After my little “trip of pot” in the entry on the start of the Formula 1 World Championship, let’s change of third and a curiosity about racing. I imagine that many, like me, you would not know until today that Sweden has a prince named Prince Carl Philip, or internationally known as Prince Carl Philip Bernadotte, and also share love with most people who frequent Racingpasión.
The Swedish prince, among other things, has a rally license since 2008 and is involved in motor sport competitions. Since then Carl Philip has participated in the Porsche Carrera Cup Scandinavia, which already plans to repeat during the 2010 season. To prepare no one has thought best to get on a Subaru Impreza WRC and do a little hands on the snow. The truth is that she looks pretty confident behind the wheel of a racing machine.
It was now time that we received no further news of the circuit that is built in Asia to host the celebration of the Korean Grand Prix this year. A bad sign. Especially if the last we received was that teams were raising the idea of running in the far east and also envisaged a major shortage of hotel beds to accommodate all the “troops” to move the big circus of Formula 1.
It seems that these two fronts remain to be closed, but at least the organizers of the event have come to the fore to ensure that the circuit will be ready for the date of the grand prize, the weekend of 24 October, despite the delays encountered in its construction.
In this way the KaVo, Korea Auto Valley Operation, trying to silence all speculation that the works are not carried out on schedule. It is also intended to kill two birds with one stone, since this confirmation would set to rest some mouths that speak of a hole in the budget of 100 million euros. However, what is not said is what will happen with the theme of the hotels and with the dissatisfaction of both teams for transportation spending …
The words of Cho Yung Chung, President of KaVo:
The infrastructure of the circuit are registering good progress. The track itself is finished in about seventy percent and eighty main grandstands. The track is now visible. Should be completed in June.
After two seasons with the Mercedes SL 63 AMG Safety Car and Mercedes has decided to change the “boss” of the grid. The new Safety Car in Formula 1 will be the new AMG Mercedes SLS. A vehicle called to lead many laps. The German brand has been responsible for providing the safety car in Formula 1 in the last 14 years.
Ex-DTM pilot and former Porsche Cup champion Germany, the Safety Car will be driven by Bernd Mayländer. SLSAMG characteristics are, how could it be otherwise, of stroke. V8 6.3 liters and 571 hp gearbox with seven-speed dual clutch, carbon brake discs … the same characteristics as the street version.
A yellow flag when it met Jimmie Johnson pit was lucky Jimmie Johnson needed to be done with victory in the Auto Club 500 played in the track in Fontana California. But talk of fate when we champion the last four seasons is probably saying too much. Johnson is the largest of the grill and his legend still seems to be a little more self-aggrandizement.
But before entering into the annals of NASCAR, and is in its own right, Jimmie Johnson won the 48th in Fontana victory of his career. After the stroke of luck, Johnson had to fight with Kevin Harvick for the win. 20 laps in which Harvick was cutting the distance from the Chevrolet of Hendrick Motorsports until four laps to a little touch with the wall removed him from any struggle for victory.
The latest rumors have started to become stronger and stronger. The possible merger and USF1 Target Field is the latest chapter in one of the soap operas of the season. After the alleged meetings in Madrid last Tuesday, yesterday was a little further. The notice-filing would take place next Tuesday in Murcia, and already have a car, the Field Goal developed by Dallara. That yes, all this if they receive the approval of FIA, FOTA and Bernie Ecclestone.
As one plus one equals two, the pilots of the “new” team would not be other than Bruno Senna and Pechito Lopez. The representative of Argentina has been one of the parties most interested in meetings that are taking place. Moreover, the money that brings under his arm Lopez sure is welcome.
The union of these two teams would face the only solution to get to Bahrain (in the unlikely event that they can reach many words you have given Jose Ramon Carabante). A car less to build, less engines to pay, union sponsors (the name of Youtube still around) and efforts, reducciónde costs, a single seat … As for that last point, the team’s headquarters would be in the region of Murcia One of the leading proponents of Target Fields. Prevent the movement Aragon Motorland be the European base of USF1.
For some time did not use this forum to show “oddities” in the world of racing. The last member of this exclusive club is the Porsche Panamera S that N. Technology is preparing to participate in the Superstars championship Italian saloons representation based on high performance.
The Porsche Panamera S will rival the BMW M3, Audi RS4, Mercedes C63 AMG, Chrysler 300 M, Cadillac CTS-V, BMW 550i, Jaguar XF and Maserati Quattroporte. After a stint in the ETCC and WTCC Alfa Romeo’s hand and Honda Sipsz Mauro structure has turned its gaze to the Italian championship. The Porsche Panamera S has a 4.2-liter V8 engine that delivers 450 bhp, sequential gearbox and six-speed aerodynamic attachments typical of the competition, but we do very strange in this kind of vehicles.
The next day 25 February, the Serbian team had planned to debut its new car, the Stefan S-01 in the Portuguese track of Portimao. But things in Formula 1, Stefan GP has had to cancel his debut. And all for one simple reason. Bridgestone Tire has not provided them to his car.
The agreement of the Japanese multinational focuses exclusively on the business of Formula 1 and with teams that are part of the grill. As Stefan GP, today, is not it, because you can not use the Bridgestone Potenza Formula 1 World. And Bridgestone has not had time to furnish tires from GP2. It is the less curious that after all the effort to put a car on the track, everything is truncated because you can not get a “simple” tires.
Pending resolution of the soap opera that USF1, and the team of Jose Ramon Carabante, the confirmed Kazuki Nakajima (not get rid of the no solvent) and the future Jacques Villeneuve is going to be with the desire to “debut” on track with the new car Serbian.
Peugeot today unveiled its sports program for 2010. In what concerns us, the resistance, some of the news and knew, others we have known today. Perhaps more media is the absence of Sébastien Loeb among the drivers that will compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
In addition to the appointment of La Sarthe, Peugeot 908 will be present with their HDIFAP within 12 hours of Sebring (ALMS), the 1000 km of Spa-Francorchamps (LMS), Le Mans before and after the meeting gala, the 1000 km of Silverstone (LMS and Le Mans Intercontinental Cup) and the Shanghai street circuit on the occasion of the second and final appointment of the new intercontinental cup created by the ACO.
between the pilots, names can be divided between the three cars that take part in Le Mans in 2009. The number 1 is reserved for Marc Gené, Alex Wurx and Anthony Davidson will take the third and new partner. Nicolas Minassian, Stephane Sarrazin and Franck Montagny will form the French team, while Pedro Lamy, Simon Pagenaud and Sebastien Bourdais completed the campus. No trace of Loeb. Finally, Christian Klien will be the team’s reserve driver.
Target Areas of the soap opera, have spent the USF1 soap. In one week, the U.S. team until his condition has deteriorated into a deep coma that it does not seem to be improving. The latest news suggested that Peter Windsor and Ken Anderson have applied for missing the first four races of the season. The four races before the “season” in the European Circuit of Catalunya.Las latest news that have appeared, talking about the FIA will be exploring ways to USF1 could compete in the WRC. While being objective, the solutions proposed by Nick Crac, President of the FIA Senate, before the Speed TV channel specialized are not entirely rosy. Buying a car over, he mentioned, of course, the payment problems to Field Target Dallara; the merger with another team, proposed and discussed in conjunction with Meta Fields; continue to develop the car, lost the championship and first dates face penalties from the FIA and finally give up his World Cup place and try to get a job back in 2011 (if they retire next year and give back the square would trace). All are feasible, but I think only one real. Sometimes, a withdrawal time can be considered as a victoria.Vía | GP Update
On Sundays are usually not too prolific in terms of what is referred motoring news, so we bring you one of those videos “chorras “we reserve the blogging engine to fill the day. Dedicated full and affection for our fellow Autoblog, which are the precursors of such resources. And what we like … In particular it is Kamui Kobayashi current Sauber driver in the big Goodwood Festival 2008.
It seems that a native son of the world’s most technologically one resists a simplest things as complicated as a car is the Formula 1. Of course, laughter to the holder a video as “Formula 1 driver stupid” goes a good chunk. Especially considering that to get to the premier class of these pilots have had to overcome many obstacles in his career and therefore deserve respect from the fans.
