Re-Load: Risi seeks to build on Utah win in ALMS GT battle at Lime Rock

Houston, Texas - Tuesday, July 20 - Hot on the heels of its dominant GT victory in the Utah Grand Prix, Risi Competizione now heads to Lime Rock Park in Lakeville, Connecticut, for the second round of the five-race ALMS summer odyssey. Its central aims will be to not only secure a back-to-back ‘sprint’ victory, but also to consolidate its position in the championship points’ battles. Melo and Bruni currently lead the Drivers’ Championship by two points over Bergmeister/Long, and Risi/Ferrari are one point away from leading the Teams/Manufacturers’ chase. With a view to breaking the stranglehold that the Flying Lizard Porsches have had on class victories over the last three years, the Houston-based Ferrari team has drafted in a second F430 GTC to be driven by Finland’s Mika Salo and Germany’s Pierre Kaffer, racing alongside Miller Motorsport Park winners, Jaime Melo and Gianmaria Bruni.

And this weekend, Justin Wilson has been "the man", posting either the first or second fastest time in all three practices conducted on Friday and Saturday. And in the latest session today, Wilson was almost three-tenths faster than EJ Viso and looks to be the favorite to grab the pole during the Firestone Fast Six session. "It's a track I really enjoy", Wilson said. The Z-Line Designs...

Lorenzo edges Stoner for MotoGP pole, Rossi 4th in Germany
Article Posted: 07-17-2010

Jorge Lorenzo squeaked out another pole position in MotoGP qualifying today, just besting Casey Stoner at qualifying for the MotoGP German Grand Prix. Lorenzo's time of 1:21.82 was only .02 seconds faster than Stoner, and just .13 seconds quicker than fellow countryman, Dani Pedrosa. Strangely, Lorenzo's leaky motorcycle was nearly the demise of Ben Spies and Randy de Puniet who both crashed out after hitting an oil slick left on track by his Yamaha. Both are OK to race tomorrow, but Spies will start deep in the field, with de Puniet starting seventh. Valentino Rossi made a spectacular return after...
