Report: Race 2 Monza

Marco Ghiotto wins again in FORMULA and Ingo Gerstl strikes back in the OPEN category.

It was the counterattack of the record champion: After Phil Stratford (USA, Penn Elcom) had beaten Ingo Gerstl (AUT, Top Speed) for the second time this year yesterday, Stratford had no chance today. Gerstl took his fourth victory of the season with a dominant performance in his Toro Rosso STR1 and thus extends the overall lead again.

Phil Stratford tried to follow Gerstl, but yesterday’s winner suddenly stopped in lap 9. A technical problem on the Benetton B197 forced Stratford to stop between the two Lesmo corners.

In the FORMULA class Marco Ghiotto (ITA, Scuderia Palladio) repeated his victory of yesterday. Only a safety car shortly before the end made him sweat, otherwise the uncle of Formula 2 driver Luca Ghiotto had everything under control. Ghiotto is now the championship leader in the BOSS GP FORMULA category for the first time after his double victory this race weekend.

Marco Ghiotto: „Today it was easy. For the set-up I played it safe and didn’t adjust the rear wing as flat as yesterday. To win again at the home race here in Monza is a sensational experience for the team and for me as an Italian“.

Sunday’s podium: f.l. Bracalente, M. Ghiotto, OPEN winner Gerstl, Fiedler

Alessandro Bracalente (ITA, Speed Center) had a day to forget yesterday. Without points and very mad he went to bed yesterday. In today’s second race he managed to return to the podium with second place in his class. He also had to thank his German team Speed Center, who screwed several cars at the same time late at night. Although Bracalente has lost the lead in the points standings to Marco Ghiotto, with second place in today’s Sunday race he remains within striking distance for the coming races.

Andreas Fiedler (DEU, Fiedler Racing) showed, as he did yesterday, a race to catch up at its best. Started from last place, he overtook one competitor after the other lap after lap. After overtaking Walter Steding (DEU, Inter Europol) and Gianluca Ripoli (ITA, MM International) he was already fifth in class in lap 4. In lap 6 he overtook Philippe Haezebrouck (FRA, Speed Center) and Luca Martucci (ITA, MM International). Having reached class rank 3, the distance to Marco Ghiotto and Bracalente was too big to start another attack.

Martucci finally finished fourth in his class and was the best of the Italian MM International team. Teammate Ripoli finished 5th, ahead of Salvatore de Plano (ITA, Top Speed).

Phillipe Haezebrouck had a much harder time today. After a strong fourth place yesterday, he was handed back in the race today and finished seventh in FORMULA.

Armando Mangini (ITA, MM International) was also a long time in the lead, a technical defect led to his early retirement.

The next BOSS GP will take place in five weeks. In Assen the Big Open Single Seater will start in the program of the famous and very popular touring cars of DTM. Tickets for the weekend are available from 49 Euro on www.dtm.com/en/tickets/assen-2019

Report: Race 1 Monza

Stratford defeats Gerstl for the second time in 2019. Marco Ghiotto triumphs in the FORMULA.

Ingo Gerstl (AUT, Top Speed) is beaten again: Phil Stratford (USA, Penn Elcom) wins for the second time after Spielberg and continues his race to catch up in the OPEN championship. At the restart after the first Full Course Yellow, Stratford reacted faster than Gerstl to the clearance and surprised the serial winner. Although Gerstl tried again and again to get by on the straights, but Startford remained calm and mistake-free. It was Stratford’s fourth career success in the BOSS GP.

„I did that for my team. They were working on the gearbox almost the whole night, just that I could drive today. With the victory I can give Mansell Motorsport and the Judd crew something back.“

Third in the OPEN class was „Piter“ (FRA, Ray-Ban) as at Hockenheim. He celebrated his third podium finish.

OPEN podium: f.l. Gerstl, Stratford, „Piter“

The pilots of the FORMULA category delivered once again a sensational race. Marco Ghiotto (ITA, Scuderia Palladio) defended his lead from start to finish, but two Full Course Yellows let his lead melt away again and again. But Ghiotto withstood the pressure and won like last year at the Eni Circuit Monza. For him and his team, Scuderia Palladio, success at homeland is definitely something very special.

Andreas Fiedler (DEU, Fiedler Racing) experienced the spirit of the BOSS GP: Yesterday he noticed damage to his rear wing after free practice. Understandably, he didn’t want to take the risk of a failure on the high-speed track in Monza, so a change was the only solution. But Fiedler didn’t have a spare wing, so Scuderia Palladio gave him a rear wing and made it possible for Fiedler to start.

It was even nicer that Fiedler, who started from last place, was able to stand next to Ghiotto on the podium. Fiedler beats Luca Martucci (ITA, MM International) and Philippe Haezebrouck (FRA, Speed Center) in a fight that lasted several laps.

FORMULA podium: f.l. Fiedler, M. Ghiotto, Martucci

Martucci had a fantastic start from the fifth row and was also able to run the lap times of the top group in the race. 3rd place is his best result this year. Also, Le Mans starter Haezebrouck was on a podium spot for a long time, in the end he had to cope with position 4 in class in his first race for Speed Center.

Like Martucci and Haezebrouck, Walter Steding was one of the winners of the starting phase. Behind Gianluca Ripoli (ITA, MM International) he finished sixth in his class, just ahead of permanent competitor Thomas Jakoubek (AUT, Top Speed).

Sergio Ghiotto (ITA, Scuderia Palladio) was ranked tenth. At the pre-start his car stopped, so he had to tackle the race in last position. After a phenomenal race to catch up he was in the middle of the fight for the podium in the final phase. But a spin in the duel with Fiedler unfortunately ruined his race one lap before the end.

Salvatore de Plano (ITA, Top Speed) and Alessandro Bracalente (ITA, Speed Center) have fewer good memories of the opening stage of the race. De Plano caught Bracalente in the braking zone to curve 1 and turns him around. For de Plano the race was over, Bracalente was able to continue. Later in the race he retired just like his teammates Peter Göllner (SUI) and Christian Eicke (SUI).

Warm-up start tomorrow at 10:35, BOSS GP race 2 at 14:35.

Report: Qualifying Monza

The fastest BOSS GP qualifying of the year in review.

Third pole position in the third BOSS GP event 2019 for Ingo Gerstl (AUT, Top Speed). In the V10 Toro Rosso STR1 Gerstl was again the fastest pilot in qualifying. This means he sets the pace for the start of the first of two races at 4 p.m. this afternoon.

Phil Stratford (USA, Penn Elcom) will line up next to him once again. In the Benetton B197 he was able to improve by two seconds compared to qualifying 2018 – this opens the chase for permanent rival Gerstl.

Marco Ghiotto (ITA, Scuderia Palladio) confirmed his performance of Friday: With 1:36.169 he drove the fastest lap time of all Formula 2 drivers. Teammate and cousin Sergio Ghiotto starts the race from 5th place as third best FORMULA driver.

In between will be Alessandro Bracalente (ITA, Speed Center), who was the only one in the turbulent Qualifying 2 to make it into the top 5. Later in qualifying the FORMULA leader had an accident. At the end of the second chicane he spun to the inside and into the barriers. For the race driver and car should be made ready again.

The Italian dominance at their home race in the FORMULA class is underlined by Armando Mangini (grid position 6), Salvatore de Plano (grid position 7) and Gianluca Ripoli (grid position 8). First non-Italian in the FORMULA category is Philippe Haezebrouck (FRA, Speed Center). The Frenchman continues the good pace of Hockenheim and Spielberg in his first race with the new team.

Luca Martucci (ITA, MM International) starts in tenth. Walter Steding qualified as eleventh despite a spin into the gravel bed. Christian Eicke (SUI, Speed Center) was able to participate today after his accident in the first free practice and thanked his team with rank 12. Thomas Jakoubek (AUT, Top Speed) will start from 13, OPEN driver „Piter“ (FRA, Ray-Ban) in the only World Series car from 14.

Andreas Fiedler (DEU, Fiedler Racing) had to miss qualifying, because his rear wing broke yesterday. He hopes to find a spare wing before today’s first race, otherwise he must skip another race.

Race 1 starts today at 4 p.m. – with best weather and free entry.

Report: Free Practice Monza

Sergio Ghiotto, Dallara GP2

Friday in Monza: Getting used to the high-speed track in the Royal Park.

Speeds beyond 300 kph demand man and machine. It’s good that on Friday there were two 30-minute practice sessions for the BOSS GP drivers.

The fastest man in this high-speed challenge was Ingo Gerstl (AUT, Top Speed). The reigning OPEN champion set his fastest time (1:29.929) in the second free practice session in the afternoon. With similar good conditions tomorrow another big improvement in lap time is possible for Gerstl in his Toro Rosso STR1.

Phil Stratford (USA, Penn Elcom) finished with the second-fastest time of the day in the Benetton B197, by far behind Gerstl but in front of the Formula 2 cars. He will probably be the only driver who can challenge Gerstl this weekend.

Marco Ghiotto (ITA, Scuderia Palladio) was third fastest in both practice sessions. Last year’s winner at Monza is the hottest candidate for FORMULA victory.

Five other Italians managed to set a lap time of 1 minute 39 seconds: Luca Martucci (MM International), Sergio Ghiotto (Scuderia Palladio), Armando Mangini (MM International), Salvatore de Plano (Top Speed), Alessandro Bracalente (Speed Center) will also be playing a big role in tomorrow’s fight for pole position. Andreas Fiedler (DEU, Fiedler Racing) failed close to manage a 1:39 lap. In practice 2 Fiedler was involved in an incident with De Plano, Peter Göllner (SUI, Speed Center) and Martucci, both Fiedler and Martucci had an early end to the session.

Christian Eicke (SUI, Speed Center) set a great time in the first practice session. With a flattened rear wing and therefore little drag, he managed the second fastest time in sectors 1 and 3, beaten only by Ingo Gerstl’s Formula 1. However, Eicke had an accident only a little later at the end of the Ascari variant. But he will be able to participate again in the fight for pole position on Saturday.

16 starters will take part in qualifying tomorrow at 9:45 am. Today’s top 5 start in Q1 (8 minutes), the remaining drivers in Q2 (20 minutes). The fastest driver from the two combined sessions will be the first to start the 25-minute race at 16:00, the fifth in this BOSS GP anniversary season 2019.

Report: Freies Training Monza

Sergio Ghiotto, Dallara GP2

Der Freitag in Monza: Eingewöhnen an die Hochgeschwindigkeitsbahn im Königlichen Park.

Geschwindigkeiten jenseits der 300 km/h fordern Mensch und Maschine. Gut, dass es am Freitag zweimal 30 Minuten Training für die BOSS GP gab.

Schnellster Mann bei dieser High Speed Challenge war Ingo Gerstl (AUT, Top Speed). Der amtierende OPEN-Champion setzte im Toro Rosso STR1 seine schnellste Zeit im zweiten Freien Training mit 1:29.929. Bei ähnlich guten Bedingungen ist morgen auf jeden Fall noch ein deutlicher Zeitensprung möglich.

Schon mit Abstand zu Gerstl, aber vor den Formel-2-Autos, platzierte sich Phil Stratford (USA, Penn Elcom) im Benetton B197 mit der zweitschnellsten Zeit des Tages. Er wird wohl der einzige Fahrer sein, der Gerstl im Toro-Rosso-Formel-1 an diesem Wochenende fordern kann.

Marco Ghiotto (ITA, Scuderia Palladio) war in beiden Trainings Drittschnellster. Der Sieger von Monza aus dem letzten Jahr ist damit der heißeste Kandidat für den Sieg in der FORMULA-Wertung.

Fünf weitere Italiener schafften es, eine Rundenzeit von 1:39 hinzulegen: Luca Martucci (MM International), Sergio Ghiotto (Scuderia Palladio), Armando Mangini (MM International), Salvatore de Plano (Top Speed), Alessandro Bracalente (Speed Center) sprechen morgen im Kampf um die Poleposition ebenso ein Wörtchen mit.

Knapp an der 1:40er-Marke scheiterte Andreas Fiedler (DEU, Fiedler Racing). In Training 2 war Fiedler in einen Zwischenfall mit De Plano, Peter Göllner (SUI, Speed Center) und Martucci verwickelt, sowohl für Fiedler als auch Martucci war die Session danach frühzeitig beendet.

Eine Spitzenzeit setzte Christian Eicke (SUI, Speed Center) im ersten Training. Mit flachgestelltem Heckflügel und damit wenig Luftwiderstand gelang ihm in den Sektoren 1 und 3 die jeweils Zweitschnellste Zeit, nur geschlagen vom Formel 1 von Ingo Gerstl. Allerdings verunfallte Eicke nur wenig später ausgangs der Variante Ascari. Im Qualifying morgen kann er aber wieder teilnehmen.

16 Starter werden morgen am Qualifying um 9:45 Uhr teilnehmen. Die Top-5 von heute starten in Q1 (8 Minuten Fahrzeit), die restlichen Fahrer in Q2 (20 Minuten Fahrzeit). Der schnellste Fahrer aus den zwei kombinierten Sessions startet dann um 16:00 Uhr als Erster ins 25-minütige Rennen, dem fünften in dieser BOSS GP-Jubiläumssaison.

Update: Neuer Monza-Termin 2019

Der Juni-Termin für das BOSS GP-Rennwochenende in Monza wurde von den Veranstaltern um eine Woche vorverlegt.

Die Rennläufe 5 und 6 der BOSS GP finden vom 14. bis 16. Juni 2019 am Autodromo Nazionale Monza statt. Der ursprüngliche Termin (21.–23. Juni) wurde seitens des Veranstalters Peroni um eine Woche nach vorne verschoben.

Die 25. Saison der BOSS GP startet traditionell mit dem Jim Clark Revival im Motodrom von Hockenheim. Die Veranstaltung vom 26. bis 28. April ist der in Hockenheim verunglückten Formel-1-Legende gewidmet. Die Veranstaltung zählt zu den bedeutendsten Classic-Racing-Events Europas, auch 2019 ist die BOSS GP wieder Hauptprogrammpunkt dieses Highlights.

Am zweiten Rennwochenende vom 23. bis 25. Mai gastiert die BOSS GP in der neuen Heimat der Rennserie. Beim Österreich-Rennen am Red Bull Ring teilen sich die Big Open Single Seater erstmals das Programm mit dem KTM X-Bow Battle. Die Sportwagen-Rennserie ist einer der stärksten Markenpokale der Welt. Das Event am Spielberg findet von Donnerstag bis Samstag statt.

Danach geht’s für die BOSS GP-Akteure in den Königlichen Park von Monza, wo sich wie jedes Jahr auf der schnellsten Autobahn Italiens die Spreu vom Weizen trennt.

Ein weiterer Fixpunkt im Kalender 2019 ist das beliebte Event in Assen (Niederlande). Statt bei den Gamma Race Days ist die BOSS GP dieses Mal im Programm der DTM (19. bis 21. Juli) dabei, die dort zum überhaupt ersten Mal gastiert. Schon im vergangenen Jahr waren BOSS GP und die deutsche Premium-Tourenwagenserie in Spielberg gemeinsam angetreten, nun geht die Partnerschaft in eine Verlängerung.

Vom 6. bis 8. September verschlägt es die BOSS GP abermals zu den Masaryk Racing Days nach Brünn. Die tschechische Rennstrecke lockt mit einer Achterbahn, die bei den Fahrern gut ankommt. Die spannendsten Rennen 2018 fanden hier statt.

Zum Finale kehrt die BOSS GP nach Italien und nach einem Jahr Pause wieder nach Imola zurück. Auf der ehemaligen Formel-1-Bahn wird vom 11. bis 13. Oktober um die Wette gefahren. Am Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari fällt dann auch spätestens die Titelentscheidung der BOSS GP 2019.

Besonderen Wert wurde in der Kalenderplanung für 2019 darauf gelegt, die Abstände zwischen den einzelnen Veranstaltungen zu verlängern und die Rennen auf sieben Monate aufzuteilen. Im August gibt es eine Sommerpause.

Wie gewohnt gibt‘s an jedem Rennwochenende neben Training und Qualifying zwei Rennläufe zu je 20–25 Minuten. Die genauen Zeitpläne werden zeitnah zu den Rennen auf www.bossgp.com veröffentlicht.

Last year, BOSS GP and the German premium touring car series had already contested the event together in Spielberg, and now the partnership is being extended.

From September 6th to 8th, the BOSS GP will once again attend the Masaryk Racing Days in Brno. The Czech racetrack attracts with a roller coaster that is well appreciated by the drivers. The most exciting races of 2018 took place here.

The BOSS GP will return to Italy for the final round of 2019 and to Imola after a one-year break. The races will take place on the former Formula 1 track from 11 to 13 October.
