Yeah, right, the best way to give young drivers a chance to show their skills is to drive on the rev limiter for some 50-100 miles. Boring! A short track is much more interesting to watch.

Dunno why you guys are so negative. Remember there's are corners at the end of those straight(away)s. With minimal downforce those little cars would be drifting through Turns 1, 2, 3 & 4! As I said, give the F2000 and Star Mazda sponsors a taste of the big time instead of despatching them to the backblocks.

2011 Skip Barber National schedule:
March 16-18 - Sebring (with ALMS) April 29-May 1 - Virginia (with Skip Barber Regional) May 27-30 - Lime Rock Park (with Grand-Am) July 1-3 - Road America (with Skip Barber Regional) July 21-23 - Road Atlanta (with Skip Barber Regional) September 16-18 - Mid-Ohio (with Grand-Am) October 6-8 - Lime Rock Park (with Skip Barber Regional) Ouch, only three spectator races. The reason is that "not only guarantees the drivers more race time, but allows the option for them to pick up additional seat time through Lapping Sessions and similar activities. Drivers will also be able to receive even more coaching and feedback, as more Skip Barber Racing School instructors will be at this event." - o - So the 2010 Road to Indy schedule is: March 19 - Sebring (USF2000 - with ALMS) March 27 - St. Pete (Indy Lights, Star Mazda, USF2000 - with IndyCar) April 10 - Barber (Indy Lights, Star Mazda - with IndyCar) April 17 - Long Beach (Indy Lights - with IndyCar and ALMS) May 27-28 - Indianapolis (Indy Lights, Star Mazda, USF2000 - with IndyCar) June 19 - Milwaukee (Indy Lights, Star Mazda, USF2000 - with IndyCar) June 25 - Iowa (Indy Lights, Star Mazda - with IndyCar) July 10 - Toronto (Indy Lights - with IndyCar) July 23 - Mosport (Star Mazda - with ALMS) August 7 - Trois-Rivières (Indy Lights, Star Mazda - with Nascar Canada) August 7 - Mid-Ohio (USF2000 - with IndyCar and ALMS) August 14 - New Hampshire (Indy Lights - with IndyCar) August 21 - Road America (USF2000 - with ALMS) August 27 - Sears Point (Star Mazda - with IndyCar) September 4 - Baltimore (Indy Lights, Star Mazda, USF2000 - with IndyCar and ALMS) September 17 - Laguna Seca (Star Mazda - with ALMS) October 2 - Kentucky (Indy Lights - with IndyCar) October 16 - Las Vegas, Fontana or none (Indy Lights - with IndyCar) |

Juncos' four 2011 Star Mazda drivers will be Tatiana Calderón (10th in 2010 Star Mazda with no top 5s), MartÃ*n Scuncio (6th in 2010 USF2000 with five top 5s and no podiums, 4th in Star Mazda debut at Road Atlanta), Joao Horto (7th in 2010 Star Mazda with four podiums and no wins) and Gustavo Menezes (2009 Jim Russell Future Driver Award winner, jumps straight from karting! I don't like that.)

Sage Karam, Zach Veach, Connor de Phillippi, Mikaël Grenier, Rusty Mitchell, Philip Major, Brandon Wagner, Daniel Herrington. That's not as good as it should be, but it's not a tragedy either.

The first round of the 2011 USF2000 Winterfest has been held at Sebring on January 3-4. Both Andretti cars of Spencer Pigot and Zach Veach retired in race 1, so victory went to Vinicius Perdigão of JDC. On race 2, the Andretti show was completed with a 1-2, with Veach winning and Pigot edging Perdigão by 0.490. The other drivers were J.R. Smart of Pabst, Trent Hindman of Arms Up and Matthew DiLeo of Brian Stweart. 6's not bad, is it!

Here is some news on the Star Mazda front:
http://www.pelfreyindyracing.com/ I met Dale and Nick last May in Indy when Andersen Racing gave Nick a Star Mazda test at Indianapolis Raceway Park on the oval, then later put him in a team car for most of the rest of the season. Nick is a sharp young man with talent and Dale is a savvy businessman with a great passion for racing. I was impressed by both men and i wish them well. You can officially consider me to be the very first fan of this new Star Mazda team. |

The second and final round of the USF2000 Winterfest has been held at Homestead. Spencer Pigot won two races and third in the other one, whereas Zach Veach won it and finished second in the other two. Trent Hindman finished second and third in two of the races. So Veach is the 2011 USF2000 Winterfest champion. There were six cars in the field again.

Dunno why they bothered having these 'winter series' when only a handful of drivers turned up. Extra pre-season test days would be a better way for drivers to prepare for the upcoming series.

At this stage of the year you would've thought Conor Daly had something lined up full-time for 2011?

With their first rounds only a few weeks away (USF2000 March 17-18; Star Mazda March 27) the entries for both series are still very thin, especially considering the 'next level' incentives of Mazda scholarships in both series. USF2000's website still has the 2010 driver line-up, which is ominous.
