Canada Gets Champ Car Team


Mandeville Motorsports Marketing is launching a Canadian based Champ Car team.

Toronto, Ontario (PRWEB) March 30, 2005 -- Mandeville Motorsports Marketing is launching a Canadian based Champ Car team.

The team will be located in Ontario. Mr Mandeville is currently discussing with drivers from Formula One.

This strategy comes as part of an Automotive based manufacturing venture that is very exciting for Canada. Strategic partners have been put in place. This venture comes as part of Mr Mandevilles racing venture. Champ Car is a great series that is on solid footing. Mr Mandeville is in contact with companies that have Global concerns and have shown serious interest in Champ Car. Mr Mandeville is a strong supporter of Champ Car.

Mr Mandeville is also very keen on developing the first truly based North American Formula One team. With it's manufacturing facilities within North America.

Several of the key components and strategic alliances are already in place to make this happen. Several top F1 engineers are on board and ready to make this happen. The next key component is to get the loyalty of US and Canadian corporations to make this happen for the long term. Several US and Canadian Drivers would be considered. The key to a North American team would be to have a North American driver and North American based manufacturing facilities. Many USA based corporations have shown serious intent.

I always wonder how professional a company can be when they use free hotmail email accounts.

Besides the repetition, all the sentences have the same short subject/verb form. Maybe it's a translation, but even the Canucks can write more gooder dan dis. ;)

The original:

"Hosers gonna be meeting, eh? F1 hosers too, eh? Get some yanks and canuck hosers too, eh?"

True dat. How about this?

SeanO, travelling alone and disgruntled with women in general, will renounce Daytona ProtoCraps and attend a street race in Taipei before this deal gets legs.

Better?

Oh, and as far as news releases, here's another:

It has been announced today that Devilmaster will start another Canadian Champ Car team. In an interview, Mr. Devil stated the following....

"It is our intent to enter the Champ Car World Series in 2005 with a two car team. We have been working hard toward this goal for quite some time, and I am happy to report that almost all of the pieces are together for our launch. And if JT selected the correct numbers for the lottery draw tonight, we will announce our drivers at the lottery office on Monday morning."

Ahem, did you finally clear out your PM mailbox JT? So I can send a msg stating that i'm no longer in Toronto.....
:flame:

Sheesh, I even started a thread solely directed at you.....

Steve

[edit] And BTW, even if I did win the lottery, I doubt i would start a Champcar team.... Probably buy into Alex Schnaider's F1 team, just cause I feel there is some russian mafia thing going on there and that would be totally cool. ;)

Oh, and since now I probably have a contract out on me, I'll bid everyone goodbye :)

No biggie.... I have to admit that most of it was my own fault because I always seem to forget something when I go on a trip.... This time, it was your new email addy and your phone number.....

So the only way I could think of to contact you was trying to get ahold of you by PM.

BTW, did you win the lottery so we can announce our driver lineup?
