Spengler on Lausitz pole

Bruno Spengler took his third DTM pole position from four races this year with a near perfect lap in qualifying at Lausitz. Having made it into the one-lap shoot-out for pole that is Q4, Spengler was set a tough task by Mattias Ekstrom to knock the Abt Audi driver off the top spot. But the HWA Mercedes driver made his opponent look ordinary, lapping the circuit in 1m19.119s - almost half a second quicker than the Swede - to seize the initiative.

Wurz vows to fight back in 2012

Alex Wurz has vowed to work hard to put Peugeot in contention for victory in next year's Le Mans 24 Hours race after suffering defeat at the hands of Audi last weekend. The 37-year-old Austrian was livid with himself after the race, having made a mistake in the 18th hour and crashing at Indianapolis which cost he and his team-mates Anthony Davidson and Marc Gene in the #7 908 four laps in repairs, and potentially a place on the podium.

Alfalla Again

For the second week in a row, Ray Alfalla put his name on the top of the leader board in the NASCAR iRacing.com Class A Series. This week the series shifted gears from the “Tricky Triangle” of Pocono Raceway, to the “Great American Speedway” in Forth Worth, Texas — Texas Motor Speedway. Alfalla only did one race, in contrast to his half dozen at Pocono the previous week, but that is all he needed to stamp himself firmly at the top for the week. Fellow NASCAR iRacing.com Series World Championship sim racer Thomas Lewandowski finished second in points, fifteen markers behind the surging Alfalla. Rafael Doninelli and Charles Cosper tied for the most wins on the week with three a piece, six other drivers had two. Gabriel Solis and Alvin [...]
