No time for Alan?? Any idea what happened?
-
November 26, 2014 at 11:07 am #37809David ColeKeymaster
We were told that it was because he checked the wheel tightness on the false grid. No tools or working on the karts is allowed before you leave the grid. They would not let him on the track for qualifying. Rogero suffered the same penalty.

Unreal. I hope he puts on a passing clinic.

That wraps up the on-track action from Valencia, as the first two rounds of the heats were completed in dry conditions. The Team USA drivers logged very different results, although they were only able to post a total of six top-10 finishes. We’ll have our daily report posted later today.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Friday, November 28, 2014 – Heat #3 / Second Chance Qualifiers
It’s going to be a very important day for the Team USA drivers in Spain, as the results have not been exactly what we’re all be looking for. The second corner of the circuit has been rough, and we’ve had to deal with more than our share of DNFs. It’s expected that we’ll have a number of drivers in the LCQs, but our girls and guys should be ready to attack to secure the final positions in Saturday morning’s Prefinals. It is dry right now, although the threat of rain remains.

The final round of heats is now complete. Once again, assorted results for Team USA, but they will certainly have a large number of drivers in the LCQs. We’ll provide the heat race point tallies as they are made available to us. The LCQs are schedule to begin at 2:50 pm in Spain, which is 8:50 am Eastern.

Saturday, November 29, 2014 – Championship Saturday
Good morning, race fans and karting enthusiasts –
The excitement has been building all week for today’s main events, and Team USA will put their collective support behind nine Americans who have qualified to run in the Prefinals and Finals. Sting Ray Robb and Christian Brooks will aim for glory in Junior Max, while Oliver Askew, Phillip Arscott and Jake Craig will be part of the Senior Max fight. Michael Ilavia, Gavin Reichelt, and Nick Neri will participate in DD2 and Alan Rudolph, coming off a brilliant run from 25th to sixth in the LCQ, will carry the flag in DD2 Masters.
With the rain having arrived yesterday, and having continued through the evening, today’s morning warm-up became extra important. All of the drivers who qualified directly into the finals will get their first chance to sample the track in the wet, so post-session debriefing will be crucial.
We’ll be following the races closely and will be posting the Team USA results immediately to Facebook and Twitter, and to this official forum thread as well.
If you’re up early, or staying up late, to cheer on Team USA, enjoy the day…it’s going to be exciting, for certain.

Heavy rain at the circuit put things on hold, and even after trying to get the Junior Max Prefinal underway, the standing water was just too much, and the race was red-flagged before the end of the first lap. The event remains on hold.
-
November 29, 2014 at 2:41 am #37966Rob HowdenKeymaster
The torrential rain this morning has wreaked havoc on the race schedule, and Rotax officials have elected to scuttle the Prefinals and go straight to the Finals. This is definitely a disappointing decision for the three Team USA drivers who qualified through the LCQ, and were hoping to use the Prefinal to move up the order ahead of the Finals.

This 2014 Rotax Grand Finals from Valencia is now complete. Team USA came away qualifying nine drivers in the main events, and then scoring three top-10 finishes thanks to Oliver Askew (6th), Alan Rudolph (7th) and Nick Neri (10th). Alan and Nick were remarkable, coming from last on the grid. Really great stuff.
We’ll have our final report on the site soon, but until then, congrats to all of the drivers on Team USA! It was a tough weekend, for sure.

Any idea how the nations standings turned out?
-
December 1, 2014 at 11:01 am #38077David ColeKeymaster
http://live2014.kart-data.com/RGF/ they have the standings after Friday, but do not have an updated result for the Nations Cup after Saturday’s Finals. South Africa won with Australia second and Spain third. Not sure where Team USA finished. Some reason, official results are hard to find unless at the facility.
