Carlos Sainz is left without participating in the Silk Road


During the past two years Carlos Sainz and Volkswagen have become a regular Russian test. The Silk Road or Silk Way, 31st is recently being used in preparation for the Dakar. Carlos Sainz there already knows victory, victory that may unfortunately not revalidate after that Volkswagen has taken the decision not to participate in the test.
Germany continued with its decision to abandon its program of raids, and the first victim will be the Silk Road, which remains without the participation of the most powerful team in recent years. Still not said that the Madrid won't participate next year in Dakar, but everything points to Sainz will not be in the output of Buenos Aires.

EuroCup Formula Renault 2.0: Robin Frijns is done with the lead after the zero of Carlos Sainz Jr.

 Timmy Hansen managed his first victory in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0, specifically in the second race of the day this weekend. In turn, Robin Frijns signed a victory in the first race and a second place in the second, which together with the zero Carlos Sainz, Jr. in the second race (eighth - 4 points- and fifteenth) does it install as new leader of the contest. The proof of Hungaroring has been a tough nut to crack for Sainz Jr.
In the first race, very good output from the second position of grid to take the top position and start to throw miles, opening hole during the first laps on Daniil Kvyat and Oscar Andres Tunjo Frijns. Carlos Sainz Jr., for his part, came in sixth row and was past the twists behind Timmy Hensen. Russian Kyvat lost finally for Oscar Andres Tunjo second position by a mechanical problem in the gearbox. However end third despite everything, and with the race setting the big beneficiary was Robin Frijns, who assumed the leadership of the Championship, and Kyvat that recortaba also valuable points about Carlos Sainz Jr.
The second race saw as Timmy Hansen came out of the pole and won his first race in the competition. Robin Frijns pulled oil with a second position behind it decisively as leader of the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0, while Carlos Sainz Jr has lost if cabe more fuelle fifth position with the zero fruit of his tenth.

Carlos Sainz wants to return to the world with the Volkswagen Polo WRC Rallye


No, not yet descorcheis the champagne because the return of Carlos Sainz is not going to be a return in full. When Volkswagen presented last Thursday his new project the world Rallye, Carlos Sainz was maintaining a conversation with her boss, Kris Nissen, to ask him that once he debut the new WRC Polo in 2013 this allows you to run the Acropolisrally in the Sainz got his first victory.
This decision by the Madrid is taken after the possibility that in 2011 will be its last Dakar and especially after seeing last year to Juha Kankkunen disputing the Rally of Finland at the controls of a Ford Focus RS WRC. After a conversation with his former teammate on the team of Malcolm Wilson seems to Sainz him it has become to bite the bug of world Rallye. That Yes, the matador promises a better result than the eighth achieved by Juha in the 1,000 lakes.
When the car is winning I would like to run in Greece, where I got my first win. Something similar to what already was Juha Kankkunen in Finland, only if he finished eighth, I at least want to be sixth.
Before that debut in two years, Sainz has a tight agenda. The usual proof of the 24 hours of Nurburgring will join two-time world champion will be the first to perform the test on the test Mule and also still uncertain what will happen with the 2012 Dakar, as this time will become a private project that needs at least one million euros to be in the next release of Buenos Aires.

EuroCup Formula Renault 2.0: Carlos Sainz Jr. leader of the event with more room if possible

 The Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 arrived this past weekend to the wonderful stage of Spa-Francorchamps for the dispute of the second race for the Championship, and he did with Carlos Sainz Jr. leader ahead of Robin Frijns and Will Stevens. Arrival at Spa is always cause for excitement and more because these pilots any way are young and very heady pilots. Why the first race was the scene of fighting and accidents that ended you prematurely with the departure of the red flag.
The struggle to head was more intense this time at Motorland Aragon, and they reached the first corner in this order: Robin Frijns ahead of Carlos Sainz, Jr. Miki Weckstrom and Timmy Hansen. These last two suffered the first incident of the race and were relegated to the fifth and thirty-second place respectively. With two fewer competitors and a Will Stevens in comeback from sixth to third place, the fighting was concentrated in Frijns and Sainz Jr. This fight was that Stevens get close more and more, but the Madrid ahead to Frijns in Combes and was leading. The following lap saw as Stevens ahead to Frijns and then out the Safety Car.
Fahmi Ilyas armour against John Bryant Meisner and while the Safety Car was on track there was another accident in the Raidillon, this time between Gregoire Demoustier and Timmy Hansen. This new accident caused the departure of the red flag which was finished the test for the sake of the safety of the Commissioners. Victory for Sainz Jr. that he saw his lead increased from his pursuers.
The race on Sunday was the first victory of the Russian Daniil Kyvat in the Eurocup, with a run of very solid in the lead since the beginning the test. Since the Raidillon in the first round, the Russian put land of medium while behind Robin Frijns went by dust to attack to Carlos Sainz, Jr., second after losing the privilege of the pole position from the left.
The safety car returned to work soon in Spa-Francorchamps for the accident between four pilots at the bottom of the platoon, and at that time Daniil Kvyat was leading the race ahead of Will Stevens, Carlos Sainz, Jr., Yann Zimmer and Robin Frijns. The close fight between these first five caused that Timmy Hansen as Stoffel Vandoorne imagine the Group's head, a fact which was adrift after a touch between both in the Source, and allowing Felix Serralles traced the sixth positions.
Kyvat finally took the victory ahead Will Stevens and Carlos Sainz Jr by pressing the classification more and more in the lead after Carlos Sainz, Jr. and giving the title an emotion that is appreciated.

Carlos Sainz, Jr. continues taking steps in the right direction


Last week we discussed in the light of the testing in Paul Ricard. There are pilot, and not be the case we would not have to tell that Sainz still leading times tables, this time at Motorland Aragon. The two days of tests have resulted with a Carlos Sainz Jr. who leads consistently tables of time, but with the rest of pilots (or at least a handful of them) very close at times. It is the advancement to a season that seems fairly tight, its competitiveness and difficult, but for the moment Sainz Jr. confirms and reconfirms that he's going fast.
With the 1'56 "043, was placed in front of Robin Frijns and Daniil Kvyat (a priori maximum rivals, for the time being) on Sunday morning, and afternoon gave the reply Robin Frijns, the first to adapt to the lower temperatures and lower 56. But not passing anything, Sainz fell twice while leaving it in 1'55 "410, unattainable. On Monday, more progression, intense fight between Sainz and Frijns, the Cronus but first absolute positioning for the Madrid with 1'55 "184. Maybe this is not the time, but the preparation involved and tuning that is effective. The next meeting will be at the Circuit de Catalunya and we will see these young but highly competitive pilots in action.

Carlos Sainz has no unclear future

It is not a surprise if we say that Carlos Sainz will leave the Dakar when Volkswagen finished their participation in it. The Madrid has maintained for a long time not found with sufficient forces to compete in the Dakar in a private team and suffer for days so good first car to break and stay out of the race.


It has also become clear that the objective that was when he started the adventure for four years is fulfilled more than victory achieved in last year's Edition. Who knows what you can expect good Carlos, but it seems that this time if we may be close to seeing the end of the career of the matador.


My aspirations are more than met. This year I've been to try to win and I enjoy it. If not, it would not go. But I am 48 years old and have been long time dancing around the world. When Volkswagen decided, I think already. And if you're not, I do not see a private. Go so you break the coche… No deception to anyone, now I don't know if I'll be next year.
