  • Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe: Rossel and Di Folco Survive Penalty for Nürburgring Win
    Media Information Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe: Rossel and Di Folco survive penalty for Nürburgring win Sant’Agata Bolognese/Nürburg, 6 September 2020 - Target Racing’s Kevin Rossel and Alberto di Folco produced a calculated drive to claim their first Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe victory in the second race of the weekend at the Nürburgring. Starting third on the grid following Friday’s second qualifying session, di Folco made a superb start to grab second from Oregon Team’s Dorian Boccolacci as the field funnelled through Turn 1 for the first time. Kevin Rossel (Target Racing) said: “It was a really good, but also quite difficult race. The tyres were pretty much finished by the end, so it was a case of managing them and the gap we had to second place. We had a strategy for the start of the race, which was basically to get second at the first corner. Alberto made a really good overtake so that kind of set us up nicely for my stint.” Team-mate Alberto di Folco added: "Our car was very fast. We had a perfect strategy, and in my driving stint, I tried to keep the gap over my pursuers. After the pit-stop Kevin did a great job." Pole-sitter Loris Spinelli (Van der Horst Motorsport) led the initial stages, building a five-second advantage over di Folco before the pit-stop window opened 20 minutes into the 50-minute race. While di Folco made progress at the start, Leipert Motorsport’s Marcus Påverud fell back one position to fifth on the opening lap, dropping behind Target Racing’s Miloš Pavlović.

  • Racing Towards a Sustainable Future a Review of the Sustainability Performance of International Racing Circuits
    RACING TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE A REVIEW OF THE SUSTAINABILITY PERFORMANCE OF INTERNATIONAL RACING CIRCUITS Edition June 2021 Racing towards a sustainable future FOREWORD I have been involved with the safety and sustainability of racing tracks for many years now, as a driver, GPDA Chairman and a circuit designer. And while I would argue that big improvements have been made in terms of safety, I also know that there is a long way to go in terms of fully embracing sustainability for racing tracks around the globe. Though circuits have started to change the way in which they approach sustainability, more guidance on what sustainability means and how a circuit can be sustainable are needed. This is why I welcome this new research and the data-driven proposal of the Sustainable Circuits Index™, highlighting indicators from the wider sustainability and sport ecosystem, encouraging best practice and calling attention to the importance of transparent reporting and independent validation. Motorsport has historically been defined by its commitment to innovation and excellence through competition. It’s now critically important for our sport to demonstrate its commitment to sustainability through collaboration. This paper highlights the new metrics for success in this global effort and provides circuits with the tools they need to help win the race for our planet, a race which we can only win together. Alexander Wurz Former F1 Driver, GPDA Chairman, and Consultant on Road Safety and Circuit Design Sustainability is one of the key issues of today’s society as confirmed by the increasing attention of governments, media, academics, and industry.

Mit umso ehrgeizigeren Zielen geht Audi Sport in die Saison 2016: Die Marke mit der roten Raute hat die Titel in der Fahrer-, Hersteller- und Teamwertung fest im Visier. „Wir hatten im vergangenen Jahr das schnellste Auto“, sagt Dieter Gass, Leiter DTM bei Audi Sport. „In zehn der 18 Rennen hatten wir die Nase vorn und haben damit mehr Rennen gewonnen als unsere beiden Wettbewerber zusammen. Es war schmerzhaft, dass wir am Ende keinen der drei Titel holen konnten. Das wollen wir 2016 ändern.“ Die Technik der DTM-Renntourenwagen ist per Reglement „eingefroren“, deshalb ist der Audi RS 5 DTM gegenüber dem Vorjahr technisch unverändert. Dennoch haben die Ingenieure von Audi Sport am Auto weiter gearbeitet.
