flexible-flyer : always supporting adam when he's having a thinking with trousers moment

so that's another pla win then... good to see another winner in jani though.

adam will have to get his act together if im to carry on supporting him. he was visibly slow coaching his way through that race. he only seemed switched on when there was cars left right and centre and he was racing. once things calm down he just goes backwords...this isnt the adam carroll i used to know. this is a slow coach.

topgirl · 30 Jul 2005, 14:13 (Ref:1367328)

Does anyone know if the race is shown live on eurosport tomorrow? Ive flicked through Sky tv guide and it shows it on later. Is it on live anywhere?

Kidzer · 30 Jul 2005, 14:15 (Ref:1367333)

It should be on Eurosport around 9am UK time.

I think.

"Another Pla win"???
Is Carroll who will start at pole tomorrow!!!

flexible-flyer · 30 Jul 2005, 14:25 (Ref:1367356)

if carroll did finish 8th (which if he did would mean kirby was probably still thinking there was a race going on after the flag) then carroll is on pole however pla's car is ten times faster than adam's this weekend and im 100% sure carroll will go backwords in the race just like he was doing today.

**bella** · 30 Jul 2005, 14:27 (Ref:1367362)

pla going on recent form has the better chance regardless of who's on pole...

topgirl · 30 Jul 2005, 14:31 (Ref:1367367)

On the GP2 website it has negrao finishing 8th

Mekola · 30 Jul 2005, 14:32 (Ref:1367369)

About the race: very sad to see first Álvarez, and rather López, go on points and forced to abandon. I regret deeply that.
Congrats for Jani's first GP2 win, but not for his team. Racing Engineering didn't the most honest way to make a budget, I think, when they won a pulse for a main sponsor with a rival GP2 team, mostly when that rival team needed more that main sponsor than RE. Despite I recognize the interest of His Highness the count of Orléans-Borbón about Ricardo Risatti IV and I thank you for his support (Risatti has won in Spanish F3 this year).

flexible-flyer · 30 Jul 2005, 14:32 (Ref:1367370)

doesnt surprise me as a snail could overtake carroll in that race he was patheticly slow.

Mr Jinxx · 30 Jul 2005, 14:36 (Ref:1367379)

Adam struggling and Pantono at the front again. Almost as though they've swapped chassis.

rdjones · 30 Jul 2005, 15:10 (Ref:1367443)

I caught the last 20 laps of the race on Eurosport and there was quite a lot of action and over taking, its 1st time I have caught any of the GP2. I'll be tuning in again for sure.

strider · 30 Jul 2005, 15:31 (Ref:1367484)

It was an amazingly good race, particularly at that circuit. The results seem to be:

1. Jani - Racing Engineering 1h 11:11.253
2. Kovalainen - Arden International + 0.430
3. Pantano - Super Nova International + 1.739
4. Premat - ART Grand Prix + 7.302
5. Rosberg - ART Grand Prix + 10.471
6. Viso - BCN Competicion + 10.579
7. Pla - DPR + 11.278
8. Negrao - Hitech Piquet Sports + 21.110
9. Carroll - Super Nova International + 23.036
10. Bruni - Coloni Motorsport + 33.223
11. Garcia - Racing Engineering + 39.431
12. Lapierre - Arden International + 1 Lap
13. Yoshimoto - BCN Competicion + 1 Lap
14. Artam - iSport International + 2 Laps
15. Piquet Jr. - Hitech Piquet Sports + 5 Laps

However, I can't see Negrao converting the pole he gets for tomorrow into a win, so really it's open to several drivers. Maybe Pla, maybe Viso, maybe one of the more usual front-runners. All good stuff

ART didn't suffer too much from losing their naughty bits...

Kicking-back · 30 Jul 2005, 15:38 (Ref:1367502)

Those results are correct - I just made a typo and had Pla and Negrao the wrong way round.

strider · 30 Jul 2005, 15:43 (Ref:1367509)

Understandable. Carlton Kirby was all over the place as usual and the coverage ended before there was time for a proper results display on the screen.

Kicking-back · 30 Jul 2005, 15:47 (Ref:1367514)

Yes it was another awful performance from Carlton.

**bella** · 30 Jul 2005, 16:24 (Ref:1367549)

crikey.. it's nice to see the gp2 lot don't indulge in that silly touring car thing of slowing down desperately trying to be 10th (or 8th in this case) on the last lap.

strider · 30 Jul 2005, 16:29 (Ref:1367559)

I think it's called motor racing...

Bit fickle aren't we? He had tonnes of bad luck up until today. He wasn't the quickest today but didn't do too badly and when the field bunched up after the safety car, he too full advantage. Don't be so negative.

Absolutely, while obviously being a "nightmare" for everyone who had an incident, Carlton told us it was also "a little bit unstable out there", various drivers were "on the drift", the cars were "bobbling" off corners and some were getting "destabilized". The terminology he uses (especially with Fauzy's spin) suggests he knows absolutely nothing about even the basic principles of motorsport. He's commentating on water polo at the moment I notice... He also informed us Campos Racing used to compete in the Nippon World Series (WHY, oh why, does anyone confuse Formulae Nippon and Nissan?).

Great race though, in the early stages it looked like we were heading for a typical Hungaroring snooze-fest, then all hell breaks loose! Great performance by Premat and Rosberg, bad luck for Speed. Tomorrow should be interesting, it will be interesting to see if Rosberg and Premat can force their way through.

SRF87 · 30 Jul 2005, 18:14 (Ref:1367652)

Given US television executives brilliantly decided to only airing Sunday's sprint race, idiots, I have no idea what happened to Speed. From what little I read, sounds like he started well then f*&#ed up and pitted in the wrong box. I then see he pulled off around lap 18 but don't know why. Can anybody fill me in?

Kicking-back · 30 Jul 2005, 18:17 (Ref:1367656)

That's about right SRF87, looked like a gearbox pronlem that caused him to retire
