Radoye Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 3. april 1972, evropski F2 sampionat na Trakstonu u V. Britaniji, start.

U trci su izmedju ostalih bili i Grem Hil, Dzon Sartis, Dzodi Sekter, Majk Hejlvud, Anri Peskarolo, Piter Getin, Karlos Pace, Karlos Rojteman, Dejvid Parli, Bret Landzer, Vilson Fitipaldi, Zanpjer Zarije, Tim Senken... Trka je vozena na duzinu od 50 krugova / 190 km. Rezultati: 1 Peterson 1h 00m 19.4s 2 Sever 24 s zaostatka 3 Lauda krug zaostatka 4 Patrik Dal Bo dva kruga zaostatka 5 Klaudio Fransiski tri kruga zaostatka Nije klasifikovan Piter Vestberi 22 kruga zaostatka svi ostali su odustali sto zbog kvarova sto zbog udesa. Trakston je slicno Silverstonu staza sagradjena na prilaznim putevima napustenom aerodromu iz WW2 i vazi za najbrzu stazu u V. Britaniji, prakticno do danas nepromenjena jos od kraja 60-tih. Nezvanicni rekord staze drzi Dejmon Hil u demo voznji Vilijamsovog F1 bolida 1993. kad je okrenuo krug s prosecnom brzinom od preko 237 km/h. Danas se ovde voze sampionati BTCC i britanske F3... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radoye Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 https://racer.com/2021/09/03/steve-brody-1953-2021/ Quote Steve Brody won Indy Lights championships with Greg Moore and David Empringham. He worked in the Indy Racing League and was part of Eddie Cheever’s winning team at the 1998 Indianapolis 500. He won at life, amassing hundreds of friends in motor racing and a partner in Brenda Carpenter to share his life over the last 30 years. And on August 22, at the age of 68, a suspected heart issue brought his journey to an unexpected end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radoye Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Bil Vukovic, bez sumnje najveci automobilisticki as poreklom s ovih prostora (ako racunamo Juzne Slovene - dodamo li tu i Italijane rodjene na teritorijama danasnjih drzava naslednica SFRJ konkurencija mu je Mario Andreti ali verovatno bi i sam Mario razmislio da li bi sebe stavio ispred Vukovica!) - rodjen kao Veljko Vucurovic u porodici srpskih imigranata iz Crne Gore, mnogi ga smatraju za najboljeg ikada medju onima koji su okrenuli krug oko spidveja u Indijanapolisu. Na slici je momenat nakon osvajanja pol pozicije za trku 1953 - u poslednjem kvalifikacionom krugu Vukovicevog pokusaja poceo je veliki pljusak (vidi se da su mehanicarima mokre kosulje) no Vukovic nije usporio niti pomislio da udje u boks i odustane. Kazu da je kad je stigao do poslednje krivine toliko pljustalo da se bolid nije video na stazi i da su svi mislili da je udario u zid. No "Tihi Srbin" je prosao liniju cilja i zabelezio prosecnu brzinu od 138.392 mph (222,720 km/h) sto je bilo dovoljno za pol poziciju. U pozadini levo vidimo Troja Rutmana koji je dosao da cestita - veliki Vukovicev prijatelj, pobednik Indija 1952, koji je ovom prilikom pauzirao zbog povrede ruke zadobijene u jednoj Sprintkar trci. Vukovic je te 1952. dominirao startujuci s drugog mesta i vodio 150 krugova da bi mu 9 krugova pre kraja pukla letva volana. Uspeo je da kontrolisano zaustavi bolid uz spoljni zid staze u T3 tako da ne ugrozi ostale vozace na stazi a Rutman je nasledio pobedu (on je do danas najmladji pobednik na Indiju, 22 godine i 80 dana). Indi 1953. je ostao zapamcen kao najtopliji u istoriji, 33 stepena uz ogromnu vlaznost. Dok su mnogi drugi odustajali ili trazili da ih na par krugova odmenu rezervni vozaci dok se ne osveze, Vukovic je odvezao jos jednu dominantnu trku u kojoj je vodio 195 krugova i uzeo svoju prvu pobedu. Vidimo ga na slici dole sa suprugom iscrpljenog posle trke: 1954. Vukovic se kvalifikuje tek na 19. mesto ali to ga ne sprecava da odrzi jos jedan javni cas voznje. Probivsi se na celo, vodi 90 krugova i uzima svoju drugu pobedu. Jedno od "prokletstava" Indija je da ovde niko nikad nije pobedio triput uzastopce. 1955. Vukovic se kvalifikovao kao peti, brzo izbio na celo i ponovo dominirao - da bi u 56. krugu trke naleteo na udes zaostalih Ala Kelera, Dzonija Bojda i Rodzera Vorda. Ne uspevsi da se zaustavi na preprecenoj stazi, Vukovicev bolid se lansirao preko jednog od ostecenih bolida, preleteo ogradu i izleteo na parking van staze. Bil Vukovic je na mestu ostao mrtav. Vukovic je zacetnik vozacke dinastije, njegov sin Bili se uspesno takmicio od polovine 60-tih do polovine 80-tih (12 startova na Indiju i jos 4 neuspesna pokusaja kvalifikacija) i jos uvek je medju nama, unuk Bil III se 3 puta kvalifikovao za Indi krajem 80-tih (ruki godine 1988.) pre nego sto je i on tragicno stradao u Sprintkar udesu.

Radoye Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Fransoa Sever na pocetku svoje prerano prekinute karijere, 11. avgust 1968. na F3 trci na Nogaru u svom privatnom Tekno 68 Ford bolidu. Sever je pobedio ispred Zanpjer Zabuja i Zanpjer Kasegrena. Od buducih poznatijih vozaca tu su bili jos i Patrik Depaje (ispao zbog kvara), Rene Ligone (buduci pobednik u klasi do 2.0 l na Lemanu, ovde zavrsio osmi), Erik Ofenstad (poznatiji na 2 nego na 4 tocka)... Depaje je bio uzeo pol, Sever i Zabuj su postavili identicne najbrze krugove (tada se merilo do u desetinku). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radoye Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 31. januar 1971, 24h Dejtone. Na slici je Penski Ferari 512M Specijal, posada Mark Donohju / Dejvid Hobs. Penski je kupio ovaj Ferari polovinom 1970. i potpuno ga razmontirao, redizajnirao pojedine sklopove i ponovo ga sastavio s idejom da krene na svetsku titulu u kategoriju sportskih prototipova. Za posadu je angazovao svog Indikar vozaca Donohjua i F5000 asa Hobsa. 24h Dejtone je bilo prvo zakazano pojavljivanje na stazi i Donohju i Hobs lagano uzimaju pol. Sve je teklo po planu do negde oko ponoci. Donohju je bio za volanom kada se ispred njega okrenuo Vik Elford u Porseu 917 kojeg je obilazio za citav krug. Hobs je prikocio da izbegne udes ali je na njega otpozadi naleteo jedan Porse 911 sa amaterskom posadom. Donohju je uspeo da se vrati do boksa gde su uz pomoc cekica i selotejpa nekako skrpili bolid i uspeli da nastave na kraju uzevsi trece mesto iza Pedra Rodrigeza i Dzekija Olivera u fabrickom Porseu 917 i fabrickog Ferarija 512 Spajder posada Roni Baknam i Toni Adamovic... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably saw it run in all its Can-Am Cup-quashing glory back in 1973, with its engineer Mark Donohue at the wheel. You may think motorsports had never been so good nor produced a car so dominant. And you’d be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
