Audis Fabriksförare Vässade Formen Inför Säsongen 2005-03-08 08:45 CET Audis fabriksförare vässade formen inför säsongen Audis DTM- och sportvagnsförare i form inför säsongen 2005 Framgångsrik tränings- och teambuildingvecka i bayerska alperna Christian Abt, Allan McNish, Frank Stippler, Mattias Ekström och Rinaldo Capello tränar längdskidåkning under Audi Fitness Week i bayerska alperna, mars 2005. Medan Audi Sport fortsätter att ge järnet för att förbereda den nya Audi A4 DTM inför motorsportsäsongen, genomförde Audi-förarna inklusive DTM- mästaren Mattias Ekström en intensiv förberedelse för 2005 års motorsportsäsong. Detta i samband med en tränings- och teamvecka i Ofterschwang, som ligger i Allgäu i bayerska alperna. Audis fabriksförares psykiska och fysiska form var under noggrann observation under sex dagar. Resultatet var mycket positivt: - Våra förare är ännu bättre tränade än för ett år sedan, konstaterade Audi-teamets läkare Dr. Christian John efter veckans slut i vintriga Allgäu. Träningsprogrammet var specifikt anpassat för att optimera grundkondition och uthållighet. Varje enskild förares form analyserades, även om särskild uppmärksamhet riktades mot de muskelgrupper som framförallt får arbeta inom motorsporten. - Med resultaten som bas har vi skapat ett individuellt träningsprogram som kommer att gälla under hela säsongen för varje förare, säger Dr. John. - Bra kondition är särskilt viktig i standardvagnskörning, beroende på att den fysiska påfrestningen är så hög tack vare de höga temperaturerna i cock-pit. Under långloppen, som till exempel 24-timmars på Le Mans, är uthållighet av största vikt. Mattias Ekström stretchar efter ett tufft pass under Audi Fitness Week i bayerska alperna, mars 2005. Träningsprogrammet för bättre form bestod mestadels av joggning, längdskidåkning, spinning, tyngdlyftning och vattengymnastik. Förarnas koncentrationskapacitet vässades under bågskytteträning. Teamidrottsövningar, som fotboll och vattenbasket eller snöskotur till toppen av Ofterschwanger Horn, var avsedda för att höja teamkänslan. - Helt uppenbart är våra förares form den viktigaste prioriteringen under en sådan här träningsvecka, säger Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich, chef för Audi Motorsport. - Men veckan är också ett utmärkt tillfälle för dem att lära känna varandra bättre och stärka teamkänslan. Det är viktigt att våra förare förstår varandra och kan skapa ett äkta team team spirit är mycket viktigt inom framförallt racingserier som DTM och i uthållighetstävlingarna med R8. Det var skälet till att Dr. Ullrich och de två teamcheferna Hans- Jürgen Abt och Ralf Jüttner också deltog under träningsveckan tillsammans med de elva fabriksförarna Mattias Ekström, Christian Abt, Frank Biela, Rinaldo Capello, Pierre Kaffer, Tom Kristensen, Allan McNish, Emanuele Pirro, Frank Stippler, Martin Tomczyk och Marco Werner. Efter den framgångsrika träningsveckan börjar det bli allvar för Audi-förarna. Sportvagnssäsongen startar den 19 mars med 12-timmarsloppet på Sebring (Florida) och DTM en månad senare på Hockenheim, 17 mars. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Du hittar bilder från Audi motorsport i vår bilddatabas.

    MEDIA INFORMATION November 2013 2013 FIA World Endurance Championship Round 7: 6 Hours of Shanghai Victory for the N°1 AUDI R18 e-tron quattro/MICHELIN, as Tom Kristensen/Loïc Duval/Allan McNish secure the 2013 WEC Drivers’ title After the torrential rain that forced the organisers to halt the recent 6 Hours of Fuji after just 16 laps, all spent behind the safety car, Audi Sport Team Joest and Toyota Motorsport GmbH were both eager to join battle once again this weekend in China. In contrast to the conditions encountered in Japan, the 6 Hours of Shanghai was marked by clear skies and warm weather (air temperature: approximately 25°C, and track temperatures up to 30°C) which enabled the teams to produce yet another thrilling show, with the outcome only settled with less than half-an-hour remaining. The pole-winning N°7 Toyota TS030-Hybrid of Wurz/Lapierre carved out an early lead, while the N°8 sister car – with Antony Davidson in command – engaged in a fight with André Lotterer in the N°1 Audi R18 e-tron quattro. On Lap 10, the British driver succeeded in finding a way past to ease into second place. The two Japanese prototypes then proceeded to dominate the top of the leaderboard until the eventful 143rd lap (190 laps completed in total). After 4½ hours of racing, the N°8 Toyota TS030-Hybrid was suddenly eliminated when its front- right suspension failed under barking for Turn 6. This promoted the N°1 Audi to second spot, approximately half-a-minute behind the N°7 Toyota, thanks to a strong stint from Benoît Tréluyer in the German car, as well as to a couple of time-consuming „moments‟ for the Japanese team‟s Nicolas Lapierre while overtaking slower competitors.

  • In Touch the Official Magazine of Dunlop Motorsport [ ] Le Mans Race Edition
    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.
