iets negeren mag anders ook wel...

[Jakkel]

Dat bikefreak soms eens iets onnozels uit z'n botten slaat ga ik niet tegenspreken, maar heb jij ooit anger management overwogen ???

Anger management!?
Wauw zeg, wat een moeilijk woord.

Noem jij dit al 'anger'??
Dan heb jij mij nog niet 'anger' gezien zenne.

Lijkt me inderdaad ook wel de beste methode.
Maar ik betwijfel of de ‘anger’ in mij dat wel kan.

Ik was gewoon te snel en onoplettend (met reden overigens, maar daar ga ik hier niet over uitwijden). Dat filmpje had ik gezien, maar wel een aantal uur voordien. Ik bekijk dat geen twee keer. Ik ben soms wat slordig in die dingen. Take it or leave it.

2005 NÃœRBURGRING 24h-RENNEN
11 May 2005

SUBARU World Rally Team, SWRT’s WRC French driver, Stéphanne Sarrazin has participated in the traditional endurance race “Nürburgring 24 hours race� on 7th and 8th of May 2005. He shared IMPREZA WRX STI of an endurance version prepared by Prova Racing Division in the race with 3 Japanese drivers. The trouble-free IMPREZA despite of the first challenge, finely ran 24 hours and was 2nd in the A6 class, 14th overall at the flag.

Start>>

The 24 hours race in Nürburgring started at 15:00 on 7th May 2005. However big drops of rain wetted the track surface just before the rolling start’s flag was waved and the race started at 15:20 practically. The starting driver was Kazuo Shimizu who left the grid that was 10th in the class and 42nd overall.
Shimizu could make the most of Symmetrical AWD System on the 1st lap among the field greatly confused by the weather and came back to the line at the 24th position passing as many as 18cars. He took better position without any trouble and came up to 21st on lap 5. After Shimizu finished his stint of 6 laps, Stéphanne was at the wheel. The car No.67 IMPREZA became 7th in the class and 22nd overall at 17:00, after 2 hours from the start.

Comment from Stéphanne Sarrazin
“It was my first Nürburgring experience and my first impression was that the course was well built. Unlike the other tracks, it was similar to a public road and fit for IMPREZA, I think. Also the course had a long lap and included sections of down-hill and hill-climb. It was exciting for me to feel like enjoying a combination of rally and race. I am driving IMPREZA WR car in WRC in this season. This IMPREZA here has also a low center of gravity and an excellent symmetrical AWD which has good turn-in ability that is the original goodness of production car. Additionally the car was very neutrally conditioned, quick and had enough power. I was surprised at the good birth of IMPREZA again during the race in Nürburgring.�

After 6 hours>>
It was raining off and on. IMPREZA No.67 ran stably and once brought the team 9th overall position after the routine pit stops. After 6hours passed and the car came to the pit earlier than scheduled for a change of hub on the lap. The car's position was lowered by that pit stop however 7hours after the start, at 22:00 it was 4th in the class and 29th overall.

After 12 hours>>
At 23:20, Shimizu returned for the 5th pit stop after his stint and Stéphanne Sarrazin took his place. He chose new slick tyres. When the date was changed at 0:00, Sarrazin overtook the other contenders and came up to the 23rd position overall. It retained the 4th position in the class but the car No.59 M3 GTR was just 1'16" behind at the 3rd place. Immediately before 1:00am, Sarrazin came back to the pit and Toshihiro Yoshida seated for his stint. The rain has stopped completely and the track surface was almost dry. But some cars were abandoned here and there on the track by accidents or troubles. The atmospheric temperature was 0ºC. In the meantime, IMPREZA could run without any problem and was 3rd in the A6 class and 18th overall at 3:00am.

After 18 hours>>
At 5:00am the sky was growing light between clouds. After 15 hours from the start, at 5:57 Shimizu drove down to the pit keeping the 3rd place in the class, 18th overall. Stéphanne was at the wheel and drove the car making its pace in the morning sunshine. It became cloudy after 7 o'clock and has begun to sprinkle sometimes. At 9:00am, 18 hours after the start, the car No.22 BMW M3 stopped on the Grand Prix circuit by a mechanical trouble, which was good condition and 1st in the class until just after 8:00am. Accordingly the car No.59 BMW M3 GTR became the leading car, but the car No.67 IMPREZA was only 22 seconds off the pace. On lap 94, car No.59 M3 GTR returned to its pit. No.67 IMPREZA took the top by seizing the chance. IMPREZA then returned to its pit on lap 95 keeping the top in the class and 14th overall. The driver switched from Toshihiro Yoshida to Kumi Sato but the tyre type remained shallow grooved. IMPREZA had to hand over the leading position of the class to the car No.50 NSX during the stop, however it was aiming at running steady to regain it during the remaining 6 hours.

At 9:30am Kumi Sato left the pitlane when the remaining duration was less than 6 hours. IMPREZA was on the same lap as No.50 NSX that was the top in the class and the difference was approx. 4’10�. Around 10:30 am there was a hailstone about 5mm attacked the track. Sato was in a mess as her visibility was lost in white but managed to control the car to bring it to its pit one lap earlier. Then Shimizu chose deep grooved wet weather tyres for the first time in the race and left the pitlane. But only after 30 minutes the sun has begun to shine. At 13:42, Yoshida was behind the wheel at the last pit stop and chose shallow grooved wet weather tyres as the weather was not predictable till the end of the race. It approached the finale.

At 15:00, more than 180,000 spectators were astir with the excitement of the finale and the sounds of air horns arose here and there. The position of BMW works that was 1st overall could be found by the helicopter’s location hovering over it. Finally the BMWs won the overall victory for 18 times, 2 years consecutively and finished 1st and 2nd in this Nürburgring race. In the field led by the BMWs, there was No.67 IMPREZA driven by Yoshida! The IMPREZA took part in the 24 hours race for the first time, ran 124 laps and successfully finished 2nd in the class and 14th overall. The result testified IMPREZA’s good birth like a production car brought up in Nürburgring. Stéphanne Sarrazin drove the car carefully although he kept running with quicker lap times in any condition and contributed significantly to the team's strategy. It should be worth mentioning that IMPREZA completed the duration of 24hours among the Nürburgring regular contenders in spite of its first challenge and ran trouble-free through a severe forest course of Eifel plateau over 25km per lap.
Comment from Stéphanne Sarrazin
“It was a good race. Despite of the normal specifications we could achieve 6th - 7th best lap time among more than 200 cars. Of course we wanted to be the class winner, but I think it was a very good experience both for drivers including me and team staffs. It was a test for the new aerodynamics in this race, and we could know that its stability was excellent at high speed. I want to show good performance also in WRC next.�

Knap filmpje! Wie zat er achter het stuur? Blijkbaar iemand met ervaring.

Knap filmpje! Jammer dat het versnelde beelden zijn.

Idd, knap filmpje !

[Jakkel]

Zijn dit geen versnelde beelden?

Dit zijn helemaal geen versnelde beelden, dit is een Impreza WRX STI. Hoogst waarschijnlijk nog de Amerikaanse versie met een 2.5 liter motor met 300 Pk (0-100 km/h in 4,8 s). Dankzij de vierwielaandrijving kan die zo snel ronjes draaien. Een BMW M3 bijvoorbeeld kan z'n megavermogen maar kwijt op de twee achterste wielen, die zou bijgevolg ter plaatse wat rondjes staan draaien.
