Racer Audi Mercedes driver drives back from first place in DTM, Chevrolet makes out a victory in the team event of the WTCC, and the gap between the leaders of the Indy Car series is reduced to a minimum of ...
The DTM race on the Brands-Hatch course was held in the rain with those who are closely watching auto racing tournaments are traditionally stocky with beer and popcorn in the hope of a bright solution and a struggle to win to the finish. In the tournaments, the stages of which took place over the weekend, there is no intrigue. Resurrection runs did not weaken it, but the other rules were still tight. The next stage of the German puppet championship of DTM (which took place on the English track Brends-Hatch) became the triumphal for Audi-representatives of this brand took the whole podium. And the winner of the race, Martin Tomczyk, has returned to the champions of the championship by taking off Bruno Schengler, who is heading for the Mercedes and leading the general set-up to the British race. The fate of the DTM race decided on the track-the choice of time for pit-stop for the results of the leaders was not seriously affected by Tomchik, the main troublemakeof this year. According to the idea, the main strike force Audi, traditionally, had to become Swedes Matthias Eckstrom and Timo Sider-both won DTMs twice and supported the Abt team, which has the status of factory. Tomczyk went on for Abt in the past, but he did not achieve much success, and as a consequence, he was "demandable". More specifically, it was transferred to a private collective of the Phoenix, the last victory of which was ten years ago in DTM. But something unexpected happened: even on last year's version of the Audi R14, the "opile" car racer drove faster than its ex-partners, who are performing R14 plus cars. The victory in Brends-Hatter was the third for Tomczyk in the year-and in the course of the race, he was in confrontation on the course overtook two pilots Abt, including the finish line at the end of the second Extry. The last three stages of DTM promise a full battle between Audi and Mercedes. It will be particularly effective against the backdrop of last year's ending, when the battle for title became a Mercedes in the long term. The next phase of DTM will take place on 17 September in Valencia. The real chances of the title in DTM are only two racers, but Martin Tomczyk (left) is ahead of Bruno Spengler by only one point!There is no such intrigue in the World Championship for Car Racing in Touring Car Championship. The only speaker here is the Chevrolet, a one-to-one favorite of the championship, and at the last stage in Valencia has become an uncompetitive competitor. However, the lack of intrigue in team standings is an exciting struggle in the personal. The world champion Gabrielle Tarquin from the Lukiil-Sunred team won the start of the first race, but the leaders held only two laps, and then the two Chevrolet racers-the acting champion, the veteran Frenchman Ivan Mueller and a relatively young Englishman Robert Huff. At the start of the championship, Haffe was able to create a decent break, but the summer of Müller began to decrease gradually-and at the stage in Valencia achieved a breakthrough, winning both races and leading the overall championship. Robert Haffa was unlucky once again: in the first race he was taken off the track in the post-strait and he was able to finish only the fifth. On the other hand, a successful intervention in the qualification qualification would reduce the risk of all incidents-but in the struggle for the first starting position, Huff lost to his teammate for half a second. In short, an Englishman can complain about "cheerful" rivals (who have been spoiling the Haffa race several times in the season)-but if he really wants to become a champion, it is more necessary to find speed reserves. The Englishman has the time, as the next of the last three stages of the WTCC will take place on October 23 on the Japanese track of Suzuka. The Indy Car Championship is the most prestigious tournament in the United States. Young American driver, Will Power, from the Penske team almost caught up with a multi-skilled Scot, Dario Frankitti, who is a member of the Ganssi team. After the race on the city route in Baltimore, held this weekend, the gap is only five points. It is not just little, but very little-because according to the rules of the championship, victory in the race brings at least 50 points. Frankitti won a good race, finished fourth-but Power first won the pole position, and then won a convincing victory. Deceptive in the finish line should not be misleading: until the last pit stop, Frankitti had a good chance of getting out of the second place and imposing Power on the last lap. The American smote his breath for a few minutes before the finish, when the pit-stop was in a heavy band of several cars and lost all chances of winning. As for the other bright moments of the race, one has to celebrate the original one at one of the re-starts. Normally, during the racing car, parts of the racing cars are spread out on different sides, and in the third round of the Baltimore highway the most natural cork was formed. Before the finish of the championship, the Indy Car racers have left three stages, the nearest of which will take place on September 17 at the Motegi road in Japan.
