Far och son Skoog till start i Dubai 24-timmars

I helgen kommer Patrik och Henric Skoog, tillsammans med förarkollegorna Gustav Bergström och Emil Persson, till start i 24-timmarsloppet i Dubai.

 

Kvartetten kommer att köra en Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (992) för det tyska teamet HRT Performance, och ställer upp i den Porsche-specifika klassen 992-AM där totalt 11 likadana bilar återfinns. Loppet i Förenade Arabemiraten utgör en återkomst till tävlingsbanorna för Henric Skoog, som tog ett uppehåll från motorsporten under ett studieintensivt 2021 men som nu alltså är tillbaka bakom ratten.

- Jag ser fram emot det här loppet, och att få göra det tillsammans med pappa och några av våra vänner, säger Henric Skoog. Det var ett tag sedan jag tävlade, och det ska bli kul att få känna den där adrenalinruschen igen. Vi har en stark föraruppställning på pappret och bör kunna vara med och slåss om det, vilket förstås är extra motiverande!

 

För Patrik Skoog markerar Dubai startskottet på en säsong då han återigen har för avsikt att köra GT4 Scandinavia, som drar igång i mitten av maj i Anderstorp. Patrik fortsätter där sitt partnerskap med förarkollegan Gustav Bard, som ursprungligen även skulle ha deltagit i Dubai men som dessvärre testat positivt för COVID-19. Bard ersätts i helgen av Emil Persson – fjolårets rookiesensation i Porsche Carrera Cup Scandinavia med en fjärdeplats totalt – som ansluter med kort varsel. - Vi är förstås ledsna att Gustav drabbats av covid, men det är skönt att konstatera att han mår under omständigheterna bra, säger Patrik Skoog. Vi är tacksamma för att Emil kunde inställa sig så snabbt och hoppa på flyget ner hit med så kort varsel.

 

Dubai är en riktig höjdpunkt som både jag och Henric har kört förut, och i år har vi dessutom riktigt goda chanser att slåss i toppen av vår klass. Teamets fjärde förare, unge Gustav Bergström, gör liksom Persson sin 24-timmarsdebut i helgen. Bergström – son till den legendariske KMS-ingenjören Ronnie Bergström – racingdebuterade i fjol i Porsche Sprint Challenge Scandinavia där han slutade åtta mot betydligt mer rutinerat motstånd.

Träningarna inför Dubai 24-timmars inleddes redan under måndagen, och fortsätter med inofficiella privata tester under tisdagen och onsdagen.

På torsdag genomförs den officiella fria träningen och kvalet, innan racet drar igång med start kl. 12.00 svensk tid på fredag.

Målgång sker alltså 24 timmar senare. Både kval och race går att följa LIVE på https://www.24hseries.com.

Svenskekipaget med far och son Skoog, Persson och Bergström har startnummer 929.

PFI Racing gjorde succé i Dubai

PFI Racing gjorde succé i Dubai när de tog en sjätte plats i klassen och 20:e plats totalt bland 97 startande. Prestationen är extra bra med tanke på att bilen som teamet körde är generationen äldre än de samtliga 18 andra bilarna i klassen. Ett intressant faktum är att PFI Racing endast blev slagna av fullt professionella team i sin klass, med professionella förare och heltidsanställd teampersonal!
Totalt hann man köra 544 varv på banan, något som motsvarar mer än sträckan Eskilstuna - Barcelona.

Utmaningen i ett långlopp är inte bara att köra snabbt och undvika kollisioner utan att också att teamet har en bra strategi för förarbytena och inte minst att ha förberett bilen och utrustningen innan tävlingen eftersom ett 24-timmarsrace kräver mycket av materialet.

Premiere in the dunes: Clio Cup Central Europe heads to Zandvoort

The penultimate weekend of the 2015 season leads the Renault Clio Cup Central Europe drivers to the 4,320 kilometer course at the north see for the very first time. The tradition and the charm of the facility are not the only highlights. The preliminary decision in the title battle, the
newcomers and the experienced local drivers guarantee a thrilling weekend.
Formula 1 started 30 times at the north see coast until 1985. Despite the following reconstructions, the Circuit Park Zandvoort remained being a
racetrack of the old school. Up- and downhill drives, blind bends, small run off areas and the dune sand, which gets blown on the track from time to time, form the course. On top is the special atmosphere of the popular holiday resort with its beautiful beaches.
Most of the drivers face their debut at Zandvoort. But the Dutch Certainty Racing Team joins the field. Normally, that squad starts in Clio Cup Benelux and thus has excellent knowledge at Zandvoort. Head of the team is Dillon Koster, who started in the German Seat Leon Supercopa earlier. Both his drivers, Stan van Oord and Maurits Sandberg, have racing experience from Clio Cup Benelux.
The title battle between Pascal Eberle (Steibel Motorsport) and Dino Calcum (Stucki Motorsport) could be preliminary decided at Zandvoort, depending on how the races develop. At the moment, Eberle is 36 points ahead of Calcum. René Leutenegger (Wüst Motorsport) is third overall and has almost already won the Gentleman championship for the drivers of at least 40 years of age.
But the Swiss is in the eyes of Henric Skoog (PFI Racing). The Swede is not only the leader of the Junior classification for the drivers up to 20 years, butalso fourth overall and only four points behind Leutenegger. Although Skoog mainly concentrates on winning the Swedish Clio Cup, he will also keep fighting in the Clio Cup Central Europe until the end of the season.

Completely new to the field is Sven Köhler. The 44 year old German runs the older Clio R.S. III Cup model in the team of Schlaug Motorsport.
Both races will be broadcasted live from Zandvoort on www.renault-sport.de. Please note the broadcast times below. Live Timing is available via

Henric segrade på Nürburgring!

Henric Skoog vann i helgen som första juniorförare ett heat i Clio Cup Central Europe! Det var på tyska Nürburgring och medan vi här hemma hade sensommarvärme så var det snarare höst-rusk i de tyska Eifelbergen med regn och dimma.


Henric hade fjärde startposition och avancerade direkt och efter ett par varv var han uppe i ledningen och var klart snabbaste bilen i fältet. Sedan blev det gulflagg och safetycar på grund av dimman och den dåliga sikten och efter en stund rödflaggades loppet. Eftersom Henric då var i ledningen så segrade han, dock fick han bara halva poängen eftersom det var så få racevarv.

 

I heat två var det omvänd startordning så Henric startade åtta och det blev trångt på första varvet och han halkade ner ytterligare några platser på den upptorkande banan. Men han kämpade sig upp genom fältet och slutade sexa i mål.

 

För Peter Larsson var det debut på en internationell bana och Peter var också den första föraren som kör med handikappanpassad bil i serien vilket väckte stor uppmärksamhet. Bland annat genomförde arrangörerna en räddningsövning med att träna på att ta ut Peter ur bilen.

I heat 1 kom han på 13:e plats och siktade på topp-tio i heat två vilket han lyckades bra med för han blev åtta i mål. Satsningen gav mersmak och Peter kommer eventuellt köra resterande tävlingar i serien också.

Clio Cup
The plan is to continue in Clio Cup also in 2015, where the new car which is already in use in the European series will be introduced in Scandinavia. A great thanks to Mac Möller the co-funder of Henkes new car in cooperation with Wasa Kredit. Henrics goal is to follow up the second place he had in 2014 to win the series in 2015! We would like to thank you for your support in 2014 and we hope you found it as exciting as us following Henric's progress on the trails. Now we just have make sure that he finishes in the top next year! 

Henric also plan to run a few races of the Clio Cup Benelux during 2015.

We hope that Peter Larsson continues to drive for us again next season. Peter had some bad luck race with a few crashes but showed both in Pärnu and at Mantorp that the distance to the podium place was very close.
Clio-program for 2015 is presented and mainly coinside with STCC.

SSK Race Week **

Swedish GT
New for this year is that Swedich GT series is organized by STCC, and thus coincides several of the races with STCC and Clio Cup races. The race tacks will be Anderstorp, Falkenberg, Gelleråsen and the final at Knutstorp with Autoropa Racing Days.
The plan for PFI is to run in the Swedish GT with two Porsches. In one Patrik and Henric Skoog will drive with the aim to take home the victory in the class. The second Porsche is supposed for guest drivers.

VLN
PFI hasparticipated in the German VLN endurance racing series for many years, which only runs on the Nürburgring GP-track and the Nordschleife. The plan is to continue to participate also 2015, but with a little change, with a larger fuel tank in the Porsche, we can stretch out stint to run three instead of four, thus we run with three drivers instead of two to minimize the number of stops. So we expect to be a bit faster and reach the podium is not impossible!

Preliminary we will participate in the following VLN race:
28/03 - 61. ADAC Westfalenfahrt
25/04 - 40. DMV 4-Stunden-Rennen (Event with PFI guests)
