Tag: Big Open Single Seater

Startklar fürs Jubiläum: die BOSS GP 2019

Posted on April 25, 2019 by - General, General

Die 25. Saison der BOSS GP beginnt an diesem Wochenende am Hockenheimring in Deutschland. Mit so viel Fahrzeit wie noch nie und jede Menge PS.

25 Jahre gibt es Europas schnellste Rennserie schon, zehn Jahre davon unter dem Namen BOSS GP. Grund genug, für die Big Open Single Seater 2019 richtig durchzustarten. Schon traditionell beginnt am kommenden Wochenende (26. bis 28. April) die Saison auf der Formel-1-Strecke von Hockenheim nahe Stuttgart.

Zwei Rennen der spektakulären BOSS GP stehen am Programm, in einem Rahmen, der kaum schöner sein könnte: Die Bosch Hockenheim Historic, zu Ehren des in Hockenheim am 7. April 1968 verunglückten schottischen Rennfahrers Jim Clark, lockt jährlich im Frühjahr rund 500 Starter und mehr als 20.000 Fans ins Motodrom. Überall erwarten die Zuschauer offene Türen, denn die Eintrittskarte beinhaltet freien Zugang ins Fahrerlager, zu den Ausstellungen, aufs Boxendach und in die Boxen selbst.

Teilnehmer: BOSS GP
20 Fahrer haben sich fürs Rennwochenende in Hockenheim eingeschrieben. Mit Rekord-Champion Ingo Gerstl (AUT, Toro Rosso STR1), Gerd Thöny (LIE, Jordan EJ13), Phil Stratford (USA, Benetton B197) und Ulf Ehninger (DEU, Benetton B197) sind vier Formel-1-Autos angekündigt.

Dazu kommen 15 Boliden aus der Formel 2, u.a. die Lokalmatadoren Andreas Fiedler (Vize-Meister Klasse FORMULA 2018) und Walter Steding.

Die endgültige Starterliste wird zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt veröffentlicht.

Die Teams und Fahrer der BOSS GP sind mit Ausnahme von Andreas Fiedler (Fahrerlager) in den vorderen Boxen mit den Nummer 3 bis 21 untergebracht.

So nahe kommt man den Rennwagen nur bei der BOSS GP

Zeitplan: BOSS GP beim Bosch Hockenheim Historic
Der 4,5-Kilometer-lange Grand-Prix-Kurs und das Rahmenprogramm wetteifern gewissermaßen um die Zuschauergunst. An jedem der drei Veranstaltungstage geht es ab 9 Uhr los. Neben der BOSS GP sind die FIA Lurani Trophy, die Boliden der CanAm und die Young-Timer-Tourenwagen die Highlights.

Die BOSS GP fährt am Freitag zwei halbstündige Trainings. Am Samstag folgt am Vormittag das Qualifying für die Startaufstellung beider Rennen. Das erste Rennen (20 Minuten) geht am Samstag über die Bühne, das zweite (25 Minuten) am Sonntag zur „Prime Time“ um 14:10 Uhr.

Ready for the anniversary: the BOSS GP 2019

Posted on April 25, 2019 by - General

The 25th season of BOSS GP starts this weekend at the Hockenheimring in Germany. With more track time and more power than ever.

Europe’s fastest racing series has been around for 25 years, ten of them under the label BOSS GP. Reason enough to get the party rolling for the Big Open single Seater 2019. The season traditionally begins on the Formula 1 circuit of Hockenheim near Stuttgart this weekend (26 to 28 April).

Two races of the spectacular BOSS GP are on the schedule, in a setting that could hardly be more wonderful: The Bosch Hockenheim Historic, in honour of Scottish racing driver Jim Clark, who died in an accident in Hockenheim on 7 April 1968, attracts around 500 starters and more than 20,000 fans to the Motodrom every spring. The ticket includes free access to the paddock, the exhibitions, the pit roof and the pits themselves.

Competitors: BOSS GP
20 drivers are registered for the race weekend in Hockenheim. With record champion Ingo Gerstl (AUT, Toro Rosso STR1), Gerd Thöny (LIE, Jordan EJ13), Phil Stratford (USA, Benetton B197) and Ulf Ehninger (DEU, Benetton B197) four Formula 1 cars have been announced.

There will also be 15 Formula 2 cars on the grid, including local heroes Andreas Fiedler (runner-up in the FORMULA class 2018) and Walter Steding.

The definitive starter list will be published later.

Apart from Andreas Fiedler (paddock), the teams and drivers of the BOSS GP will be based in the front pits (numbers 3 to 21).

You can’t get any closer to the beasts: open doors in BOSS GP

BOSS GP race calendar 2019

Posted on November 30, 2018 by - General

Start race 2 Spielberg 2018

Six race weekends are on the schedule of Europe’s fastest racing series in the coming season. At Assen, BOSS GP will support the DTM, at the finale the series will return to Imola.

Update, 12/12/2018: bossgp.com/update-new-date-for-monza-2019/

The 25th season of the BOSS GP starts with the Jim Clark Revival in the Hockenheim Motodrom. The event from 26 to 28 April is devoted to the Formula 1 legend who died in an accident at Hockenheim. The event is one of the most important classic racing events in Europe, and in 2019 the BOSS GP will once again be the main event of this highlight.

On the second race weekend from 23 to 25 May, the BOSS GP will be making a guest appearance in the new home of the racing series. At the Red Bull Ring in Austria, the Big Open Single Seaters will share the program with the KTM X-Bow Battle for the first time. The sports car racing series is one of the strongest one-make championships in the world. The event at Spielberg takes place from Thursday to Saturday.

In June (Update: 14–16 instead of 21–23) the first of two Italian appearances of the BOSS GP 2019 will take place at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza. On Italy’s fastest motorway, the adrenaline level will rise as always, because besides skill, the drivers will also need a lot of courage.

Another highlight in the 2019 calendar is the popular event in Assen (Netherlands). Instead of the Gamma Race Days, this time the BOSS GP will be part of the DTM programme (19 to 21 July). Last year, BOSS GP and the German premium touring car series had already contested the event together in Spielberg, and now the partnership is being extended.

From September 6th to 8th, the BOSS GP will once again attend the Masaryk Racing Days in Brno. The Czech racetrack attracts with a roller coaster that is well appreciated by the drivers. The most exciting races of 2018 took place here.

The BOSS GP will return to Italy for the final round of 2019 and to Imola after a one-year break. The races will take place on the former Formula 1 track from 11 to 13 October.

In the calendar planning, particular importance was attached to extending the intervals between the individual events and dividing the races into seven months. There will be a summer break in August.

As usual, every race weekend will have two races of 20-25 minutes each, in addition to training and qualifying. The exact schedules will be published at www.bossgp.com before the races.
