Re: The Alessandro Zanardi IndyCar Thread
Max Chilton has really proven his talent with his maiden oval victory at Newton, Iowa, in his first season in IndyLights. He really impressed me with this, and from that, I can easily understand what Chip Ganassi sees in him. Let's see how he performs compared to the results of Graham Rahal and Sage...

That's a smart business decision by Dale Coyne: an up-and-coming, talented youngster / twisties specialist for the full season and an oval specialist for Indy: and they are both funded!

Re: Robert Doornbos' new enterprise (NSFW)
At Newman/Haas, team officials deemed him immature before they sidelined him and he lost his drive.
Good to see he's still got his, erm, drive.
Here's wishing him all the best with his recent business venture.

You couldn't really read any of the sponsor logos with the old colour scheme of black on chrome. I guess that's why they had to change it.
The new colour scheme is not a beauty (just yet) but it does a better job at representing the sponsors.
