Wilson in CHAMP Car (SJGP)

DenVogel
in ForzaMinardi.com Forum
I'm not a BIG fan of CHAMP Car, but Justin Wilson and da Matta are now running in that series. They'll be coming to San Jose for the first ever downtown race. It's no F1, but it's worth a drive for those of us in Silicon Valley. Anyone from MCSF going?

    Accomplished Formula One driver Jos Verstappen made a first impression that his potential competitors will not soon forget, setting the third quickest time of the day

    What about Gaston?? I didnt hear any cheering for him last year!!:o
  • MCSF
    Is he still driving this year? if so we will give a big FM.com hello.

    What is or how is the access to the paddock/drivers in the CART series?
  • FlyingPanda
    thats because Gaston seriously sucked last year. He was in a league of his own behind everyone esle. Fortunatley for us, he wont be competing this year.
    Made worse by the fact that he took the seat of a somewhat talented former Minardi driver when he entered the series...

    Not sure how it is at other events, but at Surfers paddock access is pretty good, you can get really close to the garages and scrutineering area with general admission.

    Access to drivers in anything but F1 and NASCAR seems pretty easy. Past CART/Indy/CHAMP events at Laguna made it as easy as buying a paddock pass. Check this link for pricing.

    You can walk right up to their trucks, and get run over by the cars coming in and out of the hot pit if you like. They usually have an autograph session too.

    That's right. We might have an opportunity to see Jos by then too! :cool:

    Neither of which did CRAP other thanTarso breaking his own suspension with a tow cable.

    ^ Thats asking a bit too much :(

    Vancouver 2004:
    Gaston Mazzacane did not make the start of today’s event, spinning and hitting the frontstretch wall on the warmup laps. This marks the second-straight season that one of the Dale Coyne Racing machines have suffered accidents on the warmup laps in Vancouver. Both Geoff Boss and Gualter Salles crashed before the start of last year’s Vancouver race.
    :hehe:

    Exit 8.

    I did get out of the toxic hell of NJ, and I lived a good life in Orlando for the better part of four years, but your goddamn President had to go and cancel the Comanche program because of his ill-advised war in Iraq.

    I'm not bitter, or anything.

    Tarso never did crap becuase he never had the chance.

    In '98, he had a partial season in the last chassis that Penske built, and it was a dog.
    In '99, he competed in the only Swift in the feild, which, like the Penske, was a heap of crap that he maganed to get some half decent results of evey now and then.
    Last season, he only started three events, he was taken out at T1 in Long Beach, then after qualifying 10th, had the tow rope accident after RHR/AJ (can't remember which one) forced him off track in Mexico.
    Mazzacane came along with his chequebook and Tarso wasn't seen again until the season finale where an early pitstop more a mechanical gremlin put him a over a lap down at the begining of the race...
    Okay! Movies please
