Cordeiro report; A "cheesy" weekend! Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin

Cordeiro report; A "cheesy" weekend! Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, Road America

The next stop of the Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup was the dairy capital of the United States, Wisconsin and more specifically Elkhart Lake, Road America.

Once again, we hit the road a day early with the camper in tow. Not so lucky as I have been, to avoid traffic. Chicago was utterly insane. Toronto to Chicago takes about 8 hours and Chicago to Road America is supposed to be just under 3 hours. This was not the case. Arriving just 15 minutes into Chicago rush hour, I paid the price of being late. It took exactly 4 hours and 24 minutes to reach the track. I was so zonked out it's not funny. Initially we planned to take the ferry across Lake Michigan, but decided we wanted to take the scenic route and check out Chi Town. Omg... 12 and a half hours, straight... too much. I wish we stuck to the original plan.

Road America is a very interesting track as it is incredibly fast with little room for error. What is my favourite corner? Canada corner (T12), of course! Canada corner is a tricky right hander uphill but before that, it is 6th gear, redline, in the Jetta TDI Cup car. Fast fun.

I found myself having difficulties with the track, particularily corners 1 & 5. In Turn 1, I always caught myself over slowing the car. The billboard I was using as a braking reference was OK, but I never let myself become comfortable with the immense grip and speed of T1. Turn 5 was also tricky. The reason T5 is tricky, at least for me in the TDI Cup car, is that the normal racing line is super bumpy. Somewhere near the inside apex is a huge dip that upsets the car and spits it out towards the gator curbing. Sometimes this dip would even cause sudden oversteer and would require throttle off or countersteer, slowing me down even more. I qualified 19th, yeah I was stressed; this was my worst qualifying of the year. I didn't let my inexperience, tiredness from the drive over and once hot streak-turned-ice-cold bother me, too much. What was done was just that and I had to focus on more important things, the fans.

The Chicago Autobahn race was supposed to be the debut of the CORDEIRO racing shirt but alas, it was canceled due to a wardrobe malfunction. With things taken care of, we were ready to hand out the shirts during the autograph session. Wow! The place was rammed! I swear people came out of the woodwork, the Volkswagen section was crowded all kinds. It was totally awesome to interact with the fans and hear great things about the Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup series. I am happy that the debut was such a success and we were able to raise awareness of Clean Diesel racing. We gave out over 200 shirts!

Race Mode. No chance to relax and catch some shuteye this time. It was a busy weekend. Crack open the fridge and read directions. RECOMMENDED USE: Drink one whole bottle for maximum energy. Do not exceed two bottles daily, consume several hours apart. I'm JACKED up now!

Red lights off, great start! Passed three cars for P16. We reach T1 and there goes Jake Thompson, spun off the track and rolled back on! Everyone swerved around him like a swarm of bees, intense! Now I am P15 and we are heading into T5. Remember that dip in T5? Two guys are fighting for a pass and get sucked out wide to the alligator curbing and now I'm P13. It is still the first lap! On a roll, AWESOME!

A few laps go by and I've made it down to P8. We are heading down the back straight into Canada corner. Whammo! Derek Jones and Devin Cates collide. Devin flies off the track, front digs into the sand trap and trampolines him WRONG-SIDE-UP onto the wall. OUCH! What a buzzkill. It was terrifying to watch. All the dust and that bang imitated a land mine. Double Yellow, full course caution. One lap around and we are back at T12 (Canada Corner), Devin is out of his car walking around, good sight.

After some time we went green again. Here we go again, flying into T12, I was setting up to pass for P7. The guy ahead did not seem to realize and began his early apex (Roll Eyes). Under full brakes I couldn't add to that so I let up a bit and steered around to the outside of him, off the track I go! All I could think of was Devin! I managed to keep my foot in it and made it out of the gravel. I lost two positions, now P10.

A few laps went by and another double yellow came out. Not sure what the reason, but it wasn't what I needed. The gap behind me now closed onto my rear bumper. Green flag with very few minutes left. Good restart but he's stuck to me like glue. The draft is HUGE at Road America. It came down to the last corner on the last lap. He passed me on the entry to T14 and I passed him on the exit of T14. We are heading to the finish line, neck and neck! Ten seconds to go! I begin hopping up and down in my seat wishing I had a push to pass button. We crest the hill and he begins to overtake me Nooooooooo!!!!!!!! We cross the finish line and he got me by a foot and an inch! So dramatic. Good race Ryan!

Thank You Volkswagen, Hyperfuels, ViON, Track Mart, Inside Track Racing News, HotBits, Can-Alignment and Smile Seating for helping to make the CORDEIRO shirts successful. It was great to see the fans in the stands sporting the gear and supporting Clean Diesel racing.

VOLKSWAGEN ANNOUNCES QUALIFYING PATHS FOR 2010 JETTA TDI CUP SEASON

HERNDON, Va. (August 19, 2009) The 2009 SCCA Pro Racing Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup is entering the final four races of its second season, and series organizers have begun looking ahead to the 2010 edition of the only clean diesel racing series in the United States. Today, Volkswagen of America posted an online application page for prospective drivers at http://www.vwmotorsportusa.com, adding one more path that drivers may follow in order advance to the final driver selection event that will be held in February.

The final driver selection event will be held in early February 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada and is the last step in qualifying for the factory series. During the event, candidates will undergo a comprehensive examination on the asphalt and in the classroom. After driving tests, media-readiness assessment and physical fitness examination, 25 drivers will be chosen to participate in the 2010 season. Once selected, Volkswagen provides factory maintained and prepared racecars, media support and promotions, a first class at-track hospitality area as well as ongoing driving instruction for these future racing stars in hopes of advancing their careers to the next level.

Potential driver candidates must be between the ages of 16 and 26 as of January 1, 2010 and hold a passport from the U.S., Canada or Mexico. In addition, drivers entering the series for the first time must not have competed in any professional racing series regardless of location. Applicants must be able to submit a season entry fee of $45,000 by December 11, 2009 in order to be considered for the final driver selection event. The entry fee will be fully refunded to those not chosen as a 2010 series driver. Further information on application and series rules is available at http://www.vwmotorsportusa.com.

Three paths now available for qualifying for the final driver selection event are:

Online application Applicants can visit http://www.volkswagenmotorsportusa.com for an online application. On the site, candidates can submit their amateur racing resumes and other details about their past experience. Series officials will then select candidates from these applications to participate in the driver selection program. All applications must be submitted along with the series entry fee by December 11, 2009.
iRacing.com Jetta TDI Cup online racing season In conjunction with iRacing.com Motorsport Simulations, Volkswagen has created an online racing experience unlike any other. The Jetta TDI Cup series car has joined the list of racecars offered on iRacing.com, and iRacing has launched an online version of the series. The iRacing.com Jetta TDI Cup series participants will be battling to earn their way into the 2010 final driver selection event. The top iRacing.com driver to earn a position in the 2010 series will be awarded their season entry fee and will drive the iRacing.com car.
Karting qualifier competitions Earlier this summer, the series began hosting standalone karting competitions at Boston's F1 Outdoor karting facility. The top finishers from each event will move on and compete in the final driver selection event. Like the iRacing.com path, the top-rated karting qualifier driver to earn a spot in the 2010 series will receive a fully-funded ride.

About the 2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup

Cordeiro report; nothing sweeter than a repeater...

Cordeiro report; nothing sweeter than a repeater...

It was a fantastic feeling going into the Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup race, at Autobahn County Club, with the sense of accomplishment from Mid-Ohio. I was looking to repeat (or better!).

I arrived a day early at the track to setup camp and scope out the premises. The track seemed very flat and predictable, more technical than gutsy. Like all things, don't knock it until you try it. It was fast and unexpecting. I placed third in practice and was on a roll! Totally stoked, I headed to my camper to chill out and recharge the batteries before the qualifying session.

We hit the track to qualify and I kept my eye out for the top two from practice. No dice! Where were they??? The track has several straights but not very long in distance making it difficult to judge a good separation from the competitor ahead. I never gave myself enough room to cut a clean fast lap, bad move Andrew! Qualified 6th. Lesson learned! But maybe not so appreciated, yet. I was still happy that I was starting on the third row and positioned to take a podium.

Racing under green... Great start! Passed for P4. Three more to go! I wasn't greedy, all I wanted was a podium finish . A few laps passed and we kept it neat and single file, trying to distinguish ourselves from the middle pack. Megenbier caught Pombo braking too early. I was on Megenbier's BUMPER, surprise! I quickly stabbed the brakes and tried to avoid and overtake -like that deer on I-75 the other day-, but no such luck this time. I smucked his rear bumper. Gave my car a "black eye"! (see pic) Couldn't make the pass clean and gave it up. Doing so, I lost a position to Atterbury, falling back to P5.

Oh snap. Here comes the battle. We raced HARD. Neck to neck down the straight and through the corners. I made several attempts to pass but they never stuck for a clean pass, so I let up. Time was running down and my podium was slipping away. We raced hard down to Turn 1. Atterbury braked too late and his car began hopping off the line. The door was WIDE open. Success! (Borat) I took back P4 and began to gain on Pombo. Out comes the double yellow and the race was over. Checkered flag. WHAT A TEASE!

I definitely want to thank my partners for without their support I would not be able to pursue my dream.

Cordeiro Report; Road America Schedule - VW Jetta TDI Cup

The vision of Road America grew out of the dreams of a man named Clif Tufte. Tufte's dream became a reality in April 1955 when the track was carved out of 525 acres of Wisconsin farmland. Millions of dollars in improvements have been made throughout the years, but the original 4.048-mile, 14-turn configuration has never been altered.

Yea, I know. Hey I want tv time too, not ashamed to admit that . If we hadnt been battling temps I would have been much more a part of that battle. Hanging back was a strategic and dare I say even a more mature (those that know me well will gasp in disbelief) decision, and had I known I was going to toast the motor anyway I would have either hung back more or gotten into the frey to a greater extent!!!

No TC in Long Beach, they raced the GT cars on Saturday so that the teams would have an extra day of transport but still a very quick turnaround time there! TC's have the same situation, racing back to back weekends, later this year.

Hello all--here's the Sebring race in-car footage for the World Challenge GT team I manage and engineer.

We have the only *old* car in the field (a '98 Dodge Viper GTS), and started a team/driver best of 15th. As you can see in the video, we had a number of issues (some self-inflicted) that caused us to finish 18th.

Based on where the car that started 14th finished, a trouble free run could have likely resulted in a top 10 finish.

The video is huge, and hi-res, so if you don;t mind the 422mb file, you'll likely enjoy the footage.

One note--we ran out of tape with about 10 minutes left in the race, but admittedly, there wasn't much that got missed.

The video is kindly hosted by GoFastVideo.com--please check out the wealth of other great racing videos they have!
