![]() Luego de varios años de desavenencias que provocaron la división de el más importante campeonato de monoplazas estadounidense, finalmente se llegó a un acuerdo para fusionar este año la Champ Car a la Indy Racing League (IRL), acuerdo en el que sin duda se beneficiaran los aficionados a estos bólidos. Los dirigentes de las series de automovilismo de monoplazas estadounidenses Indy Racing League (IRL) y Champ Car anunciaron un acuerdo para fusionar ambos circuitos con vistas a la temporada 2008, 12 años después de haberse separado. ![]() Video: Rueda de prensa de la unificación 27/02/08 El acuerdo se encamina a incorporar tres carreras de la Champ Car al itinerario original de la IRL, que contaba con 16 pruebas, con los grandes premios de Long Beach en California, Surfers Paradise en Australia y Edmonton en Canadá. El resto del calendario de Champ Car fue cancelado. A comienzos de la década de 1990, la serie CART, que luego cambió de nombre a Champ Car, era un destino habitual para pilotos europeos y sudamericanos, y tenía gran respaldo de los aficionados. La CART fue fundada en noviembre de 1978 por Roger Penske, Pat Patrick, Dan Gurney y otra serie de dueños de escuderías. La IRL comenzó a operar en 1996, con intención de dar espacio a los jóvenes pilotos estadounidenses, y CART tomó su propio rumbo hasta que se declaró en bancarrota en enero de 2004. George realizó la mejor oferta por las acciones de CART, pero un juez se las otorgó a Kalkhoven, Forsythe y Paul Gentilozzi porque el comprador había mostrado intenciones de clausurar la serie, lo que hubiera dejado a muchas personas desempleadas. Monoplaza. Los coches de las series IndyCar son monoplazas de al menos 1525 libras de peso y 192 pulgadas de longitud, con chasis monocasco y construidos con fibra de carbono y composite. Son coches con cambio de 6 velocidades secuanciales por palanca (no por levas) y sin dirección asistida. Los equipos pueden elegir entre 2 modelos de distintos fabricantes, bien sean los italianos Dallara o los americanos Panoz. ![]() ![]() El Motor de 3.5 litros V8 turboalimentados desarrollados por Honda (y construidos por Ilmor Engineering, compañía constructora de los motores Mercedes-Benz en F1 hasta 2005), capaces de transmitir más de 650 CV usando como combustible Etanol-Metanol. ![]() Los neumáticos son gomas son slick, con una grosor de la goma como el deaproximadamente 2.5 milímetros de espesor. Las dimensiones son 25.8 las delanteras pudiendo llegar hasta las 28 en las ruedas traseras. Los anchos: 28 centímetros alante y 38 atrás. Cada piloto dispone segun el tipo de circuitode 8 sets para Urbano/permanente y 7 sets para Ovales. En Indy 500 dispone de 35 sets. Street Tire / Race Tire ![]() Hay dos tipos de Frenos dependiendo de si corren en un óvalo o en un circuito urbano. En el caso del óvalo, los frenos son de carbono con cuatro pistones, y son más bien pequeños. En el caso del circuito urbano, los discos son de acero, más grandes y de 6 pistones. ![]() IndyCar Series.

Repostajes. ![]() Las paradas en boxes son también obligatorias en las IndyCar Series. Sin embargo, no se podrán realizar cuando la condición de la pista esté en "peligro", es decir, haya banderas amarillas y un coche de seguridad en el circuito, salvo que el dirigente de la carrera de la orden de "Pits Open". Todo aquel que haga una parada en esta situación será penalizado. En una parada de boxes podemos encontrar a 11 mecánicos. 4 se encargarán de sustituir las ruedas, 2 de ayudarles, uno sujetará el "chupete" o cartel de indicación de estado, 1 del respostaje junto a su ayudante y 1 mecánico se encargará de elevar el coche. El último, quizás el más curioso, es el que hace de "apagafuegos". Tras un respotaje, una vez retirada la manguera, él inyectará un chorro de agua sobre la boca del depósito para aplacar las posibles llamas. Recordemos que el metanol se apaga con agua y su llama es completamente invisible (de ahí que se realice siempre este procedimiento, tanto si hay llama o no). El Volante ![]() 1. OVERTAKE BUTTON: Changes the fuel map to 100 percent rich for a set amount of time, allowing the engine to produce the extra power needed to complete a pass or hold off another driver. 2. PI DASH: Displays warning lights and information the driver needs during the race. That information includes lap times, oil, water and gearbox temperatures and fuel mileage. 3. RPM SHIFT LIGHTS: LED lights that go from green to red and indicate engine RPM. When the red lights are on the driver shifts gears. 4. PIT LANE SPEED LIMITER: Used on pit lane by the driver to activate the engine control program limiting the cars speed to the pit lane speed limit, which is usually 60 miles per hour. 5. PULL-TO-TALK (BEHIND THE CARBON): Activates the microphone in the drivers helmet so he can communicate over the radio. 6. RESET: Used during the race. During a pit stop the driver pushes this button to reset the fuel reading on his display. 7. FUEL MAP SWITCH: Allows the driver to adjust the fuel mapping of the engine to increase fuel mileage or to increase power. There are a number of settings available including full rich, where the engine produces maximum power but uses more fuel. There is also a lean setting which uses less fuel but produces less power. During caution periods the drivers will switch to the leanest mixture to increase fuel economy. 8. DASH SCROLL: Allows the driver to scroll through the different pages available on the dash board, including the race page, qualifying page and practice page. 9. WEIGHT JACKER: Adjusts the cross weight on the car from left to right. The weight jacker allows the driver to make fine-tuning adjustments as the car begins to handle differently during the race. 10. DRINK (BEHIND THE CARBON): Allows the driver to get a drink of water during the race. It activates a pump connected to a water bottle on the car which pumps water through a hose installed in the drivers helmet. |

![]() ![]() KV RACING TECHNOLOGY QUALIFIES BOTH CARS FOR SEASON OPENING GAINSCO AUTO INSURANCE INDY 300 INDIANAPOLIS, IN - - MARCH 28, 2008 - - KV Racing Technology began its inaugural IndyCar Series season by qualifying both cars for tomorrow's Gainsco Auto Insurance Indy 300 at Homestead Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida. Oriol Servia, KV Racing Technology #5 Honda/Dallara/Firestone, qualified 16th overall with an average speed of 209.021 mph on the 1.5-mile high-banked oval. Teammate Will Power, KV Racing Technology #8 Aussie Vineyards Team Australia Honda/Dallara/Firestone, who was making his first appearance on a big oval, will start 21st after averaging 208.029 mph. KVRT, which received its first IndyCar chassis just three weeks ago and has only tested on an oval once, a two day test on March 24-25 here in Homestead, spent the first practice continuing the development work they began earlier this week. With the emphasis on learning, improving the car and getting track time, Power notched the team's fast lap during the one hour and 45 minute practice with a speed of 209.070 mph (25.570 seconds), which put him 19th on the speed charts out of a field of 25 cars. Servia, who is making his second appearance at Homestead in a high horsepower car, logged the 21st fastest lap with a speed of 208.695 mph (25.616 seconds). In Friday's second practice, which was split into two groups each with 30 minutes of track time, the team again continued to focus on developing the car. Power went out with the first group and appeared to have an improved machine. Despite running a slower speed, 208.528 mph (25.636), than during the first session he was 15th on the speed charts for the session, but remained 19th on the combined report. Servia, who practiced with the second group, once again recorded the 21st fastest lap clocking a speed of 206.964 mph (25.830) as the team worked diligently to balance his car. In qualifying Power went out eighth of the 26 cars for his first big oval qualifying session. Unfortunately, he could not find the speed and will start on Row #11. Servia, however, saved his best for last. Taking to the track 18th in the qualifying order he put together four very consistent laps, all easily his fastest of the day, and will start on Row #8. Commenting on his qualifying effort and tomorrow's race Servia said, "Overall we are trying to learn in two days what other teams have learned in five years. I thought I had the best car that I've had all weekend in qualifying today, which is what you want. And tomorrow I am sure we will have an even better car. What I would like is a balanced consistent car for the race tomorrow like I had for qualifying today. For KVRT, we just want to get some speed, do some miles, learn the car and just have a consistent race tomorrow." Power noted, "I was basically flat all the way round, I felt the KVRT Aussie Vineyard Team Australia car was improved from practice today, but we were lacking a little bit of pace. For me it is just about the race, get as many miles as I can, learn how to run in traffic while finding more out about the car." |
