I think our young Aussies should try F3, F-Renault, F-Opel... later go to Europe and make to F1.

That's the Brazilian Model and seems to work fine.

CART is an American series that's stuffed because it's filled by no-names from south of the border (US/Mexican border that is) who "good ole boys" don't recognise or relate to!

... then Tony George created the IRL! And see the past 10 winners of the Indy 500:

2003 Gil de Ferran BRAZIL
2002 Helio Castroneves BRAZIL
2001 Helio Castroneves BRAZIL
2000 Juan Montoya COLOMBIA
1999 Kenny Brack SWEDEN
1998 Eddie Cheever Jr. USA
1997 Arie Luyendyk NETHERLANDS
1996 Buddy Lazier USA
1995 Jacques Villenueve CANADA
1994 Al Unser Jr. USA
1993 Emerson Fittipaldi BRAZIL

Of course, both IRL and Cart are/were lacking local heroes... But limiting the number of foreigners in the series is not a solution.

Sam Hornish Jr. is a better driver because he had to beat the likes of De Ferran and Castroneves.

Maybe I should go back to Germany and ask them to forgive me for giving up my own nationality for another country.

There's enough talent here already.

Moreno in V8 Supercar? No thanks, an ageing former top liner now on the journeyman treadmill is not what the series needs. Vasser was showing interest too.

BTW, did anyone else almost fall off their chair when Vasser said the AU had a better front end than the Champcar?

Where do racing drivers go to retire? Well it used to be Indycar/Champcar but could it be Supercar?

Mmm With Tauranac at Shell where will Roberto go?

Yep he would be a natural-very experienced -and at home with Ron Tauranac and the warm Qld weather should suit a Brazilian, i like to see him replace one of the DJR drivers. He would ring the neck of those Shell cars!!!

He beat world champions in the 1980s in identical RALTs in the Australian GP era!!!!!!!!no slouch Roberto.

He would be a good test driver, but with this restricted test day regime, may not shine till year 2, by which time his team may have given up on him

No. Let's face it, we aren't talking F1 here. The V8's aren't cutting edge technology. Just a lot of power in a heavy car with comparatively poor grip and brakes.

Any good driver worth his salt will do well in a good team.

Come on over Roberto...
