[the sween]

I like this kid, ive been watching him for a few years and i think hes a winner. justin wilson isnt the greatest racing driver in the world and when he was in f1 he held his own with a new jag team, he didnt set the world alight but he aint a bad driver, seb is slaughtering him week after week year after year in more or less equal equipment, this geezer is good, im not saying he's gonna win the world championship but i think he will make a big impact next season, what do you think.

[texasmr2]

I think he will show he has skill and I cant wait to see what he can do.

Other's disagree so just wait a minute and you will findout what I mean,

[Ron Dennis]

Not sure what the last comment was in aid of Texas, care to explain that one?

Every topic on this board is going to have people who disagree, so maybe we should always finish our posts with "just wait a minute and see what I mean".

I have stated elsewhere that the Newman/Haas teams budget is almost as much as every other team in the champ car field - just think of it folks - that is like Ferrari the same money to spend as McLaren, Toyota, Honda, Renault......you get the picture.

Newman/Haas has a full sized wind tunnel, where all the other teams have to do with a homeless person farting behind a roman candle!

It is therefore no surprise that the Bordais keeps winning.
Last season A.J. Almendinger more than matched Bordais in an inferior car, so I feel there are several other CC drivers just as good. I also feel that along with AJ, Justin Wilson is a better driver - and we will see him dominate as Bordais has if he (Justin) gets the Newman/Haas drive.

But hey I am sure others disagree so just wait a minute and you will see what I mean…..

i think he will just be another DaMatta. did very well for himself in Champ Car but being in a lower team wont really make waves!

hey Ron why would Newman/Haas need a wind tunnel when its a one make series?
See in the last race they are upping the P2P feature to 100HP turn that boost up

[Ron Dennis]

its a supplier series yes - all having the Panoz chassis this year and Dalara's prior to that, but the teams are allowed to make tweaks - hence the wind-tunnel

but hey others disagree so just wait a minute and you will find out what I mean!

Panoz now and LOLA before. Dalara is in the other series.

I think Seebas will do well in F1 he knows how to conserve his tires and be fast while saving fuel. He has been driving with no traction control in Champ Car.

Yes he is clearly in the top team but his team mate is never close to him, NEVER. AJ Almendinger had the best engineer in champ car. This is the guy who is now the chief engineer for Dornbos.

Of course Seb is in an inferior car so it wont be like JV unless he kicks but and gets to a better team in his 2nd season.

I doubt Seebas would fit in a modern F1 car.

Oh, not Sebastian Chabal the French baby-eating rugby player.

[texasmr2]

Just refering to the thread I had already started on SB a month ago RD and some of the opinion's given.

yes youre correct - my bad -

[Ragnar]

yes youre correct - my bad -

I can understand the confusion. Lots of people have stopped watching either series.

[Ron Dennis]

i watch both - every race, just a slip of the finger

[texasmr2]

For some reason I seem to miss most of the CHAMP CAR race's, have they all been televised?? I need to get a 'game room' setup like a friend of mine has with 3 television's so I dont miss anything. I cant stand it when they have two or even three different serie's race's on at the same time, you miss so much.

[Ron Dennis]

They are all televised but not advertised!

you need to keep a check on the IRL and CC official websites to know when they are on and what channel

The last race of the CC season is from Mexico sometime this month

[texasmr2]

Cool thank's RD and that should be a great race, I really like the track layout in Mexico. I wish they would bring back the Mexican GP though as it has alot of history and watching the car's go through the Peralta leading onto the main straight is awesome!!

I usually refer to http://www.tvracer.com/ for race time's and channel's but sometime's I forget.

Mexico City is Nov 11th at 2:00pm EST on ESPN2
