Review 2012 Porsche Carrera Cup Rast Races To The Next Track
 |
| René Rast won the Double |
In the last five years, René Rast has scored five Porsche titles, this year he won alongside the Porsche Carrera Cup, even the Supercup. Six wins from 17 races was the balance in the last season - and won the championship was only shortly before the finish decided the finale at Hockenheim. Even Sean Edwards drove a great season, brought five wins and in the end only nine points behind catch landed in second place.
The start of the year could hardly have gone better for rest. From third on the grid, he took the season opener at Hockenheim a victory the next day and drove right back to third place. Even if it is in qualifying, such as at the Nürburgring with starting number ten, not as required, ran snap collected at the end points. Only in the last race of the season, as the title was in the bag, rest it afforded a clear round.
"Win for both titles in one year, of course, is an absolute highlight of my career, I am sure it was Carrera Cup champion in the 2008 season and last three-time champion of the Supercup -. But grabbed the extremely difficult double to have is a damn good feeling. More can not be achieved in the Porsche brand trophy "catch cheered after the successful year.
Nicki Thiim to rotate
About a lack of competition, but he could not complain. Besides Sean Edwards mingled the Frenchman Kevin Estre the front line, at the Red Bull Ring, he even took over the overall lead, which he shortly afterwards after a failure at the Norisring, but had to give back the same.
A strong second half of the season showed Nicki Thiim. The young Dane turned on by a powerful double-zero in Nuremberg and drove in six of the last eight races on the podium. That was enough to get it in the end still create up to third in the championship.

2013 AUSTRALIAN G P REVIEW RAIKKONEN CRUISES TO EASY VICTORY
In the early morning qualifying shoot-out, Red-Bull threw down the gauntlet over their rivals by taking a stunning and utterly dominant front row lockout which sent shivers down the spine of each and everyone concerned and majority in the paddock expected the Bulls to dominate as in their crushingly dominating 2011 season.
Vettel was able to hold on to his lead after the first round of stops but was beaten by Alonso who took the gamble of pitting early for a second stop and it paid off beautifully as he came out in front of Vettel and Massa.
Alonso, like a true warrior, did everything he could by driving his red charger on the limit and sometimes over the limit but it just wasn’t enough and in the end, Raikkonen surged to take his first win of 2013 at the first race of 2013, Meanwhile, Ferrari finished a strong P2 and P4 and are certainly satisfied as they successfully knocked off their main rivals Red Bull with Alonso finishing +10 seconds ahead of Vettel with Massa close behind.
Force India had a great race as Sutil lead twice in between 58 laps of racing action but eventually had to settle for P7 due to his late switch to the option tyre and the subsequent disadvantage of excessive degradation that ruined his chances of finishing higher than the finishing position on what was a stunning debut for Force India.
Fellow rookie Jules Bianchi drove a great race for Marussia to beat his Caterham rivals; Charles Pic finished a lap further down than his fellow Frenchman. Behind them, Marussia’s Max Chilton and Caterham’s Giedo van der Garde had a mighty scrap over 17th place, the English rookie finally beating his Dutch counterpart comfortably.
But as the chequered flag came out after 58 laps of fantastic, wheel-to-wheel racing, it was Kimi Raikkonen and Lotus who came to the fore to take a near perfect victory.
For Lotus, that early advantage bodes ominously well for the remaining 18 races of hardcore F1 action.
