I know of at least one more signing....

miniman · 8 Mar 2007, 22:04 (Ref:1861843)

so what's the mystery?

dave not neil · 8 Mar 2007, 23:04 (Ref:1861894)

Well it might give you lot something to ponder over for the next week...

"oh look, Honda have issued another worthless press release about a driver they won't do anything with. All hail the next Darren Manning/Adam Carroll/James Rossiter"

Well i'm sure if you take your viewpoint to Honda F1 they would listen very carefully and possibly even take Conway off their development scheme. They probably don't know much about racing and would be happy to listen to your assumption, as would Martin Brundle and Mark Blundell.

Russfeld · 9 Mar 2007, 14:43 (Ref:1862377)

The Honda Junior team is anything but. They sign up more guys than Renault or Toyota, and do absolutely nothing with them. I take that back. You get a sticker on your car.

They certainly know a lot more than 99.9% posting here but Russfeld does have a point.

Anyway, I hear from a Honda F1 employee that it is only for a test and that it's being paid for, so not much of a development scheme, yet.

runshaw · 9 Mar 2007, 15:02 (Ref:1862386)

Renault sign up more guys than Honda. Honda don't exactly do nothing with their young drivers, a lot of drivers I am sure would love to be in Rossiter's position, being a test driver for Honda F1, Manning is an IRL driver, Sato and Davidson are now Grand Prix drivers who were signed up to the development scheme way back in 2001.

dave not neil · 9 Mar 2007, 19:16 (Ref:1862553)

Oh look, another meaningless argument.

Last2LiftOff · 11 Mar 2007, 13:01 (Ref:1863606)

Boy, it got kinda chippy in here in a hurry huh?

Where were we? I can't find the testing schedule anywhere. The next test is Silverstone, when?

strider · 11 Mar 2007, 13:22 (Ref:1863616)

Nicely put, L2LO!

The next test is at Silverstone on Thursday as part of the Media Day. It's kinda pointless as it's being held on the short National circuit, which is not one the F3 guys race on.

But it will be interesting to see how they all manage running on the confirmed '07 tyre. Some teams may adapt more quickly than others. I reckon Asmer will be fastest again if he's back from Japan.

META4 · 11 Mar 2007, 13:48 (Ref:1863626)

gonna be very hard for Asmer to be on Thursday in England as on Tuesday/Wednesday there are the second official tests of the japanese formula3 at Suzuka Circuit

strider · 11 Mar 2007, 13:57 (Ref:1863629)

I did say 'if he's back from Japan'!

My hunch is that he'll give Suzuka a miss and be back in the UK, but we'll have to wait until Thursday to find out.

I'm also curious to see who'll be driving the second Mygale. They've tried three or four drivers now and I reckon Ben Clucas is their best bet if they're both up for the challenge.

runshaw · 11 Mar 2007, 16:45 (Ref:1863689)

I feel if Ben Clucas has finally managed to get a decent budget together to do a competitive F3 ch'ship, he may as well race a Dallara to get good results on the CV which he deserves. I'm not saying the Mygale won't get results, but there is a lot of serious development work ahead to try and get close to the Dallara. But as you say, if he is up for the challenge, Ultimate have the best driver combination to develop the car.

I'm guessing Stuart Hall isn't back this year then? Does anyone know what Ronayne O'Mahony is doing this year?

AngolaFan · 11 Mar 2007, 17:30 (Ref:1863704)

hello family racers i am newcomer and hanging by threads of palest silver i could hav stayed that way forever but i found what i was looking for.
this season i will push for angolan sportsman Ricardo Teixeira. He flags Proud of the Palancas, Proud of Angola! people might start looking at Angola in a new light. What they will see is a nation and a people that has the same heart and the same spirit as their football team. when is championship start of?
may you all live safe, wonderful and joyous lives.

Until next time,
I am Pasha

You're right. I'm sure if Ben Clucas had the money available he would have signed up for a top Dallara drive ages ago, but I don't think he has. If Ultimate/Mygale are prepared to subsidise him in return for his help in developing the car, that may be the only way forward.

I haven't heard Stuart Hall's name mentioned for a while. Carlin may yet run a fifth car, but I don't think it would be for him.

Ronayne O'Mahony hasn't been mentioned at all, has he? Either here or on the Euroseries thread. Maybe his Dad has decided that he's spent enough!

META4 · 12 Mar 2007, 04:04 (Ref:1864272)

gives you an idea about Clucas abilities...

i have some good news for Brit motorsport fans , Keiko Ihara will be racing again this coming season... in formula Master with Euronova

dave not neil · 12 Mar 2007, 20:56 (Ref:1865059)

Oh dear god.

Does she not realise how annoying she is getting in the way all the time?
