Those 2 names ring a bell, is one ex bikes and the other a former F3000 pedaller?

Ghedina is actually a former downhill-ski-racer

Bettini is Sandro Bettini (not Paolo,the former cyclist);he is in Superstars since 2008 or 2009 (in 2010 was the teammate of Chiesa at the Swiss Team)
Ghedina is the former ski champion;he is in Superstars since 2007 or 2008 (or 2006? )

on this page u can find the link for the official entry list of superstars for the race in monza!!

30 cars on the track for the first race its not bad! but as lots supposed there wont be Giovanardi and N.technology, and will miss also Cola (but he should enter soon in the championship) and Morbidelli.

[rustyfan]

30 cars is a great number, this should be good. Also, nice to see Johnny Herbert in the list there

[Wheels of Fire]

Ferrara and Herbert again in Superstars!
Great News!

[Speed-King]

Seems like Hockenheim was dropped from the calender, though. That's a shame. I don't think I could have made it this year either way, but it still sucks, as I was hoping that they'd be there for years to come.

[Wheels of Fire]

why romanini has austrian nationality?

[Wheels of Fire]

in the first turn of free practice the fastest is michela cerruti;behind her sini,pigoli,ferrara and chiesa/bertolini;biagi 6th,hernandez 12th,herbert 16th.

[Wheels of Fire]

in the second free practices romeo ferrari's lady michela cerruti is first again,ahead of chisa/bertolini,pigoli,dromedari,sini and ferrara.herbert 12th.

[Wheels of Fire]

Pigoli on pole ahead of Chiesa/Bertolini and the incredible Cerruti.in the top10 there are also Biagi,Sini,Herbert,Gabellini,Cerqui,Dromedari and Armetta.

[iceman-1987]

wonderfull Michela Cerruti!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! third on the grid! she has been fantastic!

[Francesco]

nice to see Sini in a good shape! he raced with us (Ukracing) in the Radical Euro Masters

[FIRE]

Reminder: both races will be live on Motors TV tomorrow.

[Alfa Fan]

There's a big grid, which is great, but looking at the results it doesn't seem to be that competitive.

Half a second between 2nd and 3rd?! 1.5 seconds between 1st and 4th, thats a life time! Top 10 and your looking at 2.5 seconds

[Wheels of Fire]

victory for Pigoli,2nd Michela Cerruti and 3rd Ferrara (15th on the grid).Bertolini retired while was 3rd.Problems for Sini and tyre failure for Herbert in the last corner of the last lap.

[Robbe]

Cerruti wins race two and leads the championship!

[helgi]

Oh. A pilotesse wins in a pink Merc. I don't know. The variety of cars (and their exterior) is wonderful but the grid is still missing some strong drivers.

[Superstars]

The main problem in this championship is reliability

- 30 cars on the entry list

- 26 cars qualified for the races

- 24 cars took the start in race one

- 11 cars took the chequered flag in race 1

- 11 cars took the chequered flag in race 2, but Ferrara and Pigoli suffered puncture and had to pit, so we could say 9 cars

And the carnage came after 25', not after 24h.

The cars look great, they sound good, but there's something more to do

However, cheers to Michela Cerruti for the win! She was great!

[Wheels of Fire]

Michela Cerruti won race2 after a thrilling finish!what a race!

how is the tv broadcast in your countries?
here in italy we had some "problems"

[helgi]

Here in Russia no live-streaming. Maybe some bits will appear in reviews a week later.

[stuart thompson]

Only saw race 2 but didn't experience any problems with Motors coverage. Picture quality could've been better for the GT race though.

[rustyfan]

Really enjoyed race 2, unpredictable to say the least! Also great to see how happy and emotional Michela Cerruti was after the win

As for the coverage I thought it was really good on MotorsTV, fingers crossed the rest of the races will be aired live (or at least tape delayed "as live") as well.

[iceman-1987]

looking the time of last year and the time of this year of michela cerruti, is amazing how many she has become so fast!! in the 2010 she made 1 lap in monza in 2 minutes and 2 seconds, this year in 1 minutes and 57. i think that if she will continue in this way on the track where mercedes is favourite and if she will take good points also in the other track where mercedes is not favourite, she could have big possibility to win the title.


i agree with people who say that is missing top drivers on the grid.

morbidelli seems disappeard (any news of him by anyone).
giovanardi and n.techonolgy havent yet decided what to do (last year they said to use the 2010 as preparation for the 2011, now its 2011 and they already missed the first race).
audi sport italia has been so clever to make race Dionisio (great manager but really bad driver), Bossi (that i suppose is racing just because he bring sponsor and money) and Papini who was the better driver between all the 3 but he is not for sure at the same level of Cola who is the top driver for audi.

very positive Cerqui and Biagi (in race 1 only) for bmw, Sini for the Jaguar (but not yet at the level of competitivity of Mercedes), Chiesa/Bertolini for Maserati.
