FIA WTCC TEST IN MONZA Live timing

Blackadder · 21 Mar 2006, 10:26 (Ref:1555595)

Does anyone know if there will be live timing for Monza test?

ATF · 21 Mar 2006, 11:10 (Ref:1555627)

The live timing section on the official WTCC site doesn't appear to be working and for some reason, MST Timings no longer has ANY WTCC results!
So I don't know really!

Here's the schedule for testing:

Quote:

Tuesday 21 March
10.10 – 11.10 FIA WTCC – testing
14.55 – 15.55 FIA WTCC – testing
17.00 – 18.00 FIA WTCC – testing

Wednesday 22 March
10.10 – 11.10 FIA WTCC – testing
14.00 – 15.00 FIA WTCC – testing
17.00 – 18.00 FIA WTCC – testing

And here's the top 10 in the first test (from fiawtcc.com):

1. Farfus
2. Priaulx
3. Morbidelli
4. Tavano
5. Rydell

6. Jorg M
7. Dirk M
8. Menu
9. Huff
10. Thompson

Dani Filth · 21 Mar 2006, 11:18 (Ref:1555633)

plenty of Alfas in the top 4

ATF · 21 Mar 2006, 11:30 (Ref:1555638)

Good to see Alfa, BMW, SEAT AND Chevy all in the top 10 - I think especially Chevy have done a fantastic job to improve the car so much and I'm looking forward to some close racing this year!

Anyone seen an entry list anywhere?

Alfa's home circuit

ATF · 21 Mar 2006, 16:00 (Ref:1555821)

Second testing session underway now, anyone got the live timing working?!

j_t_8_8_8 · 21 Mar 2006, 17:55 (Ref:1555895)

Second and Third Session, under the rain

1. Farfus 2:13.681
2. Huff (but deleted for cutting a chicane)
3. Colciago (JAS Honda)
4. Dirk Muller
5. Priaulx
7. Tarquini
9. Terting
10. Thompson

I hope Colciago will get the second seat at J.A.S., at least in Monza

He will maybe drive a KMS Audi in STCC. I think Colciago is the "official" test driver of JAS but I am afraid Colciago/JAS has not the budget to do a full WTCC season.

SALEEN S7R · 21 Mar 2006, 21:00 (Ref:1556080)

Intresting to see that the new BMW's havent blown everyone away like Alfa Romeo seemed to think they would. Also good to see Chevrolet up inside the top 10, I wonder if we could see some 4 way manufacturer battles this season, for the podium anyway, cant see Chevrolet taking a win this year unless there is some sort of big accident.

Dani Filth · 21 Mar 2006, 21:08 (Ref:1556088)

it was a wet test .. don't think today was very relevant ..
hopefuly tomorow will be dry

Valker · 22 Mar 2006, 09:45 (Ref:1557412)

If I understood Estonian text, also Markko Märtin (Hartmann Honda Racing) and Martin Jensen (Peugeot Sport Danmark ) were testing yesterday, but their names aren't on FIAWTCC.com results...

How ever, Märtin was the fastest DTC driver. About 0.5s faster than Peugeot(s).

E46 · 22 Mar 2006, 17:47 (Ref:1557614)

1. Andy Priaulx BMW 2:00.688
2. Jorg Müller BMW 2:01.247
3. Marcel Costa BMW 2:01.396

Not bad for an Alfa track.

Dani Filth · 22 Mar 2006, 18:25 (Ref:1557632)

last year the pole time was 1m59.009 .. are the new tyres slower ??

Seems like the SEATs and Chevys have faded a bit on day 2 but we don't know what they're testing. Also, Tarquini was ill so get well soon Gabriele!

SALEEN S7R · 22 Mar 2006, 19:19 (Ref:1557678)

Good to see that BMW so far arent dominating, whether it be in the wet or the dry.

Wouter_wh · 23 Mar 2006, 00:11 (Ref:1557916)

Looks like BMW and SEAT are not showing everything they got...I can't imagine that the SEAT Toledo of Tom Coronel is such a quick car.... And I don't think the Alfa's will be this dominant during the Monza race-weekend.

There were two Danish Accords and one Danish Peugeot testing on both days. Jensen spun in Parabolica on the second day without any damagae. Marko was slowly building confidence, he didn't seem very keen on taking big risks. As he said his first in a touring car in Monza and in the rain was some challenge.

I might have missed some crucial WTCC-news that would explain it, but... where are the Fords?

They have just built the car and developed it, but thay gave no money to Hotfiel in 2005, nor will do in 2006. So, Ford is not really leaving, but looking at things with realism, it's just the same thing, because there will only be some independents with the Focus, teams that won't have any kind of help from Ford...

So Ford thinks the car is competative, I (and the rest of the world) think it's not.

Maybe Hotfiel will enter German Procar with some Fords? There will be one Ford in STCC.
