Mr López did with DAMS very good qualifying times in FRV6 last year: he started from pole and 2nd at Oschersleben, and at Dubai he started from 5th and 4th. At Oschersleben his races were very short (a violent spinoff at the very start of the first race and in the second he was forced to retire due to suspension problems), but at Dubai he would finished in top four if he wasn't penalized with an stop-and-go on the first race and in the second one he had a spin-off (touched by Sven Barth?) in the first curve, and from the back he climb up to final 10º place just behind Ryan Sharp.

Mr.Mekola,
Lopez was the big flop of F.3000 2004, and probably he tryied to modified his negative trend accepting what Dams offered him last September: try to help Jani to win the champioinship. But Josè Maria did only one thing: he tested very hard the barrier of Oschersleben and Dubai. And he did not score any point for help his team. REMEMBER THAT HE WAS THE CHAMPION!!!

Lisboa:

López scored four points in 2004 Formula Renault V6 championship: 2 in Oschersleben for his Grand Race pole and 2 in Dubai for his finish at 10th in the second race.
And he didn't test the barrier at Dubai, because he recovered from the spin of the first lap (2nd race) and overtook around 7 cars to finish in 10th position.

Lopez may have not set the world alight in 2004 but he must be a prety quick guy, winnig the 2003 FRv6 Championship against some really quick drivers

Mackmot · 9 Jan 2005, 21:49 (Ref:1196807)

I think Ryan will be doing GP2, he has about 90% of a budget now

9 Jan 2005, 22:32 (Ref:1196839)

Yes and he seems like a nice bloke! will he drive for Isport i think he should he knows that theyare likely to be one of the strongest teams and having been given the redbull green light for Mr Speed Paul And Co will definatley deliver and i know its the wrong thread but watch out for a purchaser of Jordan and a Euro series F3 team as i predicated months ago eddie will stay for a year or so to enable the engine deal but thats about it really best of luck !!!

Crashnet are reporting that Ryan Sharp who competed in the Renault V6 series with Jenzer has not signed for Jenzer this year in the new World Series but instead signed with David Price Racing in GP2.

Nice to see we have a British driver confirmed for the championship.

Kicking-back · 10 Jan 2005, 13:11 (Ref:1197218)

Very good to see Ryan in GP2.

I know one forum member who'll be delighted at that!

Lisboa · 10 Jan 2005, 13:22 (Ref:1197237)

Who is? Ryan's manager?

Mackmot · 10 Jan 2005, 13:26 (Ref:1197243)

Mr Kidzer most probably

Lisboa · 10 Jan 2005, 13:30 (Ref:1197249)

Who's this man?

JJ Jet Plane · 10 Jan 2005, 13:38 (Ref:1197254)

With that hair and those polka-dot shirts, I would have thought Ryan Sharp would be more likely to join Primal Scream circa 1991.

Mackmot · 10 Jan 2005, 14:20 (Ref:1197280)

Kidzer is his number one fan, look up the page a bit.

Lisboa · 10 Jan 2005, 14:29 (Ref:1197291)

What did he say when Robbie Kerr show Ryan how to win a race in the last corner at Valencia?????

Kidzer · 10 Jan 2005, 14:55 (Ref:1197312)

I didnt really say anything...

But I would imagine I am Ryan's no1 fan, and AFAIK, he is more likely to be signing for iSport that DPR

EDIT: Huddon a sec, just googled Ryan Sharp AND Gp2 and the first new article said he had signed for DPR, ill speak to him when i go home and get it frmo the horses mouth

DEADDUCK · 10 Jan 2005, 15:56 (Ref:1197350)

Kidzer my post above said that it is on Crashnet all about Sharp signing with DPR. iSport have signed Scott Speed.

Lisboa · 10 Jan 2005, 15:59 (Ref:1197355)

DPR is also very near to Shimoda....

BSchneiderFan · 10 Jan 2005, 16:07 (Ref:1197364)

Things are beginning to pick up in GP2 now, after an ominously quiet late autumn and early winter. Let's hope Robbie Kerr can get a drive too.

Lisboa · 10 Jan 2005, 16:19 (Ref:1197375)

...and Lewis Hamilton Also!

Kidzer · 10 Jan 2005, 17:05 (Ref:1197403)

I would expect that Hamilton will spend another year in Euro F3 like he did in FRenault 2000 to try and win the championship

BSchneiderFan · 10 Jan 2005, 17:19 (Ref:1197419)

Yes, Hamilton seems likely to have another crack at F3. Having won in such fine style at Bahrain, he's certainly got momentum behind him and must be a front-runner for the 2005 title.

Kidzer · 10 Jan 2005, 18:50 (Ref:1197489)

He has the momentum, but does he have a renewal on his McLaren contract?

Kicking-back · 10 Jan 2005, 19:21 (Ref:1197511)

I believe he does.

hmmmm · 10 Jan 2005, 19:24 (Ref:1197521)

i wouldn't say he won in fine style he did well but most of it was luck.

strider · 10 Jan 2005, 20:42 (Ref:1197580)

Sometimes, you make your own luck.
