champ car spotting
the other day i was driving in west palm beach when all of a sudden i pass a mcdonalds that had a huge glass room with a banner that read " join the mcdonalds race team" i looked and there was a top fuel dragster and i think a stock and then to my surprise on the wall theres tony kanaans 99 champ car. the sad thing is i'm probably the only person who recognized the car. just thought i'd share a cool story.

Quite surprised they were using a five-year-old image, instead of Bourdais' 2004 championship car. That doesn't make alot of sense to me.

That is pretty cool. I wonder if McDonalds will ever use Seb's 2004 car as a promotional tool?

This would be a perfect place to deploy all of the old Reynards no longer in service, just repaint them in Seb's livery.

^the car will be repainted, otherwise there is no use for it. The can`t even give it to 7-Eleven.

That's awesome! A similar thing happened to me last year. I was driving and saw a trailor that said "Conquest Racing" on the side parked in the front of Hoffmeister Jewelers - not one of the big transporters, just a small one. I turned into the parking lot and one of Justin Wilson's cars was sitting outside by the front door!! They're one of the little sponsors. It was pretty cool.
