August 30 saw the debut of a new racing series Superleague Formula, which presents the leading football clubs in the world. The idea of cross racing and football was announced eight years ago, but then the organizers of the championship, dubbed Premier1, have failed to translate their ideas into reality. And with so many great skepticism reacted to the appearance of Formula Superleague. But recent steps have proven the viability of not only the "football-racing" series, but also demonstrated its great potential.
By the start of the season their participation in the Super League have confirmed 18 football clubs: AC Milan and the Italian AS Roma, Belgian RSC Anderlecht, German Borussia Dortmund, Brazilian Corinthians and Flamengo, the Swiss FC Basel, Turkish Galatasaray SK, the Dutch PSV Eindhoven, Spanish FC Sevilla and Atletico de Madrid, Portuguese FC Porto, Greek Olympiacos, Scottish Rangers FC, the Arabic Al Ain, Chinese Beijing Guoan, as well as the British Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool. The interest to participate in the racing series also showed Spartak Moscow, but the contract for performance in the Super League leadership "red-white" is not yet signed. However, the chance to see a race car in the colors of the Russian club still is - the two places in the list of participants are still vacant.
By the way, the commands themselves for the right to participate in the race did not pay - the series pays for itself due to investments of investors, sales of rights to broadcast contributions and racing "stable", which are taken to maintain "club" cars. Moreover, the organizers claim that a series of costs much less than, say, A1 Grand Prix and especially GP2. A football clubs can post advertisements on the machines of their sponsors, as well as earn a respectable prize - the first year of the Super League prize fund of each stage of a million euros.
Superleague Formula - is monoserii. All pilots perform in identical cars Panoz DP09B, equipped with 12-cylinder engine of 4, 2 liters firm Menard Competition Technologies. Specific power "football formula" superior race cars and A1GP GP2: with a weight of 675 kg car engine develops 750 hp at 12,000 rev / min. "The effectiveness of the brakes and the downforce is very reminiscent of Formula 1 race cars, and the Michelin tires provide excellent grip, - said the pilot Roma Enrico Tokkachelo. - By handling in fast corners the car is very similar to Formula 1, although similar to the slow fireballs A1GP ». But the main task of the designers was to facilitate the implementation of overtaking riders - and as our first race, they achieved this goal.
Bitter struggle contributes to the format of the races. Thus, in the second race pilots will start in reverse order of the fully the positions taken in the first race of the weekend. Thus, the winner of the first race forced to start last in the second. It is also very different from that in other series the format of qualification. First riders by lot divided into two groups. Then the four best pilots from each group go to the next stage, consisting of quarterfinals, semifinals and finals last odnokrugovoy battle for pole between the two fastest riders. Such an unusual distribution system starting positions generated positive responses of both participants and spectators.
Media attention to a series of football in general is great - the first stage traslirovalsya in 62 countries (unfortunately, Russia is in this list does not included). However, a veteran GP Masters series was also focused attention, but it did not save her from konchiny.No and Superleague Formula has a problem. Reliability cars still leaves much to be desired in the first race six of the seven retirements were caused by equipment failure.
