Calendrier des courses 2024 révélé

Posted on janvier 2, 2024 by - General, General

À la veille du Nouvel An, la BOSS GP Racing Series a publié les dates de sa saison anniversaire.

Pour la 30e année de la série de courses la plus rapide et, pour beaucoup, la plus passionnante d’Europe, les équipes et les pilotes de la BOSS GP Racing Series seront à nouveau en tournée en Europe. Les organisateurs ont réussi à combiner des circuits de course familiers et de nouveaux événements. Une fois de plus, seuls des circuits répondant aux normes de sécurité les plus élevées ont été sélectionnés. Cela garantit que l’infrastructure n’offre que les meilleures conditions et que les pilotes s’affrontent sur les mêmes pistes que celles où la Formule 1 et la MotoGP sont habituellement en action. Sans oublier l’atmosphère inoubliable qui règne lors d’événements tels que le Jim Clark Revival à Hockenheim ou le Jack’s Racing Day aux Pays-Bas.

PISTES DE COURSE ET ÉVÉNEMENTS

Le coup d’envoi de la saison 2024 sera à nouveau donné au Hockenheimring (3-5 mai), où des dizaines de milliers de spectateurs attendront à nouveau les voitures et leurs pilotes dans le Motodrom plein à craquer. Trois semaines après l’ADAC Hockenheim Historic, le retour tant attendu aura lieu au Nürburgring (24-26 mai). Le Nürburgring Classic sur le circuit légendaire de l’Eifel sera l’un des temps forts de la saison.

Ensuite, nous prendrons la piste pour la course locale de la série à Spielberg (7-9 juin), où la BOSS GP Racing Series fera sa deuxième apparition en tant que point culminant des Red Bull Ring Classics. Cette course sera suivie d’une autre à Assen (du 2 au 4 août), où une salle comble du légendaire circuit TT pourra à nouveau entendre le son unique de notre gamme lors du Jack’s Racing Day (entrée gratuite !).

La finale sera à nouveau un double programme en Italie à l’automne. Le premier sera l’un des circuits préférés de nombreux pilotes, le circuit du Mugello (11-13 octobre) en Toscane. Il sera suivi trois semaines plus tard par la « Grande Finale » au Misano World Circuit (1-3 novembre), un circuit qui a donné lieu à des courses passionnantes ces dernières années et qui a été bien apprécié par les équipes et les pilotes. En raison du nivellement du circuit, aucune voiture de Formule 1 ne sera en piste lors de la finale.

DU DIVERTISSEMENT AVEC DES VOITURES DE FORMULE 1 : VOICI LES F1 CAR LEGENDS

Cependant, après l’événement test réussi à Brno en 2023, ces voitures auront l’occasion de participer à un nouveau format de course-spectacle appelé « F1 Car Legends » en 2024. Les deux dates du Grand Prix de France Historique au Castellet (19-21 avril) et du Jack’s Racing Day à Assen du 2 au 4 août ont déjà été confirmées. Plus de détails sur cette offre destinée aux propriétaires de voitures de Formule 1 seront bientôt disponibles sur www.bossgp.com

FORMAT DE COURSE ET CANDIDATURE

Comme par le passé, il y aura deux courses par week-end de course en plus des séances d’entraînement et de qualification. Celui ou celle qui recueillera le plus de points dans sa classe à la fin de l’année sera couronné(e) champion(ne). L’année dernière, ce fut le cas pour Ingo Gerstl (BOSS GP F1 Class), Antonio Pizzonia (OPEN), Simone Colombo (FORMULA) et Henry Clausnitzer (SUPER LIGHTS).

Le règlement de la saison 2024 et les formulaires d’inscription seront bientôt publiés sur www.bossgp.com. Les documents de l’année précédente sont disponibles à titre de référence pour les participants intéressés : www.bossgp.com/forteams

Saison 2023 et Soirée des Champions

Posted on novembre 25, 2023 by - General, Non classifié(e)

BOSS GP 2023: 5 pays – 7 épreuves – 14 courses – 4 classes – 20 équipes – 40 pilotes – 11 nations.

La Champions Night de la BOSS GP Racing Series de cette année a eu lieu le samedi 25 novembre 2023. Les participants à la série de courses la plus rapide d’Europe se sont réunis dans la merveilleuse ambiance du restaurant M23 à Mönchsberg, avec une vue magnifique sur la ville de Salzbourg. Pour la 29e édition de la série BOSS, les courses se sont déroulées sur sept week-ends dans cinq pays européens. Vingt équipes participantes ont aligné leurs voitures dans quatre classes et ont envoyé un total de 40 pilotes de 11 nations aux événements.

Dans la classe BOSS GP F1, la classe des pur-sang de Formule 1, l’Autrichien Ingo Gerstl a de nouveau gagné avec sa Toro Rosso STR1 Cosworth du Team Top-Speed. Il s’agit du huitième succès du natif de Salzbourg, ce qui en fait le seul recordman au palmarès des succès de la série BOSS GP. L’artiste et sculpteur de renommée mondiale Jos Pirkner, invité d’honneur de la soirée à Mönchsberg et créateur du design légendaire de la voiture de course de Formule 1 Toro Rosso, a remis à Ingo Gerstl le trophée de la victoire générale du BOSS GP. L’Allemand Ulf Ehninger est arrivé deuxième de la catégorie Formule 1 avec sa Benetton B197-F1 d’ESBA-Racing devant le Français Didier Sirgue de LRS Racing sur la Jaguar R2-F1.

La classe BOSS GP OPEN a été remportée par le Brésilien Antonio Pizzonia. L’ancien pilote de Formule 1 Williams et Jaguar s’est imposé au volant d’une Dallara World Series V8-T12 de l’équipe autrichienne HS Engineering soutenue par ZELE Racing. Cela signifie que l’adorable Brésilien a non seulement toujours été dans le sillage de la Toro Rosso d’Ingo Gerstl, mais aussi sur la première place du podium à 13 reprises lors des 14 courses de la classe Open. La deuxième place est revenue à l’Irlandais Paul O’Connell, toujours de bonne humeur, dont la Dallara NME World Series a également été réalisée par HS Engineering / ZELE Racing.

La classe BOSS GP FORMULA était la plus peuplée en termes de nombre et les voitures Dallara-Mecachrome 4.0 V8 GP2 ont de nouveau dominé. Au total, 29 pilotes figurent au classement par points de la classe FORMULA, les trois premières places revenant à l’Italie. Il convient de noter en particulier le duel au sommet qui a duré toute une année entre le futur vainqueur Simone Colombo de MM International et Marco Ghiotto de la Scuderia Palladio / Team Nardi Compressori. Les luttes entre ces deux pilotes ont été rudes, mais toujours très justes. Plusieurs fois, quelques centimètres seulement les séparaient sur la ligne d’arrivée. Cecco Malavasi, également de la Scuderia Palladio, a pris la troisième place du classement général de la catégorie FORMULA devant le meilleur pilote allemand, Andreas Fiedler de Fiedler Racing / Team Leonhart, qui a raté le podium au classement général d’un seul point. Marc Faggionato de Monaco, au volant d’une voiture de l’équipe italienne MM International, était également très fort dans cette classe FORMULE. Il a même remporté une victoire de catégorie au Paul Ricard en début de saison puis est monté plusieurs fois sur le podium tout au long de l’année. A noter également l’Autrichien Roland Rupprechter, qui, en tant que nouveau venu dans la série BOSS GP, apparaît neuvième sur 29 pilotes au classement par points de la FORMULA Class.

La victoire dans la classe BOSS GP SUPER LIGHTS revient à l’Allemand Henry Clausnitzer de WF Racing sur un Tatuus World Series V6. L’Autrichien Stefan Eisinger-Sewald de Red Rose Racing, qui a toujours piloté avec un engagement total, est arrivé deuxième avec sa belle Ralt RT23-F3000 dans la catégorie des voitures de course de faible cylindrée. L’Italien Walter Colacino / W. Colacino Racing est arrivé troisième en SUPER LIGHTS sur une Lola T96/50-F3000.

L’année prochaine, en 2024, la série BOSS fêtera les 30 ans de sa création par Roger Cowman et ses amis en Grande-Bretagne. Il y a six week-ends de course dans le calendrier pour la saison anniversaire 2024, plus deux dates auxquelles auront lieu les spectacles de F1.

Report: Race 2 Mugello

Posted on octobre 8, 2023 by - 5, General

The last winner’s trophies of the 2023 season go to Antonio Pizzonia, Simone Colombo and Walter Colacino.

In perfect weather, the drivers of the BOSS GP Racing Series were challenged once again on Sunday lunchtime: The longer 25-minute race had to be contested and at numerous positions drivers fought for a better result.

Not impressed by this, Antonio Pizzonia (BRA) took another overall victory today. The driver of the Austrian team HS Engineering also took first place in the final race of the OPEN class this season. With a time of 1:31.120 min, Pizzonia topped his best lap time from yesterday. This means that Pizzonia has now managed to set a new lap record in his World Series 4.5, as only Formula 1 cars have ever been faster on this track. The previous record holder was Harald Schlegelmilch (LVA), OPEN champion in 2022, also in this car.

Simone Colombo (ITA, MM International) was the one who left his mark on the 14th race of the season in the FORMULA class. After Pizzonia had lost ground due to degrading tyres, Colombo had even taken the lead for a moment. Behind him, Marc Faggionato (MCO, MM International) built up pressure in the early stages, with Marco Ghiotto (ITA, Scuderia Palladio) hot on his heels. Sometimes on the edge of track limits, the top drivers in the FORMULA class gave each other nothing in the final race of the season. On lap 11 of 16, Ghiotto overtook the Faggionato in front of him. But the gap to Colombo had already grown to several seconds. So once again it was Colombo who was allowed to open the champagne first. Ghiotto took second place, Faggionato came third.

Salvatore de Plano (ITA, MM International) finished behind, Andreas Fiedler (GER, Fiedler Racing) was in fifth place. In a nice triell, the two Zig Zag drivers Jean-Christophe Peyre (FRA) and Nicolas Matile (MCO) as well as the Scuderia Palladio supported Bruno Jarach (ITA, Eesti Motorsport) met. For almost 15 laps the group were together, finally Jarach beat the two Auto GP cars to the chequered flag. In SUPER LIGHTS, Walter Colacino (ITA, Walter Colacino Racing) took home another victory.

After seven events in France, Germany, Austria, Italy and the Netherlands, the champions for the 2023 season are Ingo Gerstl (BOSS GP F1 Class), Antonio Pizzonia (OPEN), Simone Colombo (FORMULA) and Henry Clausnitzer (SUPER LIGHTS). They will be honoured at the end-of-year party at the end of November in the city of Salzburg.

Report: Race 1 Mugello

Posted on octobre 7, 2023 by - General

Simone Colombo continues his hot streak with his tenth win of the season. Colacino and Pizzonia win their classes.

After securing the championship title last time out in Monza, Simone Colombo (ITA, MM International) is not slowing down in the first Mugello race. The now two-time BOSS GP Champion managed to keep Marco Ghiotto (ITA, Scuderia Palladio) at distance once again. The Italian battle in the FORMULA class continued in Mugello, although this time it was much less tense between the two GP2 drivers. By the way, Ghiotto finished in the top-3 for the tenth time this season.

In the battle for third place, Andreas Fiedler (GER, Fiedler Racing) had already built up a small lead over the drivers behind him before a safety car interruption reunited the pack. Fiedler defended hard but always fair against Marc Faggionato (MCO, MM International) before the Monegasque was able to overtake Fiedler in the third sector. A small driving mistake a little later also allowed Salvatore de Plano (ITA, MM International) to pass the German. Faggionato was annoyed despite third place, because not for the first time this year a bad start robbed the fast all-rounder of his chance to fight for victory.

Sixth place went to Nicolas Matile (MCO) of the French team Zig-Zag. Bruno Jarach (ITA, Eesti Motorsport) took 7th place ahead of Jean-Christophe Peyre (FRA, Zig-Zag), who crossed the finish line only just behind. Roland Rupprechter (AUT, Rupprechter Motorsport) was delighted with another finish.

Antonio Pizzonia (BRA, HS Engineering) was on the best way to overall victory, but on lap 5 the former Formula 1 driver stopped in turn 3 because the shifting of the World Series Dallara did not work correctly anymore. Walter Colacino (ITA, Walter Colacino Racing) took the full points in the SUPER LIGHTS classification and climbed onto the podium as well. The last chance to take a trophy this season is tomorrow, Sunday: the longer, 25-minute race starts at 11:00 a.m. CEST.

Report: Qualifying Mugello

Posted on octobre 7, 2023 by - General

Antonio Pizzonia leading the way, exciting races expected in FORMULA and Walter Colacino best SUPER LIGHTS driver in Qualifying.

In the finest late summer weather, the 5.245-kilometre track at Mugello presented its most beautiful side to the BOSS GP drivers. In qualifying, which determines the starting grid for both races, Antonio Pizzonia (BRA, HS Engineering) set the fastest time in the OPEN classification for the seventh time this season. This time, the ex-Formula 1 driver from Williams and Jaguar will lead the full field to the start, as he did in Misano earlier this year.

In the FORMULA class, a three-way battle for the top spot is expected after practice and qualifying: Simone Colombo (ITA), Marc Faggionato (MCO, both MM International) and Marco Ghiotto (ITA, Scuderia Palladio) were separated by just a few tenths of a second on their fastest lap – they will probably fight it out between themselves for victory.

Following them was another MM International driver, Salvatore de Plano (ITA) starts from third row. The two Auto GP cars from Zig-Zag will start from row 3 and 4: Nicolas Matile (MCO) was faster than team-mate Jean-Christophe Peyre (FRA). Best in the SUPER LIGHTS class this time around was Walter Colacino (ITA, Walter Colacino Racing) in his Formula 3000.

Roland Rupprechter (AUT, Rupprechter Motorsport) and Andreas Fiedler (GER, Fiedler Racing) both came to an early end to their practice sessions after a spin. However, both will be able to take part in the races. The start of the first race is today, Saturday, at 14:10 CEST, the second race starts tomorrow, Sunday, at 11:00 CEST.

Preview: Grande Finale Mugello

Posted on octobre 4, 2023 by - General

One more time this year, the engines of the BOSS GP Racing Series will be fired up: The grand finale of the 2023 season will take place in Tuscany.

For rounds 13 and 14 of the season, the teams and drivers will travel to one of the most beautiful racetracks on the continent. The 5.245-kilometer track at Mugello (built in 1974) will be the the venue for the finale of a great 2023 season that will be remembered for, among other things, new spectator records.

The Mugello Circuit is owned by Ferrari and traditionally hosts the MotoGP. In 2020, the track in Tuscany also was the venue for a Formula 1 race. The sequences of corners are mostly fluid and fast, the topography hilly. This makes the track, which was built in 1974, a favourite of many drivers. In addition, temperatures of around 30 degrees Celsius are forecast for the coming weekend.

Entries

With no F1 cars in the entry list, Antonio Pizzonia (HS Engineering) goes into the finale as the favourite for overall victory. For the Brazilian, however, it is once again a good opportunity to attack the lap record of a non-F1. Should he see the checkered flag in both races yet again, he could finish the season without a retirement and with a 100 percent win rate in the OPEN class.

In the most competitive class FORMULA, where Formula 2 and World Series cars meet, MM Motorsport brings the most promising line-up to the start line: With Simone Colombo (ITA), Marc Faggionato (MCO) and Salvatore de Plano (ITA) three former race winners have entered the event. They will take on Marco Ghiotto (ITA, Scuderia Palladio) who wants to make the most of his last chance for a win this season. Another Italian, Bruno Jarach, will start in Ghiotto’s team.

Nicolas Matile (MCO) and Jean-Christophe Peyre (FRA) will compete for the French Zig-Zag Motorsport team. Both will be driving one of the spectacular Auto GP cars. Andreas Fiedler (GER, Fiedler Racing) is now fully back after a few absences this season and has a good chance of jumping up a few places in the overall standings.

And in the SUPER LIGHTS? Walter Colacino (ITA, Colacino Racing) is also coming to Tuscany with his Formula 3000. He shares the Lola, built in 1996, with his colleague Roberto Vanni (ITA).

Preview: Nardi Compressori Race Monza

Posted on septembre 20, 2023 by - General

After two years, the BOSS GP Racing Series finally returns to the Parco di Monza, one of the most prestigious racing venues in the world.

Where just a few weeks ago thousands and thousands of Tifosi were able to experience Carlos Sainz, Max Verstappen & Co., Formula 1 history will once again return this coming weekend (September 22 to 24, 2023). With the BOSS GP Racing Series, the fastest racing cars of the past 25 years are lined up to contest again in a race. The great interest in drivers for the sixth race weekend of the season showed how popular the circuit is.

The second of three Italian BOSS GP rounds this season will be held in Monza

The 5.793-kilometer racetrack in the royal park of Monza is one of the most impressive racing facilities in the world. As one of the last high-speed tracks, it is a unique challenge for racing drivers. A large part of the original layout has been adapted to modern safety standards and is still used today, but the steep concrete curves can only be visited on foot. Many drivers and fans also combine their visit with a trip to the centre of Milan, about half an hour away, or to nearby Lake Garda.

Entries

Ingo Gerstl (AUT, Top Speed), who is already confirmed as the old and new champion of the BOSS GP F1 Class, will enter the races in Monza as the logical favourite for victory. His STR1 with the V10 Cosworth engine is the fastest car on the grid for Monza.

In the OPEN class, where adapted monoposto cars will be on the grid, Paul O’ Connell is expected to make an appearance. This time, the popular Irish racer will be driving a second Dallara World Series with a 4.5-liter engine, prepared by HS Engineering, in an attempt to stand up to ex-Formula 1 driver Antonio Pizzonia (HS Engineering). The Brazilian has already been confirmed as champion of his class and will once again try to keep up with Gerstl’s Formula 1 car and offer the fans the best possible show.

This time, there is particularly great interest in the FORMULA class, where there are some newcomers: Juju Noda is one of them. The Japanese is the daughter of Hideki Noda, the former Formula 1 and IndyCar driver. On her way towards the top class, she uses the BOSS GP platform as an ideal training environment to familiarise herself with a big Formula racing car. To do so, the former W Series driver will climb into a 3.5-litre World Series of the Austrian team HS Engineering this weekend.

With Felix Grosse-Aschhoff and Michael Grosse-Aschhoff (both GER), two drivers from Asche Racing will join the grid in Monza. The international character of the BOSS GP Racing Series is also demonstrated by the entry of David Richert from Canada, who will compete for MM International from Italy. Richert has previously raced in the Formula Renault Eurocup and most recently competed in Formula 3. Now he is celebrating his debut in a GP2 Dallara.

In the duel for the championship title, however, two other drivers are in the spotlight: Once again it is Scuderia Palladio driver Marco Ghiotto (champion 2019, 2020, 2021) and Simone Colombo (champion 2022) who are battling it out at their home race. Colombo (MM International) could clinch the title already this weekend.

Five other Italians will be competing in Monza, including Robert Vanni and Walter Colacino (both Colacino Racing) in a Formula 3000 in the SUPER LIGHTS category. With Stefan Eisinger-Sewald (AUT, Red Rose Racing) in an older Ralt-F3000 and Jody Stadelmann (SUI, Team Stadelmann) in the rare Formula Nippon-Mugen, there are also two returnees in this class.

Timetable

Friday, 22 September
09:00–09:25          Free Practice 1
13:59–14:24          Free Practice 2

Saturday, 23 September
11:20–11:50          Qualifying (separated in two groups)
17:40–18:00          Race 1 (20 minutes/F1 Class 15 minutes)

During the entire race weekend, entry to the racetrack is free of charge. Almost all grandstands are open. Parking costs 15 euros per car and 5 euros per motorbike on Saturday and Sunday respectively.

More to watch

The BOSS GP Racing Series is the highlight of a packed motorsport programme at Monza. In addition to the GT3 cars of the International GT Open, the GT Cup, the Euroformula Open, the TCR Europe and the Porsche Carrera Cup France will be all racing this race weekend in Monza.

Debut for BOSS GP Show Run

Posted on septembre 7, 2023 by - General

At the Masaryk Racing Days in Brno on September 9 and 10, the BOSS GP Racing Series will showcase some of its most valuable racing cars.

For the first time, a BOSS GP event will not be contested for championship points. Instead, the focus in the Czech Republic is on the show. Formula 1 cars and F1-related Formula 1 single-seaters will be on track on Saturday and Sunday in six 15-minute sessions at the Automotodrom Brno.

The Wolf F1 WR7 by Rudolf Raml, which James Hunt, Keke Rosberg and Emerson Fittipaldi drove in 1979, will be on display. From the year 2001 is the Arrows A22, which was driven by Enrique Bernoldi and Jos Verstappen. Examples of modern cars are the green and yellow Lotus T127 (2010) driven by Thomas Jakoubek and the Toro Rosso STR1 (2006) driven by Ingo Gerstl.

These and other cars are also exhibited in the pits and can be seen during the pitwalk on Sunday at midday (12:15-12:45 p.m. CEST). The exhibits also include Michael Schumacher’s 1997 Ferrari and the Toro Rosso STR3 in which Sebastian Vettel celebrated his first victory.

Report: Races Assen

Posted on août 13, 2023 by - General

Once again, the event in Assen was a motorsport festival for both participants and spectators.

Tens of thousands of fans in the grandstands at the TT Circuit in Assen (Netherlands), saw Europe’s fastest racing series in action at Jack’s Racing Day. A huge show program surrounded the practice sessions and races of the BOSS GP Racing Series this Saturday and Sunday. Among others, former Formula 1 driver Nyck de Vries hit the track in a World Series car of BOSS GP team HS Engineering. Ingo Gerstl (AUT, Top Speed) also made headlines, smashing both the track record and the official lap record (set in the race). With 1:15.861, the Austrian lapped the current MotoGP track in his Toro Rosso STR1 Formula 1 car faster than anyone before.

The results

The fifth race weekend of this season produced four double winners: Ingo Gerstl (BOSS GP F1 Class), Antonio Pizzonia (OPEN), Simone Colombo (FORMULA) and Henry Clausnitzer (SUPER LIGHTS) secured both race wins in their classes. For Pizzonia (BRA, HS Engineering) and Clausnitzer (GER, WF Racing) these successes also mean the premature win of the championship. The duel of the weekend saw again Simone Colombo (ITA, MM International) and Marco Ghiotto (ITA, Scuderia Palladio) battling for victory in the FORMULA class. These two GP2 drivers were once again split by just a few tenths of a second. There were also celebrations for Simon Jackermeier (GER, Top Speed), who was on the podium for the first time in race 2. In Race 1, Walter Steding (GER, Scuderia Palladio) was invited onto the winner’s photo, showing with third place on his return that he has lost none of his speed.
