CCWS Off Season Thread
If the regulars aren't too opposed, I'll open an off season thread. Don't know where else to post some stuff.
An interesting read on Dillon Battistini's (and Ernesto Viso's) test with Minardi at crash.net. Quote:

An off season thread is just fine but don't mention PAY DRIVERS!

Rumours discussed elsewhere suggest PT might be pushed out at Forsythe.

He is on a long-term deal. I'm not sure what a payoff would be, likely have to be settled in courts. These suggestions apparently come from PT's mom.

Are there any rumours of potential new teams for 08 ??
we had a few jump up last year that didnt happen (Galles , Jensen) I havent heard any new names yet. and drivers too guys like Matos and Perara (sp) should get a run after good Atlantic form , so I guess we should be looking for those to to test soon as well (hopefully anyway , Matos especially as he has a nice cheque to take along , I know a Pay driver but a damm fine and deserving one ) |

I'm thinking it might be best for Tracy to drive in another team as the current situation doesn't appear to be working.

Havent seen the Tracy speculation, where it this being discussed.
Autosport notes that FPR has a holding contract on Perrera that would see him race in either their Atlantic or Champ Car stables. |

Thanks, Fogel. Have seen the various internet sites discussing it.
Odd situation at the least. |

Mom files grievances, and wages PR campaign on internet forum, at request of nearly 40 year old son. Indeed, very odd. |
