San Jose Doesn't Disappoint.

The kickoff to the 2010/2011 USGP Winter Pro Tour was a definate success last night.

After an hour and a half of a deserted server the group finally arrived, although there were only five drivers there was definitely alot of action. 

Mechanical failures were key in the race at San Jose, the tight tricky track was a great start to a great season ahead. Only two cars survived the tough street circuit during the 60 minute race.

Up and Down Night In Abu Dhabi

           USGP At Yas Marina Circuit Abu Dhabi

USGP Race Recap


What a season it was guys. We might've missed a couple of tracks from lack of people but it sure was a good season. Best part is that the league is growing in numbers! And what better track to end the F1 2010 tour than Abu Dhabi, The Yas Marina Circuit.

P1 Ended with Lynch@NY setting the fastest time at 1:43.8, Myself at a 1:45.3 Denman at a 1:48.2 and CJ Miller at a 2:08.3 

It wasn't long until Lynch set another fastest lap in P2 after getting in a scrap with the Williams driver. His lap was a 1:42.958 which would stay as the fastest of this weekend. The rest of the field stayed around their P1 time. J. Ruth: 1:44.199  J.Denman 1.47.521 and CJ Miller of Williams at a 2:08:674


Qualifying brought a new challenge. The track wasn't lit as well and a dark track and Parc Ferme brought lap times down for most drivers.   Lynch set pole for the fourth straight time at 1:44.845 followed by J.Ruth at 1:45.539 J. Denman at 1:53.160 N. Johnston at 1:57.313 J. Johnston at 1:58.009 and CJ Miller at 2:14.555


As we all know..The unexpected and the worst seems to happen in races. This came true tonight for 4 drivers. J.Ruth Picks up a DNF on lap 2 due to a faulty connection. Lynch had engine problems that drug him out of the race and N. Johnston also fell to a DNF. CJ Miller Crashed out on lap 3

In the end John Denman picked up the win with only 2 cars finishing up. I think it is well deserved and well fit that the server host and league creator wins the final GP of the year. USGP continues next weekend with it's Pro Winter Tour.

                     Screens from Sunday at Abu Dhabi

One Last Push.

Abu Dhabi..Possibly one of the best F1 circuits built in recent years and by far causing the most pressure. The track is fast and you encounter two long straights each lap followed by the twists and turns of a street circuit. No doubt Abu Dhabi is challenging it's almost like an Endurance race.

Vettel came into todays race in third for the points and trying to fight Ferrari's Alonso and even his Teammate Webber. Hell even McLaren gave it all they had but Sebastian Vettel dominated the track today and the rest of the field. With a win and the help of the Renault team Vettel won the 2010 World Driver's Title here.

Sebastian Vettel, Congratulations on becoming the youngest driver to ever win the Formula One World Driver's Title.
