Hey maybe he can be the first driver to catch fire in the pits with two different types of fuel during his career! (Ok, that was sarcastic I know)

Why do we keep getting these warmed over F1 TV dinners when there are so many other young drivers from North America that need a break? :flame: The stupid thing is most of these guys don't end up over here anyway for whatever reason,(mostly lack of cash). It almost seems as if they put out this PR (trolling) just to see if some fool company will pony up the cash - then they try to make a dea with a Champ Car. With this guy I guess he'll be visiting ING or ORANGE to see if they feel like funding a has been. :shakehead

Because NASCAR (in it's many forms) sucks the funds out of corporate America. Call me a NASCAR hater (like that's a bad thing), it's true.

Using that logic, I suppose it is the A students fault that the kids who show up to class high and drunk get Fs too?

I showed up drunk and high all the time in school. What was your question?

Verstappen sucks. Money needs to spent on young drivers and not F1 washouts.

The annual Jos to ChampCar thread is about 3 months late this year.

He's like the Donnie Beechler of ChampCar. Everyone is working on a deal for him, but nothing ever happens.

As bas as Jos is, the worst aspect would be his 54 rabid fans flooding the champcar fora with "JOS THE SUPERPILOT!" rubbish.

On the plus side, Lola could collect valuable data on the effect of gravel on undertrays and wing elements.

Verstappen is probably about 10 years too late. If only he had sucked in Europe like da Matta did, he could have come here and end up with a mediocre 2 year F1 career instead of a mediocre 8 year F1 career. That and 14 year olds in Holland could actually race without fear of getting their asses kicked (literally) for beating the Boss.

Now he's just a washout probably screwing a young talent out of a seat.

Yes, Johnny was second on the list, I think your correct. We better knock wood now that we have mentioned his name here. Wait for it... :rofl:

I thought it was about Tuesday's PKV announcement confirming CDM.

I think the .1RL would be a better choice for that.
