your reference included "americans" referring to us all. So the reference I made to your obtaining personal pleasure could not be made here.
Penske ran promising campaign - probably will end up being better than most new teams. If the Americans wanted to attack F1 properly they would probably do quite well. So don't refer to us all and especially with the old beef and kidney pie guy.
What a stupid presumption. More like there is not the interest. The ability is there.Quote:

Yup, I am just now starting to think they will not make the grid this year. :P
A little coda to this sorry story as the team's assets are put up for auction:

However there is virtually nothing that relates directly to the car apart from a chassis mock-up, a chassis mould, and a single wheel.
Not so sure I'd want a fammable cabinet :crazy: Sounds a fire hazard to me :p : Although the paintings and unopened bottle of champagne may be worth a punt :s mokin:

Could do with a new CNC Lathe ;)
Rarely has the phrase "all the gear but no idea" been more appropriate.Quote:

IF you could have put this unit together with the IP and cars from the ex-Toyota team and bribe enough expertise from Europe to visit America for a couple of years and got a realistic budget, this team might have had a chance.
As it was, they had 25% of the solution.
That was a mockup? I was under the impression they had a near-finished tub. I can only imagine what the FIA inspectors thought when they toured the shop.
Not even that, as one wheel was not enough, they needed 3 more due to stupid FIA regualtionsQuote:

and they went for $500. total for both.
That is right, 500 dollars US as one package deal....Missed my chance, as after that, I only would have needed three more wheels and a go cart engine and been racing....just like peter
that was a bargain, Id have had that for an at home f1 car simulator
