Thierry Tassin is a commentator for a french station La une.He is also involved in the Formula Renault Driver Acadamy...they were looking for F1 drivers...you had to compete true karting...I came fourth in the super final...the winner won a test drive with Team Astromega and a possible seat for their 2003 Formula Renault Monza campaign...so he is involved in finding and supporting new talents.

Mercredi 16 octobre 2002 : TF1 en Duplex de Magny-Cours le 20 octobre !

Ne manquez pas l’émission « Auto Moto » (TF1, �* 9h50) du dimanche 20 octobre, le même jour que la dernière manche du Championnat de France de Supertourisme, �* Magny-Cours. En effet, TF1 mettra les grands moyens en faisant un Duplex en direct de Magny-Cours tout au long de l’émission, pour présenter les Championnats Supertourisme, F3 et GT. Soheil y sera particulièrement �* l’honneur puisque Jacques LAFITTE a récemment essayé sa 406 Coupé Silhouette construite par Solution F. Un reportage de quelques minutes tourné sur le circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours, que TF1 lancera lorsque les caméras arriveront dans le stand Solution F.

Lundi 16 septembre 2002 : Soheil en essais au Mans.

Conscients qu’il faudra mettre les bouchées doubles pour être devant lors des deux derniers meetings (Le Mans, 5 & 6 octobre + Magny-Cours, 19 & 20 octobre), Soheil et Solution F se sont retrouvés le week-end dernier sur le circuit Bugatti du Mans pour une séance d’essais grandeur nature sur le tracé qui accueillera les deux prochaines courses du championnat. Au programme, des essais de la voiture sans et avec lest, afin de travailler sur les réglages de la Silhouette Solution F dans les deux cas de figure.

Un week-end qui s’est bien passé puisque Soheil a rivaliser avec les Peugeot officielles de DAVID et de HELARY, et surtout avec la Seat du second au championnat, le belge RADERMECKER. « Cette séance d’essais a été bonne et nous a permis d’y voir plus clair dans l’optique des prochaines courses du Mans. Ce circuit nécessite des réglages assez spéciaux, car il allie des parties rapides et des courbes �* 180°. »

Ross Cheever is still around, just not racing. He last tested an IRL car a few years ago. Very quick still

429CJ · 5 Nov 2002, 19:32 (Ref:422422)

Nice to have that information. Thank you all!
But nothing on Misiljevic (Or Misiljevic, I am not 100% sure) Swedish, KART world champion, one season in Renault Sport class (Those wild roadster Renaults), but then, nothing...

Then other question: Is Il Barone Rampante -team still existing in some form? And why team was named after marvellous novel of Italo Calvino (or is it)?

euromarshal · 5 Nov 2002, 20:38 (Ref:422463)

Stephane Proulx (could it not be Praulx) was the first racedriver to die from aids.
