From the Desk of Thor

We are ecstatic about our esteemed driver, Herr Schumacher's brilliant efforts today of behalf of Valhalla Team EERO. We are certain that the Driver's championship shall be ours!!!!!!!!

Herr De La Rosa put in a credible performance until his retirement, we were hoping for more points, but we are satisfied with our results.

ON to Japan and World Domination!!!!

We were able to locate the remains of our former colleague, Loki von Klenze working as a short order chef in a diner in Terre Haut. He shall be brought home to Valhalla and receive a hero's burial. We offer our condolences to his family.

Following rituals performed in the Black Forest on the eve of the new Millenium, expect him to be back in his former position as our Press Officer by early 2001.

From a Spa near the Canadian Border:

Rydell's Rangers are relieved to report that they came through today's race with most of their colours flying. Trulli tried his best but due to the unholy spirit that possessed the BMW Williams car of Button Spice, he was forced to pack it in early. However, the remainder of the team drove a valiant race and we commend Herr Frenzen for his third place finish and the always-delightful Ricardo for his lightning drive to finish in the points.

A stiff protest has been filed with the Race Director over the disrespectful reference to Herr Frenzen by the American Media as "Hank", and we have been assured that the individual responsible will be sent home to be firmly disciplined by his mother - when Mrs. Barichello finishes taking him to task for referring to her husband as "Ruby."

We are pleased to escape from the United States with our entourage intact and look forward in good spirits to Japan.

Highlights:
Gonk Racing Inc. slipped of the top 650 and it looks like Snafu Racing is right on their tail. 57 points separate them! Another +50 for Neil and -7 from Gonk and Snafu Racing has real chances to take the chequered flag first!

The title is not decided yet! Who will win, Al's Ferrari chassis and Honda engine (but HHF and Gene drivers) or Gerard's Hakkinen and Zonta drivers (but Jordan chassis and Supertec engines)? Tension...

Three teams fighting for third place on podium, separated by 25 points.

Great fight between My cars go wroummm and Rydell's Rangers. It's a tie at the moment, but our cars have a better position in standings! (because we have more wins, of course

)

Almost forgot, Leeds United Champion has 517 points, in 434 place, and with 517 points in 433 place is ..........Arsenal Racing!

So, the title decider race promises us a lot of action!

Rydell's Rangers congratulate the winners *sob* and wish them every good wish *sniffle* and now will go over to McLaren and borrow some kleenex.

We do, however, look forward to Honda Power next year all round and hope that M. Panis scores many points for our team next season and our (*&^%^$$ Jordans become reliable as well as fast.

Again, we say most hearty congratulations to the podium and well done to all competitors.

Gonk Racing Inc. Press Release:

Here's what the ever-vivacious Vicki Butler-Henderson had to say:

"All at Gonk Racing Inc. would like to extend their (begrudging) congratulations to the champions of the Ten-Tenths championship. However, your glory will be shortlived *evil cackle*. 2001 will see the Gonk Racing Inc. resurgence, and finally we will take our place among the upper eschelons of F1 stardom. *ahem*. Be warned, Gonk Racing Inc. will seek revenge..."

At this point, Ms. Butler-Henderson was restrained and removed from the building, as she foamed at the mouth and her eyes began to glow red. Needless to say, we are looking for a new press officer. Please email gonk@wedidcrap.co.uk.

Testing times from Barthelona:

1: U Katayama 1.59.345
2: M Strachan No time - no car.

It's been a laugh - roll on 2001!!!!!!
