亞洲保時捷卡雷拉盃

 

第三及第四回合

 

上海國際賽車場

 

2008年4月19日至20日

  

門澤爾征服上海賽道勇奪杆位

 

追星車隊猛將門澤爾(Christian Menzel)以卓越的技術征服上海賽道,他將於明天舉行的亞洲保時捷卡雷拉盃第三回合杆位發車。這位首次到來上海參賽的德國車手在排位賽的第一圈便跑出全場最快單圈,時間為2分05.419秒。儘管百得利車隊的李英健在排位賽最後階段愈跑愈快,卻未能超越門澤爾。李英健跑出2分05.776秒,僅慢門澤爾0.357秒。代表GruppeM Racing車隊的英國好手瑟肯(Tim Sudgen)獲第三名。

 

明天比賽的首兩行發車位置由中國車隊壟斷,捷成車隊的歐陽若曦在這場於濕滑賽道舉行的排位賽獲得第四名。

 

由於馬義益(Matthew Marsh)的Porsche 911 GT3 Cup跑車要換上新發動機,這位SC Global Racing車隊的車手在二次練習並沒有上場,但是他在排位賽有極出色的表現。負責維護參賽車的EKS Motorsport全力修理馬義益的戰車,讓他來得及參加排位賽。最後馬義益獲得第五名,圈速與歐陽若曦只相差半秒。

 

B組車手方面,代表ThunderAsia Racing車隊的朱國明獲得第一名,他擊敗首兩回合冠軍得主赫曼(Tunku Hammam)。首年參加亞洲保時捷卡雷拉盃的澳洲車手特里斯特(Paul Tresidder)獲得第三名。

 

這節排位賽在非常濕滑的場地舉行,門澤爾一上場便馬上跑車飛快的一圈。他只有兩次練習時間去認識這條他完全陌生的賽道,他的舉動非常大膽。門澤爾表示下雨天抵銷了他對賽道認識不足的不利形勢,他說道:「對於賽車手來講,在雨天認識賽道較為容易,彌補了我對賽道欠缺認識的不利。如果場地乾爽,難度會很大。在排位賽的初段,賽道的狀況較好。當維修站的綠燈亮起,我便馬上得全速前進。在下雨天,這無疑有很大風險,幸好我沒有遇上麻煩。賽道的狀況每一圈都在變,讓人難以毫無保留地前進。你必須因應情況的轉變作出很快反應。」

 

門澤爾成功在比賽初段突圍而出,李英健一直努力拼搏,他在最後一圈跑出個人最快時間。這位香港車手說:「我在比賽初段沒有抓緊機會去跑個快圈。我回到維修站發現自己落後對手兩秒,我換上新輪胎上場,成績也大有改善。現在,我對於在下雨天開保時捷跑車有更多經驗。」

 

在今天的第一次練習時段跑出最快時間的瑟肯在排位賽遇到麻煩,這問題在第二次練習的時候並沒有出現,他說:「我的車不夠快。我在最快的一圈犯了錯,損失了約半秒。我的速度足以拿到第二位,卻不足以拿到杆位。」為了要了解賽道的狀況有多壞,瑟肯先以無坑紋輪胎跑一圈。可是,他感到戰車的有點不對勁,他換了輪胎,在剩下的比賽時間希望將問題解決。瑟肯說道:「第三位還可以吧,還不算很糟。」

 

Speed Sri Lanka車隊的馬拉格慕瓦(Dilantha Malagamuwa)也有突出表現,他排在第六位,可是他在比賽中有可怕的經歷。他叫嚷道:「我在最後一圈傾盡了全力,戰車在賽道上就像滑水板一樣,我進站時看見自己排十二位,便不顧一切去爭取佳績。」

 

朱國明對於獲得杆位感到十分興奮,他表示:「賽道在比賽的首兩圈比較乾爽,是爭取佳績的最好時機,可是我的戰車卻剛換上了制動盤,我不能過於進取。如果明天下雨的話,比賽定會十分精彩,特別是狹窄的二號彎。」

 

馬來西亞車手赫曼對戰果感到滿意,他說:「賽道實在太滑了,我多次發生打滑,幸好仍能造出不錯的時間。我是可以做得更好的。」

 

特里斯特是幾位初次在上海賽道上陣的車手之一,他對賽道十分欣賞,他說道:「這賽道實在讓人驚嘆,非常刺激。我仍在努力適當它,在這裡比賽必須加倍專注。我在比賽的末段愈跑愈順,戰車的發揮也很理想。當然,拿到杆位的話就更理想。」

 

各賽十一圈的第三及第四回合將於明天在設備先進的上海賽道上演,是全國場地錦標賽第一分站的比賽項之一。
