Grand Prix De L'age D'or, Launch of the Series By GRAND PRIX DE L’AGE D’OR, LAUNCH OF THE SERIES BY PETER AUTO! Dijon – It was high time for drivers, clubs and fans to head back to the track! The Grand Prix de l'Age d'Or marked the start of the series by Peter Auto. Yet again the meeting attracted a quality field with 230 cars entered for the races, and as for the collectors belonging to the makes’ clubs they arrived en masse with over 560 cars entered for the weekend. It felt really great to be able tao gather together again and share our passion! SUMMARY OF THE RACES Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th THE GREATEST’S TROPHY 40 minutes It was just after 9:30 when the cars in the The Greatest’s Trophy grid set off for the first race of the meeting in pouring rain. Leading the pack was the #68 Bizzarrini 5300 GT driven by Dirk and Leon Ebeling followed by Vincent Gaye’s Ferrari 275 GTB/C, #7. The #45 Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ in the hands of Carlo Vögele started in sixth place on the grid and made a superb comeback up through the field: With fewer than two minutes racing completed he shot past the #44 Ferrari 250 GT SWB/C and slotted into third place. Of course, Vögele was aiming for the topmost step of the podium, but this was without counting on the tenacity of Gaye in his #7 Ferrari 275 © PhotoClassicRacing GTB/C who started from pole. But at almost half-distance Gaye made a mistake and spun, which cost him 12 seconds. This error handed the lead to the #68 Bizzarrini 5300 GT, which dominated the race from then on. With 11 minutes to go to the chequered flag Gaye was in fourth place having almost made up for his driving mistake – but surprise, surprise, he committed another faux pas and lost 14 seconds! When the chequered flag fell victory went to Dirk and Leon Ebling in their #68 Bizzarrini after an excellent performance. Sunday’s race gave Vincent Gaye and his #7 Ferrari 275 GTB/C the opportunity to take his revenge on the previous day’s setback. He led this grid, but was under constant pressure from Christian Bouriez in the #46 Bizzarrini 5300 GT who was never more than a few seconds behind Gaye in #7. The pit stop strategy went against the Ferrari and let the #46 Bizzarrini take the lead. But for how long? Only two seconds separated the two men. Vincent Gaye in#7 again got it all wrong in the Villeroy double right-hander, which effectively ended the battle that lasted for more than 35 minutes, and handed victory to Bouriez in the #46 Bizzarrini. RESULTS Saturday 5th Sunday 6th SIXTIES’ ENDURANCE 2 hours The second day of the Grand Prix de l'Age d'Or ended with the Sixties’ Endurance race. The track marshals waved the green flag unleashing the cars for a 120-minute sprint led by Guillaume Mahé in his #49 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupé who set the pace followed by Christophe Van Riet in the #16 Shelby Cobra 289 and Ralf Kelleners in another Shelby Cobra 289, # 369. Just as Van Riet was closing the gap to Mahé race control announced a Full Course Yellow because of an off by the #181 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe driven by Vincent Neurrisse and Bertrand Rouchaud. The © Julien Hergault / Peter Auto pause lasted just a few minutes and Van Riet in #16 jumped Mahé in #43 on the restart to take the lead. But not for long as the #43 Cobra Daytona Coupe wasn’t giving up and got back in front pretty quickly. The two drivers went at it hammer and tongs. The slightest driving error could cost them dear. A quarter way though the race rain began to fall again and Van Riet was caught out by the change in grip and left the track dropping him back to fourth. Henri Moser in #31 took to the wet conditions like a duck to water and snatched the lead hotly pursued by Maxime Guenat in #51. But with just under a minute to go to the opening of the pit stop window the leader came in losing his first place in the process. The reason? A fuel feed problem due to a pipe that was torn off, which obliged Moser in #31 to stop. This mechanical glitch handed the lead to the #51 Cobra driven by Maxime Guenat. As the pit stops ended the drivers had swapped seats. In the Equipe Europe camp it was almost like a game of musical chairs as Guillaume Mahé got behind the wheel of the leading #51 Cobra while his father Yvan Mahé climbed into #49. After 1h 26m racing Damien Kohler, who had taken over from Van Riet in #16, was only 27 seconds behind the leading Shelby Cobra, #51. The chequered flag fell and it would be no exaggeration to say that it was an enthralling race! The battle for the top places never let up and the laurels went to the Equipe Europe which, for the first time, had three cars on the podium! RESULT CLASSIC ENDURANCE RACING II 1 hour The fog was lifting on the Dijon-Prenois circuit as the cars in the Classic Endurance Racing II grid lined up for the start. Would Yves Scemama on pole in the #52 TOJ SC304 repeat his 2020 October victory? Answer in 60 minutes. In CER II, a flying start was given and the TOJ SC304 romped away to put it mildly! But Philippe Scemama in the #600 Lola T600 fought back and the two brothers were locked in battle out on the track. Not far behind was Maxime Guenat also in a Lola, #50, who posed a real threat and after two laps the #50 T600 had clawed its way up into second place. His aim was clear, to knock Yves Scemama, winner of this race at © PhotoClassicRacing the last two meetings (Estoril Classics 2020 – Dix Mille Tours 2020) off his pedestal. Scemama in #52 had to watch his lines as the #50 Lola T600 was glued to his gearbox with only 0.461 seconds separating the two cars. On lap 14, the outcome was decided in the Villeroy double right-hander as Maxime Guenat in his Lola sliced past the #52 TOJ SC304 and the leadership changed hands. It was all over as the race entered its final quarter-of-an-hour. Guenat was in front and continued to pull away from the #52 TOJ. His clean, precise driving style helped him to emerge victorious. RESULT FIFTIES’ LEGENDS 45 minutes Then it was time for the Fifties’ Legends grid, the latest in the series by Peter Auto, to take to the track. On the front row were Eugène Deleplanque in his #7 TVR Grantura Mk III and Romain Guerardelle in the #34 MG B who had battled for first place in qualifying the previous day. The TVR shot away and quickly opened up a comfortable lead. The MG B wasn’t all that far back, but glued to its gearbox was David Barrere in his Mini Cooper S (#25) who had started in sixth place. Other cars were less fortunate, in particular the #23 Ferrari 250 Mille Miglia which ground to a halt after just one lap © PhotoClassicRacing with white smoke pouring from the bonnet, certainly because of a blown cylinder head gasket. In the race itself, Barrere in #25 was now in second place in front of Guerardelle’s MG B, which was close behind. The field came into corner number four, the La Bretelle left-hander, and the MG B and Philippe Lecardonnel in his #98 Mini Cooper S collided but without damage although it dropped Guerardelle down the timesheets. While his car didn’t show any tell-tale scars his lap times suffered and he was now back in sixth place. In the meantime, Deleplanque in his TVR Grantura Mk III continued to lead the dance with 46 seconds in hand over the other competitors. And just when Barrere in his Mini Cooper S was about to cross the finishing line disaster struck. His car stopped under the Avia footbridge! He was only a few metres from the chequered flag. Thus, Louis Zurstrassen in his #39 Elva Mk V inherited the second step of the podium. RESULT GROUP C RACING 45 minutes Christophe d’Ansembourg in his #17 Jaguar XJR 14 led the field away at the start of the Group C Racing event. It marked the return of these cars to the Dijon-Prenois circuit on which they hadn’t raced for four years. The Jaguar XJR 14 held on to its position and behind it the cars on the second row, Erwin France in the #27 Nissan R90 CK and Tony Sinclair’s #85 Spice, passed and repassed each other. They gave no quarter. Suddenly the situation was turned on its head when the #17 Jaguar XJR 14 stopped because of a transmission problem. Pierre-Alain France in the #27 Nissan R90 inherited the lead. The second race of the day saw the return of the © PhotoClassicRacing Jaguar XJR 14 which, thanks to the efficiency of the mechanics, was back on the grid after having a universal joint repaired. The duel with the Nissan could begin again. But with barely a lap covered Christophe d’Ansembourg stopped again in the La Bretelle left-hander ending what was a difficult weekend for the driver and his car. Battle now raged between the #90 Porsche 962 C, the #85 Spice SE90 and the #27 Nissan R90 CK.

  • 10 Years of BMW F1 Engines Abstract
    - 1 - Prof. Dr.-Ing. Mario Theissen, Dipl.-Ing. Markus Duesmann, Dipl.-Ing. Jan Hartmann, Dipl.-Ing. Matthias Klietz, Dipl.-Ing. Ulrich Schulz BMW Group, Munich 10 Years of BMW F1 Engines Abstract BMW engines gave the company a presence in Formula One from 2000 to 2009. The overall project can be broken down into a preparatory phase, its years as an engine supplier to the Williams team, and a period competing under the banner of its own BMW Sauber F1 Team. The conception, design and deployment of the engines were defined by the Formula One regulations, which were subject to change virtually every year. Reducing costs was the principal aim of these revisions. Development expenditure was scaled down gradually as a result of the technical restrictions imposed on the teams and finally through homologation and a freeze on development. Engine build costs were limited by the increased mileage required of each engine and the restrictions on testing. A lower number of engines were therefore required for each season. A second aim, reduced engine output, was achieved with the switch from 3.0-litre V10 engines to 2.4-litre V8s for the 2006 season. In the early years of its involvement in F1, BMW developed and built a new engine for each season amid a high-pressure competitive environment. This process saw rapid improvements made in engine output and weight, and the BMW powerplant soon attained benchmark status in F1. In recent years, development work focused on raising mileage capability and reliability without changing the engine concept itself. The P86/9 of the 2009 season achieved the same engine output, despite a 20% reduction in displacement, of the E41/4 introduced at the beginning of the 2000 season.
