SportsCar: Fittipaldi e Barbosa largam em 5º nas 10H de Petit Le Mans em busca do tricampeonato

Pilotos do Mustang Sampling Chevrolet Corvette também contarão com o português Filipe Albuquerque na prova decisiva deste sábado em Road Atlanta

Definido o grid de largada para a décima e última etapa da temporada 2016 do IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. Atuais bicampeões e em busca do tricampeonato, o brasileiro Christian Fittipaldi e o português João Barbosa, da equipe Action Express Racing, conquistaram a quinta colocação na tomada de tempos desta sexta-feira (dia 30) em Road Atlanta (EUA).

A dupla também contará com o português Filipe Albuquerque - que já dividiu o #5 Mustang Sampling Chevrolet Corvette nas 24 Horas de Daytona e 12 Horas de Sebring - nas 10 Horas de Petit Le Mans, que terão sua largada às 12h10 (de Brasília) deste sábado (1º de outubro).

A pole position ficou com o trio Oswaldo Negri Jr., Olivier Pla e John Pew, que correm com um P2 e registraram o tempo de 1min13s061. Os líderes Dane Cameron e Eric Curran, companheiros de Fittipaldi e Barbosa e que têm apenas um ponto de vantagem sobre a dupla bicampeã na classificação, ficaram em terceiro lugar no grid. A decisão promete muita emoção no traçado de 2,54 milhas (aproximadamente 4,1 km).

O brasileiro Christian Fittipaldi segue animado e confiante para a etapa. Nos dois últimos anos, a dupla conquistou seus títulos em Road Atlanta subindo ao pódio (segundo em 2014 e primeiro em 2015).

"Acho que poderíamos ter conseguido largar em terceiro, mas o mais importante é que o carro está bom. Os dois carros da equipe foram os DPs mais rápidos e amanhã temos 10 horas pela frente", comentou o brasileiro que subiu sete vezes ao pódio este ano.

"Eu estaria mais preocupado se estivesse largando em quinto numa corrida de rua de 1h45 de duração, mas com 10 horas de prova muita coisa pode acontecer. Claro que é bom estar largando na frente, mas o lugar que você larga não faz tanta diferença numa prova longa como esta", continuou Fittipaldi.

"Estamos animados, o carro está bem melhor do que esteve na última etapa em Austin. Ontem, simulamos situações de corrida e andamos bem. Agora é trabalhar forte e buscar mais este título amanhã", completou.

Além do título do IMSA, Fittipaldi e Barbosa também lutam pelo bicampeonato no Campeonato Norte-americano de Endurance, que inclui as quatro provas de longa duração da temporada. Numa delas, as 6 Horas de Watkins Glen, a dupla foi a vencedora.

Veja os melhores no grid em Road Atlanta (Top-8):

That moment when you know you jump out of the car as the champion of 2016! AMAZING JOB by @alessandro_balzan and everyone at @scuderiacorsaferrari - now pushing for the final result of the season 🚗💨❤️🇩🇰🇺🇸🇮🇹 #Champs#StillPushing #MemoriesForLife#ADayToRemember #TeamWorkMakesDreamWork#HappyKiddo

 João Barbosa e Christian Fittipaldi ficam com o vice-campeonato.depois de um furo que custou duas voltas e o terceiro título. 

 

 

Infelizmente as corridas são mesmo assim, e desta vez o azar esteve ao nosso lado!
2 furos que nos fizeram perder uma volta enquanto estávamos na luta pelo campeonato e a quase ausência de bandeiras amarelas na 2ª metade da corrida fez com que fosse impossível reduzir a desvantagem, terminando a corrida no 5º lugar final.
Conseguimos manter o 2º lugar no campeonato IMSA.
Mas nem tudo foi negativo!
Ganhamos o campeonato North American Endurance Championship, composto pelas 4 principais corridas do campeonato, pelo 3º ano consecutivo.
Obrigado à equipa Action Express Racing pelo excelente trabalho feito este ano!
Agora é tempo de virar a página e começar já a pensar em 2017!
Parabéns aos vencedores deste ano Dane Cameron e Eric Curran!!

It was a tough race for us this weekend but that's racing, not always goes our way.
2 flat tires made us go down 1 lap and the lack of yellow flags in the 2nd half of the race made it impossible to recover finishing in 5th place. Very frustrating and disappointing.
But, not everything was negative.
We won the North American Endurance Championship for the 3 time in a row.
Thank you Action Express Racing for the amazing work this year!
Now, time to move on and start thinking about 2017! It should be exciting!
Congratulations to Dane Cameron and Eric Curran on this years championship!

2016 WTCC Shanghai - China

2016 EVENT: Race of China TRACK: Shanghai International Circuit TEAM: Castrol Honda World Touring Car Team CAR: Honda Civic wtccDRIVER: Rob Huff, Norbert Michelisz and Tiago Monteiro

 A front-row start for Honda for Sunday's opening race courtesy of Michelisz Norbert, plus ninth on the main race grid and victory in MAC3 too for the sixth time in 2016. A challenging qualifying session for Tiago Monteiro andRob Huff, who just missed out on Q2 in traffic and start 14th and 15th for each of the races.

Honda ended Saturday at FIA WTCC Race of China on a high note with victory in Manufacturers Against the Clock (MAC3) at the Shanghai International Circuit.

The Japanese marque had a difficult qualifying session in China, but showed the value of great teamwork to claim a sixth win in the Tour de France-inspired team time trial competition.

Drivers Tiago Monteiro, Norbert Michelisz and Rob Huff outpaced the LADA trio of Hugo Valente, Gabriele Tarquini and Nicky Catsburg by 0.295 seconds around two laps of the Shanghai circuit from a standing start.

Citroën was unable to make an attempt in MAC3 after the car of Mehdi Bennani slowed on the warm-up lap with a throttle issue

 Jose Maria "Pechito" Lopez made sure that Citroën Racing provisionally clinched the FIA WTCC manufacturers’ title* in style with pole position for WTCC Race of China!

Second place for Michelisz Norbert and an eighth podium of the year in today's opening FIA WTCC race in China; a fantastic result after fending off his rivals until just a handful of corners from home. 🏆 Ninth and 10th for Rob Huff and Tiago Monteiro, both progressing nicely from 15th and 14th on the grid.

 A primeira vitória da Volvo no WTCC 

What a race! Winner: Thed Björk Bang-Melchior 🏆🎉🏁 First victory this season. Big bravo to Polestar Cyan Racing 👏🏼

P2. Michelisz Norbert
P3. Yvan Muller

Thed Björk Bang-Melchior claimed a dramatic maiden FIA WTCC victory, taking the lead two corners from the finish in his Volvo S60 Polestar TC1.

What was also a first WTCC win for Chinese-owned Volvo was part of a weekend of celebration, which began with Citroën Racing provisionally landing the WTCC Manufacturers’ crown for a third year in succession on Saturday and ended with Mehdi Bennani Officiel winning the WTCC Trophy title subject to final confirmation.

 

 

Fizemos o melhor que conseguimos hoje mas partindo de 14º ia sempre ser difícil, além da estranha falta de performance que tivemos aqui na China. Um 10º e um 8º lugares dão-nos alguns pontos mas não é o que queremos. Vamos trabalhar forte com a equipa para terminar a época em grande na última dupla corrida do ano! #tiagosworld18 | Honda Racing WTCC | FIA WTCC.

We did our best today but starting P14 was always going to be difficult adding this to our lack of pace here in China. P10 and P8 gave us some points but not what we want. We will work to come back stronger for the last double race of the year! Never give up!

 

Tiago Monteiro

 

 

Still two races to go and we will not give up. Still possible to get Yvan so we will work hard and the word in Qatar will be one: ATTACK!

Ainda faltam duas corridas e apesar de estar muito difícil não vamos desistir, vamos lutar para chegar ao Yvan e ao vice-campeonato. No Qatar a palavra de ordem é uma: ATAQUE!

 

 

LADA SPORT ROSNEFT get back to the front in FIA WTCC Race of China LADA SPORT ROSNEFT left the FIA WTCC Race of China in Shanghai today (25th September 2016) with a decent points haul after two competitive races once again pushing for the podium positions. In the day’s Opening Race, Gabriele Tarquini got away well to run P3 in his Rosneft backed Lada Vesta whilst Catsburg and Valente were battling forward in the pack behind, improving well from there respective grid positions. Whilst Tarquini was closing in to pass Chilton in the Citroen for P2 Catsburg had moved up to P6 and Valente doing a sensational recovery job had propelled his Vesta through the pack to run in P8. Eventually on lap 8 of the 15 lap race Tarquini fell foul of Chilton when trying to pass and was forced to retire with damage, his loss again being Catsburg’s gain as the Dutchman inherited two positions to run P4. Valente also benefiting to move into P6. It remained this way until the final lap when Catsburg picked up debris from a collision between Bjork’s Volvo and Michelisz’s Honda allowing Lopez to push past on the final corner to snatch a place from the Dutchman. The team eagerly anticipated the Main race as Catsburg would take up his front row position earned from his impressive qualifying performance. The start was not as was hoped for however as Catsburg slipped back into the clutches of the Citroens to run P4 on the conclusion of the first lap. Tarquini behind in P5 and Valente getting away less impressively in his second start to be battling down the field. Nick Catsburg “I had a great qualifying but once again I fell victim to my race starts both in race 1 and the main race. Starting P2 I had the pace to win or at least be P2 but losing positions again off the line cost me. In the end P5 and P4 are good for points but I think it could have been so much better” Gabriele Tarquini “It was disappointing not to finish the Opening Race after contact with Tom, if I had got past him I could have won I am sure, but making the pass we had some contact broke my wheel and that was it. In the Main race I couldn’t really push and held the Volvo’s behind me for a decent P5 behind Nicky” Hugo Valente “I was very disappointed after the qualifying, it is really effecting my race results and I need to get on the pace quicker. We made some suspension changes after qualifying and I think it made the car much better. In the first race it was really satisfying to race to 6th  from P13 on the grid. I did some nice clean overtakes. Race 2 was a little disappointing as I got bogged down in a battle with Norbert (Michelisz) and Rob (Huff)  in the Hondas but didn’t have the car to compete to pass them” With the penultimate round in Thailand seemingly in the balance the team now wait to reconvene in Qatar for what could prove to be the finale of LADA’s strongest WTCC season to date. LADA SPORT ROSNEFT is a racing team, participating in the World Touring Car Championship since 2015 with specially designed LADA Vesta WTCC cars. The General Sponsor of the team is a global energy company Rosneft. Supporting the Russian team in the World Championship, Rosneft together with the leader of the Russian automotive industry – LADA – joined their efforts to promote Russian brands at the world markets.

Terceiro hoje na qualificação com a Renault Rs01. muito divertido. Eu tinha um monte de trânsito. Eu tive de ultrapassar dois carros a 260 km / h.
Confira os vídeos.

 Na primeira volta da 1º corrida do Renault Trophy

Great weekend.
Third in the qualifying.
We won the Endurance Race on Saturday but we were in the end penalize with 25s completely unfair and against the rules. The penalty was given because of a great overtake of my team mate. We went from first to fifth.
The race director considered that my team mate touch the other car and it was exactly the opposite. Unfortunately the appeals were not accepted. CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS????? There is videos. It was alive on the television?
Is racing becoming like Futebol???????
