True, but he didn't return to Formula 1 until after the final Champ Car race of the 1994 season at Laguna Seca.

Nice way of ignoring the merits of the drivers entered for this years' Indy 500.

Oh, and Montagny wouldn't have been an active F-1 driver if it wasn't for Ide getting kicked out in the first place.

Speaking of races losing its luster, Le Mans should be right up there - where have the factory teams been to stop Audi from utterly dominating the race year in and year out, for example? It's almost ridiculous how easy Audi has been able to completely own Le Mans as of late.

Don't know what to say really, as I've never really come across anyone as hardcore as you - do you honestly mean the technology is that more important to you than close racing on the track? Wow. Just.. wow.

I can say, however, that you are part of a minority in your views about GP2 though, as there are a ton of people who think the GP2 races each Formula 1 weekend almost is the highlight of the weekend, given all the action just about every race produces.
