Racing Engineering press release Solid Race - looking forward to sprint race The team are pleased to have got the season off to a positive start with points in the first feature race - it would have been nice to have got a few more, but Kamui's finishing position does put him on the front row for the sprint race, and a chance of the win. Pitstops are still an area of concern with Kamuby ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Racing Engineering Top 10 for Kamui Kamui jumped in the car and secured a 9th place in only his first session around the imola circuit, and we're pleased for him. Puts him in a good position for points tomorrow and a possible sprint race pole. Another bad session for Benoit and he will sit out the next grand prix to give Lopez a chance in both practice and the race unless he can scorby ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Racing Engineering Statement Disastrous session To be 1/4 and 1/2 a second away from the leading pace is a real shock to us after what seemed like a positive test season. Perhaps the lack of other teams sending data to Mercedes has cost us here - We'll be doing everything we can in future sessions to improve the performance for all mercedes teams. Lopez has done his chances of a raceby ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Racing Engineering Statement Pre-season testing summary Overall, we're happy with the outcome of the pre-season tests both in terms of pace and reliability. All 3 drivers have been very close together and making a decision between them is going to be a challenge, but we'd like to run the following lineup in the first race weekend Practice: López & Tréluyer Qualifying andby ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
reve-san, I'm sorry to hear of your loss. Nice to see you back on the forum.by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Vettel will not be eligible for GP2 next season (assuming he completes 10 races in F1 this season, and given his testing pace I guess it is inevitable) I like the rule, and that if F1 teams want to promote then they can be loaned (or swapped)by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
This is an interesting idea, although Vettel is already signed up for F1 manager this season, aged 19. pycku Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I think we can introduce a rule that drivers aged > below 20 or 21 are not allowed to drive in F1by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4

Racing Engineering Statement Another couple of great sessions, especially day 2. Lopez gets a chance soon and will have to drive well to get a race seat. We're pleased we've been able to give our partners Mercedes a good amount of data, and look forward to working closely with them for the rest of the season.by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Considering how fast the F1 thread has got through their pre-season tests, what is the timetable for the forthcoming tests? We have now firmed up our plans for the remaining sessions, and they are as follows: 1 - Catalunya Day 2 - Pace - Kobayashi & Treluyer 2 - Jerez Day 1 - Reliability - Kobayashi & Lopez Day 2 - Reliability - Kobayashi & Treluyer (send data) 3 - Valeby ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
We'll send the collected data yes, and we'll stick with these two drivers for the next session, and continue to focus on speed.by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Racing engineering will be focussing on pace and using kobayashi and truyelerby ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Love the idea - started work on something myself, but found I had too much else to do. My plan was to do them per track for folks who use custom trackpacks on TSM. Maybe consider this for tracks which aren't part of a trackset.by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
I quite like the idea of an Arab league for money!! Surely we could also have an extended Asia Cup (6 rounds instead of 3) - track suggestions (Melbourne, Kuala Lumpa, Suzuka, Turkey), or a American series (Canada, USA, Brazil) It all depends how authentic we want to keep the series - there will be tracks which exist now, which didn't in 2006 (Singapore, Korea, India, Abu Dhabi)by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Racing Engineering Press Release More points for Kamui Kamui Kobayashi successfully converted a pole position into points today, and showed he is in the top tier of drivers in this class. Clearly SuperNova and iSport are going to be the teams to beat, and they have quality drivers. Still 3rd place overall in the cup, including one race where we scored no points is a good point to start from,by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Any news on the race?by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Just done a race weekend on this one, and had a great time. Couple of demanding corners which can catch you out if you're not on your A game. Flawless as far as I could see. Keep up the good work.by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Racing Engineering Press Release ポールポジション Kamui Kobayash was thrilled to pick up his first pole position in the GP2 series and thanked the team for giving him the chance. It was a close session for sure, and we hope that our race performance is a little better than it has been in the last 2 races. We know the competition from Super Nova and Red Bull Juniors will be tough in tomorrows race.by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Racing Engineering Press Release 2nd drivers evenly matched We're pleased to see that both drivers have matched each other so closely in todays practice session, but we think there must have been something wrong with the set-up for us to be so far off the pace. Hopefully some adjustments overnight and Kamui back in the car alongside Benoit should see a step towards the top 10. Points lby ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
I don't suppose in future races you could post up the race chart so we could see who made pit stops when. Thanksby ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Racing Engineering Statement Points wash away A disappointing race today, where again, we missed the chance to gain useful points due to what we suspect was poor work by the team during the pit-stop stage of the race, although the reason for his drop out of the points seemed to be missed. We probably should have pitted a couple of laps earlier and made the switch to slicks. We apologise to Kaby ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4

Racing Engineering Press Release Rain washes away pole hopes After a promising practice session where we were in contention for the pole position, the heavens opened and made a lottery of the session. Lopez lost out badly, and the management are concerned about the chances of getting involved in an incident starting so close to the back. Kobayashi has once again shown his team-leading potentiby ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
not what I was hoping for after such a strong start, but looking closer, it won't take much for either driver to jump up the order. Hoping for both in the top ten. Lopez needs a performance if he is going to make us consider him for the start of the championship proper. btw, that campos car looks amazing, even without a drivers head!!by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Forgot to say - Excellent coverage Reve-san - really felt the story of the race.by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Racing Engineering Press Release Double Points finish on debut delights team We're really pleased with the job we've done today, although it would have been nice to have got the win, but we lost out in the pit-stop stage by coming out in traffic. Kamui did a superb job throughout, and after a shaky start Lopez did well to come through and claim a point - if this had been a full weeby ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
What an amazing race - Couldn't believe the number of incidents and drivers dropping into the gravel.by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Racing Engineering Statement Kamui leads the way again A great opening session to the Asia Cup sees Japanese youngster Kamui Kobayashi take the early spoils to continue his great form from testing. With just 2 tenths covering the top 10, it'll be the driver who makes the fewest mistakes who will be taking pole in the next session, and Kamui looks well set given his error-free lap today.by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
