Remains an area of measurement of DRS for the European Grand Prix


The FIA was convinced that a single measurement DRS area is more than enough for the European Grand Prix at the Valencia Street circuit. I.e., modelled to the formula that they gave such good results in the past Grand Prize of Canada. Or translated into our language, are going to repeat to see if this time there is a race in normal and can be a little studied the effectiveness of the formula "1 detection area + 2 areas of activation".
In addition, as we discussed at the time, none of the two areas of activation of the DRS are consistent with the goal line, but that both areas are enabled on the "straight back". The first is 285 meters after the curve 10, whereas the second zone is allowed from 35 meters from the curve 14. And you can not miss the ingredient that my I ran at the time, which is that you can use both zones first to advance, and second to put land of medium. With power forward in the first "piece" of area.
While at Le Mans I could not respond too to the Grand Prize of Canada, but the truth is that this next weekend I will be with the eye to the use of two areas of DRS. A bit unfair is perhaps that that a single-seater has the opportunity to activate the DRS once fact overtaking, because the DRS serves to advance. For me it is a kind of paradox of the FIA.
However Nick Heidfeld, one of the more allied pilots to anything that says the FIA, wondered why not have two areas?
You could argue that it is probably too have two areas of DRS, but is a good idea to test at least once and then we shall see. I think that an area should be sufficient, but can why not try?

Nineteens Series, NASCAR's European version

 We are sure that the most fans remember the Speedcar Series. A kind of NASCAR which served as a support race for the Grand Prix of formula one in the middle with drivers in formula one as the main claim. The success of the contest was not excessive and after two seasons, the iron curtain fell.
The relief of the NASCAR outside USA, taken in Europe, and more specifically in France, the Nineteens Series in 2008. A Championship which has now crossed the Pyrenees with the presence of ander vilarino. The pilot of San Sebastian dismissed along with its sponsors presence in some evidence of the WTCC to participate in the Nineteens Series in full. A tournament which offers to champion a race of the NASCAR as a prize.

With regard to vehicles, these are developed by team fj. Under a tubular chassis with aspect of American model (teams can choose between Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustang and Ford Fusion) is a V8 engine and 5.735 cc Chevrolet origin with 450 HP for a total weight of 1150 kg.
The Championship has six eventsin Nogaro, Motorland Aragon, Zandvoort, Magny-Cours, Brands Hatch and Le Mans and in addition there are two extra meetings "all star" played at Spa-Francorchamps and Daytona. There are four different categories: ELITE, mainly for professional drivers; OPENfor amateur pilots; junior trophy, less than 25 years and legend trophy, more than 50 years.

The scoring system is the same as the NASCAR has implemented in 2011, with 43 points for the WINS with a bonus of 3 points for victory, one point for leading at least one round and another point for being the most laps led. Each meeting consists of two races, a short called Sprint and 25 minutes of duration and a resistance of 45 minutes.
