Question:

Did you watch the race series from the Superleague Formula last Year ?

What do you think of the series?

Do you like the way Pole Position was set?

Or never heard of it?

Interest in a tread over hear?

Superleague Formula

SC Corinthians starts from the pole-position at Magny Cours tomorrow.

The Brazilian club’s car driven by Antônio Pizzonia (BRA) netted the fastest time in today’s (27 June) two-car Qualifying Final against the Liverpool FC machine of Adrian Vallés (ESP) staged in hot and humid weather conditions.

Pizzonia, aged 28, set a time of 1min 26.555secs around the 4.41km Circuit de Nevers circuit in the final – 0.299-secs faster than Vallés (23) as the pair battled for supremacy at the culmination of the qualifying knock-out competition.

In semi-final one Pizzonia, who finished second in the final race of the SLF inaugural season, beat Craig Dolby's Tottenham Hotspur car despite a lock-up at the Adelaide hairpin when the Briton himself spun at Chateau d'Eau. In the second semi, Vallés swept aside Anderlecht (Yelmer Buurman) by eight-tenths.

French drivers Tristan Gommendy and Nelson Panciatici start the opening 45-minute race from sixth and 15th places respectively in their FC Porto and Olympique Lyonnais cars. Meanwhile defending Superleague Formula champion Davide Rigon (Italy) put the Olmpiacos car eighth on the grid while the AC Milan car of reigning GP2 champion Giorgio Pantano (Italy) starts from 16th place on the 18-car grid after failing to register a timed lap when his car suffered a gearbox gremlin.

Anderlecht: Yelmer Buurman (NED)

“I struggled a little in free practice but once we had new tyres the car was good. The temperatures on the front tyres were not correct causing me to ‘lock up’ too easily and this problem ultimately caused me to go off in my quarter-final – just after the second chicane, I went wide and in to the dirt and the gravel – which I was mad about. But then I saw the FC Porto car going in to the pit-lane so I thought I’d better finish my lap despite my mistake. We were later told FC Porto had been disqualified so I was through to the semi against Spurs – I was lucky. We will make changes to improve the car overnight.”

Liverpool FC with Adrian Valles wins Race 1

28/06/2009

Liverpool FC claimed first blood in the Superleague Formula by Sonangol when Spaniard Adrian Vallés comfortably won the opening race at Magny Cours in France today (28 June).

Vallés went into the lead on lap five and even retained his lead during the mandatory pit-stop for tyres.

Dutchman Yelmer Buurman in the Anderlecht car, despite being involved in an opening lap multiple car accident, came home second after successfully defending from the Tottenham Hotspur car of Britain Craig Dolby – the pair separated by less than a second at the chequered flag.

The pole-starting SC Corinthians car of Antônio Pizzonia (BRA) ultimately finished fourth after reigning GP2 champion Giorgio Pantano dropped from fourth to 12th place after spinning his AC Milan car at high speed with less than five minutes remaining.

A second 45-minute race, with the 18-cars lining up in the reverse of the opening race finishing order, plus a new three-lap non-points scoring “shoot out” for the top-three in races one and two, are staged later today.

Race two Magny Cours

Race 2 – AC Milan to the fore
The Olmpiacos car of reigning SLF champion Davide Rigon (ITA) started from pole-position with the Glasgow Rangers machine of SLF rookie John Martin (AUS) alongside on the front row courtesy of the reverse grid order after both were victims of race one’s opening lap accident.

But it was the fourth row starting AC Milan machine of Pantano who cruised to victory, finishing 2.2secs ahead of Rigon. Pantano took the lead from Rangers when Martin pitted on lap nine and was back in front by lap 17 after the pit-stops. The Australian went off at Adelaide corner on lap 18 when just outside the top-10.

FC Basel’s Max Wissel came through from ninth to claim third place and the final slot through in to the Super Final with Al Ain’s Miguel Molina (ESP) just missing out on a rostrum in fourth place having fended off the advances of AS Roma’s Jonathan Kennard – the Briton retiring with a clutch problem three laps from home after the pair touched.

Tottenham Hostpur claims opening race at Zolder

19/07/2009
Craig-Dolby-Race-1-Zolder-09_.jpg

Tottenham Hotspur claimed the opening Superleague Formula by Sonangol race honours at Zolder this morning.

The British club’s driver Craig Dolby led home the front row starting Glasgow Rangers machine of John Martin (AUS) by 2.075secs in the 44 minute plus one-lap race which featured two Safety Car periods.

SF championship leader Adrián Vallés (SP) increased his lead for Liverpool FC by finishing third – a further 1.3secs adrift – managing to stave off the advances of FC Basel’s Max Wissel (D) who set the fastest race lap.

The pole-starting FC Midtylland car of Kasper Andersen (DEN) led until making his compulsory pit-stop on lap 15 but stalled his engine at the stop. The Dane resumed in 13th but spun across the track on lap 19 bringing out the Safety Car two laps later leaving a four minute sprint to the chequered flag.

A multi-car collision exiting the first corner on the opening lap had necessitated a Safety Car period. The accident eliminated the Sporting Clube de Portugal, SC Corinthian and Atlético de Madrid cars.

Tottenham Hotspur: Craig Dolby (GB)
“It’s a fantastic maiden SLF win for Tottenham Hotspur and for me. My car’s rear diffuser was broken at the first corner melee. I just pushed as hard as I could and my team did a great pit-stop.”

Glasgow Rangers: John Martin (AUS)
“I lost time during the pit-stop when the car slipped off the front jack – just like at Magny Cours. If it hadn’t have been for that problem we’d have been very close to the Spurs car but it’s good to score well today.”

Liverpool FC: Adrián Vallés (SP)
“I extended my championship lead and that is the most important thing. The start was crazy but I was up to third at the first corner. I was catching FC Midtylland before he pitted but then his problem in the pits delayed my stop ‘window’ – it was a race I could have won”.

Corinthians handed Donington “Pole”

Qualifying abandoned:
Donington-23.jpg
01/08/2009

SC Corinthians will start the opening Superleague Formula by Sonangol race at Donington Park tomorrow from pole-position (2 Aug) after qualifying was abandoned due to a flooded track this afternoon.

The Brazilian club’s Antônio Pizzonia (BRA) headed the time trials in the opening Group A session staged on a dry track but rain midway through the session sent all cars in to the pits.

The following Group B qualifiers, now fitted with wet tyres as conditions quickly deteriorated, was headed by Olympiacos’ Davide Rigon (IT) – the defending SLF champion and a winner of the corresponding Donington race last August.

Quarter-final 1 was held in heavy rain and poor visibility forcing the organisers to suspend then ultimately abandon the following time trials due to the dangerous conditions on the 2.5 miles (4.02 km) parkland track.

The 18-car grid will line-up for tomorrow’s opening 44min plus one lap race in the order cars achieved in the opening 15-minute, Group A and B time trials. The nine GpA cars will take the “pole” side of the grid behind Pizzonia with Rigon alongside on the front row heading the GpB runners down the other side.

Three British soccer clubs, Glasgow Rangers, Liverpool FC and Tottenham Hotspur, plus two British drivers, Jonathan Kennard and Scott Mansell, aim for “home rule” at Donington – the only British venue in the series.

The Rangers car of John Martin (AUS) starts from fifth place, Tottenham Hotspur’s Craig Dolby – who lives in nearby Leicestershire – from sixth alongside on the third row and championship leading Liverpool FC’s Adrian Vallés (SP), from 10th position.

AS Roma’s Jonathan Kennard and Galatasaray’s Scott Mansell are placed seventh and 17th respectively on the colourful grid.

The drivers of PSV Eindhoven and FC Porto, along with the British club trio, wore black armbands in respect of Sir Robert William "Bobby" Robson CBE, who died yesterday (31 Jul) aged 76 after a long battle with cancer. He managed the Dutch (1990-92/98-99) and Portuguese (1994-6) league clubs as well as the England “national” soccer team (1982-90).
QUALIFYING QUOTES:

Corinthians: Antônio Pizzonia (BRA)

“It has been a very good day for us. It’s my second ‘pole’ in three races. We were strong in our dry qualifying session but the car was also good in the wet practice earlier in the day. So, rain or shine, I am very positive for tomorrow.”

Olympiacos CFP: Davide Rigon (ITA)

“I was on the limit – the conditions were bad but honestly I hope the rain stays. I will be happier for a wet race. I won here last year – I like this track a lot – and starting from the front row I have a very good chance of scoring my second podium of the season.”

FC Basel: Max Wissel (D)

“I was just 0.039secs slower than Antônio so I know I have the pace in the dry while I was fourth fastest in a wet practice so it seems that whatever the conditions we have a well-balanced car so things are looking good for FC Basel.”

FC Basel on a Swiss Roll in opening British Race

02/08/2009

FC Basel claimed its maiden Superleague Formula by Sonangol victory by winning the opening race at Donington Park today.

The Swiss club’s Max Wissel (D) finished 2.18-secs ahead of the Glasgow Rangers machine of John Martin (AUS) in the 44 minute plus one-lap race around the 2.5 miles (4.02 km) parkland track in the Midlands area of Britain.

The heavy rain of yesterday which had caused qualifying to be abandoned – and cause minor damage to a section of the track – was thankfully replaced by sunny intervals encouraging a healthy crowd to attend.

Wissel took the opportunity to overtake Martin on lap 12 lap when the backmarker PSV Eindhoven car delayed Martin as the Australian attempted to lap the Dutch car.

SLF championship leader Adrián Vallés (SP), who started from his worst proper qualifying position of the season in 10th place, finished sixth – just a second behind the Tottenham Hotspur machine of Craig Dolby (GB).

The pole-starting Corinthians car of Antônio Pizzonia (BRA) finished third having led until pitting on lap nine but a slow compulsory pit-stop lost the Brazilian valuable time.

A second race, followed immediately by a Super Final, will be staged at the British venue later today with Flamengo’s Enrique Bernoldi (BRA) starting from pole-position after spinning out on the opening lap of race one which caused a brief Safety Car period which also saw the front-row starting Olympiacos machine of Davide Rigon (IT) retire with no oil pressure as the race resumed on lap five.

FC Porto Heads Home Double Delight For Portugal

FC Porto scored its first victory of the season when Tristan Gommendy (F) scored his and the club’s second ever SLF victory, coming through from 10th on the grid.

Sporting Clube de Portugal’s Pedro Petiz (POR) did well to fend off a hard-charging, back row starting FC Basel for second place in the latter stages of the race to earn Portugal a magnificent 1-2.

Flamengo (Enrique Bernoldi) had started from pole, after spinning out on the opening lap of race one, while the cars of Rangers and AC Milan collided causing a Safety Car period. Olympiacos (Davide Rigon) started from the pit-lane when he was unable to take up his front row slot when work on replacing the engine overran – but retired early – while RSC Anderlecht (Yelmer Buurman) non-started due to a gearbox issue with Flamengo retiring after a slow stop.

FC Porto: Tristan Gommendy (F)

“To get a victory again for Porto, and the first for this season, is fantastic. The car was very good. I gave it 100% and it all came together for me.”

Sporting Clube de Portugal: Pedro Petiz (POR)

“The previous races at Zolder had been a nightmare so to get a second place here is incredible. I had to handle the pressure from Basel.”

FC Basel: Max Wissel (D)

“To come from the back of the grid to third place is truly unbelievable. I am now second in the series – just 10pts behind Adrián Vallés so I think the next races in Portugal will be interesting.”

Star drivers test new Superleague Formula video game

13/08/2009

Giorgio Pantano, Craig Dolby, Max Wissel, Davide Rigon and Enrique Bernoldi were among the star Superleague Formula by Sonangol drivers to try out the series’ brand new video game during the recent race meeting at Donington Park.

Ex-Formula 1 drivers Pantano (AC Milan) and Bernoldi (Flamengo) also enjoyed their digital thrash around the British circuit on the game designed by Media Game and Image Space Incorporated, whose portfolio of video games already includes rFactor, F1 Challenge and NASCAR Thunder.
“I played it on Saturday before qualifying and I really liked the game,” said Pantano who took fourth place in race 1 at Donington before being knocked out of race 2 on the opening lap. “It’s very realistic and on the demo version we were driving my AC Milan car which was really nice!”

Bourdais joins Superleague Formula

Former Toro Rosso driver Sébastien Bourdais has joined the Superleague Formula series, which completed its first season in 2008. The Frenchman will enjoy his debut in the relatively new championship this weekend in Portugal racing for Spanish football club FC Sevilla.

Following a successful half-day's testing at Magny-Cours last week with British outfit Ultimate, Bourdais took the decision to contest the last three rounds of the 2009 Superleague Formula.

"For a driver, Superleague Formula is the best alternative to F1," he said. "Today it's the only other championship in Europe to offer a driver the possibility of racing single seaters at a high, professional level.

"I am also a firm believer in the concept of merging motorsport and football, it's a partnership that offers enormous potential and should have a good future; once the championship is established and more widely known, I am sure that Superleague Formula will be very strong."
