That is my point exactly. He needs an oval win, any oval winto get that monkey off his back. The "snatching defeat from victory" roadcourse performances is not Marcos Ambrose of V8Supercar days....

Since Marcos has been racing in the US, I have seen him snatch defeat from the jaws of victory on 3 occasions: Leading the rain sodden Montreal Race by an almost Earth to Moon margin, especially when...

Like to say congratulations to Mathias Ekstrom for leading 7 laps of a Sprint Cup race in his first ever time in a NASCAR.
As well the "Other Tasmanian" Owen Kelly coming home 5th after a cut tire...

These comments date to his Craftsman Pickup days where it was suggested he would never make Cup status, there was more than one obnoxious individual at the time posting..It appears this board has...

It looks like Jan Magnussen in a Cup car at Infineon and Owen Kelly(V8Supercar journeyman) in a Nationwide car at Watkins Glen. No mention of who will replace Biffle in that race, although I have...

slorydn1 thanks. When I first visited here and mentioned Marcos Ambrose, one poster became very derogatory for no reason at all . I think the "floating" Guests fear that irrational behavior,...

That Hummer Buggy is better than the one he ran last year. I am hoping Carlos Sainz, the retired WRC world Champ can pull it off this year, so close last time they ran the Rally Raid in Africa.

Shame about Stephane Peterhansel, won the Dakar 4 times in the cars, 7 times on the bikes, now out of it after a blown engine.

True and that is why even the CART race did not make much sense. Eventually virtually very few were watching it in the US, why would US sponsors waste money for that?

Past tense here. It is not...

I think the benefit was the other way around. We provided the 2nd best race that Indycar participated at and it was a hugely welcomed by everyone over its 18yr existance.

I think they were trying...

I just did a 26 day tour of Northern Europe , Scandinavia and Russia. 10 countries in all . Motor sport I saw on TV: F1 race in Singapore and someone falling off a bike in practice at a GP.

Do you think he had something to do with it?

Nice to see Marcos make the field.

Agreed what reception? After that non-qualifying effort at NH, he is going to keep a low profile.

Agreed.

Basically the arrangement the V8Supercar drivers have , they have regular meetings with the car owners and the organizers to discuss individual and group problems. My feeling is the France family...

Patrick Carpentier suprises in qualifying. 12th in Cup and I think 7th or 8th in Nationwide. He has been impressive considering his total lack of experience and poor equipment.

Surfers Paradise may disappear as the A1GP would like to race there. Currently Alan Jones on behalf of the A1GP is putting a submission to the Queensland Govt. A1GP is suitably international more so...

Agreed on that. The Goldcoast Bulletin would be rather biased as regards how wonderful a merged organisation would be.

Scott Speed was Mr Obnoxious in F1, has not changed much.
Anyway it was interesting to see two road racers in positions 1 and 2 for qualifying.

Amerged CCWS and IRL would be a new Legal identity. CCWS had not renewed the Surfers contract as far as I know for 2008. We now know A1GP is pretty keen to get onto the Surfers Event and Alan Jones...

I know Boris is keen to do that..but their is no funding or Teams he could run with. Funding would have to come from the US.

This has not that much to do with Toyota but the Culture of Japan. The extreme work ethic/over studying is part of their doing a "good job"

Not really Tassidevil: Pruitt did race at Bathurst, but was very uncompetitive. Vasser was going to race here or try too, but got a better offer from CCWS.

In a Nuschell: We are so good EVEN the top dogs of NASCAR want to run here. That is the articles in the local papers condensced. Sound familar?

I feel it is very similar to when Montoya came to NASCAR. Everyone knew Montoya, but not that many in other parts of the world ,had much a clue about NASCAR. In a sense Dale is saying similar things...
