FIA GT Race Algarve - Sept 19-20

The359 · 19 Sep 2009, 08:55 (Ref:2543762)

Didn't see any discussion, free practice just began. Shared weekend with the GP2 Series finale.

Schedule

Entry List

GT1Live.tv

K plus K are skipping this event, partially due to their disqualification at Hungary. They claim they're doing testing elsewhere. Matech is also out to do further testing of the 2010 Ford GT.

The Luc Alphand entry is also a no-show, their one remaining chassis is too damaged after the recent FFSA GT and LMS Silverstone races. Xavier Maassen has moved to the Sangari Corvette to serve as a 3rd driver.

The Full Speed Saleen busted an oil pump in free practice and have no spare parts, so they've now withdrawn. That means no Saleens and only 7 GT1s for the rest of the weekend!

is that right?!?!? Sangari did the pole?!?!?!?

Wasn't the result of the Prospeed Oscherleben Appeal supposed to be this week? Anyone know what happened?

The359 · 19 Sep 2009, 21:27 (Ref:2544051)

Yes, it was supposed to, but I could not find a press release on the FIA website. I'd assume they lost the appeal because the GT1 Live commentators mentioned that Collard/Westbrook were still two points behind the AF Corse guys.

The Protest is about the 61's(Edwards/Holzer) DQ at Oscherslaben, the outcome will not effect The gap between 60 and 50.

But i cant see the DQ standing as it was due to the steel liners.

The359 · 19 Sep 2009, 22:55 (Ref:2544079)

Ah yes, my bad. It would help them in the team points though, they trail AF Corse by 1. But I too agree that it's not an appeal they're likely to win.

No i mean i cant see them loosing the appeal, if they do then the FIA needs to DQ all the Porsche's as they all had the steel liners.

It would not be the first team the FIA has penalized one team for something that several teams were doing, based solely on which cars' results were protested.

Ain't that the truth!!

So we have an all Corvette front row with Sangari and Ruffier 2nd for SRT and the Pecom Ferrari on pole in GT2. Hoping for a Corvette win! With seven GT1 entries one team makes up nearly half the class............

Well i've got Sean Edwards to text Rudi Penders so ill let ya know tomorrow if they know yet.

The359 · 20 Sep 2009, 00:26 (Ref:2544115)

This is the initial press release about the appeal. Decision expected on the afternoon of Sept. 18. So they should know by now.

Purist · 20 Sep 2009, 05:28 (Ref:2544149)

I think most everything else is on hold while this Renault race-fixing mess is being dealt with. The hearing on that matter is Monday.

The359 · 20 Sep 2009, 06:05 (Ref:2544151)

Renault's matter is the World Motor Sport Council, not the International Court of Appeals. Two totally different divisions of the FIA.

The359 · 20 Sep 2009, 09:27 (Ref:2544199)

Full Speed appears to be back, they're setting some laps in Warm-Up.

helgi · 20 Sep 2009, 13:02 (Ref:2544285)

What's wrong there? Start is delayed.

The359 · 20 Sep 2009, 13:17 (Ref:2544290)

GP2 race had an accident at the start and was red flagged, so FIA GT was delayed 10 minutes.

helgi · 20 Sep 2009, 13:22 (Ref:2544294)

Wow. Rather windy.

NightStalk3r · 20 Sep 2009, 13:31 (Ref:2544300)

Dirty ****s at AF Corse.

airbusA346 · 20 Sep 2009, 13:32 (Ref:2544302)

Collard got spun around by a Ferrari.

Tom.

Live Timing is very strange.

The359 · 20 Sep 2009, 13:48 (Ref:2544309)

Yes, T&S is just flat out wrong. I haven't seen a replay of Collard's loop, didn't see if he was touched. But PK, Sangari, and CRS all have had mistakes all on their own.

byronb · 20 Sep 2009, 13:50 (Ref:2544310)

Live timing was first set to fastest lap, thats why the order was strange as it was the order of lap times instead of track position, now it's set to track position.

Though, what happend to Kumpen? He took 2nd, then spun out, but after that he wasn't to far away from the Maserati's, and now he is like 16 seconds behind? Did he spin yet again?

The359 · 20 Sep 2009, 13:50 (Ref:2544311)

Man, balsy but silly move by Maassen...
