Well too bad for Champcars, Timo Glock signed with BCN to race in GP2 this season. Eventhough he wasn't in a top team in champcars, Timo still impressed and showed his talent. I was hoping he'd fine a top seat for 06. To me it seems risky to take a step backwards, going to GP2, but then again another year in a backmarker team in Champcars won't do him any good either.

I'm sad to see him go.

Too bad. I'd think that after a year in GP2 Glock will get an F1 test drive job and then just disappear.

He was probably going to disappear anyway when his DHL money runs out.

I think his ride is without DHL (at least as a primary) which leads me to wonder where the bulk of last year's money might go. Has Deutsche Post backing for GP2.

DHL is owned by Deutsche Post. Global Mail is a service of Deutsche Post. He still has the same funding source as last year.

I should have known that, thanks. I'm just picking at straws. I'm reading where DeWalt is a Williams F-1 sponsor now which strikes me as ANOTHER lost opportunity.

No way! Those guys don't have money to run him. Montagny isn't bringing and sponsorship. Rocketsport will more then likely become another Coyne; a rental ride team running various guys throughout the year.

PG is the one who had fkm as a guest last year at one of the races. if fkm doesn't get the pkv ride, more than likely he'll get a rocketsport seat

Psst...Marcus Marshall...maybe at Coyne. His dad is still pissed and will buy his way in someplace.

Like A1GP...Marcus says, "At least I'll be on a proper road circuit, all I've been doing is street circuits of late." He thinks 520hp won't be hard to handle after the 800hp Champcars. So, I guess your experience in CC was good for something, eh Marcus?
