Budapest: Will's Charity Event

Thursday, August 6. 2009

In Budapest, William and Sanitec sponsored a very special event for local children.

Will and Global Fund for Children visitors

“Together with my partner SANITEC, the Global Fund for Children and the National Child Relief organizations we try to give our young visitors a very special day at a motosports weekend to to take them out of their everyday and sometimes difficult lives”, says PMSC driver Will Langhorne when he arrived in the paddock on Saturday morning. For almost two hours he makes time for his young visitors. "The children will have a walk through the paddock and then they will visit me in the starting grid for the qualifying session. Later on the kids will watch Saturday's sessions of the Formula 1.”

Will departs for the Hungarian Grand Prix

Wednesday, July 22. 2009

Just outside Budapest, racing at the Hungaroring requires tires that can endure the high summer temperature as well as a strong qualifying finish, since the narrow circuit makes it difficult to overtake others during the race.

Good luck Team Sanitec!

German Grand Prix: Nurburgring

Thursday, July 9. 2009

Post-race buzz from Silverstone is that contact during the race disconnected a brake line in the #7 car. Luckily Will avoided any major collisions.

After spending two days testing in Germany at the beginning of the month, the Sanitec team has arrived in Frankfurt and is preparing for the hilly, demanding track of Nurburgring for the German Grand Prix. 

 

Silverstone: Final

Sunday, June 21. 2009

It's a disappointing end to Silverstone for Will and the Sanitec Racing Team. 

Will reports from overseas:

"It's something specific to this car. Ultimately the speed in this car depends on me completely changing driving style, and I will double my efforts, come back for testing next week."

Istanbul: Qualifying

Saturday, June 6. 2009

The car still isn't 100% optimized, and with his placement in the qualifying Will needs to drive hard tomorrow to grab some points.

Istanbul: A Shaky Start

Friday, June 5. 2009

It was a rough practice in Istanbul, and despite Will pushing at the end it just wasn't happening- the tires were done.
We all hope for a better ride in qualifying tomorrow.
