Martin in for Silverstone?

There's a dark horse if ever I saw one.

Martin will have a grid penalty from Monaco so Silverstone may not be so good.

**chunterer** · 7 Jun 2009, 21:03 (Ref:2477259)

Yes, of course but a certain Salvador Duran proved last year that a lot of overtaking is possible at Silverstone, and, there's 2 races.

Interwetten.com have also announced today that GP2 racer Michael Herck will be driving for them in three of the next four events (Hungary, Silverstone and Portimao) replacing Mihai Marinescu.

Here's an interesting little development... Guillaume Moreau returns to the World Series to partner Anton Nebylitskiy at SG Formula. I guess that explains the reason why he recently left the Luc Alphand Aventures team in the FIA GT Championship then.

Of course, he cut short his last foray into the series in 2008 when he left KTR after the ninth race of the year in Hungary when it became apparent he wouldn't be able to challenge for the title.

If anybody wants / need some tickets drop me a PM and I'll post them on - I have 4, but have now entered my first stage rally so can't be there.

**ghinzani** · 30 Jun 2009, 10:23 (Ref:2493830)

Ditto with me, I have 4 available but now cant go due to work clashes. PM me if you want them and I will get them in the post.

So who will replace Alguersuari after Le Mans now?

**bella** · 13 Jul 2009, 17:21 (Ref:2500968)

logic says ricciardo on the non clashing weekends surely...

Maybe Wickens could return but again on non clashing F2 weekend though?

Bourdais?

Or maybe we should find a 12 year old to have a go in WSR the speed these drivers are being rushed in these days.

Soon, if you've not won an international karting championship by the time you're five, you can kiss the Formula 1 dream goodbye - you'd be lucky to be in Sportscars for your early twenties, and if you're really old - say 30 - maybe you can race your twilight years in NASCAR!

sauber11 · 13 Jul 2009, 20:10 (Ref:2501115)

The problem for redbull-junior team increased as Hartley will drive in euroF3 instead of WSR this weekend.
Ricciardo for sure will drive at Algavre with Carlin in WSR(2 august) to learn the car and what more important the track ( 13 september BF3 meeting).

But anyway on 19 july and 20 september we have all meetings( euroF3,BF3,F2 and WSR) in the same time so its very interesting how they will manage this.

runshaw · 13 Jul 2009, 20:31 (Ref:2501131)

I don't suppose Carlin have to have a Red Bull Junior do they? To be honest I think they should pull the plug on Hartley's F3 season and put him in WSR full time, because he was doing one more year of F3 simply to win the title, yet he is nowhere. So he could do with experience 'higher' up in preparation for a full season of WSR or GP2 in 2010.

Driver changes for Le Mans this weekend: Edoardo Mortara will join Tech 1 Racing alongside Charles Pic, because of Brendon Hartley's clashing F3 Euroseries round at Zandvoort, and Dani Clos will drive for Epsilon Euskadi. It doesn't say who Clos is replacing, but I fear it is Chris van der Drift as he's been struggling for money all year and, AFAIK, he was even on some sort of race-by-race deal with the team due to his lack of funds.

That would be a shame if that's the case, and Chris had a shocker at Silverstone as well.

I don't suppose there's a Superleague meeting on is there? then it would mean Valles being temporarily replaced

**bella** · 14 Jul 2009, 11:37 (Ref:2501498)

yes there is a superleague meeting... there's bf3 at donington, f3 euroseries at zandvoort, superleague at zolder and wsr at le mans. it's quite the weekend..!

WSR Fan · 14 Jul 2009, 12:03 (Ref:2501516)

And there's another one - Cristiano Morgado replaces John Martin at Comtec Racing for the Le Mans round, due to Martins' Superleague commitments.

jab · 20 Jul 2009, 11:35 (Ref:2504764)

Alguersuari to continue in WSR alongside F1

Curious decision. It'll be interesting to see if it affects his form. Funnily enough, the guy he's replacing tried to balance F1 and sportscar commitments and was believed to be affecting his performances

sauber11 · 21 Jul 2009, 08:08 (Ref:2505255)

Daniel Ricciardo at Portimao for Tech1
http://italiaracing.net/notizia.asp?id=24181&cat=5

Was right about him - learing track for british f3 round later.

WSR Fan · 28 Jul 2009, 16:42 (Ref:2510056)

http://www.italiaracing.net/notizia.asp?id=24277&cat=5

Alberto Valerio to race for Comtec Racing this weekend in Portimao, obviously to learn the track for the GP2 finale their in September.

JamesRamone · 29 Jul 2009, 08:07 (Ref:2510519)

Hello WSR Fan - Can you still bet with Interwetten on the WSR?

If so, have you had any successes? I seem to remember you had Parente to win the other season.

nycuk · 17 Aug 2009, 12:12 (Ref:2522933)

Greg Mansell has left Ultimate with immediate effect

sauber11 · 17 Aug 2009, 15:00 (Ref:2523051)

http://italiaracing.net/notizia.asp?id=24472&cat=5
He leaves from Ultimate to Comtec.

strider · 17 Aug 2009, 15:08 (Ref:2523054)

I'm not surprised. Greg is like his father in more ways than one, e.g if you're not winning races it has to be someone else's fault, not your your own.

It's a shame because he does have a small degree of talent

nycuk · 17 Aug 2009, 17:43 (Ref:2523134)

My impression is the same as yours, Strider. The Mansells don't appear to be a good fit anywhere.
