Scheuy loses race!

[mapguy]

Unfortunately it isn't an F1 race. Well, sort of..

Schumacher took his F1-2003 GA to race against an Italian Air Force Typhoon. Story here. (http://www.tsn.ca/auto_racing/news_story.asp?ID=63940)

The two combatants started the races (Three races 600m, 900m and 1200m.) on adjacent runways. This was probably because Captain Maurizio Cheli didn't want to get the Schumacher chop at the start. The jet one 2 out of 3 with Spoonface taking the first 600m one.

He should have called Carbender before the race for some tips.

I never thought of the Buttmacher chop angle. You are a wise man Davie. ;)

The pilot should start demanding $21 million a year salary. :laugh:

Isn't the Typhoon that new Eurofighter? in which case, :rofl:

[RichK]

I'm sure the Italian fighter's tires were too rounded on the edges, I can even tell from the picture. That should be rectified by the end of the Ferrari/Fighter Jet racing season.

But I think the original is much more attractive.

No Scuhmi chop? Probably because none of his other opponents can send a sidewinder up his *ss.

Yeah, didn't you notice that the sidewinder is standard equipment on the 2004 Mclaren and Williams F1 cars? They think they've finally found a way to beat Schuey :)
