2012 European GP – Valencia
A Doublemint Race sans the minty taste

Two disclosures as I start this race ramble.

I am a tifosi but Alonso leaves me cold. I am a huge Vettel fan and have been since his first F1 race for BMW filling in for Kubica after his horrific accident.

I really like the city of Valencia. It may not be my favorite spot in Spain but I have enjoyed my time there. I really hate the race held there. I wanted to like it when it was added to the F1 Calendar but since watching the second practice session of the first race I have thought it the pits. The 2012 edition has done little to change my opinion.

The 57 lap 2012 version of the European GP neatly breaks down into two 28 lap races. Sebastian Vettel was the run away winner of the first 28 lap sprint but walks away empty handed after retiring on lap 34. Alonso won the second half and took the top step of the podium to become 2012's first repeat winner.

Vettel dominated the first half of the half of the race. After winning the race to turn three he consistently added a second a lap to his lead. He gave up a few seconds during his pit stops but began adding them back again when he would return.

Webber, Vettel's Red Bull teammate, started the race in P19 but steadily moved up the standings finishing in P4. Newy's improvements to the RB missile for the Valencia race made it a break away car in race trim.

The first 2012 Valencia race ended with Vettel holding over a thirty second lead on P2 as he dove into the pits as the safety car was deployed after an incident between Kovalaenen and Vergne. To this point Vettel had set some fast laps but was not the fast lap holder at the time. His dominate lead was built on consistent lap times. His lead would disappear when he returned to the race and assume the lead of the parade behind the safety car.

Race machines are fragile things and F1 cars particularly so. They are pressed hard on the track and only really slow for a few seconds in the pits. Often they will hold together just fine in race conditions until they are forced to cool down behind an extended yellow flag. This was the case for Vettel in Valencia.

When the safety car pitted Vettel was able to win the race to the first turn but shortly slowed and yielded his lead to Alonso as he retired in disgust from the race. Alonso assumed the lead on lap 34 and held it to the end. In the process he became the first repeat winner of the F1 2012 season.

The tufosi in me wants to say something along the lines that it was a 57 lap race and Ferrari was in P1 at the end of the race. Did the best car win the race? I can't get a couple things out of my mind. Vettel and his Red Bull were able to open and build a lead lap after lap. Alonso was able to establish and defend just under a four second lead in the second half. Webber's race from P19 to P4 reinforces my doubt. At the end of the day I just don't have that doublemint fresh taste in my mouth after the race.

However you second guess or slice and dice it Alonso and Ferrari were the victors in Valencia.

Grosjean in a Lotus was tipped by many to be the eighth different winner for 2012. However, it would be Kimi Raikkonen and his Lotus that would take the second step of the European GP podium. A solid effort by both and fans have to wonder when a Lotus driver will take the top podium step.

Micheal Schumacher may go to bed tonight feeling like the Valencia victor. He finished. That alone is an accomplishment for the former champ. He finished P3 and in the process took his first podium.

Red Bull leaves Valencia leading the Manufacturer Championship standings. In the Driver Championship Vettel drops to fourth after retiring and leaving Valencia empty handed. Webber on the strength of his P4 finish moves to P2 in the driver standings.

Alonso opens up his lead in Driver Championship while Ferrari remains in fourth in the Manufacturer Championship. This standings divergence puts more pressure on Massa. Massa and Kobayashi tangled during lap 33. Kobayashi retired his Sauber and will take a five position grid penalty at the start of the British GP. Massa never fully recovered and finished P15 one lap down to his teammate.

Force India delivered on the pre race hype. Hulkenberg finsihed P5 and di Resta P7 putting both Force India cars in points paying positions.

Who gets the final point for P10 is in doubt as I write this. Williams will get the point but the question is will Maldonado or Senna deliver it for to the team. In the closing laps Maldonado and Hamilton were dueling for position. The two touched and Hamilton was driven into the barrier and retired from the race. Race stewards announced they would investigate the incident after the race. It is very likely the standings will shuffle.

The discussions about money and rules taking place off track take on added importance. Seven different manufacturers placed cars in the top ten points positions. The time spread on the times shown on the results is not fully indicative of the fights taking place during the race that lead to the results. Teams tighten up as a formula nears its end. The current formula is no exception. In the process it has taken eight races to get a repeat winner and the racing behind P1 has been aggressive and close. The new F1 formula rules and budgets continue to be worked on. Lets hope they don't screw the action up in the process.

The British Grand Prix at [url=http://www.formula1.com/races/in_detail/great_britain_872/circuit_diagram.html ]Silverstone[/url] is the next stop for the Formula One circus.

I liked the race today.
The track is a nice layout, very fast for a street circuit.
I prefer natural landscape tracks over street venues, but after Monaco I think Valencia is a good one.

Will be interesting to see what actually failed on both Renault's, if the truth actually is disclosed.

Louis, Louis , Louis ; when will you ever learn that grit and cajones are no substitute for better rubber on the ground. At this level even the lesser mortals do not quake in your presence.
Will be interesting to hear what the stewards have to say about the incident . Especially since he was already under investigation for some yellow flag infraction.

I laughed out loud when Michael Schumacher said he did not know he had a podium finish. Also Alonso's comment about "we had car trouble" when he did not drive back to park ferme'.

NAPCAR is about to begin so i need to get settled in for my Sunday afternoon siesta.:)

I made the Race Update post as the race was starting on Fox. It is the first race I have seen on TV for some time and must admit it was packaged in a very exciting manner. For a variety of reasons I still don't like the venue but no matter where they are held I enjoy a good race and this was a good racing event.

My guess is we will find out 90% of what really happened with Vettel's Red Bull and reasonably assume the rest. The Lotus will be another thing.

The stewards and I are not as hard on Hamilton as you. [url=http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2012/6/13503.html ]Maldonado[/url] was penalized for the crash with Hamilton. I felt he was aggressively but legally defending his then podium position. Yes he had been investigated for a yellow flag violation but he had been cleared and told that by this closing lap incident. Worn out tyres on the McLaren were just to big a temptation for Maldonado and he thought with his right foot instead of his head.

For a variety of reasons it did not surprise me that Schumacher would be confused about the podium finish. Remember he was in P5 when the Hamilton Maldonado accident moved him to the podium. When he came on the scene of that incident my guess he was spending just enough time looking forward while spending more time keeping Webber in his mirrors and safely behind him. I doubt he or his team in the pits knew who was involved in the accident and what it meant to him. Finally I think it is an indication of his age and the effect of the heat and strain of competing at this level of open wheel racing.

Will Vettel's problem be found and cured? How will Webber qualify. Given the first half race dominance if he or his teammate could repeat that performance the tables would be drastically turned once again. The rest of the field is closing up. Ferrari, Lotus, McLaren, Mercedes, Williams, Sauber and now Force India could take the top step if the RB chargers are someway held in check. All in all this should portend a very good race at Silverstone.

FWIW: The stewards did not find fault with Hamilton rather putting the onus on Maldonado for the incident. While I agree with their decision and understand why, in the heat of the battle during a very tight championship season, Hamilton would choose to defend in the last two laps of the race rather than yield, I must admit the judgment of that decision can be put in doubt.

The accusation against Ecclestone comes out of the trial of trial against former [url=http://www.bayernlb.de/internet/de/content/index.jsp]BayernLB[/url] Chief Risk Officer Gerhard Gribkowsky. The verdict in that trial appears very predictable. As a result the defense is in negotiations for a plea bargain. The result has been the accusation, but no formal charge, of Ecclestones participation in the crime.

Rather than a Mercedes F1 exit could this be the end of Bernie Eccelstone's reign as Formula One el Supremo?

Ecclestone can be given the credit/blame for making F1 one of the world's most recognizable sporting series. In the process he has made himself and many others very rich. Love him or hate him, love or hate F1, Ecclestone has been the 'key man' driving force behind F1 for decades. Key Men are the entrepreneurial darlings of the growth phase; Ecclestone and F1 have had a very long growth phase.

While there is no doubt of Ecclestone's continued sense of being driven are those that surround him at the same business point. Or, have the other current share holders in the Formula One Group, potential IPO investors, the FIA and other series participants reached a point where protecting gains is more important than any growth Ecclestone may still be able to deliver?

The pending IPO is the payday for Ecclestone and many of F1's investors. Ecclestone's age along with his role in a post IPO F1 have been open for discussion.

F1 has expanded its world wide basis but remains a European series at its roots. Associated European elegance is the cache holding an F1 race brings to many of the world venues. For local promoters this can be as important as anything on track that actually happens during a race weekend. The European economic crisis looms over every aspect of F1 within the European ring and the ripple effect could be tsunami like as it expands world wide.

The [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Todt]Jean Todt[url] the current head of the FIA has been very quiet. F1 is the association's biggest money maker. The stormy relationship between Ecclestone, the FIA and anyone who has headed it is the stuff of legends. What I have not seen mentioned is the any discussion of the FIA sporting rules. During the Singapore Crash scandal several big paddock names were ousted and banned. French courts overturned those bans on appeal. Subsequently the FIA changed some of its sporting rules to expand the binding code of ethics. The contractual relationship between the FIA as sanctioning body and its designated open wheel racing promoter, The Formula One Group, could be at risk as a result.

The European economic crisis has hit F1. Once promoters and team owners seemed to be able to tell potential sponsors to step aside because their bushel basket of money offered was smaller than the guy behind them.Such is not the case sponsorship for both is becoming increasingly difficult to come by. As result I would suspect investors and participants are looking for ways to consolidate their positions to protect gains and weather the coming economic storm. From the board room to the paddock 'investors' may see Ecclestone as an unnecessary risk to their survival.

Bernie Ecclestone, if nothing else, is a survivor. Mercedes may decide to go through the motions of leaving F1; it has bvfore. Yet I have a growing sense that the back story of what happens to F1 after his departure for any reason is a question of how soon not if and the one F1 fans should be watching.

If memory serves, didn't Bernie transfer all or most of his personal stake in F1 to his wife Slavica a while back ?

Was this before he got involved with Gribowski and the bribery charges that followed ?

I also remember reading somewhere that Bernie and Slavica had split and he was manuvering to get hold on what he had previously thought was protected by transfering it to her.

The plot thickens, could make a good screen play out of it all , and then Bernie can become a movie mogul :)

Graffunder, Redmond, Salvini and Lettenbichler ready for Enduro X! Corona, CA – June 27, 2012 – It’s time again for Summer X Games and the world’s best off-road motorcycle racers are ramping up for the Moto X Enduro X event. The action heats up Sunday, July 1st, when Husqvarna Motorcycles enters the STAPLES Center in downtown Los Angeles with a factory backed team featuring four of the top world-class extreme racers from four different countries, each hopeful of returning home with an X Games medal.[url=https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/pressclub/p/pcgl/pressDetail.html?outputChannelId=6&id=T0127961EN&left_menu_item=node__6785]...[/url]

Haslam wants to break the win duck.
Biaggi is hoping for a breakaway and may well get it.
Melandri will play racer and try to improve on his 2011 performance.

SBK is at Motorland Aragon this weekend.

[b]Ducati 222.5 pts.[/b]
Still on top by a point and a half going into the weekend. Coming out I expect them to be behind but where?

[b]Aprilia 221 pts.[/b]
I expect Aprilia to be on top of the heat when the SBK circus packs up on Sunday. How they do it is the only question. In 2011 Aprilia took four of the six podium steps. Biaggi was P2 in R1 and P1 in R2. I look for Aprilia to be on the podium where is the question.

[b]BMW 197 pts.[/b]
BMW needs a good performance out of its riders. Melandri took a Pi and P2 in 2011 astride a Yamaha. A repeat would be great and improvement even better. Haslam wants to break the duck but needs to improve from a pair of P9 finishes in 2011. His performance this season may lack a win but Aragon seems Haslam friendly. P2 in the manufacture hunt is in reach IF...

[b]Honda 176 pts[/b]
Rea is coming on strong for Honda. After a strong private test at Assen during the break they will be in the hunt but not for the top of the podium.

[b]Kawasaki 170.5[/b]
The last round had Team Green running backwards in the standings. The claim after Aragon tests is they have found the problem with tyre management. If this is the case the Kawasaki is a big threat to the plans of Biaggi, Melandri and Haslam. Podium finishes for them, how high is the question.

[Suzuki 56.5 pts[/B]
Aragon should be a good track for the Suzuki. I don't expect much but hope they give Ducati trouble.

[url=http://motomatters.com/results/2012/06/30/2012_aragon_wsbk_saturday_roundup_superp.html ]motomatters.com[/url]: Aragon WSBK Saturday round up

Sykes took his sixth superpole but that does not add any points to Kawasaki's championship tally. Haslam and Melandri are in good grid positions to win the race to turn 3 and be the leaders after lap one.

Tyres remain the big question for all the racers on Sunday.
Has Kawasaki solved their tyre race duration management problem? My guess is they have improved but the heat and racing conditions will be to much for Sykes and his Kawasaki over the length of a race.
Biaggi has a winning history at Aragon but rides with very aggressive style. Will he use up his rubber attacking or defending before the end of the race? Laverty may be the Aprilia front row rider to watch.
I still have high hopes for the BMW riders. If I had not spent my coffee change on doughnuts this morning I would put my money where my mouth, or keyboard in this case, is.

That move Bautista made taking out himself and Lorenzo in T1, L1 might be the most inept riding display I've ever seen in MotoGP. There was less than a zero chance he could make the corner on that line at that speed that was at least 10 mph bove anyon else on the track at their impact point Even the generally uncritical commentators called him out for the dumb move. A true sportsman would at leat refund his pay for making such a stupid error that embarassed himself and his team.
Wonder what Lorenzo had to say- he didn't look very happy....

MODS= time to break this thread into more manageable bits- loading time has become absurd.

[b]Motorland Aragon Race 1[/b]

Sykes won the race to turn three and lead the first lap. Laverty lead teammate Biaggi followed by BMW's Melandri. Haslam had a terrible start and dropped to P8 from his P4 front row starting position. With two laps complete Laverty overtook Sykes for the lead and during the following lap would be passed by Biaggi and Melandri.

As the third lap closed Biaggi overtook Laverty for the lead. Melandri would pass Laverty as the fourth lap began. By the end of the race Biaggi and Melandri, in a two bike break away, would open a gap of almost 8 seconds over the rest of the field.

Melandri pressured Biaggi. Melandri set fast laps on 6 and 7; however, he seemed to be setting up Biaggi more than trying to pass. The pass would come on lap 12 but Biaggi would regain the lead on the next lap.

Behind them BMW Italia's Badovini had made his way up to P4 and was reeling in Sykes. Over the following laps the gap closed between the two until you could see Badovini testing for a pass. The final attack coming on the last lap proved terminal for both riders. Badovinin appeared to loose the front tyre and clipped Sykes rear taking both out in the process.

In front Melandri continued to pressure Biaggi after giving up the lead back on lap 3. This will no doubt be a great duel to watch on the tube. It was on live timing board. Biaggi consistently turned in greater trap speeds than Melandri but the BMW kept catching the Aprilia hundredth by hundredth. With 5 laps remaining Melandri took the lead and appeared to be opening a bit of a gap. Apparently Biaggi needed to catch his breath and regroup. He began his attack and would regain the lead as the penultimate lap came to a close. Melandri pressed but was unable to recover.

With the Sykes / Badovini crash Checa moved to P3 to take the last step of the Race 1 podium.

In the manufactures championship race results: P1 Aprilia, P2 BMW, P3 to Ducati after the Sykes crash, P4 Suzuki, P 5 Honda. P6 to Kawasaki but they did not have a bike in the races as the checkered flag fell.

This result puts Aprilia with 246 on top of Ducati with 238.5 points. BMW Is in third with 217 well ahead of Honda's 178 points. The Sykes / Badovini crash helped Ducati.

After they turn wrenches and tape up the riders Motorland Aragaon Race 2 will do its best ot mix this up again. Will Melandri trade spots with Biaggi on top as they did last year? What happened with Haslam? Can he recover? Will Sykes be back?

I will have a round up late this evening.

Four BMW M3 DTMs in the top ten, all BMW drivers in Q2 and a happy Augusto Farfus (BR) in third place on the grid: in temperatures reaching 34 degrees Celsius, the BMW DTM teams kept cool heads during qualifying at the Norisring (DE) to secure promising starting positions ahead of the fifth race of the season.

[B]Race 2[/b]

Laverty won the race to turn three and held the lead after lap 1 with Biaggi, Melandri and Davies in tow. These four would form a breakaway pack of three Aprilias and one BMW dueling to the end. The end would not be decided until the last lap. After multiple lead changes Melandri would take the lead in the second interval of the track and hold it for the win.

Rea, the Honda rider many of you love to hate, helped the BMW cause by finishing in P5 ahead of Checa, the first Ducati rider in P7. After the Aragon round the
Manufacturer Standings are:
Aprilia 266 pts
Ducati 247.5
BMW 242
Honda 189
Kawasaki 178.5
Suzuki 63.5

Biaggi leads the rider chart by 48 points. That gives him almost a full race weekend lead over P2 Meladri. Rea Checa Sykes and Haslam follow in that order.

It was an exciting and very successful Sunday for Team BMW Motorrad Motorsport at Motorland Arag??n (ESP). The squad not only celebrated another victory in the FIM Superbike World Championship, but also a second place on the podium and two more fastest race laps. Factory rider Marco Melandri (ITA) won race two after being second in race one, setting the fastest laps in both races on his BMW S 1000 RR. In much cooler conditions than on the previous days, Leon Haslam (GBR) had bad luck with a wrong tyre choice for race one but fought strong battles in race two. He finished seventh and sixth respectively. With these results, the two riders collected 64 points in total for the squad – another team record for BMW Motorrad Motorsport.

The lights went out to signal go at Alca??iz's MotorLand Arag??n for the eighth World Superbike round Sunday races. Ayrton Badovini finished race one in the gravel after fighting to the last lap for a third position finish, while Michel Fabrizio finished sixth after an outstanding recovery. The two BMW Motorrad Italia GoldBet Superbike Team riders finished race two in ninth and eleventh places respectively. Lorenzo Baroni took a third podium step finish in the FIM Superstock 1000 Cup race, scoring his second consecutive top-three finish this season so far. Sylvain Barrier could not complete the race due to a crash and consequent retirement three laps later.

The day after its victorious appearance at Motorland Arag??n, Team BMW Motorrad Motorsport went on track again at the Spanish venue.

When BMW Motorrad extended the GS family with an entry-level and medium category in 2007 in the form of the F 650 GS and the F 800 GS, there was no doubt as to the message: lots of riding fun based on light, safe controllability over all surfaces, plenty of drive power and endurance on trips - even when there are only gravel tracks left to get you where you're going. A concept in two versions which many motorcycling fans responded to enthusiastically. BMW Motorrad now continues this chapter of the GS success story with the updated versions of these two successful enduro models: the F 700 GS and F 800 GS. As always, BMW Motorrad has faced the challenge of taking something that is already good and making it even better, consistently focusing on building on the characteristic strengths of the GS in refining the concept.

The success story continues: the fourth round of the International German Motorcycle Championship (IDM) at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg (AUS) was once again dominated by the BMW teams receiving direct assistance from BMW Motorrad HP RaceSupport. They monopolised the podium after both races in the IDM Superbike class and continued the run of victories enjoyed by the BMW S 1000 RR in this fiercely competitive championship.

TodayÔÇÖs stars and heroes from the past, historic and modern race vehicles: Last weekend, the ÔÇ£Goodwood Festival of SpeedÔÇØ again lured over 100.000 fans to Goodwood House near Chichester (GBR). The colours of BMW Motorrad were this time represented by brand ambassador Troy Corser (AUS). The two-time Superbike World Champion was taking the legendary 1976 BMW R 90 S on track at the famous motorsports event.

Motorcycling and safety - these two words are inseparably linked as far as BMW Motorrad is concerned. For decades now, BMW Motorrad has established a pioneering role for itself when it comes to issues of safety in connection with motorcycling. Thanks to its powerful innovative strength, which continues unabated to this day, an integrated approach to safety has been developed which is firmly anchored within corporate strategy and covers all areas of motorcycling.

"Safety 360??" ÔÇô an integrated approach to motorcycling safety.
Motorcycling and safety - these two words are inseparably linked as far as BMW Motorrad is concerned. For decades now, BMW Motorrad has established a pioneering role for itself when it comes to issues of safety in connection with motorcycling. Thanks to its powerful innovative strength, which continues unabated to this day, an integrated approach to safety has been developed which is firmly anchored within corporate strategy and covers all areas of motorcycling. The "Safety 360??" principle adopts a universal perspective, breaking down the topic into three facets:
Safety technology in the vehicle itself,
Safety derived from rider equipment
Safety derived from rider training.

BMW Motorrad ABS available as standard in all models from now on.
Increasing importance is attached to the issue of safety in public and political debate. As a leading motorcycle manufacturer, BMW Motorrad has always been aware of its social responsibility in this connection. In 1988 the company presented the world's first serial production motorcycles with the antilock brake system ABS - the most effective technical safety bonus to this day.
The next logical step follows now: from model year 2013, BMW Motorrad will be offering ABS as a standard feature in all models. The company is being proactive here, significantly pre-empting the requirement for ABS likely to be introduced in 2016 for all newly registered motorcycles in Europe. The first new models in which this measure is to be applied are the 2-cylinder models BMW F 700 GS and BMW F 800 GS.[url=https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/pressclub/p/pcgl/pressDetail.html?outputChannelId=6&id=T0127928EN&left_menu_item=node__2295# ]...More[/url]

In the summer of 2012, Felix Baumgartner will attempt a record-breaking freefall jump from 120,000 feet - 23 miles - above the earth as part of Red Bull Stratos: a mission to the edge of space. The attempt will take place near Roswell, NM, USA, and if successful, Felix Baumgartner could be the first person to break the speed of sound with his own body, protected only by a space suit. As no one has successfully jumped from this height before, it's uncertain what the highest supersonic freefall in history will look or feel like. This animated video gives us a sense of what to expect when the history-making jump takes place later this summer when the weather is best for a launch. A live webcast of the Red Bull Stratos 120,000 foot freefall will air on

Two weeks after the dramatic race at the Norisring (DE) street circuit, things are set to get even tighter for the BMW DTM drivers: they will be going flat out round a short, winding circuit in the Olympic Stadium in Munich (DE) on 14th and 15th July. The DTM made its debut in the stadium in 2011 and was well received by thousands of thrilled fans. The event was won by Bruno Spengler (CA), who now drivers for BMW Team Schnitzer. Now the series is returning to the home of BMW. [url=https://www.press.bmwgroup-sport.com/pressclub/p/sp/pressDetail.html?outputChannelId=52&id=T0128342EN&left_menu_item=node__7146 ]....More[/url]

BMW Motorrad ABS available as standard in all models worldwide. Dynamic and Touring packages for the BMW F 800 R. [/url]

A number of model updates will be integrated in the BMW Motorrad program for the model year 2013.The models will be available for order in the new configuration at all BMW Motorrad dealerships from August 2012.

[b]BMW Motorrad ABS available as standard in all models worldwide.[b]
As a leading motorcycle manufacturer, BMW Motorrad has always been aware of its social responsibility in connection with motorcycling safety. In 1988 the company presented the world's first serial production motorcycles with the antilock brake system ABS - the most effective technical safety bonus to this day. Now follows the next logical step: as of the model year 2013, BMW Motorrad will be the first manufacturer in the world to provide ABS in all models as standard. This is a proactive step, clearly pre-empting the requirement for ABS which is likely to be introduced in 2016 for all newly registered motorcycles in Europe.

Woodcliff Lake, N.J.  July 7, 2012 BMW Team RLL fought back from a day of bad luck to finish fifth and sixth in the GT class at the American Le Mans Northeast Grand Prix at Lime Rock Park. Todays result was the first time a BMW Team RLL M3 GT did not reach the podium at their home track, but a determined effort kept the team in second place in manufacturer points and very much in contention for a third consecutive GT class title.

[url=http://www.tvsmotor.in/news.asp?id=280&yr=2012 ]tvsmotor.in[/url]: TVS Motor Company sales at 168,693 units in June 2012
- More units than BMW/ Husqvarna sells in a year and this was a down month for them. The relationship between BMW and TVS remains very much in doubt. The value they may offer to BMW is assembly CKD bikes, along the lines BMW has in Brazil, allowing them to avoid the heavy tariffs currently paid on complete bikes. The TVS dealer network could be a means to introduce BMW products on a much broader basis. Husqvarna is most likely product they will focus on. The current Husqvarna production facility has excess capacity that could absorb a great deal of CKD bikes to ship to India.

There is many a slip between cup and lip so time will tell if and what all these stories mean.

BMW Team RLL fought back from a day of bad luck to finish fifth and sixth in the GT class at the fourth round of the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) at Lime Rock Park (US). This result was the first time a BMW Team RLL car hasnÔÇÖt been on the podium at the teamÔÇÖs home track, but a determined effort kept the squad in second place in the manufacturer points and very much in contention for a third consecutive GT class title. Victory was secured by the two Porsche drivers, J?Ârg Bergmeister (DE) and Patrick Long (US).[url=https://www.press.bmwgroup-sport.com/pressclub/p/sp/pressDetail.html?outputChannelId=52&id=T0128371EN&left_menu_item=node__7157 ]...More[/url]

The Agera R is a whopping 1100hp monster, capable of 0-300km/h in just 14.53 seconds, faster than a Veyron. This particular car belongs to a Qatari owner from the Al-Thani family who also owns a Pagani Zonda Cinque, Bugatti Veyron Centenaire and many more supercars that are seen around the world.

*QOD: When passing parked cars, you should do which of the following?*[url]http://t.co/W2dS6FWk[/url]

TIP: Making a left turn at night? Maybe go around the block to the right vs. waiting in left turn lane where a sleepy driver could hit you.

With the new TR 650 Strada and the new TR 650 Terra, Husqvarna Motorcycles extends its program of highly agile, dynamic single-cylinder motorcycles by adding two attractive new machines. Their slim, wiry stature and masculine, dynamic design gives the new Husqvarna TR 650 models a progressive, light and energetic look, whether as the "Terra" version for light terrain or as the "Strada" version for asphalt-based motorcycling fun. At the same time, the two new Husqvarna models are clearly set apart from their competitors with their outstanding overall package of handling and riding dynamics as well as in terms of design. Along with their relatively low weight, a powerful single-cylinder engine and an agile, directionally-stable chassis they embody the passion of motorcycling and the fascinating world of Husqvarna Motorcycles.

The DTM’s second visit to Munich (DE) saw Bruno Spengler (CA) prove once again that he is right at home on the tight, winding circuit in the Olympic Stadium: the BMW Team Schnitzer driver finished third in Sunday’s individual competition. Last year’s winner, this time at the wheel of his BMW Bank M3 DTM, came up against Jamie Green (GB) in the semi-final and led until just before the end of the race, when he locked his wheels and allowed the Mercedes driver to snatch victory. Mattias Ekstr?Âm (SE, Audi) went on to defeat Green in the final.

BMW Motorrad realigns motor sports activities: commitment to the Superbike World Championship 2013.
16.07.2012

Munich, 16th July 2012. BMW Motorrad will also line up a factory team at the start of the FIM Superbike World Championship in 2013. At the same time, the company is carrying out a strategic realignment and pooling superbike activities.

BMW Motorrad Italia will take responsibility for the factory race and test team as well as for chassis development. BMW in Munich will be entirely responsible for developing the power train and electronics. This decision means that BMW Motorrad will continue to operate as a fully integrated team in the World Championship for near-production road motorcycles. Team name, team management positions and rider line-up for 2013 will be announced later.

Stephan Schaller, Head of BMW Motorrad, said: “Our decision represents a commitment by BMW Motorrad to motor sports. We have developed this commitment from a position of strength. The Superbike World Championship will continue to be the right platform for BMW Motorrad next year to demonstrate our expertise as a manufacturer of sports motorcycles in close proximity to customers. The new structure with the focus on one racing team is lean and efficient, the concept is targeted and logical. We are looking forward to being in a position to develop the existing structures in Munich and Milan.”

Schaller added: “At this point, I would like to express my thanks to Bernhard Gobmeier who successfully restructured BMW Motorrad Motorsport and achieved the first victories in the Superbike World Championship. I am confident that he and his team will have celebrated more victories by the end of the season. Naturally, our decision will also exert an influence on our partnership with alpha Racing. We have celebrated successes together and moved the team forward. We have a number of challenges ahead for the rest of the season and we will be working with alpha Racing to master them in a dedicated and professional approach.”

BMW Motorrad Motorsport Director Bernhard Gobmeier: “This is a strategic corporate decision by BMW Motorrad. This step means that BMW Motorrad will continue to participate in motor sports at a professional level. During the current season, we have achieved the first victories for BMW Motorrad in the Superbike World Championship. I am confident that more victories will follow. We all wish Andrea Buzzoni and the new team every success in the new constellation.”

Andrea Buzzoni, Director of BMW Motorrad Italia, said: “Success in professional motor sports depends on perfect interplay of all the different factors – from the rider, through the team and technology, to the tyres. Furthermore, a sustainable business case is becoming increasingly important. BMW Motorrad has therefore decided to realign its activities in the World Championship. We would like to express our thanks for the confidence they have demonstrated and we look forward to performing our new function. The successes in this season show that the development work carried out has borne fruit. The BMW S 1000 RR is capable of achieving victories in the Superbike World Championship. This has been the achievement of Bernhard Gobmeier and his team. We will build on this platform in 2013.”

[b]FWIW[/b]
During the 2011 season the German and Italian teams were not integrated. Each took their version of the S1000RR v1 and developed in their directions. Over the length of the season some integration of information and effort took place. The main difference, based on comments by Troy Corser, was electronics development. Corser expressed frustration that the engineer he saw as key to the development of his bike had been assigned to BMW Itallia and was further separated by a strong Chinese wall. In 2012 both teams used the same equipment, the S1000RR v2, to launch their seasons.

The press release outlines a straight forward division of labor for the teams in 2013. Using BMW Itallia as the testing and chassis developer makes a great deal of sense; at least to me. This team campaings both in SBK and STK1000. Given the teams budget and resources available the role of testing and chassis development seems a good fit. Engine and electronics development residing in Munich seems more than sensible.

The press release is straight forward in what it says, yet for this fan it creates more questions than it answers.

Within WSBK how does the new structure play out in the real world once lifted off the page? IS this a two team four bike operation or a one team operation? The press release indicates the former but on 2013 race weekends how will this play out?

What does centering engine and electronic development in Munich mean for BMW and MotoGP? The Mothership has made it clear it does not want to field a factory team under the current rules. BMW and Suter a fielding a CRT machine that has frustrated Edwards. Frustration has lead to discussion of his team heading to Honda for a bike to campaign. Will shifting to a primary engine/electronics focus for Munich allow them to piggy back CRT power train development using Suter as the chassis developer for the near future? This would mirror the SBK strategy while allowing BMW to develop much needed track data for a factory team if and when they see more favorable rules/budget in MotoGP.

As always all this and a buck still gets you coffee and change at the Official Fly-Over-Land coffee stop. The key take away from the press release is the gang and I will have much to talk about through the 2013 season.

[b] FWIW: Some more thoughts on[/b]

BMW Motorcycle Magazine's headline starts [url=http://bmwmcmag.com/2012/07/bmw-kills-wsbk-team-focuses-on-bmw-italia-team/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=bmw-kills-wsbk-team-focuses-on-bmw-italia-team]“BMW Kills WSBK Team...”[/url]. GPOne's [url=http://www.gpone.com/index.php/201207167612/SBK-BMW-4-anni-di-crescita-e-poi-stop.html]initial analysis[/url] reads more like an obituary. Their [url=http://www.gpone.com/paologozzi/2012/07/16/bmw-chiude-il-team-interno-cosa-cambiera/]detailed blog analysis[/url] reads like the player option book for day two of the NFL draft. Many express surprise and shock at the move. After several reads of the press release and reading many of these articles I am less inclined to chant: 'der K?Ânig is dead long live il Re'. In this post Paris to Dakar – Boxer Cup era of BMW racing, on reflection, it is the latest iteration of business as usual for Roundel Racing.

[b]Racing is dirty business[/b]
BMW's current return to professional level FIM racing began in the dirt with the G450. The little BMW as part of the BMW reorganization that took place in the first years of the new millennium. Coincidentally MV Agusta and its divisions were up for sale. This lead to a bankruptcy and reorganization for them. About the same time the G450 began to surface in public BMW purchased Husqvarna. The G450 was briefly campaigned by BMW with the assistance of Speed Brain then both were rolled into Husqvarna. Husqvarna would do BMW's fighting in the dirt.

[b]Racing takes endurance[/b]
At the same time the G450 was passing through its racing arc BMW announced it would enter World Superbike. In anticipation of this BMW unveiled the R1200 HP Sport and took it racing in the FIM Endurance racing series. The HP was the high performance twin option BMW had considered taking to SBK. It became the platform to do preliminary testing of fairing aerodynamics and production techniques it would use with S1000RR. Alpha Racing and their racing experience were brought in to organize and run the team with BMW supervision. The Endurance team did not end with the WSBK start. BMW France took over endurance racing for BMW and moved from the HP to S1000RR in time.

[b]Carving the SBK curves[/b]
Team BMW Motorrad started carving out its niche in World Superbike in 2009 with the S1000RR. The first year was definitely a teething year. 2010 saw progress in the SBK campaign and the addition of BMW Itallia running the expansion into STK1000. Progress for the German team and a rider and manufacturer championship for the STK first time out of the box. 2011 saw the addition of new riders and the expansion of BMW Itallia into the SBK arena. If you have followed this thread you are aware of SBK efforts of the German and Italian teams. If you were aware of the G450 and Endurance story lines the timing of the WSBK realignment press release may come as a surprise but should not be a shock. How the realignment plays out in the paddock may be another surprise. The dominate press interpretation of the release has two riders disappearing. The release describes a division of labor between Germany and Italy and clearly hints at a decrease in team management overhead. It leaves question of who will be in the paddock in 2013. Rumors of an Italian dream team are rife. But is that a two three or four rider team.

[b]Where is the Mothership headed next?[/b]
The short answer is I don't know. I have been paying attention to the spate of press releases and stories involving BMW Motorrad of late and have my own ideas.

The reorganization press release has several interesting lines.

[i]...a sustainable business case is becoming increasingly important. BMW Motorrad has therefore decided to realign its activities in the World Championship. ...[/i]

BMW went racing with the G450 and the S1000RR to open new markets to sell in. The former resulted in a new company becoming part of the operation. The latter gave BMW a world beater in the show room if not yet on the track.

[i]...BMW in Munich will be entirely responsible for developing the power train and electronics...[/i]

The Mothership is returning to its roots. The company began as an engine builder. In the starting days these were aircraft engines. In this case they will be building racing engines for World Superbike and the other racing efforts. The 'other' efforts will be the focus on much speculation until the next press release on this from Munich. I have two projects in mind for them.

[b]If I were the Benevolent Dictator of Roundel Racing [BDRR][/b]

[u]CRT[/u]
The heads of BMW have made it clear it is not interested in joining the ranks of full factory MotoGP efforts. The current participants are to far ahead to catch up in any reasonable time. Honda and Yamaha are fighting hard to protect that lead. Suter-BMW has waved, okay shook the CRT flag for BMW. Haslam has spent some time in the Suter-BMW paddock in the early days of the 2012 pre season. If the SBK side goes to an Italian dream team format could Haslam move his contract to a rejuvenated CRT ride?

As BDRR I would find a true independent racing sponsor to form a team, maintain the Alpha Racing connection to run it, continue with Suter as a chassis developer and be an engine developer/supplier to them and other CRT teams. This strategy has all sorts of draw backs but two key points of interest.
1. Similar to the endurance racing effort this would allow BMW to develop the basis for a factory team while gathering much needed data in the process.
2. The CRT class bike engines are intended to be prototype liter engines not SBK mills. This would give a racing presence and arena to develop the power plant for the S1000RR.
The press continues to make this more and more appealing by reporting the factory team results and the CRT standings.

[u]Moto3[/u]
The street side of the Motorrad segment is in talks to move into India. KTM is using their Moto3 effort to great effect in their expansion in that market. I would turn to Husqvarna to lead my Moto3 campaign. The effort would give the sporting panache to match KTM, Honda and Kawasaki in the performance 250 segment. The size allows for conceptual economies with the CRT engine.

As always these thoughts and a buck will get you a cup of coffee at the Fly-Over-Land coffee shop where I will be waiting for the next developments in the Roundel Racing story and or a call from Munich to inform me of my new job as BDRR for BMW.

The Husqvarna Motocross Team by Ricci Racing was represented at the tenth round of the MX2 World Championship in Latvia only by Alessandro Lupino.

The FIM Sidecar World Championship heads to the stunning rolling countryside of Schleiz, Germany, this weekend.* The circuit of Schleiz is the oldest race track in the country and racing started here in 1923.* It is a road circuit and is known to be very hard on man and machine.The last round at Sachsenring saw the Birchall Brothers Ben and Tom take a great last lap move over Hock and Becker to take the win and move them to third in the Championship.* Tim Reeves and Ashley Hawes finished in fourth, but they increased their lead in the championship over last years Champions Pekka Paivarinta and Adolf Hanni by 11 points.* Only 3 points separate second to fourth place in the championship, and with two races and full points this weekend, it's all to play for.Words and Pictures: Mark Walters [url=http://www.fim-live.com/en/media/news/news-detail/article/1342539181-sidecar-germany-preview-schleiz/ ]...More[/url]

TIP: If you ride in a wet, rainy area, you'll really appreciate a rain suit, which slips on easily over your other protective gear.

QOD: When selecting a lane position in which to ride, what should you do?*[url]http://t.co/6J4X3ijT[/url]

The coming race weekend should be an very exciting one. Unfortunately I must miss it and put the thread on hold. A family emergency has come up and I will be leaving latter today to help with it. I will be gone for several days.

Great report and we'll miss you. I can only hope your family emergency is better than mine.

Monday early AM I took a morning pill I am supposed to down with 16 OZ if water, and after first sip could not breathe, choking and coughing up. Three days at the hospital and a lot of steroids my throat, half thyroid as May 7, 2012, and trachea, food tube, is down enough, I am relearning how to eat without choking and its not working yet!

I am exhausted after an eat, choke, eat, choke, 2 hour breakfast ordeal, and see my Dr. @ 2:30 today. This is as a) a result of several infections of the area, including three doses of antibiotics or b) a heart artery that may require moving.

I am only 55 and this thyroid thing may kill me yet. I am not hoping for this, but it hurts a lot. That my heart is great, I am nearly 6' and 180 lbs is not relevant.

Like I said, I hope your family emergency is less serious.
