This weekend was held at the Circuit of the Comunitat Valenciana Ricardo Tormo in Valencia the second meeting of the calendars in the superstars Series, a championship in which the presence of saloons of great benefits, closer to the product of that street in the DTM, is your main attraction.
During all the week-end, Andrea bertolini (three-time champion of the FIA GT and FIA GT1) with the maserati quattroporte the Swiss Team and Luigi Ferrara, with the Mercedes c63 amg of CAAL Racing, were pilots to beat during the entire weekend and it was they who were distributedpole (Bertolini), victories and fastest laps (Bertolini in race and Ferrara in the second).

Audi dominate Le Mans test day

 The only official seminar of test teams can play in the La Sarthe circuit before the 24 hours of Le Manswas held on the Sunday. It was also the first time that Audi, the R18, and Peugeot, with the 908, measured their new weapons, also at the scene of the Battle Royal in June. After the seen on Sunday, Audi is a small step, small, ahead of Peugeot, even if we look at in terms of speed, its Achilles heel in the past few years.
That Yes, I can say is that new models are almost as fast as its predecessors down the barrier of 3: 30. But we also need to speak of equality as the three Audi and one of the Peugeot made in the same second, 3: 27 with the R18 of Rinaldo Capello, Tom Kristensen and Allan McNish in the first place. The old rockers never die.
Behind the all-powerful Audi and Peugeot, including the semi-oficial of Oreca, who sneaks in front one of the officers of Peugeot Sport, the Pescarolo-Judd of Collard-Tinseau-Jousse though already at almost 10 seconds for the fastest time of the day. The other alternative in the form of vehicle from gasoline, the B10/60-Toyota Lola of Rebellion Racing in Le Mans presented new aerodynamic development.

Special mention needs to the Aston Martin AMR-One. Between the two units that were present in La Sarthe, completed no more than 5 laps. Much, much work which they have ahead of David Richards boys if they do not want to ridicule. Maxi Cortes, with Zytek 09 H Hybrid of Mik Corse also suffered many technical problems and could shoot little making impossible that his three novice pilots give the 10 laps which calls the OCP as a minimum in order to participate in Le Mans. Maxi Cortes has already announced on her facebook that will not be at the gala event.
In LMP2, the Oreca 03-Nissan has been as the fastest. The Signatech Nissan of Mailleux-Ordonez-Ayari beat her sister of Team Oreca Matmut piloted by Premat-Hallyday-Kraihamer in 62 milliseconds. The Zytek-Nissan of Greaves Motorpsort completed the "podium" which was added less to the HPD ARX-flat of RML.
In TG Pro, domain of the Ferrari 458 Italy GTC of Hankook Farnbacher and Risi Competizione ahead of the BMW M3 of Augusto Farfus, Jorg Muller and Dirk Werner.

Dani Juncadella and Roberto Merhi dominate the first meeting of the F3 Euroseries in Paul Ricard

This weekend has begun the 2011 in the f3 Euroseries season (for any questions, I refer you to the previous excellent made the Lynx of the Paddock) and it has done in the best possible way for our two drivers in the Championship. Dani Juncadella and Roberto Merhi have dominated with authority at Paul Ricard. The Spanish share box at Prema Powerteam and after apparently today, and beyond what we can expect, are the two leading candidates to take the title.
Before getting into flour, should be mentioned in this season the F3 Euroseries presented some other change. In 2011, there will be three races at each meeting of the F3 Euroseries: a long first 40 minutes, a second in the sprint for 20 minutes and finally, a third race in 40 minutes.

The following system is used to determine the grills of each race. During the rating takes into account the two best times of the pilots. The best time will determine the position of output in the first race. The second, in the third race. The results of the first race, be counted for the grill of the career of 20 minutes, with the top eight classified in reverse position. More or less as it was the case until now.
As for the score, the two long races are governed by the scoring system of formula one (25, 18, 15th) while the second race will be the score of the DTM (10, 8, 6...).

On Friday, the opening meeting of the F3 Euroseries began in the best way to Roberto Merhi. Merhi had the pole for races 1 and 3, while Juncadella had to be content with fourth place in both grills. In the first race, things not marched well for Merhi that was surpassed by the two pilots of Mucke, Melker and Rosenqvist and Juncadella. Triplet for Mercedes with Jucadella third and fourth Merhi.
 In the sprint race, Merhi achieved the first win of the season ahead of Marco Wittmann, first podium finish for Volkswagen that this year it seems that they will not dominate in 2010, and again, third drawer for Juncadella. No they would end up there the good news for the Catalan pilot. This morning in the third race, Juncadella has surpassed Merhi to gain the victory and placed as the first leader of the Championship. Today, second Merhi, is second in a qualifying dominated by Prema and Mercedes.
