Silverstone: Final

Sunday, June 21. 2009

It's a disappointing end to Silverstone for Will and the Sanitec Racing Team. 

Will reports from overseas:

"It's something specific to this car. Ultimately the speed in this car depends on me completely changing driving style, and I will double my efforts, come back for testing next week."

After a strong free practice in Silverstone, William places 13th and is optimistic for tomorrow's qualifying in the 7th round of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.

Istanbul: Final

Sunday, June 7. 2009

The weekend ends with frustration for Will, though he managed to move into 11th place and finish up a couple spots from qualifying.

Saturday, June 6. 2009

The car still isn't 100% optimized, and with his placement in the qualifying Will needs to drive hard tomorrow to grab some points.

Istanbul: A Shaky Start

Friday, June 5. 2009

It was a rough practice in Istanbul, and despite Will pushing at the end it just wasn't happening- the tires were done.
We all hope for a better ride in qualifying tomorrow.

Sunday, May 24. 2009

Special congratulations to René Rast of Veltins MRS Racing, William's former team, for his 2nd place win!

On to the highly-demanding course of Istanbul, Turkey...

A Day of Rest

Saturday, May 23. 2009

The Monaco Grand Prix is structured differently from most races.
Practice is Thursday, Qualifying Friday & the drivers get a day off on Saturday.

William reports that he is energized and excited to race tomorrow!

Moving on to Monte Carlo

Reports from Will are that the weather is beautiful, the car is repaired and he is ready for a full-throttle weekend in Monte Carlo!

Good luck Will!

Barcelona: Final

Sunday, May 10. 2009

Major contact in turn two and the car is too damaged to continue. No points for Will in Barcelona, and a lot of repair to be done before Monte Carlo...

Barcelona: Qualifying

Saturday, May 9. 2009

Gearbox rebuilt, the car felt better today but despite pushing hard the pace wasn't there.
Will finishes 13th in the qualifying and focuses on picking up some points in tomorrow's race.

Barcelona: Free Practice

Friday, May 8. 2009

It's a tough and uncomfortable practice for William. New brake pads to break in,  the car isn't acclimating well, and it was twice over the kitty litter and a broken gear box by the end of the warmup.

Not to worry, our #7 driver is staying positive for qualifying tomorrow!

Gran Premio de Espana: Barcelona

Thursday, May 7. 2009

Moving from the desert to the seaside, the drivers gear up for a challenging weekend at Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain. A strong qualifying finish is important because this course, built in 1989, doesn't leave a lot of room for overtaking during the final race.
