New victory for Martin Tomczyk. This time at the Eurospeedway Lausitz

For the first time in the recent history of the DTM, a pilot with a car for a year (taking into account that the newest version of the Championship is still the 2009) grinds out two victories in a season. And they might not be the only ones. In the past, Jamie Green, in 2010 and 2010 Norisring and Gary Paffett in Oschersleben 2007 had achieved that milestone.
After the victory achieved in the Bull Ring network, in the day yesterday, Martin Tomczyk took the win at the Eurospeedway Lausitz without that no one could stop them. Third on grid, German climbed a position at the exit to deal the final blow to Bruno Spengler during the first round of stops. The Canadian first entered something that advantage Tomczyk to continue shooting and trying to get the necessary distance. A wonderful move of refueling and change of wheels of the team of Tomczyk, 3.2 seconds by the 3.7 of Spengler, allowed producing change in the leadership.
From there, and with free land by delanta, Martin Tomczyk was the direct and no one could or coughing you. Not even Timo Scheider. The two-time (2008 and 2009) started from the ninth position but a strategy with a very long first stop and a second very short allowed to ascend to the second position ahead of Spengler. Finally the Canadian was third in 14 seconds! Winner Tomczyk.
For its part, very unlucky of Miguel Molina. The Spanish was gradually ascending positions to sixth position. A result which would have allowed it to achieve the first points of the season. A broken dream. The clutch problems ended his career. A new zero for Molina but that is partly rewarded for the good words had Wolfgang Ullrich to the after the race.
In general, Martin Tomczyk is the new leader with 30 points, one more than Bruno Spengler while that Timo Scheider amounts to the third position of the general with 19. Next appointment in the mythical urban layout of Norisring.

Martin Tomczyk continued the streak and takes pole in Spielberg

It continues the streak for Martin Tomczyk this Saturday at Spielberg circuit has won the pole for the race of tomorrow in the Austrian circuit. The German showed his best face on the wet track and exceeded in more than three you decimas and half the time marked by the Audi's Oliver Jarvis.

Third and first Mercedes ended a surprising Ralf Schumacher who got clearly beat the young promise, Eduardo Mortara. Poor turn to the two pilots of the Team Red Bull, Miguel Molina and Mattias Ekstrom that have been deleted in the Q1 and will come from the two last positions of grill.

In the case of the Spanish all the mess of the rain has caught it on track with smooth tires and it has taken a back rather than his rivals to enter pit to change tyres something that he has put on track with adequate tires when it was too late and the track was virtually flooded. This has been the amount of water falling on the Red Bull Ring that even the Q2 has had to stop for a few minutes waiting to blow the rain.

The Aston Martin AMR-One will not be in the 1,000 kilometers of Spa.Francorchamps

aston martin amr-one it was going to be the model that would try to return to the struggle for the victory to models of petrol in the 24 hours of Le Mans. A model developed entirely by the British manufacturer aiming to dethrone Peugeot and Audi.
Here the good news. First was his absence at the 12 hours of Sebring, then his bad result in the 1,000 kilometres of Le Castellet and to conclude, the problems suffered on the day of test of Le Mans on Sunday. In the test of the layout of the Sarthe, the two present models completed only 12 laps (10-2) and with a better time to 20 seconds for the fastest lap by Audi R18. A world.
Thus, in Aston Martin have decided to not be present in the 1000 km of Spa-Francorchamps, for both the Le Mans Series and the International Le Mans Cup, and focus on the development of the AMR-One with a view to the appointment of the 24 hours of Le Mans in June.
The guys from David Richards will review both engine and aerodynamics trying to find the rhythm which showed that they were in the two previous appointments. Also made the much-needed much-needed long-term test in a 24-hour race.

Neil Martin, Ferrari the big signing in 2011?

The interesting thing about the pre-season football tends to be the market move. By millions, big and small players find new accommodation. In formula one, the transfer media market is smaller, so only 24 pilots, but even so, "invisible" movements exist and sometimes have major change to a pilot on the other.
By 2011, Maranello decided keep your partner of pilots, but it not neglected the plot of signings. Ferrari took over the services of Neil Martin, until that time, responsible for the Department of development strategies of Red Bull. Martin went on to direct the strategic group of engineers created by Ferrari to decide career strategies.
One of the main peculiarities of Martin is not traveling to the great prizes that you are working online from factory. In the words of Domenicali, Martin and his team went to work in perfect synchronicity with the wall of boxes, but from Maranello. In this way, Ferrari has a group of technical experts capable of analyzing in real-time all the parameters of the single-seater during the Grand prize without having to exceed the ceiling of 45 internally displaced persons to each race.
Another curiosity is that all the parameters analysis is performed using mathematical models and that it seems that Martin is the best. Decisions are taken from the thrown data, variables and other parameters. The problem comes in mad courses in which there is no time to analyze and alone is worth the experience.
That Yes, Martin and his team did not decide the strategies they advise to them. The final decision take it from the wall, Pat Fry and Stefano Domenicali. FRY came to Ferrari last July and after the collapse of Abu Dhabi, was appointed as new technical responsible track and strategy replacing Chris Dyer. It won't be the first occasion that Fry and Martin to work together, as both were at McLaren.
But after three races of the season, the signing of Neil Martin seems that it has not been the balm that need the wall of Ferrari. Marred by a single-seat that is not going to back, in the Italian team decisions have not been not suited. When things go wrong, they can always be worse.

Aston Martin Muscle Milk and BMW win on the streets of Long Beach

 After 12 hours of Sebring, the american Le mans Series set course to the warm California. The stop was in the streets of long beach who have lived this weekend a real marathon competition with the presence of simultaneous of ALMS and IndyCar Series.
In LMP1, the race was a hand in hand between the Aston Martin of the Muscle Milk team and the Dyson Racing Lola B09/86-Mazda. And it was not because they were the fastest but because they were only prototypes enrolled in the higher category. The ALMS do not pass on his best time. In LMP2, a registered and thanks to the participation of five Formula Le Mans, the presence of the prototypes was more than testimonial.
In the battle to two, Lucas Luhr and Klaus Graf defeated Chris Dyson and Guy Smith despite the attempts of the latter. After two hours of career, the Aston Martin of Muscle Milk won by just 25 seconds over the Dyson Racing Lola-Mazda.

There was a totally different picture with the presence of the big brands of the category in GT: BMW, Chevrolet, Ferrari, and Porsche. Moreover, in that order crossed the goal with the victory of Dirk Muller and Joey Hand behind the wheel of one of the BMW M3 of Rahal Letterman Racing. Second were Oliver Gavin and Jan Magnussen Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1 officers while Toni Vilander and Jaime Melo completed the podium with the Risi Competizione Ferrari 458 Italy.

Martin Whitmarsh expects McLaren to surprise with its potential

It begins the world of formula 1 and swords are at the top. So that everyone uses to get breastfeeding, rather than the track put each one in its place. The director of McLaren has been one of them. Martin Whitmarsh acknowledges that McLaren will surprise in Australia, despite the lack of visible pace during the offseason.
The British recognized that during the winter the team has set very high goals and they have been their own victims of a development that was to go beyond the limits. That evolution has had direct consequences, that is you can already from the first race. McLaren will present an evolution of the MP4-26 at Albert Park.
Martin Whitmarsh believes not important what has been on the track during preseason training. True, they usually say little, but it is that the low form of McLaren has been worrying. That Yes, it is realistic, McLaren will not reach the Grand Prize of Australia as one of the favourites for the victory.

Aston Martin presents a completely new prototype to Le Mans

aston martin has presented today a new prototype ready to compete in the 24 hours of Le Mans, and what he has called AMR-One. It is made from scratch, as they say on their official website, and among other things almost what I like most is the decoration of Gulf. But I am very "pro Aston Martin".
New rules for Le Mans, new designs, as this prototype which have opted to leave it without closing (open cockpit), incorporate the shark fin and provide it with an efficient but much less thick engine. The propeller will now be 2 liter turbocharged, with six marches semiutomatico gearbox. And rear-wheel drive, but it is is almost truism.
Six wonders of these will be built, nothing more, for the international competition, one of them will compete in the ILMC, which includes 24 hours of Le Mans, and other two units will be derechitas at above special events. It is has also unveiled the pilot template: Darren Turner, Stefan Mucke and another pilot not announced yet will take the car number 007 (James…?), while Adrian Fernandez, Andy Meyrick and Harold Primat (CH) will do the team on the back of the 009.
