Champ Car At Assen

[chop456]

That's the word on the street.  5-year contract starting next year.

We have Nicky Pastorelli.  Is that enough to make you crazy Dutchmen show up for this?   

[LangTall]

We might.....


 

[chop456]

Charles Zwolsman, too.

Forgot about him. 

[Pieter]

I will definitely be there! Come over Chop, you can stay at my place!

[Pieter]

By the way, Pastorelli is from my home town, Rijswijk (ask Team Impala how to pronounce  ), so I will be loud.

With Stoddart in the mix now, there's a chance you could see Verstappen, Doornbos, Pastorelli and Zwolsman all driving.  20% of the grid could be Dutch. 

This race still isn't on the official '07 schedule for some reason.

I take it this info is sound enough to put on the callendar so will add it.  Sounds good.

Weekend General 1 & 2 sept   € 50.00  

Jeez, that's expensive!  Most of us pay €46 for their LMGA ticket :roll:

[chop456]

Champ Car is more expensive than ALMS in the US and Canada, too.  Consider it low rent F1. 

[knetter]

I might be up for this, although I don't normally consider steering left all the time to be racing. Bit of a dull show if you ask me, but if there are large amounts of beer, I'm there

[LangTall]

Fortunatly the TT circuit in Assen isn't just left steering Roy.

Please don't confuse Champ Car with the inferior, fraudulent, born-of-a-rich-child's-tantrum sham that is the indy racing league. 

[knetter]

Ohh, my bad. But still no substitute for endurance racing, A1 GP probably runs faster laptimes than Champcar, saw them at Montreal couple years back, 20 seconds a lap slower than F1. but with four countrymen driving it might be a good show.

[Stranger]

Four countrymen?

Be happy if you see one...

Btw, ChampCar.nl will have 'special' arrangements later on. Basically you will get the same as ticketpoint.nl sells, but either for a bit lower price or same price with extra 'exclusive items'.

Or so I was told...

[Boorish Grobian]

Actually Knetter I think the Champ cars are about ten seconds a lap off the F1 cars at the Circuit GV, not too bad.
Like Chop said, PLEASE don't confuse Champcar with "The Boob's" wannabe, pile of crap.  Wonder how Mario and Michael are going to feel when their boy Marco ends up with every bone in his body broken because some rent-a-stiff (of which most of the IRL field is, including the worlds most over-hyped driver, DP) has a brain fart and puts him into a wall at 220 MPH?
