Report: Race 2 Imola

Posted on October 13, 2019 by - General

FORMULA title decision: Bracalente wins the race, Marco Ghiotto the championship.

How can it be better? The final decision for the championship title in the FORMULA class was made in the twelfth and last BOSS GP season race of 2019. Marco Ghiotto (ITA, Scuderia Palladio) went into the race weekend with better chances. After Alessandro Bracalente’s (ITA, Speed Center) victory in Saturday’s race his lead reduced from 15 to 12 points. This means: Ghiotto had to be at least sixth today if Bracalente scores another victory in Sunday’s race.

Ghiotto already had a shock moment at the start of the warm-up lap when his red GP2 Dallara did not come off the spot. Lucky for Ghiotto: Because a second car also stopped, Ghiotto could line up again in the second row of the grid for the rolling start. The Scuderia Palladio was able to breathe a short sigh of relief.

The best start behind OPEN champion Ingo Gerstl (AUT, Top Speed) had Luca Martucci (ITA, MM International), who almost caught Bracalente at the top. Ghiotto not only lost the place to Martucci, but also to Salvatore de Plano (ITA, Top Speed). However, Ghiotto overtook both again in the early stages and even managed to catch up with Bracalente with a couple of fast lap times. With second place he was fully on target for the title.

And it remained like that. Bracalente won the last race of the season and ended the year with an incredible result for a rookie: 5 victories, 10 podium places and only two retirements. In the end, one too many to defeat his fellow countryman Ghiotto, who also has a great score: 9 podium finishes and 2 victories, but only one DNF. After six exciting race weekends in Hockenheim, Spielberg, Monza, Assen, Brno and Imola, the new FORMULA champion Ghiotto and his opponent Bracalente finally separated by only nine points.

For the first time Marco Ghiotto is the champion of BOSS GP FORMULA class

Third place in the race went to Martucci, who fought again with de Plano until the middle of the race. De Plano finished fourth ahead of Andreas Fiedler, who secured third place in the championship with a damaged gearbox.

The best duel was delivered by Philippe Haezebrouck (FRA, Speed Center) and Gianluca Ripoli (ITA, MM International), with a better end for the Frenchman. Until the last lap both were within striking distance of each other on the 4.9-kilometer course. Towards the end of the 25-minute race, Peter Göllner (SUI, Speed Center) also caught up with the two, but could no longer attack. He finished the season with a respectable eighth place. Nicolas Matile (MCO, Zig-Zag) finished ninth in the class. By the way good news for the championship: His Team Zig-Zag Motorsport Service announced that they would be competing in more than two races next year.

Overall winner of the race was Ingo Gerstl (AUT, Top Speed), who once again put the pedal to the medal today in his Toro Rosso STR1. Although his mechanics gave everything, Phil Stratford had to load his Benetton B197 into the van early due to a defect. Second in the OPEN class and new runner-up instead is “Piter” (FRA, Ray-Ban), whose team managed to repair a big oil leak just before race began.

Next up: The BOSS GP annual award ceremony will take place on 7 December in Salzburg.

Alessandro Bracalente reduces the gap to championship leader Ghiotto by winning his 4th race of the year.

Alessandro Bracalente (ITA, Speed Center) drove unchallenged to his fourth victory of the season in the FORMULA class. The BOSS GP rookie thus reduced the gap to Marco Ghiotto (ITA, Scuderia Palladio) in the points standings from 15 to only 12 points. Now it is clear that the championship will be decided in the last race on Sunday. Ghiotto followed Bracalente throughout the race like a shadow. Only at the end of the race he lost the connection to Bracalente and the gap grow to an high of four seconds at the finish line.

Luca Martucci (ITA, MM International) showed an incredible pace at the finish. At the beginning of the race he dropped back to 9th place, but on the last lap he made it onto the podium. For Martucci it is his fifth visit on the podium in 2019. In a courageous last lap manoeuvre, he overtook Salvatore de Plano (ITA, Top Speed), who seems to have bad luck on his racing boots. For de Plano it was nevertheless the second-best result of the season and the highest finish since the Hockenheim season opener.

Andreas Fiedler (DEU, Fiedler Racing) was also involved in the fight for the podium at the opening stage of the race. In the end he finished fifth. He scored five championship points more than Philippe Haezebrouck (FRA, Speed Center), who finished seventh. Tomorrow Haezebrouck and Fiedler will fight for third place in the FORMULA ranking.

Marc Faggionato (MCO, Zig-Zag) could not set any time in qualifying because his car had not been repaired in time. That didn’t stop him from moving up to 6th place from last position on the grid. For several laps he battled with Haezebrouck for position.

Walter Steding (DEU, Inter Europol) was surprisingly in the top 6 at the beginning of the race, ahead of Martucci and Haezebrouck. With rank 8, he finished in good midfield this time.

Nicolas Matile (MCO, Zig-Zag) finished 9th with the only Auto GP Lola in the field. Peter Göllner won the internal team duel between him and Christian Eicke (both SUI, Speed Center).

Gianluca Ripoli (ITA, MM International) and Ulf Ehninger (DEU, ESBA Racing) had to retire early in the race. Because Ripoli stopped at the warm-up lap, he had to start at the back of the grid at the Indy start. He tried to improve his position in the first lap and collided with Ehninger’s Benetton in the Tosa hairpin.

The overall victory was again secured by Ingo Gerstl (AUT, Top Speed). Not surprisingly, the already crowned OPEN champion in his Toro Rosso dominated the eleventh race of the season.

The 12th and last race of the BOSS GP anniversary season will take place tomorrow Sunday at 2:10 p.m., before that at 10:30 a.m. is BOSS GP’s warm-up session.

Das letzte Qualifying der Saison verspricht Hochspannung bei der Titelvergabe.

Ingo Gerstl (AUT, Top Speed) im Toro Rosso STR1 holt sich die fünfte Poleposition im sechsten Rennen des Jahres. Dahinter brachte sich Titelkandidat Alessandro Bracalente (ITA, Speed Center) mit der schnellsten Zeit der FORMULA-Fahrer in eine gute Position fürs erste Rennen am Samstagnachmittag (Startzeit: 15:50 Uhr). Mit 1:30.641 lag er gut sechs Zehntel vor Tabellenführer Marco Ghiotto (ITA, Scuderia Palladio), der als Dritter aus der zweiten Startreihe ins Rennen geht. Erst in der allerletzten Runde fuhr Ghiotto noch weit nach vorne. Sollte Ghiotto das erste Rennen gewinnen, muss Bracalente zumindest Sechster werden, um die Titelentscheidung aufs letzte Rennen am Sonntag zu vertagen.

Luca Martucci (ITA, MM International) fährt neben Ghiotto aus Startreihe 2 los. Damit jagen beim Start drei Italiener Polesetter Ingo Gerstl durch Tamburello, Acque Minerali, Rivazza & Co. Benetton-Pilot Phil Stratford (USA, Penn Elcom) musste das Qualifying vorzeitig abbrechen. Schon gestern hatte es ein Leck im Getriebe gegeben. Mit nur einer schnellen Runde qualifizierte er sich auf dem fünften Startplatz.

Schnellster Fahrer in Q2 war Salvatore de Plano (ITA, Top Speed), der sich als Gesamt-Sechster qualifizierte. Nach einer verkorksten Saison will er beim Finale noch einmal auftrumpfen.

Andreas Fiedler (DEU, Fiedler Racing) steigerte schon wie gewohnt von Runde zu Runde die Schlagzahl. Als kaum jemand seine Zeiten weiter verbessern konnte, fuhr Fiedler die siebtschnellste Zeit.

Damit startet Fiedler eine Reihe vor seinem schärfsten Konkurrenten um Rang 3 in der Meisterschaft: Philippe Haezebrouck (FRA, Speed Center).

Walter Steding (DEU, Inter Europol) bestätigte mit Rang 10 den starken Eindruck aus den Freien Trainings am Freitag. Mit Rang 10 stellte er sein bestes Qualifyingergebnis aus diesem Jahr (Assen) ein.

Das erste von zwei Rennen an diesem Wochenende geht über die Distanz von 20 Minuten und startet um 15:50 Uhr – laut Vorhersage bei trockenem Wetter und 22 Grad.

The last qualifying session of 2019 promises high tension in the fight for the BOSS GP FORMULA title.

Ingo Gerstl (AUT, Top Speed) in the Toro Rosso STR1 takes his fifth pole position in the sixth race of the year. Behind him title contender Alessandro Bracalente (ITA, Speed Center) set the fastest time of the FORMULA drivers and put himself in a good position for the first race on Saturday afternoon (starting time: 15:50). With 1:30.641 he was a solid six-tenths faster than championship leader Marco Ghiotto (ITA, Scuderia Palladio), who will start the race in third place from the second row of the grid. On the very last lap Ghiotto managed to drive into the top-3. Should Ghiotto win the first race, Bracalente must finish at least sixth to postpone the title decision until the last race on Sunday.

Luca Martucci (ITA, MM International) starts from row 2 next to Ghiotto. This means that three Italian will chase pole setter Ingo Gerstl through Tamburello, Acque Minerali, Rivazza and Co. Benetton driver Phil Stratford (USA, Penn Elcom) had to retire from qualifying early. There had already been a leak in the gearbox yesterday. With just one fast lap he qualified in fifth place on the grid.

The fastest driver in Q2 was Salvatore de Plano (ITA, Top Speed), who qualified sixth overall. After a messed-up season, he wants to perform strongly in the finale.

Andreas Fiedler (DEU, Fiedler Racing) increased his pace from lap to lap as usual. When hardly anyone could further improve his lap times, Fiedler drove the seventh fastest time.  So, Fiedler starts a row ahead of his fiercest competitor for third place in the championship: Philippe Haezebrouck (FRA, Speed Center).

Walter Steding (DEU, Inter Europol) proved the strong impression from the free practice sessions on Friday with rank 10. With 10th place he was able to repeat his best qualifying result of this year in Assen.

The first of two races this weekend will have a distance of 20 minutes and begin at 3:50 p.m. – according to the forecast at dry weather and 22 degrees.

Report: Free Practice Imola

Posted on October 11, 2019 by - General, Uncategorized

With speeds over 190 miles per hour, Formula 1 and Formula 2 are back in Imola.

The BOSS GP Grande Final is under way: After a year’s interruption, Europe’s fastest racing series is back on track at the legendary Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola. For most BOSS GP drivers, the former Formula 1 circuit is no unknown, although the limited practice time was used extensively by the drivers on Friday.

Fastest of the two combined practice sessions was Ingo Gerstl (AUT, Top Speed) with a time of 1:27.703. Gerstl also set the speed record on day 1 in his Toro Rosso powered by a V10 Cosworth engine with a speed of 310 km/h before braking for the first corner. Also in good shape is Phil Stratford (USA, Penn Elcom) in his Benetton Formula 1. After a two-race break, he set the fastest time in the first free practice on his favourite track. Because Ulf Ehninger (DEU, ESBA Racing) returns this time too, we even see two light blue Benetton from 1997.

Luca Martucci (ITA, MM International) seems to be motivated by numerous fans this weekend. Today he was the fastest FORMULA pilot and thus also faster than the two title candidates Alessandro Bracalente (ITA, Speed Center) and Marco Ghiotto (ITA, Scuderia Palladio). However, both qualified safely for Qualifying 1.

Otherwise this Friday didn’t bring any big surprises. Nicolas Matile (MCO, Zig-Zag) in the only Auto GP car lost his car on oil in the first practice session, Armando Mangini spun into the rail during FP2 and “Piter” (FRA, Ray-Ban) had to get out of his smoking car. All three can participate tomorrow. The qualifying starts Saturday at 10:50 a.m., the 11th race of the season starts shortly before 4 p.m.

Report: Freies Training Imola

Mit Geschwindigkeiten über 300 Stundenkilometer sind Formel 1 und Formel 2 zurück in Imola.

Das BOSS GP Grande Finale hat begonnen: Nach einem Jahr Unterbrechung ist Europas schnellste Rennserie wieder am legendären Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola am Start. Für die meisten Fahrer der BOSS GP ist die ehemalige Formel-1-Rennstrecke keine Unbekannte, dennoch wurde die begrenzte Trainingszeit von den Fahrern am Freitag ausgiebig genutzt.

Schnellster der beiden kombinierten Trainingssitzungen war Ingo Gerstl (AUT, Top Speed) mit einer Zeit von 1:27.703. Gerstl stellte in seinem Toro-Rosso mit V10-Cosworth-Triebwerk mit 310 km/h vor dem Anbremsen zur ersten Kurve auch den Geschwindigkeitsrekord an Tag 1 auf. Ebenfalls gut in Schuss ist Phil Stratford (USA, Penn Elcom) im Benetton-Formel-1. Nach zwei Rennen Pause fuhr er auf seiner Lieblingsstrecke gleich einmal Bestzeit im ersten Freien Training. Weil Ulf Ehninger (DEU, ESBA Racing) dieses Mal auch wieder am Start ist, sehen wir sogar zwei hellblaue Benetton von 1997.

Beflügelt von zahlreichen Fans an diesem Wochenende scheint Luca Martucci (ITA, MM International) zu sein. Er war heute schnellster FORMULA-Pilot und damit auch schneller als die zwei Titelkandidaten Alessandro Bracalente (ITA, Speed Center) und Marco Ghiotto (ITA, Scuderia Palladio). Beide qualifizierten sich aber sicher fürs Qualifying 1.

Ansonsten lieferte der Freitag keine großen Überraschungen. Nicolas Matile (MCO, Zig-Zag) im einzigen Auto GP rutschte im ersten Training auf einer Ölspur aus, Armando Mangini (ITA, MM International) drehte sich im zweiten Training in die Bande. Beide können aber am ersten Renntag morgen teilnehmen. Los geht’s am Samstag um 10:50 Uhr mit dem Qualifying, der Rennstart zum 11. Saisonrennen erfolgt um kurz vor 16 Uhr.

Stratford (Benetton F1) follows a MM International GP2 car

The grand finale of the BOSS GP anniversary season will take place from 11 to 13 October – back in Imola after a two-year break.

The hilly and challenging course in the Italian town of Imola is the ideal venue for this season’s finale of Europe’s fastest racing series. Built in the 1950s, the Imola circuit has seen many triumphs and tragedies. The track, named after Enzo Ferrari and his early deceased son Dino, is still a highlight for every racing driver today. Although the track has not been on the Formula 1 racing calendar for several years, the 4.9-kilometre-long asphalt track has all the ingredients of a world-class track. Imola is also the only track in the BOSS GP calendar to be driven counterclockwise. This affects the set-up of the racing cars (more left turns) as well as the pilots themselves, where the neck muscles, for example, are subjected to different stresses. At the last appearance in Imola in 2017 the race winners were Ingo Gerstl (AUT, Top Speed) and Rinus van Kalmthout (NLD, Mansell Motorsport).

Why the BOSS GP Grande Finale is worth visiting?

The sixth round of the season with races 11 and 12 will decide the championship title in the FORMULA class. While Toro Rosso driver Ingo Gerstl (AUT, Top Speed) has defended his title in the OPEN classification prematurely, two Italians in their Formula 2 cars fight for the first place in the FORMULA ranking: Marco Ghiotto (Scuderia Palladio) goes after three second places en suite into the final round with a lead of 15 points over Alessandro Bracalente (Speed Center). A technical retirement at the last race in Brno meant that Bracalente is now the chaser. 50 points can still be scored in Imola, so Andreas Fiedler (DEU, Fiedler Racing) has still theoretical chances for the title. Practically he is fighting for third place against Philippe Haezebrouck (FRA, Speed Center). Who may put on the “crown”, will be determined at the very latest next Sunday.

In addition to BOSS GP, modern and historic sports car and touring car series are part of an exciting race weekend. The Renault Clio Cup, Lotus Cup and Alfa Revival Cup will, as usual, ensure exciting motorsport too.

Stratford (Benetton F1) follows a MM International GP2 car

Das große Finale der BOSS GP-Jubiläumssaison steigt von 11. bis 13. Oktober nach zwei Jahren Unterbrechung wieder in Imola.

Die hügelige Mutstrecke in der italienischen Stadt Imola ist der ideale Schauplatz für den Saisonabschluss der schnellsten Rennserie Europas. In den 1950er-Jahren gebaut, hat die Strecke in Imola viele Triumphe und Tragödien erlebt. Bis heute ist die nach Enzo Ferrari und seinem früh verstorbenen Sohn Dino getaufte Bahn ein Highlight für jeden Rennfahrer. Zwar ist die Strecke seit einigen Jahren nicht mehr im Formel-1-Rennkalender, doch hat das 4,9-Kilometer-lange Asphaltband alle Zutaten einer Weltklassebahn. Imola ist auch die einzige Strecke im BOSS GP-Kalender, die gegen den Uhrzeigersinn befahren wird. Das hat sowohl Auswirkungen aufs Set-up der Rennwagen (mehr Linkskurven) als auch die Piloten selbst, bei denen etwa die Nackenmuskulatur anders belastet wird. Beim letzten Auftritt in Imola im Jahr 2017 hießen die Rennsieger Ingo Gerstl (AUT, Top Speed) und Rinus van Kalmthout (NLD, Mansell Motorsport).

Was wird beim BOSS GP Grande Finale geboten?

Mit den Saisonrennen 11 und 12 fällt in der Emilia-Romagna auch die Entscheidung um den Meistertitel in der FORMULA-Klasse. Während Toro-Rosso-Fahrer Ingo Gerstl (AUT, Top Speed) seinen Titel in der OPEN-Wertung bereits vorzeitig verteidigt hat, kämpfen ausgerechnet zwei Italiener mit ihren Formel-2-Autos beim Heimspiel um den heiß umkämpften Platz 1 in der FORMULA-Tabelle.

Marco Ghiotto (Scuderia Palladio) geht nach drei zweiten Plätzen en suite mit einem Vorsprung von 15 Zählern auf Alessandro Bracalente (Speed Center) ins Finale. Ein technisch bedingter Ausfall beim letzten Rennen in Brünn machte Bracalente zum Verfolger. 50 Punkte können in Imola noch gesammelt werden, theoretische Chancen auf den Titel hat somit auch noch Andreas Fiedler (DEU, Fiedler Racing). Praktisch kämpft er wohl um Platz 3 gegen Philippe Haezebrouck (FRA, Speed Center). Wer sich die „Krone“ aufsetzen darf, wird spätestens am kommenden Sonntag feststehen.

Neben BOSS GP fahren auch Sportwagen- und Tourenwagenserien moderner und historischer Art, dazu kommen mit dem Renault Clio Cup, Lotus Cup und Alfa Revival Cup drei italienische Markenpokale, die wie gewohnt für spannenden Motorsport sorgen werden.

Start race 2 Spielberg 2018

Six race weekends are on the schedule of Europe’s fastest racing series in the coming season. At Assen, BOSS GP will support the DTM, at the finale the series will return to Imola.

Update, 12/12/2018: bossgp.com/update-new-date-for-monza-2019/

The 25th season of the BOSS GP starts with the Jim Clark Revival in the Hockenheim Motodrom. The event from 26 to 28 April is devoted to the Formula 1 legend who died in an accident at Hockenheim. The event is one of the most important classic racing events in Europe, and in 2019 the BOSS GP will once again be the main event of this highlight.

On the second race weekend from 23 to 25 May, the BOSS GP will be making a guest appearance in the new home of the racing series. At the Red Bull Ring in Austria, the Big Open Single Seaters will share the program with the KTM X-Bow Battle for the first time. The sports car racing series is one of the strongest one-make championships in the world. The event at Spielberg takes place from Thursday to Saturday.

In June (Update: 14–16 instead of 21–23) the first of two Italian appearances of the BOSS GP 2019 will take place at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza. On Italy’s fastest motorway, the adrenaline level will rise as always, because besides skill, the drivers will also need a lot of courage.

Another highlight in the 2019 calendar is the popular event in Assen (Netherlands). Instead of the Gamma Race Days, this time the BOSS GP will be part of the DTM programme (19 to 21 July). 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.

In the calendar planning, particular importance was attached to extending the intervals between the individual events and dividing the races into seven months. There will be a summer break in August.

As usual, every race weekend will have two races of 20-25 minutes each, in addition to training and qualifying. The exact schedules will be published at www.bossgp.com before the races.

BOSS GP-Renntermine 2019

Posted on November 30, 2018 by - General

Start race 2 Spielberg 2018

Sechs Rennwochenenden stehen in der kommenden Rennsaison am Terminplan von Europas schnellster Rennserie. In Assen fährt BOSS GP mit der DTM, zum Finale kehrt die Serie nach Imola zurück.

Update, 12.12.2018: bossgp.com/de/update-neuer-monza-termin-2019/

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 Rennen am Red Bull Ring in Österreich 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.

Im Juni (Update: 14.–16. anstatt 21.–23.) geht’s zum ersten von zwei Italien-Auftritten der BOSS GP ins Autodromo Nazionale Monza. Auf der schnellsten Autobahn Italiens steigt wie immer der Adrenalinspiegel, denn neben Können ist auch ordentlich Mut der Fahrer gefragt.

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 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.
