OK, because now these problems with full grids were caused mostly by me, I will adjust the schedules of the stooge Montgomery Sterling Motors team to fix the over-capacity in the American rounds.

Car #54
Lord Remington-Wentworth Sterling (GBR) - Rounds 1, 2, 6, 7, 12, 13, 15, 18, 19, 20
Monk De Wally De Honk (BEL) - Rounds 3, 4, 5, 14, 16, 17
Toxteth O'Grady (USA) - Rounds 8, 9, 10, 11

Car #154
Kendal Mintcake (GBR) - Rounds 6, 7

Here are the results from pre-season testing at Brands Hatch.

novitopoli · Post by **novitopoli** » 21 Jul 2015, 10:12

We're quite satisfied with our testing. While we had some small troubles in the first day, the second day gave us the opportunity to show what a competitive package our Subarus are. Yet I think we can do even better when it will come to racing.

Voeckler Talent Management PR wrote:IPC Testing Quotes

Martin McGovern
Tide Infiniti Voeckler - Infiniti G35
"It was a little bit of an up and down couple of days. Most of our improvements in the off-season have been in aero, and given we had such a strong chassis and engine last season I wasn't worried much about reliability. The aero refinements seem to have done the trick, but we had some technical gremlins on the first afternoon.

"Overall a good couple of days though, lots of data gathered, the car still feels good, I'm optimistic for the year ahead, even if it seems some other teams caught up with us in development."

Adolfo Moretti
Alfa Corse - Alfa Romeo 155
"I'm really excited for the coming season. I am coming in from the outside, and during last season there was some question marks over how good the car was. But Luca [Pacchiarini] and Antonio [Delvecchio] demonstrated there was some promise there, and I can see now the car has been developed really well, really aggressively."

"I already felt quite comfortable on the first day, but as we tried more options and tweaked our setups, we found even more speed in the car. After the second day I'm confident we can be up there, challenging for the title."

Diego Mauricio Batistuta
BMW JLD Motorsport - BMW M3
"On the opening day I was scratching my head a little bit over setup. Morning times are okay, I made the changes that in theory should help me go faster, and bam, way off the pace. We were a bit better in the second day, but the setup changes aren't correlating to the expected behaviour of the car. There is pace in this car for sure, we just need to work on accessing it."

Jans Zeither
BMW JLD Motorsport - BMW M3
"This was not the start I hoped for, this is for sure. Car is not driving at all like I expected. The feeling is not comfortable yet. Of course myself and the team can to better, maybe it's a little more suited to Diego's aggressive style than my more smooth approach. We will work hard to improve."

Antonio Delvecchio
ICE-3 Racing - Alfa Romeo 155
"This week we were collaborating with the factory team to calibrate our car changes, and for sure this helped. Luca [Pacchiarini] is so experienced, he helped me a bit fine tune the setup to begin with and it worked well. Unfortunately though the changes we made for the second day didn't work. But this is part of testing, you must push the boundaries to find where is the correct limit for certain aspects of the car. Overall I'm happy with the progress, and I think we can have a good season, maybe even try to win the B Class title."

Santiago Guglielminpietro
Adriatica Touring Racing - Subaru Impreza
"A difficult introductory session for me. The feeling was not quite right, but I can tell the car has potential, you can see that from Dinella's times. But this is what testing is for, to work and work to fine tune the car to your style. We will get there, it just happened to suit Roberto straight away, whereas for me it needs some adjustment. I'm not worried, I am confident in my ability and the car is good so we should be fighting at the sharp end of the field this season I think."

Rafael Modena
Caterpillar Racing - Infiniti G35
"I'm happy for this moment. Car felt nice, responsive, the feeling was nice from the first turn of the wheel. Our work today was effective, we learn a lot. For the team this is a new car, but Infiniti sent some of the works teams engineers to help us bed in to the new equipment, this was a good step, we unlocked some pace immediately. Now, I focus not just to try and win our class title, but also in helping Deanna [McMahon], who was not so confident this weekend."

It's great having such an experienced driver as my teammate to help me settle in here, Sylvain's one of the best drivers in IPC, so it'll be a real challenge for me to try and keep up with him, but after last year, I'm really looking forward to repaying the team's trust in me to give me such a great opportunity so quickly.

The car has a good pace and we're feeling glad we went for Subarus in our IPC debut season. Roberto has been constantly quick and Santiago is getting more and more confident with the car as time goes, hence his good times at Rockingham and Silverstone. I've got the feeling Adriatica is set for good things this year.

The whole results from Pre-Season Testing have been very promising with both drivers Pedro Renales and James Davies in the top 10 on 1 occasion and on 4 occasions when at least 1 of their drivers were in the Top 10. With promising results in testing, the team are now reflecting that they are hoping to get off to a fresh start in their first season.

Our guys Diego and Jans have given us some great feedback so far, and we're working with the engineers to rectify some of the issues they've had with setup changes. We'll be doing plenty of testing in the facilities MRT have at Cologne before Adelaide as well to extract the maximum we can out of the car and develop our first upgrades package of the season.

Shin Ramirez wrote

The extensive testing allowed us to see what the improved aero in the Chevy can and can't do to help in the car's performance. Right now, it's nimble and very capable of making lighting laps, but I'm a little concerned about raw power in the longer runs and power circuits.

Artesia Mass wrote

Last year's development on the SS has payed, as the car is even more consistant than the old privateer Honda. I managed to make solid runs at a very controlled pace, with the new aero working beyond what we expected. Still a little behind in the engine power, but very hopeful to be fighting for the title.

Peter Oliver Wrote

It was great to be able to set a competitive lap time at Silverstone. The first test at Brands was about finding a setup that worked while Rockingham about learning the art of oval driving. So coming here allowed us to push for the first time. The car feels fantastic and behaves exactly how you want it too, looking forward to start the racing

Deanna McMahon wrote

The team has come along way this is a new car for us and we have managed to get a handle of it quite quickly, enabling us to focus into getting maximum performance out of the car. We were second quickest in the opening session at Silverstone so the performance is definitely there. Prospects for this year are looking good.

I have made a last-minute amendment to the rules - specifically, the points system (rule 3.3.5). Sprint races are no longer worth full points, and instead are awarded to the first 15 drivers in the following system: 35-30-27-24-21-18-16-14-12-10-8-6-4-2-1.

Bonus points will remain unchanged.

That's just about awesome! We really gave a perfect display of the car's potential, and both drivers had a great day: Santiago achieved a dominant win in our first race in the series, while Roberto set the fastest lap and gained a whole lot of positions. That's been a perfect day, let's just hope it goes on this way!

Rocha happy and mad at the same time
The owner of Lotto Racing said after the Class B race that he felt mixed feelings for the race. On one side, Carlos Torres finished a great 3rd place, a podium in the team's debut, but on the other, Rocha felt a bit angry after an incident with Jiri Komárek, of the Cardion PrimeCell Racing. Rocha, while running his 4th, was beeing chased by the czech driver, who then decided to give Rocha a little nudge, which sent the portuguese driver into the wall, and with the damage he got from the collision, he eventually lost pace, and went down to 18th place, a result he considere disapointing for himself: "Jiri drove a bit too agressive there. He just got too close to me, and then I felt a nudge, and the car veered into the wall. I think Jiri, while a very quick driver, needs to improve on that. But it was a racing incident. Just that Jiri needs to be more carefull".

Guly, 1st
Adriatica Touring Racing, Subaru Impreza
"I can't believe it! We made some big steps during pre-season testing, and ok yes, the car felt good, but there is so much talent in this series, even in the B-Class. I'm amazed to win the opening race. The setup was perfect, I felt I could manage the tyres easily, it was as good a race as I could possibly have dreamed of. There was one scary moment where Sandra Yoo wiped out just as I was about to lap her, but aside from this there weren't any problems. Now, we get the bonus of competing in the championship races, and the aim for this really is to try and fight the factory Subarus. If I can beat at least one of them, I will be happy I think!"

Manuarii Vahirua, 13th
Infiniti Junior Team, Infiniti G35
"Of course there is some disappointment to not make the A-Class races when a transfer spot was so close, but it was my mistake. I burned up the tyres too fast trying to make progress early in the race and it hurt me at the end. With a few laps left I had become a sitting duck. But it's an important lesson for sure, I'm here part-time to improve my skill with the more powerful and heavier cars, and always I am learning. I will take this experience into my next appearances."

Antonio Devlecchio, 15th
ICE-3 Racing, Alfa Romeo 155
"When I see my grid position, I know it's impossible to do much. To be on the back row of the grid in a street track with 40 cars is anyone's worst nightmare. OK, I am happy with the performance in theory, 24 places is a good progress through the field, but of course I'm not happy with the result still. I was hoping somehow to make the Top 10, but maybe this was too ambitious a target. We try again at Bathurst, hopefully I can start from a better position, because I'm sure between me and the car, we are capable of great results."

Rafael Modena, 17th
Caterpillar Racing, Infiniti G35
"Mamma mia, it was arms and elbows all over the track. Weaving, blocking, every kind of a crazy driving. I am so surprised the car made it to the end with so little damage. The feeling was not quite right, if I push to the limit the car starts to behave bad, so I drive at 90%, else maybe there is a spin or a crash. We must improve together going forward."

Lord Remington-Wentworth Sterling wrote:My goodness chaps, that was some smashing wheel to wheel sparring, was it not? Perhaps the final standing was not quite of the level one hoped for, however it certainly was an exciting motor race. It was a most enjoyable experience, and one cannot wait to embrace the challenging roads of Mount Panorama.

The cars were still really fast and we showed it in practice: sadly we hadn't much luck in qualifying, and the race was already pretty much compromised by the end of the first lap due to problems coping with the midfield traffic. Yet we're eager to come back to A-Class races during the next rounds!
