[pchall]

Those noon air times could be a good reason for beers and wings at the local. :)

[Gnam]

This racnig offseason has better progamming than most of the regular season. :gomer:

[nissan gtp]

worth setting the DVR

Thanks for the heads up!

[cameraman]

I'll take it.

Good Lord. About 90% of you people were certain A1 would "never turn a wheel" or you were a bunch of "believe it when you see it's", and the cars were "f'ugly" and "it won't last a year." Now you want tape delays of it to drink beer to. MAN, how far we've fallen! The cars really DO look better after a few too many though, don't they?:gomer:

I'm one of those, but I'm only tuning in to see Danika. :gomer:

Roger that.

not gonna happen, princes wanted $$$


Robin Miller: My spies tell me that Ms. Danica wanted compensation for her A1GP ride and that request was declined by AGR, who figured they were doing her a favor by getting her some off-season road racing miles. So it’s true that Marco is in the seat for the rest of that season.

[NismoZ]

An '04 Ferrari, right? Does it look better than a new F-1 ? Anyway, not really being critical and I'll watch too, but interesting how times change. Wish I could see the new Formula Nippon also. Saw some Youtube stuff on that awhile ago. Any new pics of those? Panoz, I think?...nope it's from Swift Engineering. Huh, with Swift and Panoz FTG still has to go to Italy?

Swift and Panoz have worked with the evil Champ Car and were thus passed over by the spiteful spawn of Mari and Elmer (perhaps).

You can see some aspects of the Atlantic car in the design.

I can't tell if it is just the car that isn't particularly photogenic or if it is just A1GP's bad photographers:shakehead

I just paged through about 1000 pictures on the A1GP site and this was about the best I could find:saywhat:

Don't much care I'll be watching whatever Speed offers up.

I think its the car -- was the designer of the livery trying to hide the hideous humpback profile of the air scoop with disruptive camouflage?

That airscoop is as hideous as the 1995 Mclaren F1 car:

Well, that's one way to weasel out of getting shellacked in front of the whole world. What a dunderhead. :laugh:

NOTHING is as hideous as that McLaren abomination.

The real abomination is that Ron Dennis still gets to call them McLarens. Real McLarens were orange and had a kiwi on the side.

It's the gokart wheels.

Real wheels/tires could help mask the iron lung thing.
