Superfund on Jordan/MidlandF1
Comments
[blind speculation]Or is it true that there is no more place on the engine-cover because of the radical wings....[/blind speculation]
Norb Seidler tested once for us, at Vallelunga, with several other dudes who rented some time in the car. And from what I can recall of the times from the test, even if he is ours to lose, we're not losing much... I can honestly say this is the first time I've identified the Re/Max logo on their car.
No doubt it may have been there between 2000-2002 where the cars had about three hundered different companies names and logos cramped onto their car.

I also took it to mean that the Austrian driver was leaving aswell.
who designed this stupid language anyway, the Welsh? :P
:hehe:
I'm with Matt on this one (:o ) Why are we sure Superfund is gone? We've got an austrian driver+ superfund has sponsored many cars in the past. Same as Muermans: they're persona sponsor of Doornbos, but team sponsor of Minardi. You can be both or not.
There is still the pic of the Minardi, but Minardi is not on the list any more.... :mad: :( :o

what's so funny about that??
Champcar is a great series.
It sure as hell aint F1, is it Steve. TDW's F1 days are OVER! :hehe:
If he was really under consideration why wouldn't he give Minardi a go - new car this year, rookies in the Jordan, powerful current-generation engine from the 4th race :confused:
And if he's no longer interested in driving as a potential backmarker in F1 why the hell didn't he bugger off to Cart last year? :o :rolleyes: Was Huub expecting a call from Ron Dennis?
Do you charge admission Steve? The comedy value here is priceless. :hehe:
Oh btw, I still support Jos. And I think he did a hell of a job by managing to drive F1 for 7 seasons. Especially because of the damage he did to his own carreer when he started driving for Benetton in 94 ;)
Perhaps he has better luck in the US. I certainly hope so.

AtMinardi they had the wholceenginecover, at Jordan they only have a mediam sized logo.
I am afraid to say they have gone!
Shame but you get that!! We need to be better at keeping our sponsors and not losing them to 2nd rate teams like Midlands.
If Superfund really has left Minardi we'll need some quick superfundraising........ This looks bad :(:(
And what radical design element of the PS05 will make it impossable to display a sponsor on it?

Betrayed by the benevolent dictator...
The GP really should be a Sydney street circuit event incorporating the SHBridge imho. Imagine the beaut camera shots with the Opera House in the background.
Track on one side of bridge, grandstand on the other.. *dreams* :)
Saying that it's still going downhill, however, might be wide of the mark; the new owners have managed to stop the financial bleeding of the last few years, and though I loathe the fact that we've become a 'spec' series, there's still time in the coming years to find manufacturers interested in being involved with the series. If you simply hate the cars they run, then blaming the split has nothing to do with it, as the "IndyCar" formula always involved the wide-track, big-tires-in-the-rear, heavy turbo cars we see today.
And let's not forget that unless Champ Car co-owner Kalkhoven stepped in to buy Cosworth, our F1 team might be without an engine at the moment. To that point, things can't be all that bad if we're talking about Cosworth having one of the most potent engines on the F1 grid, funded with what is essentially CART money...
