FBMW Germany - 3rd Round
This weekend was the 3rd Formula BMW race weekend. Once again, I watched it live from home. It is something different to watch the races you are actually supposed to be racing.

I am learning to deal with the fact that my racing career has taken a one-year-brake. I am neither racing karts nor cars. Of course I have done some testing, also drove some kart races. Not to forget The Mallorca Cup, where I finished 5th under the Rookies. But I was meant to drive Formula BMW Germany in 2007. Which did not happen because of a Sponsor dropping out. At first I had a big problem dealing with not sitting in an FB02 cockpit for 2007.
Now I see it as a challenge. I have time until 2008 to find a decend Sponsor, who will support me for a longer time in my racing career. I have enough time to get my body with fitness training into great quality. I am testing different cars on different race tracks, that is always a plus. And one more positive thing: I get to see how my "next-year-competitors" are acting on and off the track.
I am taking this "one-year-brake" as a golden opportunity. I am a volunteer at the german Speed-Magazin.de as a writer and photographer. Speed-Magazin.de is a big online motorsport magazine in germany. I am also attending many events, not only to meet new people, but also to get the name JACKIE WEISS out to the world. Beginning of June 2007 I started with my personal training at the Sports Clinic Bad Nauheim. It is the number one place for race car drivers. All the F1 BMW drivers attend there, also the drivers from Willi Weber and many other great race car drivers. Lately I was there doing my training program and Nico Huelkenberg was just beside me, doing his sports program. I said "Hi, you did a great race at the weekend!" - and he said "thanks" and smiled....
I am keeping my head up and stable ;)
I can barely wait for 2008, when I get to show the guys from Formula BMW how a lady drives...

GERMAN TV films Jackie
in FR1600,
Oschersleben/Germany
My second time turning a "couple of laps" at Oschersleben. This time I'm leaving the racetrack with a bigger smile! I had to show RTL (big european TV Channel) what I got. I drove the FR1600 from the Motopark Academy.

The day started out already in stress. We couldn't find a seat for "small-Jackie"!! Right before we were about to give up and call it a day, we found a descend seat. Then I got the car the first time explained to me and ready to go! The TV crew came to the racetrack at 8am; we had a timeframe until 12pm, since the video was going to be broadcastet on TV the same day at 6pm. RTL mounted 2 cameras on my car. One had a cockpit view, the other was down by the right front tire. They followed me with a Safety Car around the 3,667km long track in a Volkswagen GTI and filmed me
from the front and the rear. Top finish of the day, the reporter Kim Höhne got to drive in a Ford Fiesta ST Cup with Instructor and ex driver Patrick Bernhardt from the Motopark Academy. Her face expression is priceless. To see it for yourself click on my link.
To sit in a formula car again, since a month break, was an amazing feeling to have back! Now I am really excited for the 5-day test in Southern Korea with the 2.0 Liter Renault from Team E-Rain.

Incredible what I learned during these short and very hot 3 days!

This race didn't have that many Rotax Junior Drivers. The heavy winds from yesterday with the Gatorz Cup on the track died down, so our times have been better: I got into the 44seconds and finished 2nd.

I snatched the lead in the Main Race after 4 laps - crucially ahead of Carmyn Schottmuller and Casey Neuman - and led the whole race with a comfortable 20-second cushion until the flag.
It was a good race at the Speedway last night:
My sister Daisy tooked the pole position for the Heat with a best time of 43.520sec meantime I had a power problem and ended up in second to last.
In the first lap of the Heat Race I lost my chain, but managed to finished 4th.

I finished 4th place in heat and main race in my new TonyKart Chassis at the LosAngeles KartClub in Fontana. I know I need more practice with the new chassis, because it's way different to handle, especially
the brakes....
We met a lot of nice people in Californa and I'm looking already forward to Grange on the next weekend!

Crash in the Heat for the
Champ Car Rotax Challenge
at the XPlex

Apr 9,2006

4 Races in this season so far at the XPlex, and the second red flagged race! I had a great start in my heat race, went from 3rd to 1st by the first turn. Too bad it only lasted a couple of laps: I got passed by
Austin Isaac for 1st. When I went on to get my position back, I nailed a dirt pile and flew out of my kart.
Luckily I was ok. I wish I could say the same for my kart and my helmet....

2007 will be my first formula car race season. I am very enthusiastic and highly motivated for the upcoming months. When I started kartracing 3 years ago I made a lot of new friends and met many professional racers who helped me with their experience to
improve my performance. At this point I want to thank all of you who
gave me inspirations and also many thanks to my supporters like Alpinestars
who is my first sponsor and helped me with all of my racing clothes. And by the way: it's fabulous to wear!!
Of course also many thanks to my parents and especially my sisters who sometimes have a 'hard time' with me and my schedules!
If you want to be informed what's going on in the formula car world, step by on my new website at
http://www.jackieweiss.com
or have a
look in the german online motorsport magazine http://www.speed-magazin.de
See you there!
