Plattfuss im Marathon im Emirat. Das Team lag auf Platz 35 und führte die Division A4 (Benziner zwischen 2.000cc und 3.000cc) an als es knapp 20’ nach dem Reifenwechsel von einem Aston Martin Vantage eines britischen Teams, dessen Fahrer von der Müdigkeit überrascht worden war, abgeschossen wurde. Der Blechschaden war gering, doch die Querlenker auf der rechten Seite waren verbogen. Ersatzteile konnten beim K&K Racing Team aus der Tschechischen Republik besorgt werden und nach schneller Reparatur war der BMW wieder auf der Strecke. 2009_01_15_D70%20147 Allerdings war das Auto nur eine Runde draussen ehe es wieder an die Box zurückkam; es lief nicht mehr geradeaus. Die Boxenpartner – diese hatten den Aston Martin Vantage gemeldet der Orel torpediert hatte – von DuWo-Racing kamen zu Hilfe und bauten Lenkungsteile ihres BMW 130i (dem zweiten Wagen des Teams), dieser war wegen eines Motorproblems nicht gestartet, aus und stellten sie DuWo-Racing zur Verfügung. Als der BMW wieder das Rennen aufnehmen konnte war er auf Platz 43 abgerutscht; die Führung in der Division A4 war dahin. Da das Auto angeschlagen war entschied man sich zu einer zurückhaltenden Fahrweise; trotzdem konnte man auf Platz 41 fahren. Bei den Benzinern zwischen 2 L und 3 L wurde DuWo-Racing Zweiter.

HARTMANN RACING CONFIRM WTCC PLANS

Denmark-based Hartmann Racing have confirmed their plans to take part in a couple of 2010 FIA WTCC events with their Honda Accord Euro R cars, one of them driven by British touring car ace James Thompson.
"Our priority is the FIA European Touring Car Cup, because we want to defend the title James won last year at Braga," team principal Hans Hartmann revealed. " However we are also looking at occasional participation in the WTCC, because we would like to warm Honda up for the future."
The Danish team are due to take part in the WTCC events at Monza and Brands Hatch and they are currently in negotiations with a few experienced drivers for their second Accord car.
"I think we can spring a surprise or two at one of those races and represent ourselves well," Thompson commented.
