Shell Historic Challenge – Passion and solidarity
Ferrari
Le Vigeant (Poitou-Charentes), 7th June 2009
Today the Shell Ferrari Historic Challenge’s second round came to an end at the French Circuit du Val De Vienne. The Challenge was held at the Sport & Collection event, dedicated to cancer research. The event is one of the most important meetings for historical cars with its slogan “ 500 Ferrari contre le cancer”. Thanks to the support of Maranello’s F1 Clienti department three historical single-seaters were sent onto the track: the car used by Felipe Massa in the 2006 Championship and the Ferrari 333 SP, the splendid car, which marked Ferrari’s comeback to the "Sport Prototype" races in 1993.

Panasonic Toyota Racing Chinese Grand Prix - Qualifying Round-Up

Chinese Grand Prix - Qualifying Round-Up
Saturday 18 April 2009
Panasonic Toyota Racing will head into tomorrow's Chinese Grand Prix with one car on row three of the grid after a tight qualifying session at the Shanghai International Circuit. On a sunny day in China, air temperatures ranged from 22-25°C while the track was 33-38°C. Timo Glock's day got off to an unfortunate start when he had a gearbox problem early in the morning practice session. That required a gearbox change and left him with a five-place grid penalty. This afternoon, in Q1 both drivers did their first run on the medium compound Bridgestone tyre before switching to the super soft for the second run. They stayed on the softer rubber for the rest of the sessions. Jarno had a successful afternoon, making it through to Q3 and setting the 6th fastest time. After his morning troubles, Timo struggled for grip in Q2 and qualified in 14th place, although he will drop to 19th after his penalty.
