Superleague Formula - Donington

strider · 21 Jul 2009, 23:59 (Ref:2505796)

For anyone who thinks they want to be deafened at Donington, here's the timetable: http://www.superleagueformula.com/su...3-UK-Programme

It looks like being one noisy weekend!

Rather than continue anything Donington related in the Zolder thread, I thought I'd start a new topic.

Thanks to strider, here is the timetable. I had no idea Historic F1 was there!

However, I saw this posted at italiaracing.net yesterday - which I think says Euroseries 3000 have cancelled their races?

Also, I couldn't find any mention of it, but I just noticed Liverpool are giving away free e-tickets on a first-come, first-served basis; all you do is fill out your details and then get an image to print out (as this only states August 2nd, I guess it won't gain access for Saturday too?)

Cool, i was thinking about going anyway, but a free-entry has just about swung me! Yay!

The Menard V12's they are packing are beasts!

Also, looking at the timetable, Superkarts and Jedi's are ace!

Bloody hell! A bit better supported than last year then

It's confirmed that the Euroseries 3000 races have been cancelled:

strider · 22 Jul 2009, 12:03 (Ref:2506018)

That's a shame, as they are the old A1GP cars, but they weren't my main reason for thinking of going, so it makes no difference.

Looking at the English translation of the article, I think they didn't like the look of the timetable as much as we did. I'd guess they were looking for a more important role.

strider · 27 Jul 2009, 12:58 (Ref:2509177)

This looks like the revised timetable, with Euroseries 3000 out of the way. It's still good.

http://www.v12racing.com/index.php/e...league-formula Big news - Sevilla FC return to the series from this weekend, replacing Al Ain FC - who drop out of the championship despite lying 2nd after Zolder.

Sevilla will be run by the same team (Ultimate) with the same driver (Esteban Guerrieri) as Al Ain.

The same website, V12 Racing, has an unofficial SF magazine available to view for free (http://www.v12racing.com/index.php/en/magazines)

Despite being unofficial, Superleague Formula are actually advertising it on their official Twitter page, so they are embracing it rather than trying to close it down due to copyright, as surely many other series would try to do.

Judging by the work going on yesterday around the circuit it's going to be very well 'dressed' for this event.

I'm no football fan but the prospects of the eclectic mix of races and the noise of the V12s certainly appeals.

Current forecast seems to be suggesting wet for tomorrow but drier on Sunday. That could make it interesting.

Hopefully Scott Mansell's Donington knowledge (though none on the full circuit apparently) will help him to get into the groove quickly on Saturday morning for the Galatasary team. He a fast, smooth driver and a really nice guy and deserves a break.

**gomick** · 31 Jul 2009, 22:31 (Ref:2512810)

How many Mansell's are there?

If we only count the racing drivers, there's the one who was WDC just once (he seriously thinks it should have been six or seven times), his son Greg, who looks and sounds like him, but has been known to beat up his team mate (allegedly) and is currently racing in the WSR with Ultimate Motorsport, and the other son, Leo, who seems a nice lad, but not especially talented and is currently spending his time in GTs and sports cars.

Then there's Scott Mansell, who is no relation, but had some success at glorified club level in big single-seaters a few years ago. I'm sure he's a really nice bloke, but in my opinion is not a top level driver. This weekend may prove me wrong, but I doubt it.

Peat · 1 Aug 2009, 00:43 (Ref:2512867)

Who's Scott Mansell driving for?

Strider: 'glorified club level in big single-seaters'. Bingo!

Ultimate. And yes, it will be interesting to see how Scott goes this weekend, but I don't really see the logic in replacing Duncan Tappy with him.

Peat · 1 Aug 2009, 00:55 (Ref:2512880)

Indeed, Tappy is a handy......er........set of hands?

I'm going up on Sunday just to hear those glorious V12's. The Jedi's and Superkarts should be good too.

Actually,the EuroBOSS series,really historic racing,contested mainly by 'gentleman' drivers+ a couple of ladies.Scott seems to have been inactive for some years-I don't understand how he has found his way in here either-there are many young drivers with a better record?

Can't imagine it has anything to do with Money!!

Mr Pink · 1 Aug 2009, 09:50 (Ref:2513027)

I thought i'd check this series out this weekend, is there a live stream from Donington?

they had to make up the grid using lap times set in the qualifying group a & the qualifying group b.

they couldn't do the shoot-out because of all the rain.

Not sure how you managed to post those times, lauren, except by using Print Screen, but well done anyway.

Sorry to see that after dominating practice Esteban Guerrieri ends up on row 5, but at least Antonio Pizzonia is on pole, I think.
