I'll buy that for a dollar. Hard to tell what he had in a Prost. Or a Minardi for that matter. Don't know much about him before that.

He's awful, the worst example of rent-a-ride ever. :thumdown:

Break out your full beer cans! :gomer:

Alex Yoong and Gianni Lavaggi say "thanks!" :D

Believe me, I'm not taking up for him. I just don't remember him being any more pitiful than those two (or a good many others). Until they get the value of the series back up, I don't expect that many A and B list drivers are going to kill themselves to get here.

I've heard that Mazzacane is great for poison ivy.

Yuk Yuk

don't insult the latest of the great line of backmarker ride-buyers from overseas! just wait till he's gifted a win or a top 5 in a crashfest, then you'll all be eating crow! :rofl:

How sad is this, "Mazzacane is the biggest racing hope for Argentina since Fangio and Reutemann." :shakehead

I'd put that Argentinian kid who kicked a$$ in F.Renault in Europe (Ponte or something like that) way before mezzacane....

Whatever, the Fittipaldi deal is a rentalride like your typical GT3 Porsche at Le Mans, I bet we might see Milka Dunno in that car next year. :rofl:

[pinniped]

Does he still have that semi-mullet? :gomer:

[Railbird]

might as well get used to ride buyers kids, that's what it's going to take for a while.

Hey, maybe ol' Gaston plays the violin, or is a gourmet chef, or rescues orphan cats in his home town, or some other such nonsense for the "human interest" bits the broadcasters seem to love.

I was expecting something from Dr. Corkski by now, but I guess hes too busy writing new material for this season. ;)

How sad is this, "Mazzacane is the biggest racing hope for Argentina since Fangio and Reutemann." :shakeheadI think he meant Juan Fangio II. :D

Yup, a car on the grid's a car on the grid at this point. It's just sad that there are quite a few competent drivers who won't be in F1 or CART this year, while Mazzacane is. That's motorsports.

Yeah - kinda sad that a great like Fittipaldi is only associated with wanky rent-a-ride deals. Since Emmo apparently only lends his name to ride buyer setups funded by other people's money, I suspect we will continue to see a Coyne-like procession of unqualifed drivers in this seat. I think we are going to have to put up with such arrangements for a year or so until OWRS can start getting Champ Car back on its feet.
