GP2 Asia confirms Bahrain cancellation

The withdrawal of the Bahrain Grand Prix from the Formula 1 calendar also means the final rounds of the GP2 Asia Series will not take place in the country. After the opening rounds of GP2 Asia in Abu Dhabi, Bahrain was set to host the final two visits. The second round was cancelled last week and now the grand prix weekend finale has also been called off.

Sandt Racking-Up Tour Modified Wins

The same driver, same state with a different track produced a similar story in the third week of online racing competition in the NASCAR iRacing Tour Modified series in 2011. Untamed Motorsports driver Robert Sandt poured the pressure on his fellow sim racers by capturing seven wins at the Richmond International Raceway and would be relentless as the tour headed to South Boston Speedway. Sandt, the fast qualifier for the week led the eighty-nine other drivers in the win column at ?SoBo? as he put down five victories at the tight oval. Those five field toppers in eight starts would be good enough for the overall win for Week Three in 2011 Season One as he scored 162 points for the effort. Ohio?s Shawn Colley made one start on the [...]

Williams technical director Sam Michael says his team is not ruling out using its flywheel KERS this year, although he conceded it was very unlikely. The team will start the season with its battery-based KERS, after having ruled out the flywheel version because of packing reasons

Teams will follow FIA, FOM on Bahrain

Formula 1 teams will back the decision made by Bernie Ecclestone and the FIA over whether the under-threat Bahrain Grand Prix will take place, according to Red Bull team principal Christian Horner. The 2011 season opener, scheduled to be held on March 13, is in doubt because of unrest in Bahrain - which forced this weekend's GP2 Asia race to be canned. Horner, speaking on behalf of the Formula 1 Teams' Association (FOTA) after a meeting held after today's testing in Barcelona, insists that it's not down to the teams to make the call.

Carolinas Rule USA International Late Models

The iRacing.com Late Model Tour?s trip to Florida made it one of several racing events taking place in the Sunshine State this week as the series headed to high banks of USA International Speedway. At ¾ of a mile in length, USA offers drivers the opportunity to carry a lot of speed around the asphalt oval. The track offers drivers a variety of grooves, and the lines drivers run are often the product of the setups they have built and their comfort level in the cars. The outside wall has bitten many drivers on corner exit as it tends to sneak up on even the most experienced of sim racers. A pair of Carolinians picked-up the most points in Week Two as Reilly L. Doyle and Tyler Price led the [...]
