It does not conform to the spirit of the competition

 On the occasion of the Grand Prize of Spain, the controversy came at the hand of Ferrari Formula 1. Its new rear spoiler presented each outgoing that seemed to get out of the norm and quickly, Charlie Whiting and his henchmen made her look in the. By the way, on the day on Thursday, the wing received the approval of the FIA.

The rear spoiler was banned but not by that was outside the norm, if you look at it the wing does, but in voice of the FIA, the new wing did not conform to the spirit of the competition. A phrase that begins to be so hackneyed it has lost much of its meaning. Now would have to ask ourselves: what is the spirit of this competition?.

For already more than two years, Brawn GP revolutionized the circus of formula one with a double diffuser. Following the protests of the teams, which it had designed so, the FIA decided to Ross Brawn and although, lawless, the spoiler no was banned. At that time were already heard voices speaking of the spirit of the competition.
If we adhere to the rules of procedure, this marked not the number of planes of the diffuser for what each team could design it with one, two, three, or those who would like to. Curious that just a year later, the double diffusers were banned.

Last year, controversy has been reproduced in 2011, the flexible wings jumped to the fore. At this point, one of the tests of the FIA that provided the flexibility of this element. The wings of Red Bull not exceeded them in the first instance in even after the Grand Prize of Belgium, were imposed harsh test.
This season, according to the photos, it is clear that the front of Red Bull wings are flexible. That Yes, in any case (seems that still no one really knows), meet the standard. If you look at the rules that says that any aerodynamic element can be mobile, despite overcoming the test, the wing should be declared illegal.
With this I do not mean that a team or another make traps. Each team is to limit regulation and does whatever is necessary. But the result is not always the same. Sometimes the FIA bans, others allow it. And with this the only thing that shows is that the FIA moves as sailboat. It depends on where blow the wind...

In 2009, Brawn GP was a Cinderella that should it stand out. Just the opposite occurred with Renault a few years earlier. His mass-damper was eliminated and thus all the advantage of the gala team. In 2011, despite the dominance of Red Bull (is supposed to show it is appropriate that both McLaren and Ferrari come), the new wing of Ferrari has not received the OK. The thing just not here. Broadcasters blown, invented by Red Bull, and that much of the grid has implemented, it seems that they will suffer the same fate and in the Grand Prize of England as they may not be used.
In summary, the interpretation not matched with the nature of the rules is something as subjective as the personal taste and so used to the will of the FIA. While no one is queje…

Motorpasión F1 in the spirit of Montjuïc: third day

Ends the spirit of Montjuic at the Circuit de Catalunya. As in the past two days, Motorpasion F1 was present. If yesterday was a day of training largely, today was the day of the races, a Sunday of racing any from the middle of the 70 or 80 years. Without a doubt, a final more than worthy for a spectacular event, that has made us enjoy as nice three fantastic days.
Yesterday the Circuit de Catalunya had looked back over time. Today, Montmelo evoked the feeling of the glorious of the auto racing competition era, yet with more success than yesterday or the day before yesterday. However, the influx of public has noticed increasing once the of Malaysia of formula one Grand Prix had been completed. A number of people which, as expected, has been exceeding the view in the previous days.
Throughout the day have been running at all time machine the carousel and the cars of shock, and the same has happened with the group that was encouraging the atmosphere, which has hardly stopped in all the time. Now it miss to see if the Organization of the event feels that the amount of public has been sufficient as to do this again next year. Here's one that special esperacon illusion to return in 2012.
As for the races, we have seen today that "hidden" side we had not seen yesterday, and it is that it should not be forgotten that, even if they are classic races, they are still racing, and pilots are still pilots. They struggle to maintain its position as much as any other. For this reason we have seen movements risky but exciting, especially considering that the vehicles are not exactly new, modern or as safe.
In the morning, passenger cars before 1966 have taken the track, with a career of entertaining for opening hours and whet your and be prepared for what came later. Because the second race of the day has been a career of Can Am + Interseries. These vehicles are amazing to see, and we must make a special mention for the Matra 670c, whose engine has an absolutely beautiful sound.
After the Can Am, the GT's returned to make your own, with an interesting career which started with a time behind the Safety Car, but he has not seen more problems than that which has ended with relative calm, but always with excitement. Perhaps that emotion is which has lacked the career of the Group C, because that four cars in track, while the Sauber-Mercedes C11 leading cannot be called exciting.
However, this was offset by the fact of seeing a historic car such as the Sauber-Mercedes C11, so, as you say, "something is something". But the main dish of the day came later, with the race of formula 1 Classic, again with the presence of Joaquim Folch. This has been a repeat of yesterday, with the Brabham fighting for victory, although this time Folch has been further away from the victory, although he has repeated second place.
Completed formula one has come a bit of a break for lunch, break that has taken the Organization to return to get the Montjuic formula one team to track vehicles. Important to mention that the Porsche 917 K has not come out today. The story of this part of the day, in any case, has been that has starred in the Ferrari 512 of the Montjuic formula one team.
After the only round that had to be done, and after having passed the chequered flag, the two other cars of the Spanish team have stopped to boxes, but 512 has continued shooting, and it has just stopped when a Commissioner has been situated in the middle of the line of goal with a red flag. Without a doubt, I would have done the same; If you give me a Ferrari 512, I also would never stop.
After noon, they have become the races. First the GT's prior to 1966 made his final appearance, with a duel closed between Jaguar and Cobra, which it has paid off with a second victory, this time. It was the second race of the Can Am + Interseries, with the traditional "output false" from the paddock of the circuit, which did very much enjoy the audience of that time.
To finish the races, have later come motorcycles again, to give the last show of the weekend competition. Once finished the final race, the Circuit de Catalunya has lived several exhibitions sponsored by Motor classic, and has been the concluding events of the event, which has gone round, or the less that has seemed from the outside.
Want now, probably from the Circuit de Catalunya to work for the career of the Masters Series, which is basically what we have been seeing over the weekend, is a scoring race for 2012 championship, since in 2011 was not scoring race. It is clear that far for next year, but if the Circuit they are serious, they will be ready to make it even better.
I hope that this Assembly I has been fun and exciting for all those that have gone to the circuit, coming from close or far, and that you liked enough to want to go next year, if the destination you want as well. In the event that there is a spirit of Montjuic 2012, a server will be there again.

Spirit of Montjuïc: what we can see?

Last week we present here the event in the spirit of Montjuic, something that many of you are waiting for eager. But although the event we have heard much, who knows exactly what players will see in the Circuit de Catalunya?
We have investigated a little bit, in order to keep drooling at the thought of what is upon us this weekend, because I can assure you that the "elements" that we will see in court they have nothing to envy to the grills of the big occasions.
A week ago we were talking about that I could see the legendary Porsche 917 K used in the recording of the film "Le mans", Steve McQueen, as well as the Ford GT40 of the Montjuic formula one team. But is that in total there will be three Ford GT40, as well as several Lola t.
In addition, cars such as the AC Cobra, Aston Martin, Chevrolet Corvette, Jaguar E-Type, Morgan or Porsche 904 coparan of WP's category. In the famed Group C will have to a pair of Porsche 962, two Nissan R90C, a Mercedes C11 ex-Schumacher and several Spice.
I not forget formula one, one of the attractions of the weekend. In the two categories that exist, we will have, among others, several Williams, Tyrrell, Lotus, March, Brabham, Arrows and McLaren. No doubt, long and varied, everything for everyone.
But on the occasion of the spirit of Montjuic, there will be a series of very special vehicles, which will be part of his contemporaries. These are, nothing more and nothing less, than the cars of the Montjuic formula one team. The winning Ford GT40 of the 6 hours of Barcelona should add a few colleagues.
We are talking about Abarth-Osella PA2 of Jorge Bagration, the Ferrari 512S and Chevron B21 Juncadella, Chevron B19 who competed in the 1000km of Barcelona in 1971, among any other surprises that we promise from the Organization. I personally think about everything that moves me.
All these cars will be exposed during part of the day to watch these jewels closely, but they will also have its time on the track, where must demonstrate why that passed into history. I have said that but I do not tire of repeating, it is an unmissable.
