Benelux Benefit

The Premier GRAND-AM iRacing.com Online Sports Car Series already has the longest title among the multitude of online racing series on the iRacing.com service.  But in the wake of the series inaugural season, it may be time to insert two more words into that lengthy title:  Benelux Club. That’s because Benelux Club’s Dave Gelink and András Király not only took home top honors in the mixed class (Ford Mustang FR500s and Riley MkXX) series, they won their titles going away. To say Gelink dominated the pony car class is an understatement.  After all, the Dutchman took 10 wins in 14 starts and finished in the top five every time out, while notching 8 poles to boot.  Although he didn’t lead all the way (Dylan Sharman, Norbert Rebelski and Dániel Sinka) [...]

Two separate DRS zones for Monza

The FIA is to use two independent DRS zones for the first time at the forthcoming Italian Grand Prix. At most venues this year there has been only one zone in which the overtaking device can be deployed during races, but in Montreal and Valencia two areas were set up. At those events the two DRS zones were on consecutive straights, but with a single detection point allowing drivers to trigger their wing flap for both

RJ Says: State of Supercross

As the West Region ends for a while, and East region gets ready to start up ... In 250 West Supercross 2010, Jake Weimer and Trey Canard are showing a lot of confidence right now. I'm very impressed with both of these racers right now. This past race at Anaheim was a good example for both of them.

Series points leader Jake Weimer has a great heat race with a win, even after that heat was red-flagged. Jake had some trouble in the Main Event, but showed his smarts by charging hard the full 15 laps, coming up to eighth at the finish ... that could literally save his season and potentially the championship title.

Trey had some problems in his heat, but came back very strong in the final - he won the 250 Main in Anaheim. That shows a lot of maturity from him as a rider.

I sat with Dr. Wolfgang Srb, President of the FIM Motocross Commission, and he was very impressed with the preparation of everything as well, including the track, especially with the fact that the event was put on with 60 days notice. He thought everything was top notch, and is excited to have the event come back next year.

Tom Cruise test drives F1 car at Willow Springs

Filed under: ,

Tom Cruise F1 test

"I'm not a doctor, but I play one on television." If that line sounds familiar from old television commercials featuring soap opera stars in white coats, bear in mind that the theme extends far beyond the annals of fake medicine. People get mixed up between actors and the characters they play all the time.

Tom Cruise, for example, has driven all sorts of vehicles on the silver screen, from cars to motorbikes to speed boats, often pulling off scarcely believable stunts and feats in the process. But how much of that comes down to camera trickery and special effects, and how much can be chalked up to actual driving talent?

We got a pretty good answer when Cole Trickle himself set the lap record (however short-lived) on Britain's Top Gear, but Cruise wasn't about to stop there. So while David Coulthard and the Red Bull demonstration team were Stateside for a show in Texas, they met the Hollywood mega-star out in Southern California to let him try his hand at driving an Formula One car.

The seven-hour test at Willow Springs started in a road car, where Coulthard and Cruise drove the 2.5-mile track to get a feeling for the layout before the Mission: Impossible star climbed into the F1 car for 24 laps. At the end of the day, Cruise managed a top speed of 181 miles per hour - just four mph off of DC's trap speed - while scrubbing 11 seconds off his first lap - a marked improvement that left Coulthard impressed at Tom's skills.

Stay tuned for video footage when it's released and check out the official snapshots in the gallery for a closer look.

No matter the sophistication of the European bred Grand Touring cars such as the Ferrari GTO and Jaguar XKE with their overhead cam powerplants, the American racing audience was wedded to the guttural sound of massive Detroit pushrod V-8s in the 1960s.
