[a-la-rascasse]

From mud to asphalt.

They often say that: you either are a rally driver or a road racer. Many broke this unwritten rule, the first that comes to my mind is Jim Clark, whom almost won the 1966 RAC rally in Great Britain; another exception is Finnish rally driver, Henri Toivonen.

In 1982, to try and avoid conscription into the Finnish army, Henri tried to take part in as many racing events as possible. He got a chance to take part in a few rounds in the British Formula 3, including the final race at Thruxton, in which he drove for the Jordan team and, suprisingly, finished 10th. “It was fantastically exciting” said Henri in an interview in 1984. “In F3, everybody wants to win at any cost, they're all crazy!”.

This amazing result earned him tests with nonother than McLaren, and later with March. Henri would recall “[In 1982] I got to drive Raul Boesel's March – what a thrill!”. What a thrill indeed! The Finnish driver had an advantage of 1,5 seconds on the lap time of F1 driver Raul Boesel.

Despite showing how much of a talented driver he was, and how worthy he would be to join F1, he preferred to pursue his rally racing career, stating that “I'm already too old to make a switch to single-seaters”.

Eddie Jordan was really amazed by Henri's raw talent, and would later say “I don't know if he would have become a champion in Formula 1, but he would have won Grand Prixs – of that I'm absolutely sure.”

#another one of my faves 'what if?' #I woooould have loved to see henri driving in F1 #I know he would have been quite competitive #henri toivonen #rally #rally racing #vintage rally #80s

24 HORAS DE LE MANS: 2022

Essa semana temos mais uma edição das 24 Horas de Le Mans, que acontecerá entre os dias 11 e 12 de junho, no tradicional circuito de La Sarthe, na França, a cerca de 200 km de Paris. Talvez as 24h de Le Mans possa ser considerada a mais importante prova de longa duração do planeta, entregando um desafio enorme aos participantes e um prestígio de mesma escala a quem termina a prova no lugar mais alto do pódio.

Como dito no nome do evento, a corrida dura 24 horas e não tem um número de voltas definidas. A distância percorrida varia a cada ano, mas em média são 5.400km, o equivalente a uma viagem de carro de ida e volta entre São Paulo e Recife! 62 carros estão disputando a prova esse ano, e apesar de seu caráter único no automobilismo mundial, a prova também faz parte da temporada do WEC (Mundial de Endurance) desde 2011, também fazendo parte da famosa “Tríplice Coroa” do esporte a motor mundial, juntamente com as 500 Milhas de Indianápoles e o GP de Monaco, da Formula 1, e Graham Hill foi o único piloto a completar o tal feito.

A prova possui 4 categorias, e em cada uma delas, trios de pilotos se alternam em turnos para completar as 24 horas. Esse ano temos os Hipercarros, que dominam a disputa pelo título do WEC, o LMP2 e os Gran Turismo, Pro e Amador. Atualmente os carros chegam em uma velocidade que ultrapassa os 300 km/h, mas a velocidade máxima registrada nas 24 Horas de Le Mans é de 405 km/h, atingida em 1988 pelo WM P88 Peugeot, na Reta Mulsanne. Esse recorde não pode mais ser batido por conta de uma chicane colocada, justamente para diminuir a velocidade absurda nessa parte do circuito.

Infelizmente nunca tivemos um brasileiro vencendo na categoria geral do evento, sendo a melhor colocação dos brasileiros em segundo lugar, alcançada por Raul Boesel, José Carlos Pace e Lucas Di Grassi. Esse ano temos seis brasileiros lutando pelo título. Na categoria Hipercarros temos Pipo Derani no carro nº 708 da equipe Glickenhaus, André Negrão no carro nº 36 da Alpine. Na LMP2 temos Felipe Nasr na Penske com o carro nº 5, e Pietro Fittipaldi com a Inter Europol no carro nº 43, e fechando essa lista temos Daniel Serra com o carro nº 51 da AF Corse e Felipe Fraga na Riley Motorsports pilotando o carro nº 74.

Podemos ainda ver nomes conhecidos na lista de participantes, como os atuais pilotos da Formula E, Sébastien Buemi, Nick Cassidy, Sam Bird, Alexander Sims, António Félix da Costa e Robin Frijns, além dos ex-pilotos de Formula 1 Brendon Hartley, Giancarlo Fisichella e Robert Kubica. Um nome curioso é de Michael Fassbender, o ator que dá vida ao Magneto nos filmes X-Men estará pilotando o carro de nº 93 da equipe Proton Competition.

Visite o nosso calendário semanal AQUI para saber os horários das 24 Horas de Le Mans 2022, que será transmitida pela ESPN.
