Rengasrikko Pilasi Wimanin Kisan Daytonassa 2014-08-25 08:48 EEST Rengasrikko pilasi Wimanin kisan Daytonassa Helsinki 25.8.2014 - Amerikan Global Rallycross (GRC) –sarjan suomalaiskuljettaja Joni Wimanin kilpailuviikonloppu legendaarisella Daytonan moottoriradalla Floridassa oli kaksijakoinen. Nuori suomalaiskuljettaja hallitsi Ford Fiestallaan joukon nopeimpana kilpailun aika-ajoa ja hurja vire jatkui myös jokaisessa kolmessa alkuerässä, joista tuloksena oli yhtä monta voittoa. Wimanin matka kohti kauden ensimmäistä voittoa mutkistui kuitenkin ennen päälähtöä edeltäneessä semifinaalissa. - Radan alkuosuudelle oli rakennettu kaksi tiukkaa neulansilmämutkaa peräjälkeen. Semifinaalissa rata oli jo todella liukas. Sain hyvä startin, mutta ensimmäisiin mutkiin ajaessa auto lähti rajuun liukuun, menin tilanteesta vähän paniikkiin, missasin vaihteen ja auto sammui mutkaan. - Kun moottorissa oli polttoaineen ja turbon pakkosyöttö päällä niin sen uudelleenkäynnistämiseen meni niin paljon aikaa, että kaikki muut pääsivät kauas karkuun. Jouduin keräilyerään, jonka kautta sain ajettua itseni vielä A- finaalin lähtöruutuun kahdeksan. Daytonan kahdeksan kierroksen mittaisessa finaalilähdössä Wiman nousi nopeasti kohti kärkeä. Kahden ajetun kierroksen jälkeen 20-vuotias suomalaiskuljettaja ajoi jo kolmantena. - Hetken aikaa finaali näytti todella hyvältä. Nousin ensimmäisen kierroksen aikana neljänneksi ja kävin jo kolmantena ja jokeri-lenkki oli ajamatta kunnes ahtaassa kurvissa joku törmäsi autoni vasempaan takakulmaan ja takarengas tyhjeni. Se oli sitten siinä. Kolmella ehjällä renkaalla sinnittelin finaalin maaliin, Wiman summasi viikonloppuaan. Tulos oli loistavien aika-ajojen ja alkuerävoittojen jälkeen suomalaiskuljettajalle iso pettymys. - Voittoon olisi ollut hyvät mahdollisuudet, mutta moottorin sammuttaminen pilasi kisan. Se oli ihan oma moka. Onnekseni sarjan kärkikuskit myös epäonnistuivat täällä. Sain Piquet Jr:a hieman kiinni, eikä pisteiden kolmas sija ole enää kuin kahden pisteen päässä, sarjassa neljäntenä ajava Wiman muistutti. GRC-sarja muuttaa elo-syyskuun taitteessa itärannikolta länsirannikolle. Sarja jatkuu neljän viikon kuluttua 19.-20. syyskuuta Los Angelesissa, jolloin ohjelmassa on perättäisinä päivinä ajettavat kaksi mestaruusosakilpailua.

  • News Release 20.09.15 Petter's Best in Barcelona Norwegian Superstar
    News release 20.09.15 Petter’s best in Barcelona Norwegian superstar Petter Solberg celebrated victory at the maiden World RX of Barcelona at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya today (Sunday). Petter’s no stranger to winning, but it’s been a pretty lean summer in terms of time on the top step for the two-time FIA World Champion. Which is why he was so pleased to land a first victory since World RX of Great Britain at Lydden Hill in May. That and the fact he didn’t let his son Oliver down… Solberg, who is 35 points clear at the top of the World RX table with three rounds remaining this season, said: “We have fought hard for this win the whole weekend. We’ve run a lot of different set-ups on the car – we had to really work at it to catch Peugeot. All the time, the 208 was taking tenths of seconds, but eventually the brilliant PSRX engineers worked it out. “My son won a crosskart race in Sweden today; I got the message by telephone and he was joking and being quite confident and cocky in telling me I couldn’t let the family down – I actually really felt the pressure from that! “In the end, I could call him back and be quite cocky back with him. I liked that! “Everything was going quite well from the start, but in the third heat, I touched the wall on the left side – there was loads of dust in the car and I really couldn’t see so well.

  • Volkswagens Johan Kristoffersson Vill Säkra Bronsmedaljen När Rallycross-VM Avslutas I Argentina
    Volkswagens Johan Kristoffersson vill säkra bronsmedaljen när rallycross-VM avslutas i Argentina På söndag, 29 november, avslutas rallycross-VM 2016. Volkswagen skickar en spännande kvartett till finalen i Argentina. Förutom medaljjagande Johan Kristoffersson och erfarne Toomas Heikkinen kommer Ole Christian Veiby och Thomas Bryntesson att representera märket och de svenska teamen i Sydamerika. Johan Kristoffersson är trea i förar-VM inför avslutningen. Volkswagen Team Sweden-föraren har levererat på hög nivå i sin VW Polo i de tre senaste deltävlingarna. Han var tvåa i Spanien, trea i Turkiet och tvåa på nytt i Italien. Kristoffersson har 228 poäng, 13 fler är fjärdeplacerade norrmannen Andreas Bakkerud. – Mitt fokus är att säkra bronsmedaljen i mästerskapet vilket innebär att jag inte kommer att ta några onödiga risker. Samtidigt skulle det vara kul att få avsluta på topp. Jag vann premiären i Portugal och att få krydda vår fina höstsvit med en seger i Argentina skulle vara en höjdare, säger Kristoffersson, som får EM-trean i Supercar, Ole Christian Veiby, med sig på resan till Sydamerika. Den unge norrmannen ersätter landsmannen Tord Linnerud som tvingats stå över på grund av skada. – Jag trodde att jag avslutade rallycrossäsongen när jag vann EM-deltävlingen i Italien, men nu får jag sätta punkt med VM-delseger i Argentina i stället, säger Veiby och ler. Den unge gutten har hög kapacitet. EM-bronset i Supercar är ett bevis på det. Semifinalplatsen i den svenska VM-deltävlingen i somras ett annat. I Argentina kör Veiby i första hand för att hjälpa Kristoffersson i hans jakt på bronset, men Volkswagen Team Sweden har dessutom en liten medaljchans även i teammästerskapet.

  • Rallycross of Great Britain
    21.05.2014 WORLD RX AND 38 SUPERCARS GEAR UP FOR GREAT BRITAIN Round 2 – Rallycross of Great Britain Round two of the FIA World Rallycross Championship will take place at Lydden Hill this weekend as a record entry of 38 Supercars descend on the Kent-based race circuit. Lydden Hill also marks the opening round of the five-round FIA European Rallycross Championship (Euro RX), of which there are 23 drivers eligible to score points. Lydden Hill is steeped in rallycross history: the sport’s inaugural race was staged at the track back in 1967. This week a new race tower will be revealed at Lydden Hill named after Arthur Debenham, known as the ‘voice of rallycross’. Both Debenham and Reed will be present at Lydden Hill as VIP guests over the weekend. After winning the World RX season-opener in Portugal earlier this month, Petter “Hollywood” Solberg will be eager to continue his run of good form but will face stiff competition from the likes of wildcard entry Tanner Foust – a two-time Formula Drift Champion and multiple X Games medallist – who has a strong track record in Britain. “I have two wins at the Lydden Hill Race Circuit, and there’s something special about going for a hat- trick,” explained Foust, who is also a presenter on the US-based version of Top Gear. “I’ve raced rally, sports cars, off-road … and rallycross has it all: I love the combination of dirt, asphalt, jumps and door- to-door racing. It's like a real-life video game and there’s nothing else like it.
