El asfalto alcanzó los 44° C tanto el sábado como el domingo. Kenny Noyes, el piloto del equipo Jack & Jones, marcó la mejor vuelta en la clasificación y sus 1’39.234 le dieron la pole por delante de Yuki Takahashi del Tech3 (+0.031), y de Alex Debón del Aerosport de Castelló-Ajo (+0.086). Jules Cluzel, del Forward Racing, Fonsi Nieto, del Holiday Gym G22 y Sergio Gadea, del Tenerife 40 Pons, coparon las tres posiciones siguientes. Con esta parrilla de salida, habrá seis chasis diferentes defendiendo los seis primeros puestos. La carrera, a 26 vueltas, comenzó con una serie de incidentes que dejó fuera de carrera al líder del campeonato Shoya Tomizawa, piloto de Technomag CIP, a Alex de Angelis del RSM Team Scot, y al propio Noyes, junto con 7 pilotos más. Fue Jules Cluzel quien marcó la vuelta rápida en el tercer giro, para terminar arrebatándole la primera posición a Toni Elías, para deleite del respetable. Cluzel se salió y Elías volvió a ponerse en cabeza. A partir de ahí, dominó la carrera y cruzó la meta por delante de Julián Simón, del Mapfre Aspar, y de Simone Corsi del JIR. “Ha sido una carrera estupenda”, afirmó Elías. “Me caí durante la clasificación y mi equipo hizo un trabajo fantástico para poner la moto a punto para la carrera. He conseguido mantener un ritmo rápido y constante y he logrado más o menos los mismos tiempos en las 26 vueltas de la carrera”. “Seguimos viendo un rendimiento muy constante de los 14 chasis que conforman la parrilla de Moto2”, comentó Paul Medawar, director de Moto2 de Dunlop. “El fuerte calor ha motivado que todos los pilotos opten por un neumático trasero blando. Todo el mundo ha hecho tiempos muy constantes y Simone Corsi ha logrado su mejor tiempo en la última vuelta, mientras luchaba por un cajón del podio”. DESCARGAR IMAGEN GP DE ITALIA MUGELLO MOTO 2 Fecha: 06/06/2010 Nombre del circuito: Mugello Longitud del circuito: 5.245 m Temp. del asfalto: 42°C / Temp. ambiente: 30°C Espectadores 76.814 ESPECIFICACIONES DE NEUMÁTICOS PARA LA CARRERA: Delantero: B - Medio, Multi-Tread E - Duro, Single-Tread Trasero: B - Medio-Blando C - Medio Andrea Iannone, piloto del equipo Fimmco Speed Up, dio un golpe de autoridad en la sesión de clasificación y superaba en 7 décimas de segundo a todos los demás hasta que Toni Elías, del Gresini, consiguió ponerse a sólo 3 décimas en la última vuelta de la sesión. Alex De Angelis, del RSM Team Scot, se clasificó en tercera posición a 0,624 segundos de Iannone. A partir de ahí, había 25 pilotos a menos de 1 segundo del tiempo de De Angelis. La carrera quedó marcada por el dominio de Iannone, que durante las 7 primeras vueltas sacó casi 1 segundo por vuelta a los demás pilotos. El italiano se escapó en solitario y pasó bajo la bandera a cuadros a 2,764 segundos del siguiente clasificado. Además del triunfo de Iannone, los 77.000 apasionados italianos que abarrotaban las colinas de la Toscana disfrutando del sol y de los 30 grados de temperatura presenciaron un duelo precioso. El segundo puesto cambió 11 veces de manos en el transcurso de las 21 vueltas de las que constaba la carrera. El grupo perseguidor formado por Elías, Sergio Gadea (Tenerife Pons), Simone Corsi (JIR), Thomas Luthi (Interwetten) y Shoya Tomizawa (Technomag) batalló en todas las curvas hasta que Gadea logró imponerse a Corsi (que había salido desde el 26º lugar en una parrilla de 41 pilotos) en la última recta para cruzar la línea de meta en segunda posición. Tomizawa entró sexto a 1,602 segundos de diferencia. Iannone se mostró entusiasmado con su primera victoria en Moto2, que además consiguió frente a sus paisanos. “Gracias a que elegí el neumático más blando para la rueda trasera, en las primeras vueltas logré abrirme hueco y colocarme a 5 segundos de los demás. Después, sólo fue cuestión de controlar el ritmo y dejar que el grupo perseguidor pelease por las otras dos plazas del podio”. “Menos 2 pilotos, todos los demás eligieron un neumático delantero duro de compuesto simple. Sin embargo, la elección del neumático trasero dividió a la parrilla. 23 de los 41 corredores optaron por un neumático compuesto medio”, comentó Jeremy Ferguson. “Las dos opciones rindieron muy bien. De hecho, permitieron que varios pilotos rodasen codo con codo hasta el final y marcasen vueltas rápidas dentro del mismo segundo”. Próxima carrera: Gran Premio de Inglaterra, Silverstone 20 Junio DESCARGAR IMAGEN La FIM ha anunciado dos cambios en el reglamento de Moto2: 1. Uso de tapas protectoras en los laterales del motor. MODIFICACIONES EN EL Tras el incidente de Jerez, se ha decidido que las tapas protectoras sean obligatorias: En la categoría de Moto2, las tapas laterales del motor contienen aceite y pueden REGLAMENTO DE MOTO2 entrar en contacto con el asfalto en caso de caída, por lo que tendrán que recubrirse con un segundo protector fabricado con materiales compuestos, tipo fibra de carbono o Kevlar. También se permite el uso de placas y/o barras de aluminio o acero. Dichos protectores deberán estar diseñados para resistir los impactos y la abrasión, y deberán fijarse de forma adecuada y segura. 2. Elección de neumáticos. El reglamento ha cambiado en respuesta a las solicitudes de distintos equipos y ahora refleja el reglamento de la categoría MotoGP. Neumáticos slicks delanteros: 7 en total, a elegir entre: 3 de especificación “A” + 4 de especificación “B” o 4 de especificación “A” + 3 de especificación “B” La elección de la especificación de los neumáticos delanteros será la siguiente: 6 neumáticos, 3 de especificación “A” + 3 de especificación “B”, se asignarán el día antes del comienzo de los entrenamientos oficiales, en virtud del Artículo 2.9.2. 1 neumático se asignará después del primer entrenamiento, a elegir entre: 1 de especificación “A” o 1 de especificación “B” La elección de la especificación de la rueda delantera por parte del piloto deberá comunicarse al proveedor de neumáticos dentro de un plazo máximo de 2 horas después del final de la primera sesión de entrenamiento. Si transcurre el plazo y no se recibe elección de especificación alguna, se asignará automáticamente 1 neumático de especificación “A”.

El equipo francés ascendió un peldaño más en el podio y superó el éxito cosechado en 2009, cuando finalizó en tercera posición. El buen resultado de Oak Racing no fue el único éxito que consiguió Dunlop en LMP2, ya que tres de los cuatro primeros clasificados rodaron con neumáticos de la marca. “Hemos disputado tres carreras y hemos subido tres veces al podio”, afirmó Moreau. “Teníamos bastante asumido que no podíamos alcanzar DESCARGAR IMAGEN al Acura, así que nos jugamos la baza de la estrategia y la fiabilidad”.

    IN TOUCH THE OFFICIAL MAGAZINE OF DUNLOP MOTORSPORT [ www.injection.tv ] LE MANS RACE EDITION Dunlop came away from the Le Mans 24 hours delighted with the performance of its dry and light wet tyres after a difficult race in which the changing condi- tions contributed to the overall result. “We were pretty competitive in all conditions other than full wet conditions,” says Dunlop’s chief tyre technician Matthew Simpson of the LMP2 tyres. “On the slick tyres and the light wet tyres, we had a performance advantage, but in full wet conditions we struggled to get temperature into our compounds. The Essex car had engine trouble so we were never going to do better than we did, but we have to look at the tyre perform- ance in wet conditions and make it better. “The Virgo Ferrari team were very strong and our development construction at the rear allowed us to double stint safely. There was no sign of difficulty in doing so, and there was zero deterioration from the first lap to the last in a double stint, according to the drivers. Le Mans podiums for Essex Perhaps we could have triple stinted, but we didn’t test that before the race and during the race was not the time to try. Porsche and Farnbacher Ferrari “The Creation team had four punctures and three of them were caused by debris. There was not enough left of the tyre to establish the cause of the fourth.” The 2008 edition of the Le Mans 24 hours produced was difficult to drive because sometimes the power was everything from a record breaking qualifying and race there, other times it wasn’t and we couldn’t know what to John Nielsen, Casper Elgaard and Sascha Maassen pace, a record crowd of 258,500 turning out in eager expect.

  • Lola at Le Mans 2007 Media Guide
    Lola at Le Mans 2007 Media Guide B08/60 LMP1 Coupe Preview Test Day Report Lola Team Profiles Complete Lola Le Mans Results A Message from Martin Birrane It goes without saying that Le Mans is the jewel in the crown of global sportscar competition. Indeed, having both raced and entered cars at La Sarthe, it is to my mind the biggest and best motor race in the world. This year, Lola is privileged to have six teams running Huntingdon-built chassis. It is extremely pleasing to see three each of our LMP1 and LMP2 cars here and with such a variety of engines, too. You will find elsewhere in this media guide Lola’s complete results at Le Mans – an invitation to conjure up your own memories from the wonderful past of this uniquely demanding race – and also a peek into the future with the first images of our new LMP1 coupe. I have long believed that Lola’s fortunes are a barometer of the health of sportscar racing and at the moment the market is looking strong, with this weekend’s six Lola entries and the imminent arrival of the first-ever customer LMP1 coupe, the Lola B08/60. As we look ahead to Lola’s 50th anniversary in 2008, the commitment to state-of-the-art technical facilities and outstanding engineering talent will remain the cornerstone of our success and appeal to both manufacturers and privateers seeking sportscar success. I would like to close by personally wishing our customers – and all of our friends throughout the sportscar racing community – the very best of luck in what promises to be an exceptional 75th running of the classic 24 Hours of Le Mans.
