Back to the Future
Classic Teams Championship Preview Season 2 2012 of the Lotus 79 based Classic Teams Championship (CTC) is just around the corner, and for the first time it will be based upon the 1979 F1 championship season. Team Surtees and Team Hesketh may have disappeared but their places have been taken by Autodelta Alfa Romeo and Team Kauhsen. Back in 1979 Ferrari claimed the manufacturers title (after being pushed all the way by Williams and Ligier) as well as the drivers title with Jody Scheckter. Will history repeat itself? Can five time champion Gernot Fritsche, supported by series returnee Bronislav Robonek and series rookie Sam Winemiller, take Ferrari to both titles? Six to Watch Kalle Ruokola has moved from Brabham to Williams, he is more than capable of unseating Fritsche. He [...]

Bacheta stays unbeaten in F2
Luciano Bacheta took his third Formula 2 victory of the season at Algarve, but his win was anything but straight forward. Starting from pole, Bacheta held the lead at the start, but fellow front-row man Markus Pommer had far too much wheelspin allowing Matheo Tuscher, Kevin Mirocha and David Zhu past. Tuscher was only one second behind Bacheta for the entirety of the race, and in the final few laps brought the gap down to take advantage of the new for 2012 'boost zones', where the drivers can use an extra 75bhp if they are within one second of the driver in front

Paffett wins first race of new-look DTM
Gary Paffett headed Jamie Green to win the opening round of the 2012 DTM at Hockenheim; Mercedes' British drivers taking a one-two finish for the manufacturer. From sixth on the grid, Paffett passed the slow-starting Dirk Werner and Mike Rockenfeller on the opening lap, and then made a superbly-judged move on Edoardo Mortara's Rosberg Audi at the Mercedes Arena shortly afterwards to take third. An error from polesitter Mattias Ekstrom, who ran wide at Turn 2 during the early stages, allowed Paffett's HWA team-mate Green to take the lead, and the 2005 champion then also made it past the Abt Audi three corners later with a neat move.

FIA Institute testing forward roll hoops
Formula 1 cars could be fitted with forward roll hoops in the future, if ongoing tests by the FIA Institute into increased driver protection continue to deliver good results. As part of an extensive research programme conducted in the wake of the crashes suffered by Felipe Massa and Henry Surtees in 2009, the FIA Institute has already evaluated polycarbonate windshields and jet fighter canopies to see if they can offer better driver protection. The latest tests have involved using a titanium roll hoop structure, built by the Lotus team, into which a 20kg F1 wheel is fired at 225 km/h.

Massa boosted by Bahrain performance
Felipe Massa's withered confidence has been boosted by his first points of the season after finishing ninth in the Bahrain Grand Prix, as the Brazilian admitted he is looking forward to the major upgrades Ferrari intends to put on the F12012 before the beginning of the European season. The team has been disappointed with the overall pace of the 2012 machine, in spite of Fernando Alonso's unlikely victory in Malaysia last month, and is expected to bring significant changes to the car for the Mugello test at the beginning of May. Massa, whose own poor performances have been under the spotlight, is hoping that his first points finish and an improved car will help him draw a line under a difficult start to the year.

Charlotte Motor Speedway hosts two rounds of the inRacingNews Challenge during 2012 Season 1: the fifth and the 11th. The latter, the penultimate round of the schedule, saw drivers in all three classes – Pontiac Solstice, SpecRacer Ford, and Mazda MX-5 Roadster – attempting to post a strong week in order to throw out a weaker showing from earlier in the season. With only a driver?s best eight of 12 rounds counting in the final standings, anyone with a strong finish at Charlotte could eliminate an off week and move-up the ranks. Once again, Dylan Sharman paced the Mazda class with 180 points, 35 more than second-place Laurent Beteille. Meanwhile, rookie Omar Soto scored wins in both SRF starts to score an eight point victory on the week over Nicholas [...]

The German built on that by setting the fastest time in practice two at Sakhir, but he was quick to downplay the significance of his lower fuel run.

Former opposition leader backs Bahrain
Jasim Husain, an economist who previously represented Bahrain's leading opposition group Al-Wefaq for five years, insists that holding the Formula 1 race is the right move for the Gulf state. Amid heightened concerns in F1 following news that Force India mechanics were lucky to escape unhurt after a Molotov cocktail landed near their car on Wednesday night, Husain played down opposition to the event. "I can tell you that most people in Bahrain are happy and pleased that F1 is back in Bahrain, given its effects on the economy and the social aspects of it," said Husain, who resigned in protest during last year's anti-government demonstrations

Rahal put on probation for clash
Ganassi driver Graham Rahal has been placed on probation for the next six events after a post-race investigation found him to be responsible for the accident that took himself and Marco Andretti out of Sunday's IndyCar race in Long Beach. Andretti was attempting to pass Rahal on lap 22 when Rahal appeared to move over slightly on the Andretti Autosport car, resulting in Andretti running into Rahal's right-rear wheel and being launched into the air. "Due to the inability of the #38 car to continue the race, a review of the on-track actions of Graham Rahal became a post-race issue," said Beaux Barfield, IndyCar president of competition and series race director.

The Merc?s seating [...]

Mungin Marches Closer to Modified Crown
Giovanni Mungin continues to inch closer to his first NASCAR iRacing.com Tour Modified Series (NiTMS) championship after a strong showing during Week Nine and Ten of the series. When the weekly points were awarded at the Milwaukee Mile and USA International Speedway, it was the championship hopeful besting all his nearest rivals at the top of the charts. Those performances brought him closer to the overall title, something he can see in the virtual windshield with just two weeks remaining in the season. The highest strength of field (sof) race for Round Nine took place on March 29th. The 75-lap online race at the Milwaukee Mile was set at 4293 sof and was so strong that the top five in this race would end up in the top five on [...]
