Erlekotte and Ottinger Do The Double

For the third and final time this season the stars of the iRacing.com Street Stock Series made a stop at the South Boston Speedway for some good short track online racing.  The final week of racing during Season Two saw a total of 925 sim racers participate in an official race during the seven days of competition.  Although over 900 sim racers attempted to master South Boston, the crown could only go to one driver and that was Elmar Erlekotte (DE-AT-CH) who earned the most championship points for Week Twelve. Weekly High Strength of Field Erlekotte’s week was a very triumphant one as he crossed the checkered flag first in the week’s highest Strength of Field (SoF) event.  The 2551 SoF featured Erlekotte leading all of the event’s 40 laps [...]

Williams reinstates KERS on both cars

Williams will put KERS back on Rubens Barrichello's car at this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix, after experimenting to see what effect removing it would have in Germany. The team wanted answers as to whether removing KERS would help with tyre degradation - so it elected to try it out at the Nurburgring.

Pineiro takes straightforward win

Ramon Pineiro took a straightforward win in the second Formula 2 race at Brands Hatch today. Starting alongside polesitter Mirko Borolotti, the Spaniard took the lead with a good move around the outside of Bortolotti's car at the first corner, and never looked seriously threatened thereafter. Bortolotti did well to avoid losing another spot to a strong challenge from race one winner Jack Clarke at the same time that Pineiro was driving past him, but he held the Briton off and the trio settled into the order that that would maintain for the rest of the race
