Enhorabuena a Uri. En Indianapolis lo hizo de lujo hasta que tuvo que abandonar, asi que no tengo la más minima duda de que dará el 100%. Espero que pueda terminar la temporada porque por calidad se lo merece y por insistencia todavía más.

Oriol Serviá regresa a la IRL sustituyendo a Doornbos


El piloto español Oriol Serviá volverá a competir en la Indy Racing League (IRL) el próximo domingo en la carrera de Mid-Ohio, al volante de un coche de la escudería Newman/Haas/Lanigan, en sustitución del holandés Robert Doornbos. "Estoy por volver a competir y porque lo voy a hacer con el equipo que he tenido mas éxitos en mi carrera"

Doornbos decidió abandonar la escudería NHL para fichar por lo que resta de temporada con HVM, que participará con un segundo coche. Oriol Serviá regresa a la escudería para la que ya competió en 2005, cuando sustituyó al brasileño Bruno Junqueira accidentado en las 500 millas de Indianápolis. El piloto catalán manifestó que: "estoy muy contento con esta oportunidad por varias razones. Primero porque vuelvo a competir y segundo, porque lo voy a hacer con el equipo que he tenido mas éxitos en mi carrera".

Serviá añadidó que: "no he tenido mucho tiempo para prepararme, pero la última vez que me avisaron con tan poco tiempo terminé en el podio y no se si volverá a ocurrir otra vez. Quiero dar las gracias a Carl (Haas) y Mike (Lanigan) por acordarse de mi y no les voy a defraudar".

Oriol Servia, No. 06 Dallara/Honda/Firestone: We didnt manage to do the best job in terms of timing to get on track. We still could have been okay because the car felt really, really good especially on red tires but the yellow flag came out to end the session and I had only completed one (fast) lap. On the second lap I was already three-tenths (of a second) up in two corners then the full course yellow came out and we were seventh quick so we didnt make it to the next round. We got on the track behind some slower cars and then it took me a lap to get a gap and I had only completed one fast lap before the yellow came out. It was a little bit of bad timing and bad luck. Unfortunately we couldnt show what the car was capable of and I really felt comfortable finally. The car feels really good so it should be good for the race.

Direis lo que querais, pero me parecen espectaculares los coches de la Indy.........

Oriol Servia, No. 06 Dallara/Honda/Firestone: "In a way you hope for some luck or a crazy race when you start 14th but the truth is it was a pretty straightforward race. It was really hard to overtake and when you start 14th you have your work cut out for you. I hope they increase the Push to Pass to 25 horsepower from five. We got by two or three cars at the start and we passed people on restarts but then once everybody had their pace it was difficult to pass. I thought we had a car that was faster than whoever I had around me the whole race but it was just not enough to overtake. We were trying to save fuel a trying not to make mistake and see if other people would make them. It was my first race after a few months so Im sure I will be sore tomorrow."

curtcavin: Oriol Servia will remain in the No. 06 car at Infineon and probably Chicago. Read tomorrow's Star to find out who might follow. #indycar - http://twitter.com/curtcavin/statuses/3211168447

victoria de dixon. oriol 11º bien aunque no le salio bien la estrategia fue el unico en empezar con los blacks paro unas vueltas antes de los que tenia detras y con esto luego perdia posiciones. igual le hubiera salido bien si se pudiera adelantar, pero solo pudo en los restarts.

[f1fansince1987]

Ojala tenga mas suerte en el Infineon de Sonoma dentro de 2 semanas

He estado desconectado del mundo unos días, y me encuentro con esta magnífica noticia. Oriol de nuevo con Newman-Haas!!

Seguro que mantiene el asiento hasta final de temporada y ojalá que vuelva a ganar una carrera

Oriol Servia, No. 06 Dallara/Honda/Firestone: The weekend started as bad as it could which was not running in the only practice session before qualifying. But the car was good and I started to feel more comfortable with the track in the morning warmup and we were fifth fastest. It was just a matter of getting some clear laps to prepare. I knew we had a car to go fast. We saved a lot of fuel at the beginning which gave us an extra two or three laps on others and when they pitted we pushed and made up track position. For some reason I had a feeling that the start was going to be messy and it was; I dont even know what happened. I just saw (car) parts and more parts flying in the air. There was a moment where I could have been a little more aggressive but you never know where the cars are going to be coming from. Im happy no one touched us and we gained a lot of spots. Its always exciting racing with Justin; weve been racing together many years and its always as hard and fair as it gets. The proof of that is that he made a couple of over-optimistic maneuvers but he still managed not to wreck me or himself. Its what you expect from a real racer. I was on blacks (Firestone standard tires) and everyone was on reds so I was sliding all over the place, more than them. But the car was great and I was able to keep ahead of Justin. Its always exciting to come from the back and finish sixth. When you are that close to the front you always want more and you get a little hungrier. Considering how the weekend started and our starting position I think we should be pretty happy. It should be a good morale boost for the next couple of races and hopefully were going to be at the front. I want to thank Carl, Berni (Bernadette) and Mike for the opportunity to race here. I enjoyed it.

FAST FACTS: Was his second race here. Last year he started sixth and finished 15th for KV RacingPrior to racing at Mid-Ohio two weeks ago for NHLR, his previous road/street course race was in the 2008 season-ending exhibition race in Australia on October 26Competed for the team in 2005 as the replacement driver for the injured Bruno Junqueira and earned seven podiums in 11 eventsHe earned 28 points and is ranked 27th overall with a total of 57 after running in three of the 14 races.



Dario Franchitti resisted race-long pressure from the Penske drivers to clinch victory at Sonoma.
The Ganassi driver had Ryan Briscoe on his tail for the majority of the race, but managed to lead from flag to flag and secure a win that brought him back into the thick of the title fight as his team-mate Scott Dixon finished only 13th.
Mike Conway recovered from a first lap collision to take a brilliant third, the Dreyer & Reinbold rookie's first IndyCar podium, ahead of Mario Moraes (KV) and Hideki Mutoh (Andretti Green).
Dixon was another of the eight drivers involved in the opening lap tangle at Turn 2. The accident ended EJ Viso's race, and forced Marco Andretti, Conway, Tony Kanaan, Dixon, Franck Montagny, Danica Patrick and Graham Rahal to pit for repairs.
After a lengthy yellow to tidy up debris from this incident, Franchitti and Penske driver Briscoe made an early break from the field, running nose to tail throughout the stint.
Helio Castroneves had spent the opening laps resisting a strong challenge for third from Mutoh, but a change to the red tyres at his first pitstop allowed Castroneves to charge away from the Japanese driver and join Franchitti and Briscoe in a three-car lead train.
The trio were covered by just a second for much of the middle stint, before Castroneves' victory challenge ended when he tangled with the yet-to-stop Kanaan just after his final pit visit. The Penske Dallara was briefly airborne and landed heavily, and it was little surprise to see Castroneves start tumbling down the order afterwards.
He had fallen to sixth by the time his damaged suspension gave way on lap 66, sending him ploughing off the road and causing the final yellow.
The late restart gave Briscoe - who had continued to lurk behind Franchitti after the last stops - a final shot at taking the lead, but the Scot would not be denied and edged clear in the sprint to the flag, although Briscoe's second place put him back in the championship lead.
A late charge from Conway saw the rookie pass both Moraes and Mutoh in the closing laps, giving the Briton a shock podium despite his early delay.
Mutoh also dropped behind Moraes after being wrong-footed by Conway's move. That earned Moraes a career-best fourth, after he benefited from the first lap crash and a great opening lap to leap up the order from 14th on the grid.
Newman/Haas/Lanigan's Oriol Servia and Dale Coyne driver Justin Wilson came through to sixth and seventh after their troubled qualifying sessions. Servia escaped a mid-race tangle with Ryan Hunter-Reay that smashed the Foyt car's front wing, while Wilson made an errant tactical pitstop to take on 'red' tyres earlier than his rivals and also lost time with a half-spin while trying to overtake Mutoh.
Kanaan claimed eighth, ahead of Raphael Matos (Luczo Dragon) and Robert Doornbos (HVM). Dixon had been on course to salvage 10th, only to be nudged into a spin by Andretti at the final corner. The officials later reversed their positions to move Dixon up from 14th to 13th, leaving him 20 points behind Briscoe in the standings.
