Valsecchi king of the Yas Marina Circuit as iSport sprint into early championship lead....
iSport racer Davide Valsecchi completed a near perfect point scoring weekend after finishing second in the sprint race in Abu Dhabi.

His iSport team mate Oliver Turvey (starting from pole), was slow away from the line in only is his second ever GP2 start and dropped to fourth and was then passed by his experienced team mate. In the late stages Turvey caught and re-passed the slower Alexander Rossi to take the chequered flag in fourth.

Abu Dhabi: DAMS GP2 Asia Weekend Race Recap - Victory!
This weekend saw DAMS contest the first two races of the 2009/2110 GP2 Asia series which took teams to the spectacular and demanding circuit of Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi. DAMS fielded an all-new driver line-up for the occasion, with Germany's Christian Vietoris, 20, defending the team's colours alongside 21-year old Edoardo Piscopo from Italy.
The event was marked by searing heat and there wasn't a trace of rubber on the track to begin with. As a consequence, the amount of grip evolved considerably over the three day-meeting, making life particularly delicate for the engineers and drivers alike as the balance of the cars changed ceaselessly throughout the weekend.

Abu Dhabi : Premier Rendez-Vous, Premiere Victoire !
DAMS a disputé ce week-end les deux premières courses du championnat GP2 Asia 2009-2010, à Abu Dhabi, sur le spectaculaire et exigeant tracé de Yas Marina. Pour l'occasion, l'équipe faisait appel à un nouveau tandem de pilotes, l'Allemand Christian Vietoris (20 ans) et l'Italien Edoardo Piscopo (21 ans).
Les roulages de ce week-end se sont déroulés dans des conditions particulièrement chaudes et sur une piste encore vierge de tout dépôt de gomme. Les conditions d'adhérence ont énormément évolué tout au long des trois jours, rendant le travail des ingénieurs et des pilotes très délicat, l'équilibre des monoplaces changeant en permanence.

Abu Dhabi: Bridgestone GP2 Asia Weekend Recap
Davide Valsecchi (iSport) and Christian Vietoris (DAMS) took the first race wins of the 2009-2010 GP2 Asia Series at the fabulous new Abu Dhabi Grand Prix venue of Yas Marina.
For the first time the Asia Series used Bridgestone’s medium compound slick GP2 tyre produced in Bridgestone’s Technical Centre Europe in Rome, Italy. This tyre saw very hot conditions at the challenging new race venue, but the tyre performed exceptionally well, giving fast and consistent lap times and good grip levels on the new track surface.

Abu Dhabi: Arden GP2 Asia Feature Race Recap
The result – 14th place for Rodolfo Gonzalez and a retirement for Charles Pic – might have painted a gloomy picture for Arden International after the opening round of the GP2 Asia Series in Abu Dhabi, but this was a tale of unfulfilled promise.
From sixth on the grid, Gonzalez ran fifth during the race’s early stages. He then made his mandatory tyre stop before the first of two Safety Car interruptions… and that cost him two places when drivers behind capitalised on the race’s neutralisation. Unfortunately, however, he was then given a pit speeding penalty, served immediately after the restart, and that dropped him down the order. Throughout the 33 laps, however, his lap times were encouragingly competitive.
His team-mate Charles Pic made a brilliant start, but the stewards adjudged it a little too brilliant and gave him a drive-through penalty for setting off too soon. He subsequently ran steadily in the lower midfield, just ahead of his team-mate, until the two cars collided and Charles was forced to retire with five laps to go.
