Changeable conditions in TOYO TIRES 24H of Dubai

(January 12, 2008) Heavily changeable conditions are in force during the third running of the TOYO TIRES 24H of Dubai. The first slight drizzle set in seven hours into the race, but soon after that, it really was pouring down. Because it hadn’t rained in Dubai for months, the track became extremely slippery, which made it particularly difficult for the competitors. Several times, the clerk of the course neutralised the race by means of a “Code 60”-rule (maximum speed of 60 kph for all competitors), after several drivers had spun off the track. In the early hours of Saturday morning, the Porsche 997 GT3 RSR of the Australian VIP Pet Foods team is leading (Tony Quinn, Klark Quinn, Craig Baird, Jonathan Webb), followed by the Bleekemolens Race Planet Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (Michael Bleekemolen, Sebastiaan Bleekemolen, Jeroen Bleekemolen and Jan Lammers).

In Dubai, rain is quite an unusual phenomenon, and especially in the amounts that fell during the TOYO TIRES 24H of Dubai. According to information from local residents, the last time any meaningful rain showers fell over the Dubai Autodrome was in April last year. The huge amounts of dust, sand, oil and rubber on the track, combined with the rain, made the asphalt extremely slippery. That, in turn, was the reason that numerous drivers spun off the track. The effects were limited to material damage, but for many drivers, racing in the rain, and especially in the dark, was a very exciting new affair. Around one o’clock at night, another outpour came down while the asphalt had difficulties to absorb the huge amounts of water. As a result, there were patches of water all over the track and many drivers had to cope with aquaplaning.

Later during the night, conditions slightly improved, but everywhere, the effects of fatigue became apparent for drivers and team members. The Australian VIP Pet Foods team had none of such problems. The black and yellow-liveried Porsche 997 GT3 RSR with starting number 39 had taken the lead in the overall classification in the sixth hour of the race and had stayed there throughout, apart from a brief pit stop. In the SP1 class for 24-hour specials, the leading car is the Renault Mégane Trophy of Belgian team Delahaye Renault Belgium (Bas Leinders, Stéphane Lemeret, Gregory Franchi, Vincent Vosse, Frédéric Bouvy) in third place overall, the fastest diesel-powered car in the field is the BMW 120D of the Belien Motorsport team (Patrick Belien, Dimitri Cuyvers, Rob Cuyvers en Stefan Verhoeven).

The 3rd edition of the TOYO TIRES 24H Dubai 2008 is won by VIP Petfoods 1

VIP Petfoods has driven 499 laps thats two laps more then de second place car Bleekemolen 1 Race Planet and 5 laps more then the third place car Delehaye 2 Renault Belgium car.

Bei strömendem Regen und etlichen Stunden mit Saftycar-Phasen endete das 24 Stunden Rennen von Dubai.

Für das Team von CR-8 war es ein stressiges Rennen, wegen dem Ärger mit dem Getriebe und dem langen Aufenthalt in der Box.
Aber die Erwartungen des Teamchefs wurden erfüllt, nämlich den R8 über die Ziellinie zu bringen.

Kurz vor dem Rennen wurden ja noch Optimierungen in den Niederlande beim Getriebe gemacht. Wie ich finde, eine Top-Leistung vom Team CR-8.

Von meiner Seite her die besten Glückwünsche !!!!

Endplatzierung:
Der R8 kam in der Gesamtwertung auf den Platz 81. Die Platzierung in seiner Klasse SP2 ist Rang 2.
Er absolvierte insgesamt 113 Runden bei einer Boxenstandzeit von etwas 18 Stunden.
Die beste Rundenzeit betrug 2:15:849 Minuten

Etwas OffTopic, aber für die Freunde von Oettinger sehr intressant.
Der VW Golf V R-TDI vom Team Oettinger RSR, sicherte sich in der Gesamtwertung den 32.Platz, und innerhalb seiner Klasse D1 den 5.Rang. Er war 1:31:50 Std in der Box, die schnellste Runde fuhr er in 2:26:092 Minuten. Insgesamt spulte er 432 Runden in den 24 Std von Dubai herunter.

Auch hier Gratulation an das Team RSR und Oettinger Performance in Friedrichsdorf.

Ich war gestern Nacht zu müde und zu faul das selbst zu übersetzen 8-|

In Anbetracht aber, dass es genug Leser gibt die kein Englisch können und trotzdem gerne wüßten was da geschah hielt ich es heut Nacht 8-| , für angebracht das mit Babelfisch übersetzen zu lassen.

Das geht.
Allerdings hast Du dann das Video im flv.-Format vorliegen.
Dazu brauchst Du den entsprechenden Player.

Ich nutze den hier:

http://flv-player.softonic.de/

Der Rest ist Einfach. Du nimmst die URL des Youtube-Videos und kopierst ihn in die Zwischenablage.
Dann gehst Du auf folgende Seite:

http://keepvid.com

Dort trägst Du oben in der breiten Zeile den Link ein.
Rechts wählst Du im Popup-Menü als Quelle YOUTUBE aus.

Dann klicke auf DOWNLOAD.
Nach kurzer Zeit, steht unter der Zeile ein Downloadlink
Da klickste drauf und sagst SPEICHERN unter.

Den Filename musst noch vergeben, z Bsp.: Boxengasse.flv

Fertig, das Video wird runtergeladen.

Toller Bericht!

Danke für die Infos. Für den R8 war das aber ein einziges Desaster:(

Mfg

Danke!!!

Ja es schaute nicht gut aus mit dem R8. Aber immerhin kam er gut ins Ziel. Ich sprach ja einige Tage zuvor noch mit dem Team-Chef, da hatten ja schon zu Hause Zeitknappheit mit den Modifikationen am Antrieb gehabt. Etwas mehr Zeit für die Vorbereitung und es wäre besser gelaufen.

Aber die nächsten Rennen kommen ja bald, und da läufts bestimmt besser.

Ich fuhr ja beide, R-Tronik und den Handschalter.
Ich geb da Hansi voll recht. Selber schalten macht im R8 viel mehr Spass. Es sei den man bewegt den R8 überwiegend im Stadtverkehr.

Nach der Blamage mit der R-Tronik in Mainz steh ich da auf Kriegsfuß mit der Automatik im R8
