Michael Hollweger champion BMW 325 Challenge group A
/in NewsAfter the Titelchampionship in 2006, and the runner-up in 2007 and 2008, is Michael Hollweger after a very exciting season Champion 2009 again.
Die Spannung war am letzten Rennwochende in Brünn/CZE nicht zu überbieten.
Nach einem sicheren 4. Platz im Qualyfing wurde ich sofort in der ersten
Kurve von Markus Mair torpetiert, und ans Ende des Feldes gereicht.
Extreme Vibrationen und ein nicht ganz funktionsfähiges Getriebe machten
das weiterfahren nicht leicht, dennoch nahm ich die Verfolgung der Spitzenreiter
auf. Schlußendlich konnte ich mich trotz der widrigen Umstände wieder auf Platz
6 nach vorne kämpfen und so die Meisterschaft mit 11 Punkten Vorsprung auf
Georg Steffny gewinnen.
Ein Wunder, daß ich das Rennen überhaupt beenden konnten, da es bei dem Startunfall
in der ersten Kurve beide Motoraufhängungen abriß und der Motor praktisch das ganze
Rennen auf der Vorderachse lag und nur mehr durch die Getriebeaufhängung gehalten wurde.
Es war vor der Saison schon klar, dass auf Grund der hohen Dichte im Starterfeld ca.
10 Fahrer um den Titel fahren werden, und nicht jener mit den meisten Siegen sondern
jener mit der konstantesten Performance über die Saison gewinnen wird.
Ich hatte 2009 immer das Titelziel vor Augen und ab Saisonmitte
immer alle Trümpfe in der Hand. Anfang Juli konnte ich in Oschersleben durch meinen ersten
Saisonsieg die Führung in der Gesamtwertung übernehmen.
Danach führ ich taktisch clever ohne Ausfall immer in die Punkte und konnte mir
so den Titel 2009 sichern.
Ich möchte mich bei allen Sponsoren, Freunden, Bekannten, Unterstützern, Medienpartnern,
und Daumendrückern für Ihre Unterstützung bedanken.
Ganz besonders bedanken möchte ich mich bei meinem Mechaniker Albert Schmiedinger, der mir
an jedem Rennwochende ein super Auto, ohne einem einzigen technischen Defekt über die gesamte
Saison in vielen Tag und Nacht Stunden bereitgestellt hat.
Im ersten Rennen wird die Startreihenfolge nach der Qualyfinigzeit festgelegt, im zweiten Rennen
straten die ersten acht im umgedrehter Startreihenfolge.

Radical SR8LM smashes the Nordschleife Lap Record on the new Intrax 4-way Black Titan shocks
/in NewsRadical Sportscars has smashed the Nürburgring production car lap record, with driver Michael Vergers posting a committed 6m48s lap time. The road-legal SR8LM smashed the previous record, also held by Radical since 2005, by an incredible eight seconds. All this, less than 24 hours after the car was driven from England to Germany for the record.
German motoring magazine Sport Auto oversaw the attempt, with the UK’s EVO magazine confirming the time, which will be officially finalized tomorrow (Thursday Aug. 20th).
Intrax 4-way adjustable Black Titan shocks on the SR8LM
Conditions for the record were perfect, with clear skies and temperatures in the high 20s. Vergers initially battled with the Nordschleife’s fearsome kerbs, jumps and bumps, but soon found the ideal setup, inspiring confidence to push harder. “The car was great, I could push really hard and it felt clearly faster than the previous SR8 in 2005,” said Vergers. “It’s fantastic that we’ve beaten the record; hopefully I’ll get an opportunity to return with Radical in the future.”
Radical co-founder Mick Hyde said: “I’m obviously delighted, the record has been a real team effort headed up by Phil Abbott and Mike Rowe. Dunlop have supplied us with brilliant, hard-wearing trackday tires, indeed we’ve only used one set to both drive to the ‘Ring, and set the record. “We’ve proved that the SR8LM is not only the world’s best trackday car, but it’s also practical enough to drive to and from the circuit. It is a genuine production sportscar, with genuine performance credentials, as we’ve shown today.”
Intrax founder Henk Thuis was present to support the Radical attempt and help finding the optimum settings on the 4-way Black Titan shocks. “This car is equipped with all the latest inventions of Intrax, including the new “v3” piston design, which optimizes stability, comfort and traction of the Radical. This is –again- a real step forwards and we are pleased it translates so well in improved safety and lap times.”
Winning Examples
Intrax owns the official lap record for street legal cars at the well known “Nordschleife” of the Nürburgring. In 2009 a “Radical SR8LM” equipped with Intrax 4-WAY dampers lapped in 6m48s to improve the previous lap record, also held by Radical. As per today, the Radical is per lap more than 23 seconds faster than any other streetcar. See the link below and several youtube movies.
