Rolex Series: Sixth in qualifying for Fall-Line Motorsports Audi R8 at Laguna Seca

By Tarek Ramchani

The Grand-American Rolex Sports Car Series is at Laguna Seca this weekend, the penultimate round of the season. A single Audi R8 GRAND-AM is taking part in the event from Fall-Line Motorsports.

The Audi Sport customer racing  team, who joined the GT ranks of the Rolex Series in the second half of the season, is performing well so far at the Californian track. The #46 Audi R8 GRAND-AM, shared by Brayn Sellers and Al Carter, finished tenth in the first practice session, fourth in the second session and fifth in the third session.

In qualifying Fall-Line Motorsports showed strong pace. Brayn Sellers and Al Carter took a satisfying sixth place after a very fraught session. This is their best result so far in the demanding Rolex Series GT field with the Audi R8 GRAND-AM. Bryan Sellers, who joined the Rolex Series GT team (he races with Fall-Line in the Continental Tire Challenge), has really boosted the R8 GRAND-AM effort. Bryan Sellers is one of the fastest GT drivers in North America.

It is interesting to note that Grand-Am has recently allowed Audi to use the original 2013 specification rear diffuser of the Audi R8 LMS ultra on the Audi R8 GRAND-AM. No doubts this helped Fall-Line Motorsports to improve with the car, however the team is really working hard and really improving with a car that won Rolex 24 at Daytona earlier this year.

Up ahead pole position in the GT class went to the #57 Chevrolet Camaro GT.R from Stevenson Motorsports. Second was the #31 Chevrolet Corvette from  Marsh Racing and third the #63 Ferrari 458 from Scuderia Corsa. The qualifying session results can be seen here.

OSCAR, OSCAR, OSCAR...........

Brad Pitt in 

" 12 Years A Slave"

There's a Little Golden Man in Brads future.

Simply named OSCAR.

There's more to this than meets the eye.

On my recent road trip across the USA.

I stopped in Roswell,

 to see what all the fuss is about.

Well let me tell you.

There is alot more to this.

In fact while there.

I got the feeling that in the next couple of years.

This will be proved to have been a true event.

Along with many more.

Thought for the Moment

By now, we have all heard about the feminist Krista Millburn - a.k.a. Femitheist - who has famously (and quite publicly) advocated castration, male genocide and the like. Having studied the Agent Orange Files pretty thoroughly, I can testify that the charming birds in THAT nest come fairly close to Krista, but don't quite make the grade. And even they had the good sense to keep their touching sentiments on the down-low.

Krista, on the other hand, has never been bashful about shoving her neotenic face directly into the world's face, and she has gathered over 11,000 YouTube followers. So I could almost say to the Radical Hub grrrlz, "hey, come on out, the water's fine!"

On my own YouTube channel, at last count, I had 1,101 subscribers - and you all know what I preach. Do I preach anti-female genocide, or hatred of women, in any form at all? You know perfectly well that I don't. So do you reckon I could get 11,000 subscribers if I commenced to preaching anti-female genocide and mandatory cliterodectomy? Maybe I  should give that stuff a whirl - ya think?

Seriously now,  you and I know damn straight that any male equivalent of Krista Millburn who dared stick his head up on the popular radar screen would get frog-marched unceremoniously over the nearest cliff. But wait, it gets better. Just try postering the slogan that "men's rights are human rights", or suggesting that violence against men should be stopped (as I recently did!) and watch the fun! Not only is it forbidden to preach violence against women, it is strongly discouraged to preach NON-violence against men!!

And when a man gets his penis sliced off and tossed into the in-sink-erator, people laugh outrageously on prime time television and get away with it. Note that I said "people" - that is a diplomatic choice of words, n'est-ce pas?

All right. Can anybody say societal hypocrisy that stinks to the high heavens?

Oh, and some people still have the colossal fucking gall to tell us that MISANDRY DOESN'T EXIST!

GT Tour: Sensational victory for Team Speed Car Audi at Magny-Cours race 1

By Tarek Ramchani

Audi had a great first race at Magny-Cours in the French FFSA GT Tour series today. A sensational race win for Team Speed Car and their #36 Audi R8 LMS ultra.

The Audi squad performed very well earlier today in the two qualifying sessions, with a fine pole position for Sainteloc Racing. In the race the Audis were strong again. The #36 Audi R8 LMS ultra from Team Speed Car crossed the finish line victorious. A great race from their drivers Dino Lunardi and Vincent Abril. They started from position nine on the grid and had impressive pace in the 1-hour sprint race. Dino Lunardi and Vincent Abril took their second victory of the season, after their race win at Spa-Francorchamps a few weeks ago.

The #83 Audi R8 LMS ultra from Sainteloc Racing did really well during race one. The car finished in a very strong fifth, having started way back from sixteenth on the grid.

The pole-sitting #42 Audi R8 LMS ultra from Sainteloc Racing faced bad luck. The car driven by David Hallyday and Gregory Guilvert finished in seventh place, after a very eventful race.

Race 2 is set for tomorrow with live stream coverage available at www.gt-tour.fr.

British GT: Top 10 results for Audi teams in Zandvoort race 1

By Tarek Ramchani

The first of two British GT Championship races in Holland was held today. The two Audi R8 LMS ultra cars were within the top 10.

Earlier today both United Autosports and W Racing Team (WRT) performed well in the two qualifying sessions. In Race 1 the two teams managed to finish within the top 10, in a very demanding field. The best Audi finisher was the #25 R8 LMS ultra, driven by Matt Bell and Mark Patterson, in seventh place. They recovered very well as they started from position sixteenth of the grid. Matt Bell had very strong pace after taking over the car from Mark Patterson in the second part of the race.

The other Audi entry, the #5 R8 LMS ultra managed by the Belgians from WRT, finished ninth. The car driven by Warren Hughes and Rembert Berg had an early problem on lap 4 of the 1-hour race. The car was forced to head to pitlane, losing time and ground to the leaders. The WRT Audi charged back and gained a lot of positions in the field. They finished ninth in the end, a good performance after the bad luck at the beginning of the race.

Race victory went to the pole-sitting #1 Porsche 997 GT3 R from Motorbase. Second was the #888 BMW Z4 GT3 from 888 Optimum Racing and third the #18 Ferrari 458 GT3 from FF Corse.

DMV TCC: Class podiums for two RS Tuning Audi R8 LMS ultra cars at Dijon

By Johan Laubscher

The DMV Touring Car Challenge headed to France this weekend, hosting round seven at Dijon. RS Tuning added a second Audi R8 LMS ultra to their arsenal for the event in France.

Two Audi cars were entered for the Dijon DMV TCC event, two Audi R8 LMS ultra cars from RS Tuning. The team has been running a single orange/white R8 LMS ultra for Suzanne Weidt in recent DMV TCC events, and they have also taken victory with the car in the AvD 100 Meilen at the Red Bull Ring. Both of the team’s cars are in full 2013 Audi R8 LMS ultra specification, with the original 2013 rear diffuser. The second car was driven by Suzanne Weidt this weekend, in a white and pink livery (#88), whilst Weidt’s older car, in the white and orange livery (#8), was driven by Dietmar Haggenmüller.

Qualifying for the first race saw Dietmar Haggenmüller placing seventh overall, fourth in his class. He backed this up by qualifying eighth overall for race two, again fourth in class. Suzanne Weidt qualified thirteenth (fifth in class) and eighteenth (fifth in class) for the two races respectively.

The wet races saw the RS Tuning squad achieving their best DMV TCC Audi results yet. Suzanne Weidt finished race one in sixth overall, taking third place in class 8. Her teammate Dietmar Haggenmüller repeated her success in race two, as he also scored sixth overall, again taking a third place in class for the team.

A great start for RS Tuning’s two car Audi R8 LMS ultra team. The DMV TCC will now be heading to Italy for the penultimate round of the season, which will be hosted at Monza in three weeks time.

Swedish GT: JB Motorsport remains unbeaten in 2013 at Knutstorp

By Johan Laubscher

JB Motorsport and Jan Brunstedt have been unbeaten in the 2013 Swedish GT Championship so far this year, and they continued their winning streak at Knutstorp this weekend.  

Brunstedt has already been crowned as the 2013 Swedish GT driver's champion and now the team is focussing on achieving second place in the driver’s standings with his teammate, Christer Lindholm. The #4 JB Motorsport Audi R8 LMS was driven by Brunstedt at every round this year, but he was also joined in victory by Christer Lindholm on a number of occasions. Lindholm is in the fight for second place in the championship, despite him not having taken part in all of the rounds.

The Swedish GT Championship was at Knutstorp this weekend, the fifth and penultimate meeting of the season. The JB Motorsport Audi R8 LMS was again placed on pole position for the race. They backed up the pole by taking yet another race victory, remaining unbeaten with six victories this year.

Another great result for the JB Motorsport team, with Jan Brunstedt as champion and Christer Lindholm ever closer to clinching second place in the championship.

The final round of the 2013 Swedish GT Championship will be taking place at Mantorp Park in two weeks time.

By Johan Laubscher

The Brazilian GT Championship is at Curitiba this weekend, round five of the season. The Ebrahim Motors Audi R8 LMS ultra team has continued their good form in the series this year.

Ebrahim Motors has had a very consistent season so far and it has been no different this weekend. The #20 Ebrahim Motors Audi R8 LMS ultra is driven by Wagner Ebrahim and Fábio Ebrahim.

They have traded times with the #16 Lamborghini all weekend long, with the Ebrahim brothers taking second place in free practice one and topping the time sheets in session two. Qualifying yielded a similar result. The #16 Lamborghini of Allam Khodair and Marcelo Hahn claimed pole for race one, followed by Wagner Ebrahim taking position two on the grid. The rivals again swapped places during the second qualifying session, as Fábio Ebrahim took pole position ahead of the #16 Lamborghini. The qualifying results can be seen HERE.

The first race will take place later on Saturday, followed by race two on Sunday. We wish the best of luck to the Ebrahim team to continue their good form.

VLN: Successful rollout for LMS Engineering Audi TT RS

By Johan Laubscher

LMS Engineering conducted a successful rollout at the Nürburgring today. This was the first track test for their #1 Audi TT RS and its two litre five cylinder turbocharged engine.

After overcoming early season setbacks, LMS Engineering completed successful dyno testing this week, followed by a successful rollout. Their SP3T Audi TT RS was seen at the Nürburgring today, where the team tested the car on track for the first time.

LMS Engineering has developed a two litre version of the five cylinder turbo TT RS TFSI engine, allowing it to compete in the SP3T class in the VLN Championship. A few of these Audi Sport customer racing TT RS cars have been converted to run in the SP3T class (two litre turbo) versus the original specification in the SP4T class (two and a half litre turbo). The Raeder Motorsport and Møller Bil Motorsport TT RS cars are current examples of these SP3T versions, which are currently competing in the VLN. The LMS Engineering SP3T version will be the first variant with a five cylinder engine, the other SP3T TT RS examples are based on four cylinder two litre power plants. 

It is great to see the LMS Engineering TT RS progressing well, and the car certainly sounds fantastic in the video embedded below. The team has mentioned their intentions of taking part in the next VLN event, which will be taking place next weekend (14 September).

DTM: Audi ready for final sprint in DTM title fight

Audi Press Release

•          Mike Rockenfeller travels to Oschersleben as leader of the standings
•          Timo Scheider has won at venue near Magdeburg twice before
•          Head of DTM Dieter Gass: “Aiming for a solid team performance”

Ingolstadt, September 6, 2013 – Round eight now marks the beginning of the hot phase in the battle for the DTM title. Audi driver Mike Rockenfeller is traveling to Oschersleben (September 13 to 15) with an advantage of 35 points. The squad from Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm is banking on a strong team performance in the final sprint of the season.

Mike Rockenfeller and his brand colleagues have fondest memories of the 3.696-kilometer track near Magdeburg – first and foremost, Timo Scheider. He has contested a total of 13 races at Oschersleben before and thus holds the top mark in the current driver field. Scheider won the race at Oschersleben in his two championship-winning years of 2008 and 2009. Mattias Ekström entered his name on the winners’ list in 2011 and Mike Rockenfeller, in his second race, celebrated his first-ever DTM podium position there in May 2007.

Now the 29-year-old German is traveling to Oschersleben as the leader of the standings. The parameters before the race are positive: Rockenfeller has a 35-point advantage over his closest rival Christian Vietoris and 75 points are yet to be awarded. If Rockenfeller consecutively scores again in the eighth race he will be able to create an optimum starting base for the remaining two races at Zandvoort and Hockenheim.

Since the DTM’s comeback in 2000 the circuit at Oschersleben has been a venue on the series’ calendar of events and has made for thrilling races on numerous occasions. A notorious track section is the narrow left-right combination at the end of the start-finish straight, which is conducive to extremely close maneuvers. Aside from the finish straight, the back-straight offers a good opportunity for using the Drag Reduction System (DRS) that flattens the rear wing flap angle when the driver pushes a button on the steering wheel. Ideal for the fans is the total view of the infield from several grandstands, which assures that they will not miss any of the actions by the DTM race drivers.

Tickets for all DTM races of the 2013 season are available at www.audi-motorsport.com/dtm. In many countries of the world fans can watch qualifying and the race live on the DTM’s YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/dtmint.

In Germany, ARD will broadcast live on ‘Das Erste:’ qualifying on Saturday (September 14) starting at 14:30 and the race on Sunday (September 15) starting at 13:15.

Quotes by the officials

Dieter Gass (Head of DTM): “We’re looking toward Oschersleben with excitement. So far, we’ve been showing a consistently good performance this season and have always been far at the front with at least one driver. Building on this and putting as many cars as possible into the top group through a solid team performance has got to be the aim.”

Hans-Jürgen Abt (Team Director Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline): “We’re looking forward to Oschersleben. The track has suited our car well in the past and our drivers have clinched many victories there. We’d like to continue this and thus support Mike (Rockenfeller) in his battle for the DTM title as well.”

Ernst Moser (Team Director Audi Sport Team Phoenix): “Thinking of Oschersleben primarily brings back positive memories of this track. Mike (Rockenfeller) has mounted the podium there before and Miguel (Molina) has been on pole there once as well. Thus, I’m confident that we’ll be in contention in the race again.”

Arno Zensen (Team Director Audi Sport Team Rosberg): “We used the summer break to take a breather and to tackle the last three races with new momentum. My squad is looking forward to Oschersleben: New game, new luck.”

2012 flashback: Audi without racing luck

Following the commanding one-two-three victory in the previous round at Zandvoort, Audi occupied positions six, eight, nine and ten after having suffered a lot of misfortune on the starting lap. In front of 71,000 spectators, Mike Rockenfeller, in sixth place, was the best-placed Audi driver. Mattias Ekström stopped at the start and dropped from fifth to 19th place. Afterward, he was the fastest driver in the field some of the time, recovered one position after another and advanced into the points again. In the end, Ekström took eighth place. Filipe Albuquerque, in ninth place, scored two points. One point, for tenth place, remained for Timo Scheider.

Timo Scheider about Oschersleben: “There’s hardly any other track in my book that combines so many different characters of turns. With the artificial braking chicane in turn 1 an additional opportunity for overtaking has been created. The ultra-fast right-left-right chicane on the other side of the track eats a lot of material but also requires great sensitivity. If you run the curbs a bit too hard you might damage the car or careen off the track. There’s a slow hairpin, an ultra-long 180-degree turn, a fast and a slow chicane and in the infield there’s even a banked corner. I’ll never forget the day of my first DTM victory at Oschersleben in 2008 – that’s when a big load came off my chest after all those years. All this combined makes Oschersleben so special for me.”

VLN: LMS Engineering Audi TT RS progressing well

By Johan Laubscher

LMS Engineering was set to compete in the 2013 VLN with a new Audi TT RS, but various setbacks prevented them from taking part, but the team is now progressing very well with their car.

The #1 LMS Engineering Audi TT RS was presented earlier this year, but supply problems regarding critical drive train components resulted in the team unfortunately withdrawing their initial VLN entry. Since then the team has been working very hard and they have also acquired the required parts. In recent weeks they have revealed photos and videos of their new engine. The car and engine were tested together for the first time this week, with successful dyno runs. The team is now ready to begin further testing and their first rollout with the Audi.

LMS Engineering has developed a two litre version of the five cylinder turbo TT RS TFSI engine, allowing it to compete in the SP3T class in the VLN Championship. A few of these Audi Sport customer racing TT RS cars have been converted to run in the SP3T class (two litre turbo) versus the original specification in the SP4T class (two and a half litre turbo). The Raeder Motorsport and Møller Bil Motorsport TT RS cars are current examples of these SP3T versions, which are currently competing in the VLN. The LMS Engineering SP3T version will be the first variant with a five cylinder engine, the other SP3T TT RS examples are based on four cylinder two litre power plants. 

It is very exciting to hear that LMS Engineering are progressing well with their TT RS, especially after their setbacks earlier this year. Hopefully the beautiful #1 TT RS will be seen on track very soon.  

Update: LMS Engineering conducted their rollout at the Nürburgring on Friday afternoon.

Fitness Friday| Maxinutrition Protein Milk Review

 

You may or may not know I am a massive fan of protein. No I am not a body builder, nor am I looking to bulk up… in fact I am after the opposite… I want to lose weight and gain toned muscles. However I know that protein is perfect for those wanting to do this also, it’s not just for body builders…. protein is important for not only muscles but your bones, skin and hair! Protein should be one of the most important food groups in your diet, like carbs they are great for filling you up, however they don’t have the negatives, it has less sugar and doesn’t make you bloat like carbs do for some people like me.

I try to get protein in every single meal of mine, I don’t over do it, as there is no benefit in over eating protein, but I find that little and often is best for me. On a typical day I will have spinach in my breakfast smoothie, nuts for snacks, eggs in my salad, peanut butter on everything and anything and I eat chicken pretty much every day.

The biggest issue of mine was my desire to find a suitable protein drink or shake. I had previously tried the Maxitone Sculptress Powder but wasn’t happy with the huge list of ingredients in it as I like to eat as clean as possible, so when Maxinutrition got in contact and ask if I would like to try their Maxinutrition Protein Milk* I jumped at the chance. This pre-packed, premade protein drink was exactly what I was after; something I can grab on the go, have as a snack and use to refuel after my evening workouts.

Maxinutrition says that “Protein Milk is packed full of protein to keep your muscles in tip top shape. It contains a blend of skimmed milk proteins and is virtually fat free with no added sugar. It’s a great option for an on the go refreshing drink. Perfect for anyone looking to meet their general protein needs.”

I absolutely love Maxinutrition’s Protein Milk! I have been having it at different times during the day as it really is a great go to snack. I have one in my bag at all times and a couple in my desk drawer. As you don’t need to refrigerate them they really are very versatile and the perfect go to drink. I usually have mine after my workout to repair my muscles and with only 135 calories per drink it is completely guilt free! However they are ideally suited for a quick breakfast paired with a banana or a snack during the day. I could not recommend these enough!

Have you ever tried Maxinutrition Protein Milk? What other quick and easy protein drinks would you recommend?

Talk show......Really

The bosses at MSNBC in their wisdom.

Have given Alec Baldwin his own talk show.

Which will debut in October.

Can hardly wait.

FLOP.........

FEMEN is now Bare-ass Nekkid!

In case you hadn't heard, the infamous Ukrainian feminist protest group Femen (they of the political titties!) is masterminded and controlled almost entirely by a man. Gasp! That man's name is Victor Syvatski, and he has been "exposed" in a recent documentary film made by a woman. Surely, this movie strips away many false impressions. Read about it here:

http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/the-man-who-made-femen-new-film-outs-victor-svyatski-as-the-mastermind-behind-the-protest-group-and-its-breastbaring-stunts-8797042.html

Naturally, feminists have opinions about this recent development. The following, posted at the Feminist Current blog, may be of interest. Curiously, this is one case where I find myself agreeing with feminists. That is, I agree that Femen is not a good strategy for feminism in the long run - it is objectively bad for feminism. Three-quarters of what the author says here sounds about right to me, and if I were the Fidelbogen equivalent of a feminist I probably could have written this myself:

Rolex Series: Fall-Line Motorsports Grand-Am Rolex team confident for Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca

Fall-Line Motorsports Press Release

Buffalo Grove, IL (September 4, 2013) - The Fall-Line Motorsports GT program is coming off a strong finish at Kansas Speedway where just a few short weeks ago the team and their Audi R8 captured a top-5 finish in only their fifth race with the newly-formed GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series team. 

This weekend at the Continental Tires Sports Car Festival at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, the team aims to improve upon that 5^th place finish and put the #46 B+ Foundation/ Fall-Line Motorsports Audi R8 GRAND-AM on the podium with the duo of drivers Al Carter and Bryan Sellers teaming up for the two-hour-forty-five minute race.

Carter, who hails from Greenville, Del., has driven the Audi R8 at two previous events this year; first at Watkins Glen and most recently at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He has been extremely busy at the racetrack getting lots of seat time every chance he can get. He recently drove a four-hour endurance race at New Jersey Motorsports Park and then followed it up with the American Le Mans event in Baltimore last weekend.

Bryan Sellers has been equally as busy, racing last weekend against his teammate this weekend in Carter at Baltimore. Sellers drove the Audi R8 for the first time at Kansas Speedway just over two weeks ago and ran very strong, turning the third fastest lap of the race.

As the Fall-Line Motorsports GRAND-AM GT program continues to excel due in part to the support of Audi Sport Customer Racing, the last two races on the 2013 schedule will be their best. Finishing up the season strong and showcasing the performance of the R8 and the talents of the drivers and team has been the short-term objective and the team is determined to meet those lofty goals.

Al Carter: "I am pulling double duty for Fall-Line this weekend, so I am preparing myself for a busy and exciting weekend. Without points as a concern, and Fall-Line having several races with the Audi R8 under their belt, we will be driving hard for a podium finish."

Bryan Sellers: "It will be easy to roll into the race with Al (Carter) and get a good rhythm.  We are very familiar with each other as Fall-Line teammates and I am looking forward to driving with him in the B+ Foundation Audi. At Kansas, we learned a lot about the race-ability of the car and where we need to improve that. We have also been afforded a B.O.P. [Balance of Performance adjustment] from GRAND-AM that should improve the racecar. I am looking forward to getting back into the B+ Foundation/Fall-Line Audi and seeing the differences."

Michael Harvey, Team Manager: "Since Kansas the Fall-Line crew has been extremely busy preparing for the last two events of 2013. With great support from Audi Sport Customer Racing we have made great strides in better understanding the package we have and head to Laguna looking to better our 5th place from the last event. I am excited for both Bryan and Al to drive together as we aim for the podium."

The Continental Tire Sports Car Festival-Rolex Sports Car Series at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, California is scheduled for Sunday, September 8th at 5p ET and will be broadcast LIVE on Fox Sports 1.
