Only tangentially related to F1 in 2007, but...
Schu offered NASCAR test.
Puleeeze...I can only reprint Michael, he said it better than anyone:

Then he'll go...
"How Much? Don't mind if I do"
I hope for the sake of those who watch NASCAR (Don't know why you would, NASCAR sucks
) he doesn't get a drive, because you don't want to listen to the same drivel us F1 fans have had to for the last far too many years, oh, hes a bit of a cheat as well as a sore looser. However, him and Montoya would be fun, not exactly the best of friends.
Only because everyone was in-front of it
Not when they start goinng a lap down.

Actually, he'd be pretty tame for NASCRAP. He's never thrown his helmet at someone still driving on the track, and he was unseuccessful in his one attempt at punching someone (actually, I don't think he threw a punch, he just yelled a bit as his engineers got in the way.) Plus, how many crew cheifs were suspended this past season for illegal cars? At least 5.
I can so see Schu, after 16 years of hanging it out round the likes of Eau Rouge, 130R, Peralta, Curva Parabolica and Tamburello, deciding to go and race with a bunch of fat, old, rednecks that have an aversion to turning right.

Don't go saying that in Alabama if you go (aah Top Gear is great)
Jordan had what, 3 race wins? That's more than a lot of F1 teams in the past.
4.
Though 2 of those were massively flukey. Belgium 1998 and Brazil 2003.
But still, as you say it is indeed more than a lot of F1 teams in the past.
The win in Magny Cours (don't recall the year) involved a bit of fortune too, as it was the rain falling that forced everyone to change strategies. I'm trying to think of the 4th, was it Monza?
I think I saw the 2003 win - wasn't there a crash on the last lap that took the leaders out and the Jordan was gifted 1st?
I think there was a crash on almost EVERY lap!
There was rainwater flowing across the track on turn 2, while other parts of the circuit were almost dry - several cars went off there. In the end the race ended early, I don't recall if it was due to the time limit or if it was stopped as the conditions were too dangerous.
Either way, Fisichella won but wasn't awarded the victory until they realized their mistake, and was awarded the trophy in a small ceremony on track at the next race!
It's one of the tracks I'd love to go to, hope to go this year or next.
LOL, NASCRAP, I hope you don't mind I'm stealing that and using it from now on.
lol, it was sooooo good.

Webber lost it in the final banking, and smacked the wall, and Alonso came along, ignored the waved yellows and hit Webbers debris at full blast and smacked into the barriers at a heavy rate of knots.
Race was stopped because the debris had effectively blocked the track. The conditions weren't too bad at the time either ironically.

I love YouTube...hmmm, the track didn't look all that bad, now that I've seen it again.
It makes you appreciate how dangerous it was when there were tyres flying everwhere, and how much it has improved since.
I'd go with that. I think it would've been a little different had the cars been lower, with titanium skid blocks like they used to have back in the '80's and '90's because the amount of sparks they left in their wake was spectacular, and really would've looked cool in the dark.
But they don't do that anymore...
the brakes glow though.

Don't forget the flames and small explosions in the exhaust!
I think it would be cool, kind of hard to follow maybe though. Watching Le Mans at night bothers me. It really depends on how they do it.
That's true... I forgot about those.
The track would be fully illuminated, unlike Le Mans. More like what they do in some U.S. series.
I wonder how Raikkonen would feel about that...if he has enough personality to feell anything at all.
I'd be interested to at least see one or two night races to know what it's like, but then i predict the track would be so lit up that there'd be no real point.
Williams are starting to piss me off
I am sure you have all heard about Williams saying that they will go to court over teams like Super Aguri and Toro Rosso. They have now turned around and said that they helped develop the Toyota gearbox for 2007.
Come on Frank, play the game! I have worked with the head of trans-mechanical at Williams and he certainly had a reputation so Toyota must be desperate.
