Baltimora esce dal calendario 2014

 

Il circuito cittadino di Baltimora non farà  più parte del calendario Indycar. Almeno nel 2014. Entratavi nel 2011, la città  del Maryland ha dovuto fare i conti con spese eccessive e, nell'ultima edizione, anche con le critiche per le troppe interruzioni.

 

Sinceramente non ne sentirò la mancanza, soprattutto per via di quell'assurda chicane prima dei binari del tram.

 

Baltimora rimarrà  comunque nella storia per essere stata il posto dove ha corso una macchina con muso posteriore :zizi:

Valentina Martinet attempts to maneuver tire and air gun in a fluid motion. It’s not a record time, but she’s ecstatic by completing the task.

“That’s hard,†she exhales, raising her arms as if crossing the finish line of a marathon.

 

The videographer whirls around to capture the tire change exhibition in the Andretti Autosport shop by the four women who star in the Italian TV show “Donnavventura†(Adventure Women). The group, which includes a ski instructor and architecture student, was selected to tour the United States for four months.

 

Their dolce vita will be edited into 10 hour-long episodes starting in January 2014. The show, which is viewed by more than 3.5 million each week, is in its 25th year. The group began their “extraordinary adventure,†as described by Michela Gazosi, in New York.

“We are discovering this country and we drive every day for long distances but it is exciting,†said Gazosi, who also was a member of the 2011 Indian Ocean adventure team. “In New York we went on a cruise of the Hudson River and saw Manhattan from the sky (helicopter tour). We then went to Amish country (in Pennsylvania). They are a little shy. Then we went to South Bass Island in Ohio. We toured the island and it was very relaxing.

“We changed completely by coming here with the Indy cars.â€

 

The women began their INDYCAR-themed day training like the race car drivers at PitFit Training before visiting the Andretti Autosport shop, which included the tire change demonstration. Their adventure was made complete with a behind-the-scenes tour of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and pace car rides on the 2.5-mile oval with former Firestone Indy Lights driver Anders Krohn behind the wheel.

 

“I have never gone that fast before,†Martinet says. “I closed my eyes a few times, but it was a great adventure.â€

AJ Foyt contro lo stradale di Indianapolis

 

"La mia opinione è che odierei una cosa del genere perché la Indianapolis 500 è sempre stata come il Kentucky Derby, una gara leggendaria, e credo che questo toglierebbe qualcosa alla 500 miglia." le parole di Foyt. "Subito dopo, a metà  stagione o una cosa del genere, sarebbe probabilmente qualcosa di buono. Ma non sopporterei vederla interferire con la Indy 500, magari una settimana o due prima. Non credo sarebbe una buona decisione, e questa è la mia opinione personale. Non penso si avrebbe molto pubblico presente."
