This coming weekend (24th-25th September) motor racing driver Adriano
Medeiros will take to the track for the prestigious Barcelona 24 Hour race.

Adriano is an extremely dedicated professional, and his skills behind the
wheel are evident in his results. Complete with a career that spans over
17 years, Adriano teams his racing exploits with the role of Senior Racing
Driver Instructor for Palmersport Motorsport in Bedford, UK.
The Barcelona 24 Hour race is set to be an exciting challenge for Adriano,
however it is a challenge he relishes. From his routes as a mechanic back
in 1994 in the Marazzi Racing Driver Programme to the professional racing
driver status he currently holds, Adriano has amassed unrivalled knowledge
that has elevated him up the proverbial motor racing ladder.
During 2006 the Brazilian racing ace enjoyed a successful stint in the Formula Ford 1600
Championship in the UK. Despite missing half of the season in the popular single-seater series,
Adriano romped to second place in the championship standings in no time at all.
In the last few years, his career has steered him towards the GT and sportscar side of the sport. In
2007, Adriano scored a strong class position in the Britcar Championship, before progressing to the
Radical UK Cup.
Not only did 2008 see Adriano amass a collection of unrivalled results in the Radical UK Cup,
including a drive from last to second place at the renowned Brands Hatch circuit, but he was given
the responsibility of giving tuition to the teams second driver.
During 2011, Adriano has dedicated much of his time to contesting the GT Cup Championship, which
has prepared him well for this weekend’s Barcelona 24 Hour adventure.

Brands Hatch GP for the GT Throphy.

The weekend was very eventfull, but it was great to be back at the wheel and driver around  such a great circuit. The GP is really good and quick track, the porsche a great car to drive. Its very chalenging to drive a porsche anywhere, its a car that require a lot from the driver.

This race weekend has to be the race weekend for the mechanics.  At the start Chris Bentley (my team mate) had a accident with a lamborghini wich bring us to the pits for long period and put us down to more than 30 laps behind. Then come the team, What a great job! there was quite a lot of damage and they did all very well.

Chris went back to the track and we swap places with 2h and a half to finish, during my stint I had a camera on board on the floor going from place to place, sometimes underneath the accelerator sometimes under the cluch. It was really hard to drive and keep quicking the camera all the time.

It was dificult to deal with some backmarkers, I did loose feel laps behind a Ferrari 430 driven by a gentleman driver. This kind of situation is not easy as the 430 is powerfull and the driver almost stop on the apex of the corners. I asked the team to talk to his team, but seems like he doesnt care. So I manage to pass.

After a hour my rear tyre blow up, on times like this that I understand How good GOD is. The tyre blow up on the straight so was easy to manage and bring the car to the pits. Then Chris went back to the car and finish the race, 13th overall and 3rd in class. The problem is we did 78% of the laps that the leader had done So we didnt qualify for the results.

Overall as I sad before It was great to be back in the car and drive, I do need to learn a lot in terms of my faith and motorsport and mainly How to show Christ at the track. But with the mercy of GOD and the help of my brothers and syster, Ill get there.

Thanks GOD for the weekend.

Adriano Medeiros

In 2010 Adriano Medeiros was coaching the driver Chris Bentley at the Gt Cup, the championship is a GT amateur series for the Gentleman drivers, and the series organisers create a endurance race called GT Throphy wich became a syster championship.

Then Chris decide to participate on May at Brands Hatch GP, as it is an endurance race, there was a need for the second driver, So Chris gave the oportunity to Adriano Medeiros. The results couldnt be better, win in Class and the driver Adriano Medeiros had ocuppied the 3rd place overal some point during the race.

The success made Chris choose for Adriano to race again in two other ocasions on the same championship.

The GT Throphy is a really good idea and has been doing well considering the whole situation of the motorsport industry after all the crisis and economic, bringing small numbers to the race track. After all of that, Chris and Adriano had been doing really well and had another win last year.

Again the race comes to Brands Hatch GP and the pair will race again driving the Porsche 996 .

“For me this is great, it had been a dificult year and not much race. Its great to be able to go back to the track where I had my first win. The place is great and wining is even better, It was really good driving and nobody can take that away from us. My life with JESUS has been really interesting with ups and downs, Im leraning a lot but one thing I carry with me. GOD is so mercyfull to give me those chances, motorsport is really hard sport and there are no chances for people wihtout money, but somehow Im still doing feew races and really enjoy then. Thanks to GOD for this oportunity.”

Lets pray that Adriano Medeiros have more doors open and keep racing.

GOD bless you.

SILVERSTONE RACE REPORT

Posted: 06/04/2010

A small but committed entry rolled out at Silverstone for the first two rounds of the 2010 SPEED Series and put on two thrilling races which saw podium positions changing on the very last corner, winners from the back-of-the-grid, spills, thrills and several new faces in the SPEED paddock.

Qualifying

Qualifying was run under damp conditions at a cold Silverstone and tested both new and experienced drivers to the limits. There were seven new SPEED driver pairings on track but it was the experienced front-runners from the 2009 season, Simon Dolan and Sam Hancock (JOTA Ligier JS49), who took the pole position with a blistering lap over 2 seconds faster than the second-placed Ligier of newcomers Jody Firth and Warren Hughes (Team WFR). The Norma of Simon Phillips and Silverstone-expert Chris Ward was third, another 2 seconds back but with conditions in the afternoon’s race set to be wet, qualifying form was no guarantee of success.

The grid featured new faces and new machines. Rookie Mohsin Rashid and Brazilian ace Adriano Medeiros put in a great performance to claim fourth spot on the grid in the newly former Accurate Racing’s maiden outing. 2010 Series top driver, Rob Garofall and new driving partner, Barry Gates (RLR Msport) sat in fifth with the Woodcock Brothers, Garry and Michael in 6^th ahead of Belgian racer Christophe Burrick and veteran charger, John Grant (RLR Msport). Ian Simmonds & Phil Hall in the  second Accurate Racing car suffered a number of setbacks over the weekend; they qualified 8^th.

SPEED has introduced a new bike-engined ‘Class C’ category for 2010 and the invitation was taken up by Gary Ramsdale and Shaun Mellors in their AEL Electrical Sourcing Radical SR3. The team is a welcome addition to the paddock and settled into the scene admirably. Having not driven the challenging Silverstone GP circuit before, they adapted to the conditions and on-track company well to qualify 9^th just over a second behind the Ligier of Simmonds/Hall and are set to be joined by greater numbers in Class C from the next round at Brands Hatch onwards. Gary Kane and Tom Ashton were also showing strong in their Radical PR6; despite some teething problems they would put on a very strong display despite starting from the back row.

Race 1

Expectations were high for a competitive contest with a number of highly experienced drivers on the grid. On a wet but drying track the grid took to the track with Dolan, fresh from a recent win with Hancock in France, confident of a strong race. He was passed early by the super quick Hughes but was putting in a strong drive until a rare error after just 5 laps saw him drift wide and run off the track, dislodging an oil pipe that triggered an engine safety mechanism which shut the engine down and out the 47 car out of the race. This was a huge disappointment for drivers and team and robbed the race of a great fight between Le Mans racers Hughes and Hancock. Fortunately the damage was not serious and the car was out in Race 2 where they had better fortunes.

That left Hughes unchallenged for the large part of the race and he opened up a sizeable advantage before handing over to the affable Jody Firth, who maintained strong lap times to bring the car home over a lap ahead of the second placed finisher.

Behind Firth, the real excitement was the duel between the Woodcock Brothers and the sole Norma of Phillips/Ward. The Ligier drivers had progressed up to second place early in the race, a position they held throughout the pit stops but, when Phillips handed the car over to Ward, Silverstone’s chief instructor made up ground hand over fist. With just a few laps to go he was hauling the Ligier in until, unbelievably, after 90 minutes of racing and with just one corner to go, he made it past to finish one tenth of a second ahead in second place.

Tom Ashton put on a real impressive drive in the PR6; having taken over from Gary Kane in a respectable 5^th place after 21 laps, he posted superb lap times to secure a fourth placed finish with a best lap that was just under a second slower than the Hughes/Firth car. The PR^ had been duelling with the Ligier of Gates/Garofall for a long section of the race but Gates was forced to retire when the electrics died on the car through a faulty alternator.

Rashid and Medeiros suffered a late puncture that damaged some suspension parts but the pairing made a strong showing in just their first SPEED race – the first race that Rashid has ever taken part in – finishing 5^th ahead of the Burrick/Grant car and ahead of the AEL Radical and the Simmonds/Hall machine which had been sidelined for a period early on with a loss of brake fluid. The team got the car out again but the damage had been done and they finished 8^th on the road.

The win by the Team WFR drivers was an impressive achievement in their first SPEED outing. They were driving the IF Motorsport prepared Ligier JS49 but are entered from the Brands Hatch event in the brand new WFR chassis designed specifically for the SPEED CN challenge. The commitment from the experienced outfit to the series is a real positive step for SPEED and with 3 chassis set to be on track before the halfway point of the season, WFR seems determined to shake-up the CN sports car racing fraternity.

Race 2

The grid for race 2 was set by the results from race 1 which put the hard-chargers Simon Dolan and Rob Garofall on the back row with Firth/Hughes on pole beside the Norma. The early start on the Saturday morning saw the race shortened by 15 minutes to a 75 minute event and meant drivers had to get on with their job in quick fashion.

Garofall made an immediate impression, up to fourth by the end of the first lap and second behind runaway leader Hughes by lap 7. Dolan was also on a charge, passing 4 cars on lap 1 and running a solid third by lap 21 just before the handover to Hancock.

Hughes looked unassailable out front until lap 26 when the car flew into the pits with the rear wing hanging off following a failure of the brace holding it on. With the drivers switching at that point, the car sat in the pit for several laps whilst the team repaired the car, returning to the track in fifth. This saw Garofall go into the lead having put in a stint markedly longer than any other driver out there. Garofall had reported to the team that the brake pedal was going long during his drive and Barry Gates bravely took on the challenge but, just a lap into his stint the brakes finally failed and he ran out of road and out of the race with a damaged car embedded in the gravel. It was a disappointing weekend for the RLR #1 car but Gates and Garofall suffered similar set-backs in their respective teams last season and both drivers bounced back with race wins. They are expected to be on the top spot of the podium in 2010.

Their demise and the technical woes of the WFR team elevated Hancock and the Woodcock Bros car into first and second respectively. The JOTA prepared car had yet to win in SPEED despite leading a number of races in 2009 and the team was nervously counting down the laps. The Woodcock Bros team was also hoping that they could hold onto their second place this time but with the WFR car fast catching them up, their fears were realised with just 4 laps remaining as Jody Firth went past into second.

Hancock hung onto the finish and a delighted Team JOTA celebrated a good win and a dramatic reversal of fortune from the previous day. Gary Kane brought the PR6 home 4^th ahead of the Norma with the Grant/Burrick car 6^th despite a drive-through penalty for changing driver early. Rashid/Medeiros were 7^th, ahead of the sister car of Simmonds/Hall by two laps. The Gates/Garofall car was 8^th with the AEL Electronics Sourcing Radical of Mellors and Ramsdale 10^th following a spirited drive.

The SPEED Series moves on to Brands Hatch at the end of May now where the CN cars will contest a 3 hour endure with Class C slugging it out over the first 90 minutes.
