Title : A1GP of Nations, Eastern Creek, Australia Sprint Race ResultsNicolas Lapierre took his third A1 Grand Prix victory today, making it five straight wins in a row for A1 Team France. He was followed across the finish line by A1 Team Portugal giving them their first podium of the season, while 3rd place went to A1 Team Brazil. When the cars crossed the start finish line for the rolling start it was pole sitter France who powered into turn 1 first, followed by Portugal and Brazil who had moved up from fourth on the grid. However, it was in turn 2 that the first mishap of the day occurred when the cars of the Czech Republic and South Africa went off into the dirt. South Africa managed to get back on the track but the Czech Republic didn't and so the safety car was deployed to remove the stricken car. After the safety car came in at the end of lap 3, racing started again but then turn 2 claimed its second set of victims. This time it was Germany and Mexico who locked wheels and pirouetted off into retirement. The lucky car this time belonged to Italy as the blue machine managed to avoid this accident and continue. The safety car came out again, the cars were retrieved and it was called in at the end of lap 7. As racing started again, the Netherlands and Switzerland were battling but it was the battle between South Africa and Lebanon on lap 9 that saw South Africa pit at the end of the lap with what looked like rear-suspension damage after they banged wheels and Lebanon come in a lap later. By half way through the race, France had built up a lead of over 3 seconds but Brazil was trying everything to pass Portugal with just a few tenths separating them. As the race drew to a close it was obvious that the safety car periods had taken its toll so the chequered flag was brought out at the end of 19 laps instead of the full 20. Two cars who failed to pass the flag were Austria and Japan who spun off in unison without contact but the USA car that was following them closely did take the flag despite having to go off the circuit and pass between the stricken cars on the dirt. (レース結果) Taking pole position for the Sprint race is A1 Team France with Nicolas Lapierre, commenting he said "We had fresh tyres for the beginning of the race so I was able to push and open up a gap. The second race will be more difficult as there will be pit stops and a standing start so I have to keep pushing. There is quite a lot of pressure to do well in the next race, but even if we don't get a win it is important to get a good finish as there isn't much of a point difference between 1st and 2nd." Taking his first podium of the series, A1 Team Portugal's Alvaro Parente said: "The car was oversteering quite a lot and was hard to drive. We will have to find more grip for the second race. It is hard to keep up with A1 Team France as Nicolas had good speed and new tyres, but we will work on it for the Feature race." A1 Team Brazil's Nelson Piquet Jr said: "The car was better than I thought it would be; as we were suffering from a lot of oversteer during practice. I had a good start, but it is a very difficult track and hard to overtake. I wasn't in 6th gear for very long - only for a short time on the pit straight. I couldn't get past Alvaro but think that if I had, I would have been a lot closer to Nicolas as there was quite a lot of speed left in the car." A1 Team Germany's Adrian Sutil suffered a dislocated thumb in the incident with A1 Team Mexico but once it was put back into place and strapped by the medical staff, he was pronounced fit to start the Feature race. The results of the Sprint race are provisional pending ongoing investigations into the various incidents.Sprint Race

Title : A1GP of Nations, Eastern Creek, Australia Feature Race ResultsA1 Grand Prix proved, for the second time, safety is one of the most important factors in the build of its 3.4 litre V8-engined race cars. At Eastern Creek it was the car entered by A1 Team Japan that suffered a crash that totally destroyed the car but left the driver Hayanari Shimoda unhurt. It was on lap 26 that the car, travelling at high speed, went off the track and crashed into a wall in turn 1. For a few heart-stopping moments while the rescue crews arrived at the scene the driver's condition was unknown but it rapidly became clear the tub of the car had held up amazingly to the force of the accident. Shimoda was momentarily knocked unconscious but by the time he was extracted from the cockpit and taken to the medical centre he was conversing with the medical staff. A preliminary examination by Dr Paul Trafford, the A1 Grand Prix Medical Delegate, found no further injuries but the Japanese driver was transferred by helicopter to Westmead Hospital for a CT scan and further precautionary checks. Dr Trafford complimented CAMS, the circuit medical staff, Meditrak and the marshals for their professional handling of the incident. The race itself was won by A1 Team France, bringing their tally of victories up to 6 out of 8. A1 Team Great Britain matched their previous highest place from EuroSpeedway Lausitz with a second in Australia and A1 Team Switzerland claimed the final podium position. At the start of the Feature race, it was the Portuguese car from second on the grid that was away first leading into the turn 1. A bad start from France meant that at the end of lap 1 they were lying 2nd with Brazil 3rd. The first retirement of the race came from A1 Team South Africa when their car went off the track after swerving to avoid A1 Team Italy on lap 1 and hit the barrier. The teams started their obligatory pit stop sequence quite early with Ireland pitting first at the end of lap 2, having dropped down from 4th on the grid to 12th. The order at the top of the pack stayed the same until A1 Team Portugal incurred a drive through penalty on lap 8 for a false start, a mistake which cost them the lead as France took the opportunity to re-gain the top spot. Turn two struck again on lap 8 when Mexico and Russia clashed and both went off. A1 Team Lebanon narrowly avoided them, going off the track but managing to continue the race. The safety car was deployed and those who had not pitted at the start seized their chance. At the end of lap 9 A1 Team's France and Great Britain both went into the pits putting Lebanon in front. With no overtaking under the safety car, they withheld their position until the safety car peeled off at the end of lap 12 and then the team's moment of glory was over as France and Great Britain overtook but they were still in the top 3 at the end of lap 13. A1 Team Brazil were then the subject of a drive through penalty for a pit lane infringement, dropping them from 8th to 10th, but the safety car was due to be deployed yet again when the Austrian and Czech Republic cars collided on lap 18. When racing resumed again at the end of lap 21, the Irish car was too quick off the mark starting to overtake before crossing the start finish line. For this the team received a 25 second penalty which was applied after the end of the race and dropped them down from 8th to 14th. France was again able to increase its lead at the front of the field and was pulling away from A1 Team Great Britain when the Japanese car had its accident on lap 26. The safety crews worked as hard as they could to remove the damaged car but when the safety car pulled off at the end of lap 33, the 1 hour rule would only allow for two further laps which meant a 35 rather than a 40 lap race. (レース結果) The fastest race lap of the weekend, setting a new lap record for the Eastern Creek Raceway, was recorded in the Sprint race by A1 Team France with a time of 1:19.751 and a top speed of 177.4kph. The fastest lap in the Feature race was also set by A1 Team France with a time of 1:21.015 and a top speed of 174.6kph. A1 Team France's Nicolas Lapierre said: "The start was not too bad, and I was surprised to see Alvaro on the left so soon, but then the team told me that he had a drive through penalty for jumping the start. I made a small mistake in the first corner as the track was so dirty and Nelson overtook me. Thankfully I managed to get past him again under braking. It was a very exciting race. It went right today, it wasn't easy but we had a good strategy." On sharing the driving with team mate Alexandre Premat, Lapierre commented; "It is quite difficult not to be in the car, but we decided at the beginning that we would alternate, so I can't complain, and I'm really happy with the situation." A1 Team Great Britain's Robbie Kerr said: "I had a lock up on the last lap but thankfully, Neel was too far behind to take advantage. It was an interesting race and a good start, I went to the inside of the corner and managed to come away in front and then I was just chasing down Nelson. Nelson gave me room when I overtook, which was fair of him, and then it was a case of being consistent." Rounding up the top 3, A1 Team Switzerland's Neel Jani said: "In the end I'm just really happy to finish. There were so many safety cars that I'm very happy to finish where I did. The first race was not what we wanted, but the second race was good. We had a good strategy, buy unfortunately Jos (A1 Team Netherlands) was on the same strategy and was always behind me. The first corner is very hard and there was a lot of pressure during the race, but we finished third so it is OK."

Title : Doctors give Hayanari Shimoda two thumbs upHayanari Shimoda has been declared fit this morning following his high-speed accident in the A1 Grand Prix of Nations race held yesterday at the Eastern Creek Raceway. He has spent the night in the High Dependency Unit of Westmead hospital under the care of the trauma team who discharged him today after confirming all the tests they ran on him were fine. A1 Team Japan's Team Manager, Malcolm Swetnam said: "We were concerned about his condition after such a heavy impact, however, the news we received this morning that he was recovering well was just what we wanted to hear." A1 Grand Prix's Global Operations Manager, John Wickham, responsible for all the A1 race cars said: "The massive accident that Hayanari Shimoda suffered proved the strength of the A1 chassis. We have always made driver safety one of the prime concerns of the A1 Grand Prix series and everyone involved in the building of our cars felt yesterday's accident proved the strength of these cars. We are all delighted that he is recovering well." The 21-year-old who was having his first drive for A1 Team Japan was born in Tokyo and started his racing career in karts at the age of 13. He raced in Formula Renault series and sports cars in Europe and Japan from 2001 to 2004 and when he raced in Le Mans in 2003, he was the youngest driver in the race.下田隼成は大丈夫だったみたいです。良かった。
