Alex Yoong

MinardiP1

Ok now that i've got your attention with such a *controversial* name in the subject title, i'd like to ask those 'in the know' what AY is doing with himself these days.

Any hopes to get back into single seaters and have another crack at F1 later on? Has he lost his Malaysian sponsors? Could he rustle up some cash and do some test driver duties anywhere?

Genuinely curious, seeing we have so many here that would know what's going on. :)

Is there a callender out of where and when the races will be?

Yoong looks happy :D



The car looks pretty good also...




The report stated that Alex Yoong is the 'owner' of the Team Malaysia.

The over-statement of the year award goes to the following sentence in the article...


"...Since failing to unseat Michael Schumacher, the former F1 driver has been keeping in fine form by racing in Champcars and the endurance-type V8 Super Cars in Queensland, Australia."

brooksey,

http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200503/s1323847.htm

rd. 4 nov 6th, i think...

calendar seems to be brands hatch - germany - turkey - australia - malaysia - bahrain - south africa - mexico - usa - usa - korea - china - dubai...

brazil, portugal and japan also wanted races but cannot fit i guess.

Brooksey

I'd say it will be Eastern Creek. I doubt the series will have enough of a profile initially to justify a street race.

If it's at the Creek (or anywhere in Sydney for that matter) I guess i'll be there.

FlyingPanda

well that's a pleasant surprise,
according to the official website, the Aussie race was going to be in the Broken Hill / Mildura area, quite a desolate part of the country.
