Formula One champion returns home to hero's welcome
MONTREAL (AP) Jacques Villeneuve received a tumultuous welcome
Wednesday when he returned home for the first time since winning the
Formula One drivers' championship.
A capacity crowd of 20,000 packed the Molson Center, home of the
Montreal Canadiens, and gave Villeneuve a 10-minute standing ovation.
They then listened in on a press conference.
The fervor rivaled any shown in the past for Quebec's sporting heroes.
Most members of the crowd waved the blue-and-white flags of Quebec,
rather than the Canadian maple-leaf flag, but Villeneuve sidestepped a
question about where he stood on the issue of Quebec separatism.
Tickets to the event were free, and were snapped up by fans Tuesday in
less than two hours. Some ticketholders spent the night on the
sidewalk in order to get good seats.
The event also was telecast live by nearly every channel in Quebec and
on the main nationwide all-news channel.
Villeneuve, now lives in Monaco but spent his early years in
Iberville, Quebec. He is the son of the late Formula One star Gilles
Villeneuve.
He was asked whether he thought about his father after winning the
drivers' title in the final race of the season last month in Jerez,
Spain.
"It's something very private," he said. ``As soon as I was alone, I
started thinking about that. It's not something I would share with
everyone."

Auto Trader RAC Touring Car Championship
Silverstone: Rounds 23&24, September 21
The title-winning Renault team ended the Auto Trader RAC Touring Car
Championship in appropriate style at Silverstone this afternoon, Alain
Menu and Jason Plato claiming a win apiece in a pair of hard-fought
season-closing encounters. Renault's double victory brings the
manufacturer's tally of race wins for the year to 14 from 24 races.
Today's events -- watched by a Silverstone BTCC record of 30,000
spectators -- settled the battle for second place in the
championships, Frank Biela pipping Plato for the drivers' honour by a
single point and Audi edging out Honda for runner-up place to Renault
in the manufacturers' battle. In the cash-rich Total Cup for
Independents, Robb Gravett claimed the UKpounds60,000 champion's
prize.
Menu's victory in round 23 of the Auto Trader Championship was
possibly his most controversial of the year, after he wrested the lead
from his Renault team-mate Plato on the 10th of the scheduled 20 laps.
Plato had made a perfect getaway from pole position to lead Menu and
Nissan's Anthony Reid. But the newly crowned champion was in no mood
to play second fiddle: as the leading trio approached Becketts, Menu
lunged down Plato's inside, forcing his team-mate wide and on to the
'dirty' side of the track. As the Swiss star romped into the lead,
Reid spotted his opportunity and followed him through, demoting Plato
to a disappointed third.
The race was brought to a halt two laps early when Lee Brookes's
Peugeot spun and clouted the barriers exiting the Ireland esses;
Brookes was unhurt but his car came to rest in the middle of the
track. With the results declared at 17 laps, Menu was the winner by
2.3 seconds from Reid, with Plato -- suffering with damaged tyres -- a
further four seconds adrift.
Gabriele Tarquini, who made a poor start from the front row of the
grid, was fourth for Honda, ahead of Kelvin Burt's Volvo and David
Leslie in the second Nissan. Biela finished eighth to cement his
championship runner-up position. Matt Neal's Nissan was the leading
Total Cup for Independents runner in 14th; he had been planning to
hand the class win to Brookes until the latter's accident.
If Plato was disappointed by his first-race result, he more than made
up for it with a storming start to the second encounter. As the lights
flashed to green he blasted away from the grid and pole man Menu to
lead the field into the first corner, with Menu holding second from
James Thompson's Honda, Reid and Tarquini.
The two Renaults fought for the final win of the year throughout the
race, Menu never more than half a second from Plato and trying
everything in his championship-winning repertoire to find a way past.
This time, however, the Briton made sure he did not present any
overtaking opportunities to the wily Swiss and they finished as they
had started, separated by less than a quarter of a second.
The battle for third position was no less intense: Reid harried
Thompson mercilessly all the way to the 11th tour, finding a way
alongside the Honda half-way around the lap only for the manoeuvre to
end in collision. As both cars slowed, Tarquini swept past and into a
third place he would never lose. Thompson got going again to claim
fourth, but Reid's race ended in the pits, his Nissan battered. Paul
Radisich took fifth for Ford, ahead of Leslie's Nissan and Rickard
Rydell's Volvo.
The Total Cup battle was a fraught one: Colin Gallie -- who needed
race victory to claim the title -- led initially, only to fall behind
Neal's Nissan. Gravett drove another steady race to third place among
the independents, enough to confirm his bumper Total pay-day.
Driver quotes (round 23)
Plato: "Alain jumped down the inside; it was at the last possible
moment and I was forced either to back off or go around the outside
and pick up debris on the tyres. At the end of the day we are both
racing for ourselves but we are also racing for the team."
Menu: "I always say that unless given an order, I drive my own
race..."
Reid: "From the opening stages Alain was under pressure from me and I
could see that he was a little faster than Jason. I thought there
might be some action..."
Neal: "Lee Brookes and I had come to a gentleman'agreement to try to
help him win the championship and we were just cruising. I saw him
take a little too much kerb and I thought he'd get away with it. I was
wrong."
Driver quotes (round 24)
Gravett: "It's not as good as winning the drivers' championship in
1990 but I was really worried today. In my head I could hear all sorts
of things going wrong with the car. It's been a long year and it's
great that my efforts as an independent have been rewarded."
Tarquini: "Renault showed us today how hard we must work over the
winter to get on terms next year. It'been a disappointing year for
Honda. The final result has not been good for me or for the team. But
we shouldn't be too despondent because this is the first year for the
team with this car."
Menu: "I think Jason learned from the first race. He drove very
defensively and there was no way I could pass him, although I was
quicker..."
Plato: "Psychologically it's very important to win the last race of
the season. In the first race I treated Alain like a team-mate, in the
second I treated him like an opponent."

Londonski dnevni list "The Times" objavio je da poseduje tonski zapis sa
trke u Herezu u kome se jasno može videti da su se dva britanska tima,
McLaren i Williams, dogovarala u završnici trke. Snimak sadrži razgovor
između vozača i rukovodilaca timova, koji pokazuje da je završnica trke
bila "dirigovana".
Žak Vilnev, koji je morao na poslednjoj trci da završi ispred Šumahera
da bi osvojio šampionat, dobio je naređenje od Džona Klira (John Clear),
inženjera Vilijamsa, da propusti Miku Hakinena kako bi ovaj osvojio prvu
pobedu u karijeri. Tok razgovora je prema Tajmsu išao ovako:
"Skoncentriši se Žak."
"Hakinen je odmah iza.
"Poslednji krug... Poslednji krug."
"Hakinen nam je bio od velike pomoći."
"Žak, drugo mesto, nemoj me izneveriti. Pričali smo o tome..."
(U originalu: "...Keep concentrating Jacques. Hakkinen is immediately behind.
Last lap. Last lap. Hakkinen has been very helpful. Jacques, position two.
Don't let me down. Jacques. We discussed this...")
List tvrdi da su Mika Hakinen i Dejvid Kultard imali zadatak da naprave
"tampon zonu" izmedju Vilneva i Irvajna, kako agresivni Irac ne bi pokušao
da eliminiše Kanađanina i tako ga liši titule. Navodi se i da je Kultardu
radio vezom zaprećeno otkazom u Meklarenu ukoliko ne propusti timskog
kolegu Miku Hakinena ispred sebe.
Maks Mozli, predsednik FIA-e, nakon ove vesti pozvao je sve vlasnike timova
na razgovor u London, kako bi razgovarali o ovoj aferi i da bi im preneo da
će ovakvi dogovori timova ubuduće biti strogo zabranjeni i oštro kažnjavani.
Za koji dan očekuje se i izricanje kazne Mihaelu Šumaheru zbog sudara sa
Vilnevom na poslednjoj trci. Nemac se nada da neće dobiti zabranu vožnje
u prvih nekoliko trka u sledećoj sezoni, već da će se sve završiti na
novčanoj kazni.
auto-moto.633obren,
Portparol Ferarija poriče da je Šumaherov F310B bolid gubio ulje ili
vodu pred incident sa Vilnevom. "U trenutku sudara sa Vilnevom, bolid
je bio u perfektnom stanju", rekao je portparol.
"Ako pogledate vremena u prvim krugovima odmah nakon prvog i drugog
pit-stopa, videćete da su vrlo slična. Jedina razlika je u tome što
je posle drugog pit-stopa Mihael imao 15-20kg goriva više, odnosno
0.2s po krugu."
Saopšteno je da se mogu predočiti i telemetrijski izveštaji koji jasno
pokazuju da nije bilo nikakvih problema na Šumaherovom bolidu. Čak je
Džeki Stjuart posvedočio u korist Ferrarija: "Čuo sam se telefonom sa
jako dobrim prijateljem koji radi u Ferrarijevoj posadi. Rekao mi je
da se Šumaher nije žalio ni na kakve probleme u toku trke, i ja toj
osobi verujem."

SKANDALOZNO! ;)
Danas se, kako je i najavljeno, sastajao savet FIA a donete su sledeće odluke:
1) Mihael Šumaher neće biti kažnjen nikakvom zabranom vožnje niti novčanom
kaznom, već će mu biti oduzeti svi poeni koje je osvojio ove sezone, što
znači da se smrad opet izvukao praktično bez ikakve kazne :(
2) Gubitak poena odnosi se samo na Šumahera, ali ne i na Ferrari kome ostaju
bodovi i drugo mesto u šampionatu konstruktora. Što je najluđe, Šumaher
zadržava osvojene poene i pobede u svojoj ukupnoj statistici u karijeri (!)
što znači da je efekat kazne u principu samo to da je Hajnc-Herald Frentzen
drugoplasirani vozač ove sezone.
3) McLaren i Williams oslobođeni su optužbi za dogovaranje završnice trke.
Trla baba lan...

Britanska štampa je ogorčena zbog odluke FIA-e da ne kazni ozbiljnije
Mihaela Šumahera zbog incidenta u Herezu.
"Budale su ostavile širom otvorena vrata svakom vozaču kome ubuduće padne
na pamet da izbaci konkurenta iz trke. Svako će sada moći da se poziva na
Šumeherovu presudu", kaže se u listu "Sun". Britanski Dnevni Telegraf ;)
ocenjuje odluku FIA-e kao skandaloznu, obzirom da Šumaher nije osetio
gotovo nikakve konsekvence.

Maks Mozli je saopštio da FIA vodi istragu povodom afere sa snimkom

i zloupotreba radio veze sa vozačima. Kako je Mozli rekao, razmišlja
se i o odluci da se radio kanali otvore i učine dostupnim svim
timovima, umesto da se na neki način kriptuju.

Iklstoun, Edi Džordan i Frenk Vilijams o Šumaheru
Šef FOCCA-e Berni Iklstoun je dao svoje viđenje Šumaherove kazne: "Nije
bilo alternative. Da smo ga sklonili sa prve dve ili tri trke, šampionat
1998. ne bi imao smisla. Ko god da bi uzeo taj šampionat a da to nije
Šumaher, to ne bi bila "prava" pobeda sa a istovremeno bi u startu Šumaher
i Ferari bili demoralisani za istinsku borbu oko titule. Vozači žele da
pobede najboljeg, a Šumaher je u ovom trenutku najbolji. On je probojan
i mi ga trebamo. Mihael je morao priznati svetu da je pogrešio i to ga
je ponizilo. On je onim potezom kaznio sam sebe više nego bilo ko drugi
u proteklih nekoliko nedelja."
Edi Džordan: "On je profesionalac, ova kazna ga neće pogoditi ni najmanje.
Mislim da je njemu najveći neuspeh što nije osvojio ovogodišnji šampionat."
Frenk Vilijams: "Kada heroja udare javno u zadnjicu svi su oduševljeni
spektaklom. Gorka činjenica koja ostaje je da ako Mihael ostane praktično
nekažnjen, svi šefovi timova će stajati u redu za njegove usluge."

Istina je. Osnovni razlozi su promjena pravila za sezonu 1998. i
povećanje troškova. Priča se da će Michelin da ih zamijeni, ali da će

each drive Reynard Mercedes-Benz race cars on Firestone tires.
The 26-year-old French Canadian joins the team as a final step in the
Player's Driver Development Program (DDP). He won the 1996 Player's
Atlantic championship and also received support from the company in his
rookie CART season with Team Alumax/Bettenhausen Motorsports.
"Player's has been an important part of my success for the past three
seasons and they have once again showed tremendous faith in me," said
Carpentier, whose best finish of 1997 was second place at Gateway
International Raceway. "I believe this is the best move for my career
development, since Player's devotes a lot of time and attention to
creating the best possible environment for their drivers, both on and off
the track."
For third-year driver Greg Moore, who hails from Maple Ridge, British
Columbia, the arrival of a new teammate marks an important step in the
team's championship aspirations.
"Patrick and I came in together (in 1995) with the Player's DDP and we
have always had a good relationship," he said. "I am confident that we
will feed off each other and with our Reynard/Mercedes/Firestone package,
we should be in front of the pack consistently next season."
The decision to add a second car to its CART operations has brought a new
focus to the Player's Driver Development Program. After fielding teams at
the Indy Lights and Atlantic levels last season, Player's has opted to
remain active in only one development series for open-wheel racing in
1998. The Indy Lights team, which was a Forsythe operation in 1995 and
1996, will be discontinued, but the Atlantic program will continue with
two familiar drivers.
The pairing for the 1998 Player's Atlantic Team will be made up of
Canadians Alex Tagliani and Lee Bentham who finished fifth in the overall
standings as a rookie in Indy Lights and was runner-up to Patrick
Carpentier in the Atlantic series in 1996.
The new structure means that David Empringham and Bertrand Godin, who have
given Canadian fans a lot to cheer about over the years, won't be back
behind the wheel of a Player's car next season. However, they have both
been offered tremendous opportunities to pursue new careers in motorsport,
including within the Player's DDP if they are so inclined.
Player's will make an announcement about its slate of partially-funded
drivers in the next couple of months.

Rahal To Retire At The End Of 1998 PPG CART World Series Season
CART Online (November 20) -- Three-time PPG CART World Series champion
Bobby Rahal will close his driving career at the conclusion of the 1998
season, the two-time Driver of Year and Indianapolis 500 winner announced
today at his team's Hilliard, Ohio headquarters.
"I promised myself that I would retire from driving when I thought I could
be of greater value to my team as an owner than as a driver," Rahal said.
"I believe that time has come."
Rahal, who has served as both owner and driver for Team Rahal since its
inception, will focus full time on the owner role and his expanding
business interests after the 1998 season's completion.
"The demands for my attention from all our business enterprises have grown
through the years," Rahal said. "I take that as a sign of their success.
And though they will require more of my time in the future, I still have
the kind of desire it takes to drive, to compete and to win. I intend to
go out on top."
Rahal will field Reynard Ford Cosworth Indy cars on Firestone tires for
himself and teammate Bryan Herta in next year's 19-race PPG Cup campaign.
He enters the PPG-Dayton Indy Lights Championship as a team owner for the
first time in 1998 and recently announced Gloy-Rahal Racing, a NASCAR
Craftsman Truck Series team in which he owns an interest. Rahal also
serves on the CART Board of Directors. Among his non-racing-related
enterprises are namesake Honda, Toyota, Lexus, and Mercedes-Benz
dealerships.
"Bobby is finishing an heroic career with dignity and grace," said Team
Rahal co-owner David Letterman. "The sport is lucky to have him. I'm lucky
to have him as a friend and partner."
"Every race fan in America will miss seeing Bobby on the track," said CART
President and CEO Andrew Craig. "He is one of the sport's all-time greats
and a truly world-class competitor."
Miller, Rahal's sponsor since 1992, will use its famous Lite brand to
commemorate Rahal's final racing season - RAHAL'S LAST RIDE - throughout
the 1998 CART season with special celebrations at each venue on the
19-race tour. The company will be a contributor to a newly established
Bobby Rahal Foundation, a not-for-profit endowment created to generate and
distribute charitable funds raised during "Rahal's Last Ride" tour. The
foundation will identify worthwhile organizations within the race markets
making up the 1998 CART season.
As a driver, the 44-year-old Rahal ranks second all-time in career CART
earnings, and 11th in career wins (24) and career poles (18). He is the
leader among active drivers in starts (246), ranking him seventh all-time.
He joins retired driver Rick Mears as CART's only three-time PPG Cup
champions (1986, '87 and '92).

Evo još malo pojedinosti o najavljenom odlasku Goodyeara iz F1...
Proizvođač pneumatika "Goodyear" objavio je u sredu da će se povući iz
Formule 1 nakon završetka sezone 1998, a kao glavni razlog svog
odustajanja od daljeg takmičenja navedeni su promena pravila u sledećoj
sezoni i enormni troškovi koji opterećuju kompaniju.
Američki proizvođač pneumatika ušao je u svet Formule 1 davne 1965.
godine, a od tada do danas zabeležio je 361 pobedu i 25 puta bio šampion
u kategoriji konstruktora. Kada je japanska kompanija Bridgestone ušla
ove sezone u Formulu 1 opremivši svojim pneumaticima 4 tima, Goodyear je
izgubio svoj šestogodišnji monopol u ovom prestižnom takmičenju.
Goodyear je do sada snabdevao gumama sve veće timove, uključujući Williams,
Ferrari, McLaren, Benetton i Jordan. Očekuje se da će svi navedeni timovi
preći na Bridgestone preumatike iako još jedan proizvođač, Michelin,
najavljuje povratak.
William Sharp, jedan od predsednika kompanije kaže: "Promena pravila u
vezi profila pneumatika, eskalirajući troškovi razvoja uz relativno slab
marketinški efekat na tržištu, glavni su razlozi Goodyearove odluke da
napusti Formulu 1."
Bridgestoneov debitantski nastup u F1 pokrenuo je lavinu kritika na
konkurentnost Goodyear pneumatika, dok je istovremeno nekoliko timova
pokušalo bezuspešno da izdejstvuje prekid ugovora sa Goodyearom kako bi
prešli na Bridgestone. Sharp ističe da će i pored najavljene odluke o
povlačenju ova firma uložiti maksimalne napore da njihovi pneumatici
sledeće sezone budu i dalje vrlo konkurentni, iako su ocenili da je
odluka o promeni pneumatika besmislena i suluda, kao i da se kosi sa
težnjama ove firme da "tehnologija bude uvek u službi performansi."

Bridgestone prihvata nova pravila igre
Japanski proizvođač pneumatika prihvatio je promene pravila za sledeću
sezonu tako da je najavio da će Bridgestone izbaciti gume u skladu sa
novim propisima. Podpredsednik kompanije g. Tadakazu izjavio je:
"Moramo se povinovati odluci. Pravićemo nove gume prema novim pravilima."
auto-moto.656obren,
Već duže vreme priča se o dolasku "super-tima" u Formulu 1. U pitanju je
tim iza koga će stajati duvanski gigant BAT (British-American Tobacco) i
Reynard. Pošto postoje izvesne komplikacije oko osnivanja novog tima u F1,
procenjuje se da će oni najverovatnije kupiti Tyrell (što svakako neće
biti veći problem pošto je najavljen godišnji budžet od najmanje 300
miliona dolara)
Kao vozač se pominje Žak Vilnev, koji je navodno već potpisao predugovor
za 1999. sezonu, dok će za motore biti angažovana Honda sa kojom Reynard
ima tesne veze i vrlo plodnu saradnju u PPG CART šampionatu. U BAT-u za
sada kažu da ne mogu ni da potvrde niti da demantuju vesti, što znači da
tračevi najverovatnije nisu bez osnova.
auto-moto.657obren,
Honda će preispitati svoju odluku o skorom povratku u Formulu 1, izjavio
je predsednik kompanije Nabuhiko Kawamoto prethodne nedelje, istovremeno
osuvši oštre kritike na račun Formule 1.
Kawamoto, koji je objasnio da će upravni odbor kopmanije doneti konačnu
odluku u Martu, izrazio je zabrinutost po pitanju stabilnosti tehničkih
propisa vezanih za Formulu 1, jer je Honda već jednom napustila ovo
takmičenje zbog neprestanih zabrana tehničkih rešenja na njihovim, tada
dominirajućim, motorima.
"Mi imamo ozbiljne planove u vezi sa Formulom 1 i planiramo da ostanemo
bar 10 godine u takmičenju. Ako nismo sigurni da se tehničke regulative
i statut organizacije (Concorde Agreement) neće menjati kad god to nekom
padne na pamet, ako vlasnički odnosi unutar ove organizacije nisu još do
kraja rasvetljeni a mnoge odluke se donose iz finansijskih pobuda, onda
moramo preispitati svoje planove", naglasio je Kawamoto.
Kawamoto je ujedno najavio i da će jedna trka PPG CART serije biti vožena
na novootvorenom Hondinom trkačkom-kompleksu "Twin-Ring Montegi" kao i da
eventualno uključenje kompanije u Formulu 1 neće uticati na učešće u
američkom Indycar šampionatu:
"Naš PPG CART program uopšte ne dolazi u pitanje. Tu imamo veoma čvrste
garancije po pitanju stabilnosti tehničkih propisa i dugoročne ugovore o
saradnji sa nekoliko timova. Uostalom, činjenica da će se jedna trka
voziti upravo na našoj novoj stazi, to najbolje potvrđuje."

Džordan odlaže testove novog bolida za mesec dana
Britanski tim "Jordan" nije uspeo da ubedi Peugeot da im dozvoli raskid
ugovora koji precizira da Jordan ne sme vršiti testove ni sa jednim
drugim proizvođačem motora osim Pežoa do kraja 1997. godine. Iako će
Peugeot sledeće sezone pokretati Prostove bolide, francuski proizvođač
motora odbija da dozvoli Jordanu da testira svoj bolid sa novim Mugen-Honda
motorima do isteka ove godine.
"Naša veza je završena a sklopili smo novi ugovor pa da svi nestrpljivo
čekamo prve testove, tako da sam lično malo razočaran zbog ovakvog stava
Pežoa", izjavio je vlasnik tima, Edi Džordan. "Naša šasija za 1998. sezonu
je već odavno gotova, novi Mugen-Honda motori čekaju, a Dejmon je oslobođen
ugovora sa Arrowsom tako da je spreman za testove. Na žalost, sada smo
prinuđeni da odložimo probe sve do 1. januara"
auto-moto.659obren,
Kao što možda znate, sledeće godine jedna trka CART šampionata voziće se
na novoj ovalnoj stazi "Twin-Ring Montegi", koja predstavlja jedan od
najvećih i najmodernijih trkačkih kompleksa na svetu, a raspolaže stazama
za karting, Formulu 1, ovalnim "Indycar" stazama, terenima za relije i sl.
(Uz poruku je slika nove staze iz "ptičije perspektive").
Na prvim testovima na novoj stazi, Džimi Vaser je postavio najbolje vreme,
odvezavši najbrži krug u svojem Team Ganassi Reynard-Honda bolidu za 25.915s
(prosečnom brzinom od 344 km/h). Drugi na testovima je bio Dario Frankiti,
sa zakašnjenjem od 0.2s iza Vassera.

53rd Rally of Britain (RAC)
Round 14 of the World Rally Championship
23 November - 25 November 1997
The RAC is one of the oldest and most prestigious rounds of the World
Rally Championship. Since the formation of the FIA World Rally
Championship in 1973 the event's international reputation has always been
strong. As the RAC is one of the country's major sporting events, many
cities and towns including London, Birmingham, Bath, York, Chester,
Cheltenham, Harrogate and Nottingham are eager to host the rally.
Expect fans to be in excess of two million to watch local favourites like
Colin McRae, who loves nothing better than living on the edge, race for
the RAC win and possibly a championship win as well. But since the event
took to the forests, Scandinavian drivers have dominated, only Britain's
Roger Clark (twice), Carlos Sainz (once) and Colin McRae (twice) have
managed to beat the Finns and Swedes.
The entry list is extensive with 163 entrants and over 30 reserves.
The RAC is likely to be a four way fight between motor manufacturing
giants Subaru, Mitsubishi, Ford, and the still unproven Toyota WRC
Corolla. But most interest will be focused on the battle between Colin
McRae and Tommi Makinen.
Team Mitsubishi Ralliart is poised to win the crown and Tommi is the
odds-on favourite to become World Rally Champion for the second year in
a row. Makinen has four wins already this year and a near - unbeatable
points lead as he prepares for the RAC. He will be World Champion
provided he finishes in the top six and scores just one point, but if
Colin McRae fails to win the rally, Makinen is automatically champion.
With much of the United Kingdom behind Colin he'll be pushing it all the
way.
And according to Colin himself ..... "Just a couple of events ago it was
hard to think we'd be in a position to be fighting for the World
Championship on the final round," said Colin, "but if there was anywhere
I'd rather do it, the RAC Rally is obviously the event that favours me
most. It's not going to be easy though; we've got to win and Tommi
(Makinen) has got to be out of the points. Even then, it would go down to
a tie-break on points and we would win by having five victories over
Tommi's four, so I'm under no illusion that a straight victory will clinch
it.
While Tommi's attitude is somewhat different .... "Of course it's going to
be difficult, because the RAC is a tough rally, but I don't think it is
going to be a problem. It is just a question of concentrating and making
sure that we finish," said Makinen. "I have driven a lot in Britain, so I
know what to expect in the forests and, although I haven't had good
results on the RAC in the past, this year is going to be different!"
So while Subaru 555 team has already tied up the manufacturers
championship for the third year in a row with the win in Australia, it's
now the individual drivers championship that has all the focus.
The 386 kilometres of timed special stages of this year's event will test
the drivers, and fittingly, ultimately decide the 1997 FIA World Rally
Championship.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Conditions Expected:
The weather in Britain in late November is impossible to predict. But it
will almost certainly be bad. The chance of sunshine is minimal and
competitors are more likely to encounter rain, fog, hail, ice and snow.
Varying weather conditions are an integral part of the rally's unique
challenge. It will make forest stages slippery and treacherous, a true
test of a drivers nerve, skill and even luck.

1996 Network Q RAC Rally
(**Note 1)
Day 1
The weather and accidents eliminated Ari Vatanen, Juha Kankkunen and Jarmo
Kytolehto. Armin Schwarz and Stig Blomqvist took the leads in there
categories which they held to the finish. Masao Kamioka and Krzysztof
Holowczyc benefited from there lower running numbers to finish the day
second and forth respectively while little known backmarkers often gained
remarkable stage times.
Day 2
Gwyndaf Evans and Robbie Head both went off on stage 11 after rolling
their cars in the same place. Organisers had a sleepless night deciding
which crews should be allowed to continue after delays the day before.
Day 3
Skoda's championship hopes were dashed when Sibera retired. SEAT became
champions!

Da stvarno, to je zanimljivo pitanje. Pretpostavljam da su predvideli
takve pojedinosti, inače će nava pravila postati glupost i farsa... :(
BTW, gledah na TV-u neku emisiju u kojoj su prikazali tatu & sina
Stewart kako voze svoje nove bolide za 1998 godinu, i primetio sam
da te gume imaju mnogo više šara nego što sam mislio da će imati
(ako sam dobro primetio, šare su locirane samo na unutrašnjoj
polovoini pneumatika). Takođe, primećuje se na prvi pogled da su
bolidi uži i "igličastiji".

Tommi Makinen is suffering from the flu (perhaps this was the cause for his
small altercation with some tyres on ss2, Silverstone I!)
The Silverstone stages had to be shortened by a mile, due to the lack of
visibility in thick fog.
Kenneth Eriksson retired on Special Stage 1 when his engine stopped due to
electrical problems. This delayed the two following drivers; Richard Burns
and Didier Auriol.
Luis Clements (Mit Lancer) leads Olli Harkki (Mit Lancer) and Kristopher
Rosenberger in another Lancer in Group N. Kiwi Reece Jones is 4th on Group N.
Alister McRae (VW Golf) leads Gwyndaf Evans (Seat) and Martin Rowe (Renault

Gwyndaf Evans (Seat) and Piero Liatti apparenly took a 'dislike' to some

Alberto Puig announces he withdraw from active competition
Alberto Puig convened today the entire Spanish pree to make public his
plans in the sporting arena, after a long exposition which can be summed
up in his conviction that at this time he does not have the guarantees
needed to partecipate in the 1998 World Championship with clear prospects
of success.
As he explained: "I've lead an intense life in the world of competition
which has prolonged itself ever since I have the use reason. As you all
know, I began in disciplines other than racing and I always managed to do
quite well, specially in Trial and Supermotorad. But the last few years I
have dedicated them to racing. I have fought to have the best possible
conditions to compete with the maximum chances of success and at some
point or other I have measured my possibilities against the best. After my
full on the circuit of Le Mans, everything has become a lot more difficult
for me. I have to admit that I have not reached the objectives I had set
out to accomplish in my sporting career but I do not feel I am a looser.
Neither would anyone who concentrates all of his physical and physical
means on an objective. The last two years have been very hard and I am
satisfied that despite the fact that the results have not been
forthcoming, I have never faltered. I have been fortunate enought to have
close to me people of great personal and professional worth, and I am
thankful for that. My family has been at my side with their support
through the worst of time. Almost all of the press has shown me respect.
I think I have left a few good memories an all of the teams. I have been
in and without exception I will keep good memories of them all, on a
personal level and as a team. This has not been an easy decision to make
because I'm still at an age where anything is possible. The possibility
to continue in active racing does not seduce me because I am sure I would
not enjoy myself in the new circumstances. That is why I have made what is
the most honest decision for me: to not continue. Some people will wonder
what made me loose my competitive edge at a high point between the testing
in Jerez and the race at Mugello, a mere fifteen days apart. I still do
not know and this has actually hastened my decision. From now all of
yesterday goes backstage and I now look ahead to what is to come with
renewed spirits."
Alberto will soon make public his new commitments in the field of competition.

Headlines:
The two Brits, Richard Burns and Colin McRae, lead on their home event.
McRae lost 1-1/2 minutes on the first stage due to fog which was lifting
allowing some cars to get a clear run, while others were reduced to a
snails pace. McRae then stormed up the time sheets in an awesome display
of driving.
Richard Burns and Colin McRae are truly in a class of their own at the
front of the field with Kankkunen a distant third.
Tommi Makinen is lying in 6th position - all he needs to claim the World
Championship.
Richard Burns incurred a 10 second penalty for leaving service one minute
late and Tommi Makinen a 20 second penalty
Alister McRae leads Formula 2 in the Volkswagen Golf from Harri Rovanpera
(Seat) and Mark Higgins (Nissan)
In Group N, Olli Harkki leads in a Mitsubishi Lancer from Luis Climent and
Jermey Easson, both also in Lancers

Patrick Racing Completes First Test Of New Reynard
CART Online (November 25) -- Patrick Racing driver Scott Pruett recently
completed his first test of the off-season in the team's new 1998 Reynard
98I chassis at Sebring last week. After being rained out November 13 and
14, the team tested last Monday and Tuesday at Sebring International
Raceway. Pruett (Patrick Racing Reynard Ford) pronounced himself pleased
with the new Reynard's performance.
"It is very driver- and mechanic-friendly," he said. "This first test was
virtually problem-free. There isn't a huge performance gain in the car
over last year, but the biggest thing with Reynard is the process of
evolution. The whole process and the way they go about it shows Reynard's
dedication and determination to stay on top by continually refining,
designing and developing new parts."
Jim McGee, Patrick Racing general manager, saw more of a performance gain
in the new Reynard during Pruett's test.
"They made a big improvement in the systems area, and the aerodynamic
configuration has also been improved," McGee said. "Scott was the only one
in the '98 Reynard and he was about one second quicker than anyone else at
Sebring."
Pruett's new teammate, Adrian Fernandez (Tecate/Quaker State Reynard
Ford), ran a '97 Reynard during his first test with the Patrick team.
"This was one of the most productive tests I have ever had from both the
technical and driving standpoint," said Fernandez, who joined Patrick
Racing last month after two years with the Tasman Motorsports Group. "I
really ran a lot of miles. I like working with the whole team, especially
John [Ward, chief engineer] and Scott. Scott and I worked well together.
We exchanged a lot of ideas and information. I am looking forward to
working with the team and I think this season is shaping up to be the most
successful in my career."

njega je bio neki italijan iz IRL sampionata... naravno, gde neki irl lik
moze da zaustavi velikog Zanardija.. AZ je u 9. krugu postavio najbrzi krug
da bi zatim 2,3 kruga kasnije spektakularno :) obisao tog italijana i
pobedio za 0.3 prednosti! Sve sam snimao na kasetu! Trijumf! 1 min do kraja!

prednost clear roada ispred i iza sebe i pobedio... AZ je stalno bio u

Trebalo je videti taj finis... prolaze prva trojica kroz cilj... zatim mala

Yamaha withdraws big offer to Doohan
The Yamaha factory team has withdrawn its offer to four-time
500cc world champion Mick Doohan for the 1998 grand prix season.
Yamaha team boss Wayne Rainey, himself a three-time champion
rider, said that time had run out for Doohan to accept a
reported package of up to $10 million to switch from Honda.
"We had put everything in place that Mick wanted, including the
budget, but there was a time limit," Rainey said from his home
in Monterey, California. "That time has now gone."
It is believed that Rainey's deadline was last Monday, the day
after the Czech Grand Prix, which Doohan won for his 11th
victory of the season, equalling the record for the most wins in
a season set by Giacomo Agostini of Italy in 1972.
The withdrawal of Yamaha's offer appears to leave the way clear
for Doohan to formally extend his deal with Honda into a 10th
season.
The Suzuki team had also made Doohan an offer, although team
manager Garry Taylor dismissed speculation about a $16.5 million
bid as "fanciful".
"I made Mick what I believe was a very good offer, but it seems
that it wasn't enough. I haven't heard from him," Taylor said.
It has long been expected that Honda were prepared to outbid any
offer from Yamaha or Suzuki for Doohan. "If I make something
real of the Honda deal it will make the others look like pocket
money," Doohan said at the recent British Grand Prix.
The president of the Honda Racing Corporation has reportedly
scheduled a visit to next week's grand prix in Barcelona to
formerly announce his team for next season, having already
retained the services of Spanish star Alex Criville.
Rainey said he would now move to his second option and also
announce his riders in Barcelona, with Frenchman and former
motocross world champion Jean Michel Bayle tipped to be at the
top of his shopping list.
The Yamaha boss conveyed his decision on Doohan to his
biographer Michael Scott. Scott's report of Rainey's move is
outlined in the latest issue of Australian Motorcycle News.

British backed team announces take-over of Tyrrell
LONDON (Dec 2, 1997 - 11:17 EST) - Formula One team Tyrrell have been
taken over by a new constructor, British American Racing, it was announced
on Tuesday.
The new team, a joint venture between British American Tobacco, Reynard
Racing Cars and Jacques Villeneuve's manager Craig Pollock, will contest
the 1999 world championship.
Villeneuve, who took the title after a controversial finish with Michael
Schumacher in Spain in October, is expected to drive for the new team,
with his Williams contract ending at the end of the 1998 season.
The move was welcomed by Bernie Ecclestone, the vice-president of Formula
One's ruling body the FIA. "British American Tobacco has been deeply
involved in motor sport for many years and I warmly welcome their return
to Formula One," he said.

JJ Lehto Joins Hogan Racing For 1998 CART Season
CART Online (December 4) -- Finland's JJ Lehto, a 31-year-old veteran of
Formula One and FIA GT competition, will turn to CART competition in 1998
as the new driver for Hogan Racing's Reynard Mercedes-Benz which will ride
on Firestone tires. The announcement was made Thursday by team owner Carl
Hogan.
"We are pleased to develop a relationship with a driver of JJ's talent and
professionalism," Hogan said. "Our agreement with JJ allows Hogan Racing
to be competitive for 1998 and beyond."
Lehto, born in Espoo, Finland, began go-kart racing at the age of six. His
extensive racing career includes five years of Formula One where he was
considered a rising star before a pre-1994 season accident hampered his
progress. In 1991 he earned his first podium finish (third at San Marino)
and from 1992 through 1994, Lehto had 19 top ten finishes in F1.
Most recently, Lehto drove for BMW in the FIA GT Championship where he
finished second in the point standings and was rated the top driver by
AutoSport Magazine. Lehto won four of 11 races: Hockenheim, Helsinki,
Spa-Francorchamps and Mugello, but ultimately lost the title to Bernd
Schneider and Mercedes-Benz in the finale at Laguna Seca in October. In
total, Lehto had four third place finishes for eight podium results
overall.
"I am excited to be joining Hogan Racing and the CART series," Lehto said.
"Having tested with Hogan Racing, I am impressed with their approach to
developing the car and team. I am confident that we can be a successful
team."
Lehto and his wife Satu, along with their two daughters, Julia (3) and
Johanna (9 months), plan to reside in the United States during the season.

Zanardi Tests New Firstone Rain Tires
------------------------------------------------------------
Intense rain tire tests witnessed in the desert
By Peter Burke
The conditions during this tire test last week yesterday
were excellent. About 78 degrees, sunny skies, no wind. For
two days in a row, Zanardi would come out for long stints
compared to dry testing at this track. He did about 15 lap
stints every time with the water truck coming and re-wetting
the track almost every time.
The team did very little setup changes to the car, basically
they only changed the tires and off he went! During the time
we observed the test, he did about 5 stints in just one
hour. They were working the champion like a dog! Tire
testing isn't fun. However - while Zanardi was shredding
these wet laps in the sun, Mark Blundell had to stand around
in a warehouse at the Las Vegas COMDEX show, posing next to
his engine-less Motorola show car, surrounded by thousands
of geeks who mostly ignored him, or kept asking "who drives
that car there?" Blundell arrived at Firebird a day after
Zanardi to recover from his PR duties among the computer
nerds his employer was trying to impress...
Zanardi ran these tests on the "West Track" at Firebird,
while most dry test sessions are held on the eastern, less
twisty track. The photos we have clearly show that the tires
tested had three significant grooves around the
circumference of the tire. The comparision photo below shows
that previous designs didn't have these grooves.
Interestingly, Goodyear had such grooves before moving to a
chevron design closer to Firestone's near the end of the '97
season.
During Zanardi's tests, the Players truck was also there.
Our reporter Ramon Avila heard them run, but whenever he got
to the track, of course they had stopped (and Ramon's lunch
hour was long over...). Unfortunately he was unable to
determine if Carpentier was already testing for Players,
although they were there for a full three days.
We are also still waiting for one of the first '98 cars to
show up - Fernandez didn't run at Firebird last week,
although cart.com had reported he would be there. We'll keep
our cameras loaded with film to be first to publish some of
the '98 designs. SpeedCenter also hopes to be able to attend
the Laguna Seca test in mid December, when the new Penske
cars may be seen for the first time.

Fernandez Hurts Ankle
------------------------------------------------------------
Will be out of car for 4 weeks
This report is based on a Quaker State press release dated
Nov. 26
Patrick Racing driver Adrian Fernandez suffered an injury to
his left ankle when he was visiting his mother in Mexico
City. He fell down some stairs and suffered a 'scratch to a
bone.'
Fernandez said: "This is one of my worst accidents in 10
years" He regrets this accident happened in such a
"ridiculous way" - he wasn't even in a car or working out.
Fernandez commented: "This mishap is very bad for me because
I was about to test the brand new '98 Reynard at the next
Phoenix practice session. I hope to get well soon to be able
as soon as possible to be back on the track."
Doctors at the hospital in Mexico City said he needed an
ankle operation but Adrian got in contact Dr. Terry Tramwell
in the US who advised against the surgery. Instead he will
use a tough bandage, combined with rehabilitation exercises.
Adrian will continue with his physical training to try to be
back with his normal live in few days.

Unapred zahvalan.
Pozdrav od pavijana.
auto-moto.710obren,
Izjave vozača nakon kvalifikacija:
Mika Hakinen: "Moja prva pobeda na poslednjem prošlogodišnjem Gran-priju
dala mi je ogromnu dozu samopouzdanja. Pomogla mi je da se opustim i
usresredim na ovu sezonu. Ovo je sjajan način da se počne sezone, a
naročito je bilo lepo videti ozarena lica tehničkog osobolja Meklarena
nakon završetka kvalifikacija."
Dejvid Kultard: "Zadovoljan sam drugom pozicijom, obzirom da sam tokom
celog vikenda bio sporiji nego što sam očekivo. Još uvek pokušavam da
prevaziđem neke probleme sa podupravljivošću bolida, ali uveren sam da
će do trke sve biti na svom mestu."
Mihael Šumaher: "Planirao sam da uđem među prvoplasirana tri vozača,
tako da sam srećan što sam u tome uspeo. Iako bolid još uvek nije na
onom nivou kakav smo planirali i očekivali, ipak je mnogo bolji nego
prethodne sezone. Na testiranjima smo mogli videti da su McLareni
izuzetno brzi, tako da smo i očekivali da će se plasirati ispred nas.
Visoka temperatura ne bi trebala da bude problem, čak ni za gume.
Znamo da smo još uvek po performansama iza Bridgestone (koje koristi
McLaren), ali Goodyear je postigao zavidan progres od januara naovamo.
Napravili smo izvesne kompromise kod setapa bolida tako da neće biti
tragedija ako ne pobedim sutra. Ipak, realno očekujem da se popnem na
podijum - možda jesmo iza McLarena ali smo ipak ispred ostalih timova
po performansama. Čak i sa novim pneumaticima, naša vremena su bolja
nego prošlogodišnja!"
Žak Vilnev: "Izgubili smo nešto vremena kada smo menjali bolid tokom
kvalifikacija, pošto sam imao nekih problema sa tehnikom. Konačno smo
uspeli da podesimo bolid kako treba pre mog poslednjeg izlaska na stazu
tako da sam uspeo da uhvatim četvrtu poziciju. Ne brine me previše
Šumaher. Naravno da bih voleo da sam u prvom startnom redu, ali prošle
godine smo imali pol poziciju sa više od sekunde prednosti pa opet
nismo uspeli da osvojimo ni jedan poen. Sačekajmo sutra pa ćemo videti
šta će biti ove godine."
Džoni Herbert: "Došao sam ovde u nadi da ću se plasirati među prvih
šest vozača, tako da sam oduševljen petim mestom. Ceo tim je odradio
fantastičan posao danas. Novi C17 ima odlične vozne karakteristike,
jako dobar odziv na komande volana, a i aerodinamika je jako unapređena.
Moja prethodne dve trke u Australiji završile su se već u prvim
krugovima, ali ne brinem zbog toga. Sutra idem na dobru završnicu jer
moj tim to objektivno zaslužuje i može.
H.H. Frencen: "Razočaran sam što sam se plasirao lošije od Žaka a
naročito zbog tolikog zaostatka iza Meklarena. Većinu vremena gubio
sam u poslednjoj trećini staze. Dao sam sve od sebe da distignem Žaka
ali na žalost bisam uspeo. Iznenađen sam sa ukupnim vremenima svih
bolida, jer sam očekivao da će vremena biti mnogo slabija nakon
svih ovih izmena na bolidima, uključujući i rezbarene gume."
Đankarlo Fizikela: "Tokom prepodneva uspeo sam da nađem odličan setap
za bolid, ali visoka temperatura tokom kvalifikacija donela je neke
neočekivane probleme sa preupravljivošću. Pokušali smo da nađeme rešenje
ali taman kada smo mislili da imamo pravi setap, na stazi je odjednom
bila strahovita gužva. Mislim da sam mogao da popravim vreme bar za dve
ili tri desetinke da sam imao relativno čistu stazu pred sobom."
Edi Irvajn: "Ponovo sam imao problem sa motorom, da nije bilo toga bio
bih daleko brži. Ipak, rešićemo problem do početka trke, tako da ne brinem
oko toga. Obzirom da ovde nisam previše trenirao sa malom količinom goriva,
trebalo mi je nešto vremena da se priviknem na ponašanje bolida na stazi
i nađem njegove granice. Sutra će glavni problem kod svih bolida biti
pouzdanost, tako da možete očekivati mnoga iznenađenja."
Ralf Šumaher: "Mislim da smo mogli da budemo malo brži ali ne toliko da
bi se naš poredak bitnije popravio. Bolid se ponaša prilično dobro, ali
nisam baš zadovoljan podatkom da smo 2 sekunde iza prvoplasiranog."
Dejmon Hil: "Mislim da smo se plasirali upravo onako kako sam i očekivao
nakon testoranja. Zaista ćemo morati da izvršimo neka poboljšanja na
bolidu da bi mogli da se plasiramo među prvih šest pozivija. Ipak, faktori
koji utiču na ishod trke su mnogo drugačiji od onih na kvalifikacijama,
tako da verujem da ćemo sigurno završiti trku sa osvojenim poenima, što
bi bio sasvim dobar start sezone."
Aleksander Vurc: "Zadnji točak se blokirao tako da sam se okrenuo na
stazi. Morao sam da odradim kvalifikacije u rezervnom bolidu podešenom
za Đankarla koji je naknadno, na brzinu podešen za mene. Setap mi baš
i nije odgovarao previše, ali eto uspeo sam da uhvatim 11. poziciju.
Ipak, setap za trku će biti potpuno drugačiji pa očekujem da će i moje
performanse biti mnogo drugačije nego što ste videli na kvalifikacijama."
Žan Alezi: "Moj problem je celog vikenda bio setap. Celo pre podne sam
pokušavao da podesim bolid kako treba, ali nisam uspeo. Jednostavno nisam
zadovoljan sa ukupnim balansom bolida."
Taranosuke Takagi: "Jako sam zadovoljan rezultatom obzirom da je ovo
moja prva trka u Formuli 1. Takođe, da sam bio samo malo brži, bio bih
plasiran među prvih deset vozača. Jako sam zadovoljan današnjim setapom
mog Tirel-Forda. Imam poverenja u bolid nakon mnogih testova koje sam
obavio sam njim tokom zime. Sada se moramo koncentrisati na sutrašnju
trku kako bi izvukli maksimum naših mogućnosti."
Rubens Baričelo: "Šta da kažem nakon svih ovoh problema koji su nas
pratili? Srećan sam što sam se uopšte kvalifikovao, obzirom da sam
imao samo 15 minuta na raspolaganju. Uradio sam sve što se realno moglo
uraditi pod ovim okolnostima. Očigledno, 14. pozicija nije baš najbolji
način da se počne jedna sezona, ali šta možemo."

Da, da, to sam mislio da napišem, odakle RTS, nemam pojma :))
Inače na Internetu (za one sa brzim linkom) može se pratiti RTL
(Eurosport, TV5, CNN ...) na adresi www.rodajc.nl, tj. moglo je do
pre 3 dana, danas sam probao i izgleda da nešto rade na stranici.
Biće bolje :)

Ne znam dal' da se smejem, il' da plačem.
Jes da je Kultard ispao fer što ga je pustio, ali dokle će tog nesrećnika
od Hakinena forsirati? Očigledno nije kalibar za šampiona ... nema tu
harizmu. Zar bi se ikad desilo Šumaheru ili Hilu da uđu u box, a da
mehaničari zaborave na njega :) To su upravo sitnice koje odvajaju odlične
vozače od šampiona.
A Kultard bi mogao da bude šampion sa ovim bolidom, samo kad bi ga malo
više podržavali.

Znash kako.. Choveka su ljudi iz boksa zvali unutra, shto ce reci, ne
da on nije sa tim imao nikakve veze nego.. A da je bolje vozio od Coultharda,
vozio je. A josh gore sitnice su se deshavale nekad i jednom Mansellu..

Verujem da bi Sumaher izasao iz kola nalupao im samare, sam promenio gume i
dosuo corbe, i nastavio trku, a posle trke bi ih verovatno streljao.
Salu na stranu, teska srca moram da priznam da je trka bez Svabe dosadna. I
ako sam ga do skora mrzeo iz dna duse (prvenstveno zbog Hila) sve vise mi je
gotivan. Jeste "prljav" ali ipak on daje stimung GP-u.

Ovo je stvarno smešno.
Mislim da se svi ostali timovi sad pitaju šta ih je snašlo.
Trećeplasirani kasni za ceo krug ?!? Strašno.
Gledajući po prethonim vremenima (petak, subota) Šumaher bi bio jedni
koga ne bi obišli za ceo krug, samo, 'šteta' zbog defekta.
Inače, organizatori ove trke su se žalili svetskoj organizaciji F1,
zbog načina na koji je Mika Hakinen pobedio. Kažu da su mnoge pare
izgubljene, jer oni koji su se kladili na Kultrada, sada stežu vrat
organizatorima trke.
