Zanardi eyes Daytona 24 Hours bid
January 31st, 2012
Alex Zanardi says he is keen to contest next year’s Daytona 24 Hours. The idea of the Italian competing in the round-the-clock race was first mooted in 2006, with Zanardi proposing the idea to leading Grand-Am team boss Chip Ganassi, with whom Zanardi won two Champ Car crowns in 1997 and ’98. Zanardi said the Daytona plan was resurrected when he attended the team’s 22nd birthday celebrations in Minneapolis

Rossi: New Ducati a big improvement
January 31st, 2012
Valentino Rossi believes Ducati has taken a big step forward with its 2012 bike after an encouraging first day of testing at Sepang. Following Ducati’s tough 2011 season, team boss Vito Guareschi had said that he would be satisfied just to get the GP12 within a second of the pace in the Malaysian tests this week, but Rossi was 0.7 seconds off pacesetter Jorge Lorenzo’s Yamaha on day one – and felt significant improvements had been made to the bike

by Teemu Iivonen on January 31st, 2012
The fastest, most challenging, most exciting road racing series on the iRacing service, the iRacing.com Grand Prix Series features the Williams-Toyota FW31 on many of the world’s most fabled and demanding circuits.

The Season 4 2011 Grand Prix Series would see 289 drivers start a race during the 12-week long season. After finishing second to Andre Boettcher in Season 3, Jake Stergios (New England) was back again to compete for the top step of the podium.

January 31st, 2012
Williams has announced that it will unveil its 2012 Formula 1 car – the FW34 – shortly before the start of pre-season testing at Jerez on 7 February. The team will not hold a formal launch event, instead taking the wraps off the car in a pitlane photocall just before the winter running commences
WRC Academy to continue for 2012
January 31st, 2012
The FIA has confirmed the World Rally Championship Academy Cup will go ahead as planned this season – with M-Sport offering a full 2013 WRC season as a prize to the winner. There had been concerns for the WRC’s support series following the loss of promoter North One Sport earlier this month, but the governing body has confirmed a six-round Academy will begin on the Rally of Portugal in March.
Sutil ‘will take time’ after sentencing
January 31st, 2012
Adrian Sutil says he will take time to reflect and consider his next career move after receiving a suspended sentence for assaulting Lotus team co-owner Eric Lux. Sutil was given an 18-month suspended sentence and a 200,000 euro fine – which will be given to charity – for injuring Lux in an incident in a Shanghai nightclub following last year’s Chinese Grand Prix. The 29-year-old German does not currently have a Formula 1 seat for 2012, having been replaced at Force India by Nico Hulkenberg and seen Bruno Senna taking the last major vacancy at Williams.
Lotus to badge LMP2 programme
January 31st, 2012
Lotus has confirmed that it will back Colin Kolles’ team’s World Endurance Championship LMP2 programme, as revealed by last week’s AUTOSPORT magazine . The Kolles-run Kodewa squad will campaign two Lola B12/80s under the Lotus title, with Lotus-badged V8s from Engine Developments, which is also building the sportscar-maker’s IndyCar engine. Lotus’s motorsport director Claudio Berro said the partnership was an ideal way for the group to take a step up the endurance racing ladder after returning to the GT class with the Evora last year.
Lorenzo ecstatic with start to testing
January 31st, 2012
Jorge Lorenzo was delighted to commence his 2012 MotoGP campaign with the fastest time on the opening day of pre-season testing at Sepang – particularly as it marked the first time he had been on track since suffering a severe hand injury at Philip Island last October. The Yamaha number one was quickest by 0.3 seconds over Honda’s Dani Pedrosa in Malaysia today, while Pedrosa’s reigning champion team-mate Casey Stoner was sidelined with back pain after injuring himself as he warmed up to go out. Lorenzo needed reconstructive surgery on a finger after his crash in Australia, and had sat out the last three grands prix of 2011 plus post-season testing, so to be quickest on his comeback today was particularly satisfying.

Stoner hopes to make up for lost time
January 31st, 2012
Casey Stoner is optimistic that having to sit out the first day of Sepang testing with back pain will not prove too costly. The reigning MotoGP champion missed all of today’s session in Malaysia – the opening day of 2012 pre-season preparations – having pulled back muscles while warming up.
Toro Rosso reveal set for 6 February
January 31st, 2012

McLaren set for new car legality fight
January 31st, 2012
McLaren is bracing itself for a battle over the legality of its new MP4-27, AUTOSPORT can reveal. According to McLaren Applied Technologies managing director Geoff McGrath, the new car, which is launched tomorrow, will feature obvious design innovations which could potentially attract protests from rivals. These are the result of the team’s aim to be less conservative in the interpretation of the Formula 1 regulations than it has been in previous years
Lorenzo fastest as Stoner misses test
January 31st, 2012

Barrichello keen on IndyCar move
January 31st, 2012
Rubens Barrichello is considering racing in the IndyCar Series following his maiden test run with KV Racing on Monday. The Formula 1 veteran completed 94 laps of the Sebring short course on the first day of a test, and he said that he now has to seriously consider if he wants to be on the grid for the IndyCar season opener in St Petersburg on March 25. “If you go purely from joy, it wouldn’t be a problem,” said the 39-year-old
No Shortage of 2011 Season 4 Champions
by David Phillips on January 30th, 2012
iRacers never like to give up a good thing, which goes a long way toward explaining why Season 4 of 2011 didn’t conclude until 23:59 GMT on January 23, 2012 . . . Not only can we look forward to the start of 2012 Season 1, we can take a final look in the rear view mirrors at the season just past and celebrate the achievements of iRacing’s most successful and prolific sim racers. Kalle Ruokola certainly qualifies on both counts. He bested Yoeri Gijsen and Rami Kaukola to capture the Time Trial (TT) honors in the Corvette Class of the iRacing Prototype and GT Challenge (Fixed), and collected no fewer than four runner-up finishes in everything from Classic Lotus Grand Prix TT (behind Mark Mullineaux and ahead of David [...]
Salvatore Seals Second Tour Mod Title
by Tim Terry on January 30th, 2012
Brandon Salvatore completed a feat in the 2011 Season Four that no other iRacer has done before. The Georgia sim racer became the first driver in the history of iRacing to go back-to-back as champion in the NASCAR iRacing.com Tour Modified Series (NiTMS), and the first to win two championships in the six season history of the series. Salvatore sealed the deal at Thompson International Speedway by topping 77 other sim racers who took the green flag on the Connecticut high banks. Salvatore went to victory lane during Thursday’s 3834 Strength of Field (SoF) race in his final start of the season, leading every one of the race’s 125 laps. Former series champion Herb Engelhart was second, followed by Kevin Walker, Ray Farlow and Samuel Dick. One caution slowed the [...]
Dalziel: Second hard to take
January 30th, 2012
Ryan Dalziel said it was “hard to take” finishing in second position at the Daytona 24 Hours after being on course to win for so much of the race. The 29-year-old Briton, who was bidding to add to his victory at the 2010 event, put his Starworks Riley-Ford on pole position and led large parts of the race with help from his co-drivers Allan McNish, Lucas Luhr, Enzo Potolicchio and Alex Popow. But a major trip through the dirt for Luhr dropped the car off the lead lap during the second half of the event and left the team relying on clever strategy around the caution periods to get back into a threatening position.
Rankings: Daytona win boosts Wilson
January 30th, 2012
Justin Wilson made a glorious comeback from injury with a share of victory in the Daytona 24 Hours, and in the process ended a four-month slide down the Castrol EDGE Rankings. The Briton had not raced since suffering a compression fracture of his fifth vertebrae when he ran wide and over off-field bumps during an IndyCar practice session at Mid-Ohio last August. His injury resulted in a four month lay-off, half of which he spent wearing a back brace and being banned from exercise
