    Rally Gales

    Sunday morning, September 18, a tragic accident took the life of British WRC co-driver Michael Park. The accident took place during the final leg of the Rally of Great Britain. The Peugeot 307 of Park and driver Markko Martin was in a fine fifth place before it slid off the course and struck a tree, passenger side first. Martin was uninjured, but it is believed that Park died upon impact. He was 39 years-old. Park and Matin were in fourth place in the 2005 WRC championship, with five wins already under their belts. After learning of the tragic news, Peugeot withdrew their other car and soon after that, FIA officials decided to cancel the remaining stages. Team Peugeot released the following official statement: "Peugeot Automobiles and Peugeot Sport would like to express their feeling of extreme sadness and deep emotion to the family of Michael Park, known affectionately as Beef." Park is survived by his wife, Marie, and children William and Victoria.

    Silverstone

    The contents of SEAT Sport UK’s trophy cabinet has been boosted by seven large silver BTCC cups after a great performance at Silverstone today on Rounds 25, 26 and 27 of the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship. All three drivers collected a trophyfor recording a 1st , two 2nds and a 3rd place finish, SEAT won the manufacturers’ award in two races and was presented with another trophy for being the most successful team over the race weekend. James Pickford scored his best BTCC result when he finished 2nd in Round 25, with Jason Plato joining him on the podium in 3rd . Luke Hines was declared the winner of Round 26, his best result in the SEAT Toldeo to date, after Jason Plato was excluded from provisional 1st place after a racing incident. Starting from 10th on the grid in Round 25, Luke charged to 5th place where he stayed for most of the race until Gareth Howell hit the back of his Toldeo Cupra dislodging his rear bumper and he finally finished in 6th. In Round 26 Luke was lying in 5th behind James nine laps into the race when he accidentally tapped his team-mate, sending him across the gravel. Luke moved up to 3rd where he was able to take advantage of Gareth Howell’s retirement to claim 2nd place and his first BTCC podium with SEAT. He was then later elevated to 1st when Jason was excluded. Luke stored 21 points in the Drivers’ Championship, signaling his best race weekend performance for SEAT and out-scoring his team-mates (James 20pts; Jason 16pts). James Pickford had an absolutely stunning race weekend to deliver his best BTCC performance to date. He topped the time sheets in the first free practice session, qualified 4th and equaled his best BTCC result by taking 2nd place in Round 25. A rev limiter problem saw him lose position at the start of Round 26 and he was then accidentally tapped into the gravel by Luke, but James managed to recoverand finish 7th giving him a 3rd place grid slot for the final race of the day. Round 27 saw James involved in a four car battle with Dan Eaves, Yvan Muller and Jason. Finding that the balance of his Toldeo Cupra wasn’t quite as good as it had previously been he struggled to find the pace he needed and gradually dropped back to finish in 8th position. A water pump problem during qualifying saw Jason start Round 25 from 7th on the grid. During the race he set the fastest lap on lap seven and followed that with a strong 3rd place finish. Starting from 3rd in Round 26 Jason overtook team-mate James on the run down to Copse Corner. Jason then chased leader Tom Chilton for four laps before the two touched at the end of the National Straight. Chilton slid sideways and Jason went past closely followed by Gareth Howell. Jason held Howell off for the remaining 14 laps to win the race. A post-race stewards meeting then penalized Jason for his move on Chilton and excluded him from the race. Due to the regulations he started the final race of the day, Round 27, from the back of the grid with his full success ballast of 45 kilos. Jason made the best of the situation to enjoy a close race with Yvan Muller and charge through the field to secure a 6th place finish. Jason said : “I didn’t mean to touch Chilton in the second race. He was moving a little bit left and we just fractionally touched just before the corner. It’s very similar to the incident involving Yvan Muller and myself at Oulton Park where Yvan tagged me at the back just before the braking area and I went off the track. The stewards didn’t penalise Yvan back then so I don’t understand why they’ve excluded me for this now. It’s one of those things that you’ve got to take on the chin. Ultimately yes I did touch his car but I did get out of the throttle as he came across the front of me, but apparently not enough.” “I’m pleased with that final race. I was thinking before the start of it that there would be quite a few slow cars about and that it was going to be a case of predicting what they were going to do. I predicted they’d all be on the inside going into Becketts which they were, and so I went around the outside of four or five of them, so it worked well. Then it was just a case of picking people off one by one. To come from the back of the grid to sixth with full ballast is pretty good and I’m really pleased with that. There’s not a lot more I could have done really. I’ve just had a chat with Yvan Muller and we both really enjoyed racing against each other in that race. To be honest it happens a lot that Yvan and I have great races together, it’s just with all the bad press about our relationship no one reports that. It’s nice to have a good race with someone that you know how they drive and vice versa. He saw where I was quick and nicked a couple of my little lines and found a bit of space and I nicked a couple of his lines and it’s really great to be able to do that. “All in all we’ve had a good weekend. We’ve had good pace in the car and good balance. We’ll have to wait and see what happens at Brands Hatch but it’s been a great result for the team. The lads have worked really hard so it’s good to reward them with some pots and pans.” James said : “It’s been a really good weekend. I started it by topping the times in the first free practice session which is the first time I’ve ever done that. Then I had my best BTCC qualifying session of the year to secure fourth. The car was magnificent in the first race, the best it’s been all year, and I was able to battle through to second. I even overtook Yvan Muller cleanly and it felt really good. It’s nice to pick another bit of silverware up and be up on the podium with Jason. It’s also very nice to beat Jason - I’m not going to hide that. The second race was difficult; I had a lot of weight on board which made the car very hard to drive. I dropped back through the field and then Luke accidentally tapped me off into the gravel. It was just one of those things and I decided to drop back and go for a better grid position in the final race. In the third race the balance of the car had gone and it was just like driving a rally car. It was seriously hard work and it really took it out of me as I was constantly correcting the car. I’ve shown this weekend that when the car’s right I can do the business and I don’t think anyone can doubt that.” Luke said : “I struggled during qualifying this weekend so I was really pleased to take a sixth place finish in the first race. From then on things got better and better and I managed to take a win in the second race. It’s a win that doesn’t feel as good because I was awarded it due to Jason being excluded; it’s not the same as crossing the line in first, but at the end of the day a win’s a win and I did give it everything in that race. The third race was when it all went wrong. I let Jason get past me as he’s really good at working his way through the field and so I slotted in behind him to try and get further up the pack with him. Then all of a sudden out of nowhere someone smacked me up the back and wrecked my rear bumper totaling the back of my car. I had to come into the pits as my rear wheel was shredded. The team changed the tyre and I went back out for a couple of laps but the car was undriveable so I retired. I wanted a good final race and I think it could have been as I’m pretty sure I could have got the car into the top six. But I’m happy - I’ve had a win this weekend, I’ve got a lot more confidence and the car seems really good. It’s great for SEAT as the whole team have worked so hard.” 2005 BTCC points (after Round 27) Drivers’ 1.Matt Neal….291pts 2.Yvan Muller….261pts 3.Dan Eaves….238pts 4.

    ASI va la cosa. Estambul se rinde a Alfa Las dos carreras del GP de Estambul del Mundial de la FIA WTCC han tenido un solo color: el rojo de Alfa Romeo. Las dos carreras han sido ganadas por los coches italianos y Giovanardi y Tarquini se han repartido los triunfos. CARRERA 1: Dominio de Alfa La firma italiana ha sido la dominadora de la primera carrera del Mundial de la FIA GT en Estambul. Fabrizio Giovanardi ha logrado su cuarta victoria de la temporada por delante de su compañero de equipo, James Thompson. La tercera plaza fue para el BMW de Andy Priaulx justo por delante de Antonio Garcia. Y eso que el alfa de Tarquini y el de Farfus destrozaron las ruedas delanteras en el último giro cuando marchaban tercero y cuarto. Lo mismo le ha sucedido a Jordi Gené con su SEAT. CARRERA 2: Alfa repite Al igual que sucediera en la primera carrera, Alfa Romeo también lograba el doblete en la segunda de las carrera de Estambul. El triunfo ha sido para Gabriele Tarquini, que sumaba su segunda Victoria de la temporada sobre su compañero de equipo Augusto Farfus. La tercera plaza la ha logrado el italiano de BMW, Alessandro Zanardi. El británico Andy Priaulx robaba el liderato del mundial a su compañero de equipo en BMW Dirk Müller. En esta carrera, ni Jordi Gené ni Antonio García han acabado Race 1 - GIOVANARDI-THOMPSON-PRIAULX What looked set to be an Alfa 1-2-3-4 from lights to flag was not to be, when on the last lap both Tarquini and Farfus suffered front right tyre failures. The former was lying 2nd behind the eventual race winner Fabrizio Giovanardi, when he went wide and continued at a slow pace to cross the line in 7th. Farfus’ problem was far more evident as parts of his tyres came flying off with the remaining rubber ripping the bodywork. But the Brazilian determinedly finished the race in 8th to begin Race 2 from pole. With two of the Alfas out, BMW man Andy Priaulx was left to pick up the final podium position behind Thompson. ? At the start Priaulx squeezed between the SEAT cars of Ortelli and Terting to jump up to 5th. Within a matter of seconds Ortelli went wide at a corner and clashed with Terting as he re-joined the track, both retired to the pits later in the race. Dirk Müller’s cars was also involved and damaged. A further incident occurred during the first lap as Hennerici and Larini made contact collecting Jörg Müller on the way. On lap two, García overtook Gené to claim 7th and Zanardi overtook Dirk Müller for 9th. Meanwhile, the four Alfas were pulling away with Giovanardi 2nd until lap 3 when he overtook Tarquini for the lead. After making fantastic progress at the opening stages, Coronel came from the back of the grid to challenge Menu for 11th spot. However the Dutchman retired with an engine failure, just like his Turkish team-mate Kizilirmak. Ahead of them, García mounted another attack on a SEAT, overtaking Rydell for 6th. Over the next two laps García continued his rapid pace and eventually got past Priaulx for 5th. However, Priaulx reclaimed the position after García on the last lap. ? Lap 9 saw Menu battling with Rosenblad. The Chevrolet man took 11th from the Swede and eventually finished 10th as Gené’s SEAT León was the third car that suffered a tyre failure and dropped from 8th to 17th in the closing seconds. All was not lost for Rosenblad however as 11th was good enough for him to claim the independent win. Race 2 - ZANARDI ON THE PODIUM AGAIN Alfa Romeo encored in the second race as they achieved another 1-2 result. This time however it was Gabriele Tarquini who took victory, with Farfus just 0.263 of a second behind. Zanardi made his second podium appearance of the season as he fought off challenges and maintained 3rd position for the entire race. ?Funke’s Ford and the two GR Asia of Coronel and Kizilirman did not make the grid after their engine failures in the first race. Farfus began from pole but was overtaken by Tarquini on lap 1. Lap 2 saw Giovanardi pass Thompson for 6th and Dirk Müller overtook Menu for 9th. Cirò then challenged for 9th spot but Menu kept his ground. ? Rydell and García were racing side by side and it was not long before the SEAT driver lost 4th position. On lap 3, both García and Giovanardi passed him. Shortly afterwards, Giovanardi attempted to overtake Zanardi and García went round the outside of the pair. Contact ensued, sending García spinning off the track where he remained, while Giovanardi managed to continue. Dirk overtook Priaulx on lap 4 with the Briton subsequently loosing positions to Rydell and Menu to finish 9th and just out of the points. At one stage the racing was so close for the final point position, Rydell’s SEAT, Menu’s Chevrolet and Priaulx’s BMW were within one second of each other. It was eventually Menu who finished 8th with Rydell 0.129 of a second ahead.? In lap 5 Giovanardi regained the positions he had lost in the incident with García, but not for long. Rydell was overtaken by Dirk who continued his fight through the field and followed Thompson as they passed Giovanardi, demoting him back to 6th. Dirk finished the race in 5th while Rydell headed the SEAT Sport drivers with a 7th place finish. ? Farfus and Tarquini, who had broken away from the rest of the field had their own battle on the final lap as Farfus took the lead for a matter of second’s before his team-mate pulled back ahead coming into the home straight and secured his second victory of the season.? Cirò had lead the independent category for most of the race and was in a brilliant 10th position when he was hit by Terting on the last lap. This caused him to spin and lose four places while Hennerici went on to claim the Independent win finishing 11th overall. Race Quotes Fabrizio GIOVANARDI – 1st in Race 1 and 6th in Race 2? “Our car was great this weekend and we did a good job in qualifying which put us in a fantastic position. Starting from 8th on the grid in Race 2 is always difficult because you have so many cars to overtake. I tried to overtake Zanardi and did not see García. The braking was very difficult with three cars entering the corner and I just touched Antonio (García) but I think it was a normal race incident. The title fight is really getting exciting. Four points is not a lot.”? Gabriele TARQUINI – 7th in Race 1 and 1st in Race 2? “Race 1 was very unlucky for me because if it were not for the tyre failure I could have scored more points and helped Giovanardi in his fight for the title. It was a shame but I am happy the same problem did not occur in Race 2. The circumstances were different because Farfus and I had a gap from the others so I was not fighting as hard as I was in race 1.”? James THOMPSON – 2nd in Race 1 and 4th in Race 2? “It would have been such a fantastic result if we had managed a 1-2-3-4 in the first race; for the team and the championship. The car was brilliant in the second race after we made a few quick changes. I thought I could catch Alex (Zanardi) at the end but picked up a little vibration so decided to ease off slightly in order to avoid a puncture and finish the race.” ? Augusto FARFUS – 8th in Race 1 and 2nd in Race 2? “As a whole, this weekend was good for the team. It was unlucky what happened to me and Gabriele (Tarquini) in the last lap of Race 1 but starting on pole for Race 2 made it quite easy to manage and we did a good job.”? Alessandro ZANARDI – 6th in Race 1 and 3rd in Race 2? “Today I was fortunate in Race 2 which got me on the podium again whereas my team-mate García was not so lucky and I think he was fast enough to go out there and win the race.”? Andy PRIAULX – 3rd in Race 1 and 9th in Race 2? “I may be in the lead for the Championship but I am a bit disappointed in general because Race 2 was disastrous for me. My balance hadn’t really felt right all weekend and so I asked the team to make a big change in between the races because I was desperate. It turned out to be the wrong decision.”? Carl ROSENBLAD – 11th in Race 1 and 18th in Race 2? “I have led races five or six times this season so now I am happy and proud to get this win. We have struggled to pull everything together so far but today I feel as though I am in the positions I should be. I wanted a double victory but in Race 2 I broke my steering which was unlucky.”? Marc HENNERICI – 13th in Race 1 and 11th in Race 2? “I’m so happy to have achieved a win because I had just one set of new tyres left at the start of Race 1 and I was involved in the crash with Larini and Jörg Müller. So when I lined up for Race 2 I didn’t think it would be possible to win. I was a lucky man today and am looking forward to the next races where I hope to secure the championship win.”
