It is difficult to fill a stadium of the Atletico de Madrid (55,000 seats), but still 15-20 thousand people gathered, put the note color to the event.
If we move quickly at least important, performances by Chris Pfeiffer, Ander Vilarino and his vehicle in the Nineteens Series, the drifters, or children of the Suzuki Swift Cup put his party and made that intervals would be more bearable. But what really all wanted to see was large pilot mediate with the Silver Car S2. Small prototypes of 185 HP and 450 kilograms of weight.

Stadium Race. Vicente Calderón becomes a circuit

 Tomorrow, Thursday, June 30 is celebrated at the Vicente Calderon Stadium stadium race. An event in the purest style The Race of Champions, although more typical. Spanish car for a grid of pilots that mixes equal foreign stars with some of the main drivers of our country.
The list of national pilots is headed by Jaime Alguersuari and Marc Gene, two formula one drivers, although it will be composed of others from different categories such as Andy Soucek, Dani Sordo, Nani Roma, Xevi Pons, Joan Vinyes and Gorka Antxustegui.
On the foreign side, other two pilots from the great Circus: Adrian Sutil and vitantonio liuzzi. And two others who do not need any type of presentation: stephane peterhansel and Jacques villeneuve. The Canadian has been the last to join the test and comes from directly in the NASCAR Nationwide Series that competed last weekend. And we have already discussed it rolled it a bit.

As we have said, the event will be in the style of The Race of Champions. The estadio Vicente Calderon has created circuit asphalt in the form of eight of 700 meters of rope and two lanes (8 metres wide) at which drivers can measure of your your. And it should not be forgotten in another of the protagonists, the car. The chosen vehicle has been a silver Car s2, renamed the Stadium Race Car. A CM of only 185 HP, although with a contained weight 450 kg, which makes it a perfect vehicle for this event. Small and fast.
To decide who is the best pilot of the stadium race, the event will consist of two phases: a classification and a second in direct duels. First, drivers will try to get the four best times to go directly to the quarter-finals while the remaining eight will begin to measure direct duel.
Time is important because it will set the pairings. From there, four pilots from the classification shall be measured with the winners of the second round duels. The winners will face off in the semifinals and there will be the two finalists, and of course, a champion.
In addition to the main event, there will be other shows. The two official Suzuki riders in the Spain and Spanish Rallyes, Joan Vinyes and Gorka Antxustegui will fight for a place among the twelve elected while the last spot will be the fastest pilot of the Suzuki Swift Cup.
There will also be various exhibitions. A car of NASCAR, but the rumors say that it will be Ander Vilarino with his car in the Nineteens Series, Chris Pfeffier stunts and the usual drifters. The quotation, June 30 at the Vicente Calderon Stadium, 19: 30.

Stadium Race. La versión española de The Race Of Champions


On 30 June, the Estadio Vicente Calderon, home to Atletico de Madrid, will become one day a racing circuit. For the second time, the first edition was in 2008 in Gran Canaria with bad memory on my part, will be the Stadium Race, an event in the style of The Race of Champions (Moreover, the design of the layout is very similar)in which we can see compete to pilots of different categories including clarifying who is the best. An honorific title that does not go beyond the pure fun but has its hook.
Among the confirmed pilots, for the moment all national, the relationship is quite interesting. Jaime alguersuari, nani Roma, Marc gene, xevi pons, dani Sordo and Joan vinyes.. .and more missing. The weapon that will be the pilots will also be of Spanish origin. The S2 Car Siver, renamed the stadium race Car, is a CM of which you can see every weekend on the mountain climbs and which has as main virtue its low weight. Only 450 kg, without driver, to 185 HP from a Suzuki motorcycle engine. In addition its reduced dimensions make it a perfect model for the layout of 8 metres in width.
