Audi stays on top at Sebring
March 15th, 2012
Audi continued its dominance of the Sebring 12 Hours weekend by locking out the top three positions in the second practice session on Thursday. Having gone fastest in the morning session, Romain Dumas put the #2 R18 turbodiesel he shares with Timo Bernhard and Loic Duval at the top of the timesheets again, only to be knocked off by 0.478s by Andre Lotterer in the sister car. Lotterer lapped the Florida circuit in 1m47.761s – the best time of the day- in the #1 car he is sharing with Benoit Treluyer and Romain Dumas
Button wanted Barrichello send-off
March 15th, 2012
Jenson Button is sad that the Formula 1 community never had the opportunity to celebrate Rubens Barrichello’s career with him as a result of the sport’s most experienced driver refusing to give up hope of finding a race seat for this season.
Grosjean confident of Lotus form
March 15th, 2012
Romain Grosjean is confident that Lotus can carry its strong testing form into the Australian Grand Prix weekend. The Franco-Swiss driver insists that the team did not prioritise outright performance throughout testing despite both he and his team-mate Kimi Raikkonen regularly featuring near the top of the timesheets. He believes that Red Bull and McLaren will set the pace and is eager to see where Lotus figures in the tight competitive order.”We didn’t try every time to get the best performance that we could, but it went well,” said Grosjean
Audi heads first practice at Sebring
March 15th, 2012
Audi kept up its pre-race Sebring form by topping the weekend’s opening practice session. Romain Dumas, in the No.3 R18 he will shared with Loic Duval and Timo Bernhard, set the pace with a 1m48.626s – a shade slower than the fastest time during testing, but enough to finish more than one second clear of the field. Perhaps surprisingly given Audi’s almost total lockout of the front three in testing, it was the ALMS-entered No.6 Muscle Milk HPD of Lucas Luhr, Klaus Graf and Simon Pagenaud which carried the fight to the lead Audi
The King of Vegas
March 15th, 2012
A trip to Sin City marked the half-way point in the NASCAR iRacing.com Class A Series’ season. As has been the case the previous five weeks, door-to-door, high points, stiff competition were just a few ways to sum up the racing at the lightening quick Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Although labeled a “Cookie Cutter” track by some, LVMS has characteristics that make it like no other. From the vastly different corners at each end of the track, to what seems like a roller coaster of bumps through Turns One and Two. The combination of those left some setup gurus scratching their heads. To no surprise, one driver not scratching his head was NASCAR iRacing.com Series World Championship competitor, and former winner, Kevin King. Sim racing’s answer to Wayne Newton, King [...]
Donington Park to Join iRacing Catalogue
by David Phillips on March 15th, 2012
iRacing.com, the world’s foremost online motorsports simulation service, today announced plans to add fabled Donington Park to its catalogue of race tracks. The first permanent park circuit in England, Donington Park has hosted motorcycle and automobile races for more than 80 years, and was the site of the Donington Grands Prix of 1937 and ’38 as well as the 1993 European Grand Prix, widely considered to have been Ayrton Senna’s greatest victory. “We’re delighted that Donington Park is becoming part of the iRacing service,” says Divina Galica, iRacing’s director of partner relations (and former Donington Park lap record holder). “It goes without saying that Donington has an amazing history but, perhaps even more importantly for our membership, it ranks among the most scenic and demanding circuits in the world. I’m [...]
Kostecki King of Trucks
by Tim Terry on March 15th, 2012
The stars of the NASCAR iRacing Class C Series crossed the midway point of the 2012 Season One campaign following Rounds Five and Six at the Phoenix International Raceway and Bristol Motor Speedways, respectively. While the venues are very different from one another, one thing stayed the same over the two weeks. When all the dust settled, Brodie Kostecki stood above the rest as the weekly leader at both tracks! Kostecki led over 1,200 other sim racers in taking the weekly win at the Phoenix International Raceway during Round Five of the series. The 100-lap online race that put Kostecki over the top for the week came on March 4th during a 3964 Strength of Field (SoF) event in which Kostecki went to victory lane after leading 72 laps. Finishing [...]
McKenzie switches into F2
March 15th, 2012
Daniel McKenzie says he will be targeting title glory after moving into Formula 2 for the 2012 season. The 23-year-old competed with Comtec in Formula Renault 3.5 last season, although he failed to trouble the points – his best finish being a 12th in the final race at Catalunya. The Briton previously competed in British F3, where he scored two victories for Fortec in 2010 and claimed the National championship the previous season.
Lorenzo tests GP2 car at Valencia
March 15th, 2012
Former MotoGP world champion Jorge Lorenzo spent a day testing an old-spec GP2 car with Spanish team Addax at Valencia yesterday. The Yamaha rider, world champion in 2010, had a full day of running in a first generation GP2 car, which was raced between 2005-2007 in the Formula 1 support series. “This is a unique experience,” said Lorenzo.

March 15th, 2012
Force India has nominated Gary Paffett as its reserve driver for this weekend’s Australian Grand Prix, because its regular incumbant Jules Bianchi is unavailable.
Whincup seals Albert Park pole
March 15th, 2012
Reigning V8 Supercars champion Jamie Whincup sealed pole position for tomorrow’s first qualifying race as part of the Australian Grand prix support races at Albert Park. The 29-year-old smashed the previous lap record with a 1m55.0805s, putting him almost half a second clear of the field. “We’re in good shape, I didn’t want to burn up too many tyres,” Whincup said following the session.

March 15th, 2012
Eurotech Racing has unveiled the Honda Civic that Andrew Jordan will race in this year’s British Touring Car Championship. The NGTC-spec car has been built by Team Dynamics, which runs Honda’s works team, and will be powered by a Neil Brown-prepared turbocharged engine. The car was shaken down at MIRA on Tuesday and is being tested at Brands Hatch on Thursday
Button: I couldn’t be in a better place
March 15th, 2012
Jenson Button feels he is in the perfect position to fight for a second title this season ahead of the Australian Grand Prix season-opener. The 32-year-old Briton, who finished second in the points last year and was the team’s strongest challenger for the drivers’ title, said that having McLaren’s belief behind him was a huge boon as he embarks on his 2012 campaign.
Rivals ‘to follow’ Mercedes wing concept
March 15th, 2012
Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner believes all of Mercedes’ rivals will now be forced to copy its DRS-assisted rear wing F-duct, now that the FIA has confirmed it is happy with the concept. Although some of Mercedes’ rivals were unsure about the legality of the device, which helps boost straight-line speed even more when DRS is activated, the FIA’s Charlie Whiting said on Thursday there were no issues. And Horner, whose Red Bull Racing team is already well advanced in developing its own version, thinks that all teams must now invest in working on similar projects
HRT requests scrutineering delay
March 15th, 2012
HRT has requested a delay to the scrutineering of Pedro de la Rosa’s car until Friday morning, while it continues to work on completing its second chassis. The Spanish outfit lodged a request with the Australian Grand Prix race stewards on Thursday to be allowed to delay scrutineering of car number 22, with the FIA duly agreeing for it to be examined before 11am. HRT only managed to shake down one of its cars at Barcelona last week during a filming day, before shipping its contenders to Melbourne for the first race of the campaign.
Mercedes rear wing concept is legal
March 15th, 2012
Mercedes’ hopes of delivering on its strong winter testing form have received a boost, with the FIA confirming ahead of the Australian Grand Prix that a radical wing concept the team has pioneered is fully legal. The Brackley-based outfit stirred up interest from its rivals throughout pre-season testing with its W03 featuring its own version of a rear-wing F-duct concept – that some suspected was activated by vents being opened when the upper wing elements moves during DRS activation. It is understood that rival teams queried the legality of such a system – which vents the air through the endplates and in to the main plane, to help stall the wing and boost straight-line speed – with the FIA.
Hamilton unsure of what to expect in Oz
March 15th, 2012
Lewis Hamilton says he has no idea what to expect from the season-opening Australian Grand Prix this weekend. The British McLaren driver, however, reckons Red Bull, plus Lotus, Mercedes and Ferrari are looking strong. “I’m not expecting anything,” Hamilton told reporters in Melbourne on Thursday.
Massa: Ferrari must focus on victory
March 15th, 2012
Felipe Massa has urged Ferrari to fight as if it is competing for victory in this weekend’s Australian Grand Prix, even if that proves beyond the capabilities of its 2012 car.
Vergne not putting pressure on himself
March 15th, 2012
Jean-Eric Vergne says he is not putting any pressure on himself ahead of his grand prix debut in Australia this weekend. The Frenchman, the 2010 British F3 champion, is making his race debut in Formula 1 machinery in Melbourne after having secured a deal with the Toro Rosso team. Vergne conceded he was still finding it hard to believe he is an F1 driver and says he will treat his debut as any other race
Di Resta: Midfield under more pressure
March 15th, 2012
Paul di Resta believes that the midfield teams in Formula 1 are under more pressure this year because the competitive spread of the grid has closed up. One of the trends to come out of winter testing appears to be a much closer spread between most of the teams, with very little to choose between those in the middle of the pack in particular. Di Resta’s Force India team worked its way towards the front of the midfield with a very strong finish to 2011, but the Scot believes that the competition will be even fiercer in that battle than it was last year
