24 Hours of Dubai 2011

Podium "997" on the sunshine of the United Arab Emirates !!

This is a very nice race to start the season  ..

As every year, the 24 Hours of Dubai race means the beginning of  our racing season.

84 cars have started the race on Friday 2 pm. 

The 24 Hours of Dubai were for us  : very nice drivers, a very well prepared car, and a good team to succeed in this wonderful adventure in the Arabian United States !

The result   ?

A podium for the 3rd place in the Porsche 997 ranking for our team of 5 drivers : 

Philippe Ulivieri, Pierre Perret, Jean-Charles Battut, Gilbert Duconget and Eric Vaissiere.

Pit-stop after pit-stop without any problem ..

We look forward for 2012...

This is also Dubai, the ski-dome in the Mall of Emirates

The podium and the comments of our drivers  :

Philippe Ulivieri : « It has been a real satisfaction to come back with this result. Our objective was to finish the race. But with a very well prepared car, thanks to Bernard Jubin from RMS,  a wonderful race assistance and a very good organisation of the Boutsen Energy team, and also very concentred drivers, we have been able to review our objective.

I would like to thank the Boutsen Energy team : Olivia, Olivier, Jacques, Dorian, Julien and Nicolas, and also RMS, Bernard and Laurent. And of course, my nice and friendly drivers.  »

Eric Vaissière : « This is my first 24 hours race, and I can not be more happy : a dream race without problem. A very good strategy organised by Bernard and Olivier. And at the end, the podium ! The 2 teams have really worked together, RMS and BOUTSEN ENERGY. I would like to do it again next year.."

It is a real success for this beautiful human adventure ! Thanks also to all the mechanics.."

Gilbert Duconget : "I have spent a wonderful week at Dubai, thanks to you ..

The enthousiasme and profesionalisme of Olivier, the organisation of Olivia : these were the key of the success for this wonderful race. I wish we can race again with the Boutsen Energy racing team".

The 24 Hours of  Dubai  - January 2010

Jean-Charles Battut : J'ai trouvé le circuit très beau, un peu valonné, très rapide, le niveau de la course était élevé, de jour comme de nuit. La concentration était à son extrême à chaque relais. L'équipe tant pilotes que technique était vraiment formidable. Humainement, c'est une équipe avec de grandes qualités, et techniquement, on se sent bien entourés, et en sécurité. Olivier et Marseille m'ont beaucoup aidé à garder le rythem ou à repousser mes limites. L'ambiance était vraiment au top avec French toujours là pour redescendre la pression avant un relais. Malgré que le moteur nous ait abandonné à quelques heures de la fin et du podium, ce fut une expérience hors du commun... Bref un ensemble de ressenti que l'on ne peut que retrouver à Dubai..
A l'an prochain pour le podium ce coup-ci ou avec toute l'équipe pour d'autres courses cette saison."

Le Castellet

Dominik Kraihamer : 2nd :

“Unfortunately, the damage to the car from Norbert’s crash was not able to be repaired in such a short time so therefore we could not participate in the following one-hour endurance race as planned together. With his limited experience in this kind of car, Norbert was already on the way to being very fast and we would have had a genuine chance for victory.”

Clio Cup - The Championship is over..

General classification :
Joakim Lambotte is 5th, Nicolas Metairie is 6th.

Junior classification  :
Nicolas Metairie : 2nd !

 

Nicolas : "I have had a very good season in the team, I have learned a lot and there is a very good atmosphere which is the first thing to succeed.

My last week-end was the most difficult with my output in Q2; when I was in a good lap but also because of the wheather conditions. This is only the second time that I am driving in the rain. I tried to limit the consequences for the championship but it was not easy to follow the rythm of the race. ..

I am sad that the season is already over; it happened much too fast."

No chance for a podium, no second place for the general classification.

During this season, I have had very nice but also very difficult moments. However, even if the final classification is not as good as i was hoping, I would like to thank the team members for their fanstastic job.

Dominik Kraihamer : " I have learned a lot during the week-end. For me, it is very important to get experience. It is my first season in this kind of car, and I have a lot to discover. I like to work with the "Boutsen Energy team", they love what they do and they are very motivated. I am really lucky to drive in the team, and hope we will have a lot of success together.

Lionel Robert : "I really enjoyed this race. It is fantastic to finish on the podium on my first outing and it is a big surprise for me. I tested the car before the meeting and it only proved what I'd thought. It is very quick and very easy to drive. I would like to thank Boutsen Energy Racing for giving me the chance to tackle this new branch of the sport. Luke did a great job especially at the end when he caught our rivals. I hope to race again very soon."

Luke Hines  : " It is very different in relation to the GT1s that I normally race. I had to rethink a lot of aspects of my driving to adapt to a prototype like this. I'm delighted to have had this experience as the car's great and what I reall liked was that I was always batting with someone. It is a fantastic championship."

Clio Cup Belgium - Zolder - 22/08/09

Podium for Nicolas Metairie !!!!

Race 1 :
6th : Joakim Lambotte
10th : Nicolas Metairie
 
Race 2 :
Podium for Nicolas Metairie, qualifyed 12th, and finishes at the third position  !!!
Less luck for Joakim Lambotte, who did not finished the race.
 

Dimitri Enjalbert: “My tyres were still cold when I arrived in the first corner as we had only one formation lap. In addition, we‘ve had brake problems since the start of the weekend as the pedal’s soft. These two factors caused me to go straight on at the start. Once I got to grips with the brake pedal I was able to fight back. I passed Mathieu and then caught Nico. I was in the lead when I handed over to Gary. He quickly understood how the brake pedal worked and it wasn’t too big a problem for him. We finished third, which isn’t too bad. I hope we’ll be as satisfied this afternoon, but it’ll be difficult!”

Gary Chalandon: “I went out just in front of Gavin. I was told that the brakes were a bit tricky. I was very cautious as I didn’t want to visit the scenery despite a couple of nasty moments. I tried to hang on to third place to score a big haul of points, and the first rule in that case is to finish the race. Without our niggling problems we could have done better, but it’s pretty good overall. We’ll try and do as well this afternoon.”

Race 2 :
4th : Dimitri Enjalbert & Gary Chalandon
Abandon for  Dominik Kraihamer & Mathieu Cheruy (gearbox problems).

Qualif 1 :
1st : Dimitri Enjalbert
7th : Mathieu Cheruy

Qualif 2 :
6ème
6th: Dominik Kraihamer
9th : Gary Chalandon

Dimitri Enjalbert: “Qualifying didn’t go off very well for us. Since then we’ve improved the car’s handling, and that enabled me to fight my way up through the field in the opening stages. After I handed over to Gary we were given a drive –through penalty ‐ it’s a pity! Too bad for us! Gary is making more and more progress and that’s making things all the more interesting. I hope we’ll be fighting for the podium again tomorrow.”

 

Gary Chalandon: “The track was getting hotter and hotter towards the end and the car oversteered a lot. It wasn’t easy to keep Gavin behind me till the finish, but I managed.

Without the drive through, I think we could have had an even better result. I’m feeling more and more at home in the car. Dimitri did a superb stint in the race, and we know what we are capable of. I hope that we’ll be able to fight for podium finishes on a more regular basis from now on.”

Pit-stop was too fast for our team but also for other drivers, 5 in total.. Only 3 cars were penalized.. ...
Enjalbert/Chalandon and Scheier/Kraihamer. 

Very nice race for the car number 6, Scheier and Kraihamer.

Thomas Duchene and Damien Chanard were discovering the Formula Le Mans category, and Damien Chanard was already in the good timing.

Dominik Kraihamer: “It’s my first time here and it’s a pretty amazing circuit. There are many corners without much visibility and in the race I think that’ll be a bit dangerous if there’s an accident. Everybody will have to be very careful. It’s all still very new for me as I drove the car for the first time at Le Mans and I’m slowly finding my feet. I haven’t yet worked out the right setup for the car, but we’re making progress with each lap. Tomorrow, the aim will be to finish on the rostrum. I’m still learning and all these efforts are good for my experience as my main aim is to prepare for the 2010 season.”

 

Johan-Boris Scheier: “It’s a real discovery! It’s not easy to find your marks as there are a lot of blind corners. Practice went off well even if we weren’t able to do a lot of setup work. But at Le Castellet, we did a lot of preparation for this event and we haven’t had any unpleasant surprises. Tomorrow, our aim will be a place on the front row.”

LE MANS SERIES - LMP 2

Team spirit together with long distance performance, as embodied by the "Le Mans 24 Hours" is the credo of the "Le Mans Series".

As a most legendary race, the French event's duty is to offer its competitors a full season to race their cars.

5 meetings: Endurance races

11-12/03/2011            Le Castellet – France – tests 

02-03/04/2011            Le Castellet – France

07-08/05/2011            Spa - Belgique

02-03/07/2011            Imola – Italie

10-11/09/2011            Silverstone – Angleterre

24-25/09/2011            Estoril – Portugal

Dominik Kraihamer and Nicolas De Crem in LMP2 !!

A new step for the team !

They were already participating to the Le Mans Series Championship, in the Formula Le Mans ranking. In 2011, Dominik Kraihamer and Nicolas De Crem, cross 1 more step in their career as they participate to the prestigious Le Mans Series Championship, driving an Oreca 03 LMP2  !!!

The 2 drivers knows each other well, and we wish them all the success they deserve  !

We wish them a lot of success !

8 Hours of Le Castellet :

Rolling start of the race : while the light turns green, the safety car remains on track for a second round, behind it is the "strike"! Dominik who is driving realizes a superb start. After 3 hours of racing, our car is pointed in second place, just behind a LMP1 !  But suddenly, when Nicolas De Crem enters the pits after a perfect relay, he is unable to get the car running : the battery gave up the ghost. The time to change it, we lose precious minutes ..

Finally, a 4th place LMP2. But lots of hope for the rest of the season 2011.

1000 kms of Spa

At the moment of our car, driven by Dominik, crossed the finish line of 1000 kms of Spa, the cheers have blended into our stand, as we all enjoyed the performance at its fair value. Even if the Le Mans Series Championship is an Endurance championship, the races are true sprints where every second counts. During the second part of the race, and while we were leading the race,  we had to shorten our relay due to a  fuel pump problem,  prevented us from exploiting the last liters of fuel, and as a consequence, we had to refuel more than expected.

To play it safe and to finish the race, Dominik had to go through the stands 20 minutes before arrival. Despite the speed of our mechanics, this operation has cost us a minute because the pit lane is very long in Francorchamps. And we finish the race in second position, 43 seconds after the winner. The calculation is quickly done ..

The most important in this race, was to sneak at full speed in the traffic caused by the 60 participating cars (a lot of  red flags during the practice and qualifying session ..).

Nicolas De Crem, as Dominik Kraihamer, were well able to take them ahead of the game they were very fast, consistent, they both aligned very good times during  the 6 hours race.

Good luck, boys !

Formula Le Mans
