Valsecchi continues winning streak
April 27th, 2012
Davide Valsecchi was once again in a class of his own as he wrapped up his third GP2 win in Bahrain in a week. The DAMS driver ran second initially, as poleman Giedo van der Garde made a good start and held on at the front in his Caterham entry. The Dutchman stretched the lead to as much as 1.8 seconds, but as soon as tyre wear became as issue, Valsecchi homed into view and van der Garde was powerless to fend off the championship leader
Globe Trotters
by Michael Booth on April 27th, 2012
Weeks 9 and 10 took the iRacing.com Prototype and GT Challenge outside of North America for the final time this season, to a pair of tracks 10,000 miles apart in opposite hemispheres. Their track layouts once again provided the globe-trotting sim racers with contrast from week-to-week as Silverstone’s wide, historic airfield layout in the English countryside differs radically from the tighter, more undulating Phillip Island venue on the south Australian coastline. Silverstone would be the final week with the 70 minute open setup race length, Phillip Island’s 45 minute duration also the last time it would be used this season. The Thursday and Friday 2000 GMT “hot split” concept for GT drivers continued, however with European daylight savings many drivers also took part in the earlier online race as well. [...]

by David Phillips on April 27th, 2012
Round 5 of the iRacing.com Grand Prix World Championship Series will be broadcast iRacing Live on Saturday, April 28 starting at 7 pm EDT (22:00 GMT). On tap are 83 laps of the 11 turn, 2.314 mile Okayama International Circuit.

With a win of his own and two runner-up finishes returning champion Hugo Luis (143) is doing his best to keep Huttu honest, while Luke McLean (113) and Jaroslav Honzik (102) are the only other sim racers to have breached the century mark so far. Can Huttu make it four of five? Can Luis win again and cut [...]

Teams: Perfect strategies key in 2012
April 27th, 2012
Formula 1 teams are convinced that improving strategy calls will be the key factor going forwards if they are to make the most of the current Pirelli tyres. With an increased focus on the impact that Pirelli’s 2012 tyres are having on the racing, there have been some suggestions that the variability of performance this year is turning F1 into a lottery. However, a number of teams are convinced that the situation will soon settle down – and that the most important improvement teams must make is in understanding how to make race strategies work for them.

April 27th, 2012

Solberg leads Ford superspecial sweep
April 27th, 2012
Petter Solberg took the early Rally Argentina lead as Ford dominated the Thursday evening superspecial that kicked off the event.

Ford went for soft tyres and swept the top five positions, with factory driver Solberg leading his temporary team-mate Dani Sordo – substituting for the injured Jari-Matti Latvala – by 3.6s.
