Four engine suppliers in four years.

Holding out for Renault power until December 1992, then being forced to take customer Cosworths, then deciding to use TAG electronics. Being the fully active...

Once the lease era hit, many companies haven't allowed any of their engines in private hands, although there are exceptions. Cosworth is the most generous, having selected generations of lease era...

Two car team. One car driven by John Watson and David Hobbs, the other by John Andretti and Davy Jones. Should be a video of a spectacular crash by Jones on the kink/Kettle Bottoms area of Road...

My impression was Marlboro and Shell supply quite a bit of the funds, and perhaps driver salary money. There was quite a bit of informed sources from the sport that said those two sponsors picked up...

Monaco 1982 where he won his first race is one of the strangest F1 races I've ever seen.

One tries to leverage their strengths the best they can. At the end of the day they don't care how they win, as long as they win. There was a different but similar strategy during the Schumacher-Hill...

BOSS or other vintage series.

Dale's shop is in the Chicago area...

The Toyota/Honda rivalry is considerably different than the Toyota/anyone else in the world rivalry.

Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, powered by Honda?

Aren't the LA Toyota dealers still the big sponsor of the LBGP? If the IRL joins/merges/absorbs CC isn't this interesting? :-)

The race isn't over until the checkered flag is waved.

I think they are banking on the car getting better so DC can get the most out of it.

True, their finishing has been inconclusive. OTOH, look at potential. Most of the DNFs are not driver induced and Speed has been one of the more prolific passers in the field both his F1 seasons....

In his book he says he'd had several interesting offers from CART teams over the years and even visited the Penske HQ in '91. He says there were no other F1 drives available he was interested in, and...

Someone pointed out before the USGP that of the (then) 20 starts by all cars from RB and STR in '07, Speed had the second best finish.

The teams don't usually hold accidents caused by others, tire and mechanical problems against the drivers. At best, Speed has one driver influenced DNF for the season, and that is questionable as...

That's not true. Ferrari hadn't won a WDC in 21 years until Schumacher came and brought the Benetton braintrust along with him.

Actually there was passing, just not up front. Even if it were true, other tracks get similar complaints.

Since the McLarens lapped everyone but Massa, and finished a minute ahead of him, the lack...

Whether the team can afford it is largely irrelevant. The idea of professional racing is to get someone else to pay for it, and hopefully make a profit. You may see some one-off teams trying to...

IIRC, The sponsor (McKenze?) came with Goodyear, so he got to take his team mates seat. Wally Dallenbach qualified a car for Mario one year when he had to race at Monaco during qualifying. Many...

He's a smart driver. He takes calculated risks, doesn't throw much away, his car hasn't let him down, and he's only going to get better. He's going to be awesome.

Historically, there are four top teams. Historically, one or two get it right in any given year. Historically, there are very few winners outside of those teams. Historically there are few repeat...

I didn't think there was a lot on common between the M16 and M23 given the timeline but am unfamiliar with cars that came later, such as the M24B Cosworth (that JR drove in 1979). Does anyone know of...

McLaren was a bonafide Indy constructor as well as team. Not sure how much was in common between the Indy and and M23. After dumping their 2708, Porsche switched to a "customer" March for '88, but...

Haven't had trouble with Revell tires but I build primarily their sportscars (Corvette racers, BMW Z8, Enzo, and others). Their 1/24 F1 kits were notoriously for their badly mishapen tires but they...
