    Alonso is slowly changing perceptions, from surly Spaniard to loveable humourous racer..... he'll be doing the cannonball run next!

    This is how Liberty should be trying to prop up F1. Not stupid things like Bruce Buffer and new starting grids. Will never take hold but would be awesome to drivers in multiple disciplines again.

    Is Zac Brown taking advantage of mclaren to grow his United Autosports?

    On the subject of cannonball, had my invite to the 2018 rally today, £12000 per car, for two people, five star all the way, and as many speeding tickets as the cops can manage. Would've cost me almost the same in tickets as the entry last time I did a rally across Europe, but of course, didn't pay any of them in countries that we were using false plates and documents in! Was touch and go at times on getting the car impounded though, and the French would've definitely impounded or even crushed the car if they'd caught us one time, we hid in a barn up a little track in the end and switched number plates, took all our stickers off, and waited a couple hours to make sure they didn't find us

    Yup. Thanks. At least we can assume P2. 'Not specifically stated in the articles, however.

    Unbelieveable tho'...'still no mention of the chassis/engine. I'm presuming still Ligier/Nissan as that's what they ran last year.
    What's happened to fake news journal/editorial-ists....? Why can't they report the facts these days....????

    'Gotta correct myself. They ran the Gibson engine at le Mans last year. All the more reason it would be nice for the articles to specify...:mad:

    Zak Brown does not care about McLaren. He wants them to pay for his racing.

    Please elaborate. Why would one want to lose a competitor in a shallow enough field as it is?
    Likewise. Why would he expect so?

    'Interesting concepts and curious about the rationale.

    Admittedly, he always dabbled in offroad racing (SCORE) and since quitting NASCAR, has returned to them (USAC Stadium Super Trucks and what-not). :)

    I'm still confused...you said "Just watched Robbie Gordon (IMSA, Indy Car (CART days) followed by NASCAR) racing trucks in Australia.... :)"

    Who was in Australia? You or Robbie?
