Once again news comes to Honda. But the situation remains nebulous. In NASCAR, there is once again selling to announce a team.
But first Formula One. The headlines are still dominated by Honda. Today suddenly leaked a few names of potential buyers, which, given the ultimatum by Honda to want to see the end of a buyer, be a coincidence. Contrary to my previous belief, Dave Richards seems to be some truth to the team. Consistent several news sites, the Richards report at the moment in the Middle East, bored, where he supposedly seeks investors for his Formula One adventure. I really believe that still does not, because after the withdrawal of Subaru, the British a little more time, but he lacks money.
Whether the Arabs, given the shaky economy, dwindling revenues from the oil sector and an inflated real estate market in their own countries but want a few million in the Formula One sink, I think is a little unlikely. The question is just for the one who pays the Formula One. Manufacturer, that's for sure, because they can promote their products directly. "Win on Sunday, sell on Monday" stop. Suppliers, banks, insurance, beverages, convenience manufacturers, who are traveling around the world - might be worth it for a sponsorship. But most of the Arab Investment Company other areas have put their money. Own companies, which operate on the world market there is little, although she did play by the oil industry. Maybe I'm completely wrong there, but the past has shown that you could divert some money from the Arab countries when it comes to sponsorship goes. Of course, you get great interest hockarätige racing series in the country, but that's a little different than having your own team.
The second name is Carlos Slim Helu has today in an interview, a 68 years man whose name few people know more. Indeed it is, according to the U.S. magazine Forbes, the second-richest man in the world, others say he was the richest. That was all before the stock market crash this year. Arm is still not, because he owns the Mexican telecommunications company "Telmex". In turn, are known for their sponsorship of motor sports. Some probably know the logo from the IRL / CCWS series. Telmex also are those who go for a few years ago Bernie Ecclestone's nerves, so that finally a F1 race in Mexico takes place. Helú itself has promoted some racers from Mexico and when I have the right in the head, then this year's Formula BMW champion Esteban Gutierrez thanks to the support of Telmex has made the leap.
It is interesting in the context that Telmex is also on the South American market and the move has been thinking about an expansion in the United States on several occasions. As the telecom market Mika Transportation will probably take place the next one on the market concentration (especially in Europe) would be a world-wide application of Telmex certainly very interesting. In any case, even if Helú today various news seeped through, saying that he should have visited the factory. Probably the IDee that Helú buys the store the day's business but Brawn and Fry leaves. I would not underestimate the variant. Helu has the money, Brawn would drag along the engines from Ferrari and Ecclestone would have another "global player" in the boat, which could establish the Formula One again more on the American Continent.
NASCAR - News
First of the sad news: the legendary Speedway Motel in Indianapolis is closing down. So the hotel was in the many scenes from the film "Indiana" was filmed. In the last 45 years, almost everyone gets accustomed to, which started in Indy. Unfortunately, the owners have slept through to renovate the store in time. Now is it worth it allegedly no longer. And at the moment is not likely to find one who wants to buy the store for reasons of nostalgia.
And one name that will disappear from the NASCAR: Bill Davis. The fact that the team is in trouble, has long been clear. Dave Blaney has made you free, could not you raise a new sponsor. Davis also announced long ago that they wanted to find a buyer for the whole team (Sprint, NW, CTS). That's what you did. For one buys Marty Gaunt, who has long been associated with the team, some of the other buys the businessman Mike Held, of which I've honestly never heard. As the team is called in the future is not out, even if you Blaney now brings back again.
There are rumors that Firestone (Bridgestone =) with the idea of playing to get into NASCAR. Apparently you have recently tested an ARCA car with even a few sentences. Reported at least the Examiner . Firestone denies ambitions to get into NASCAR, but sense it would make even from 2010. First, the contract is with Goodyear in 2011, and secondly, it has been in the past two years, serious problems with the "good friends" from Goodyear. The race at Indy since they only mentioned once, but they too had similar problems in Fontana and on other lines. In addition, Goodyear is suffering from economic crisis. The fewer cars sold in the U.S., Goodyear would not do well. So, you better keep an eye on the development.

Carlos Slim Helú only the name of his mother (Helu) to call is plenty unusual, yet I had heard mostly the shortened version without all those same (ie, "Carlos Slim" or just "Slim"). Is there a cultural basis for your use?
Wikipedia (s) referred to this as a full name. This is the maiden name of his mother, I did not know.
The South American stop, so you never forget the love mama. As well Beispel "Ayrton Senna da Silva" - I think this is also the full name, we shorten Europeans probably only for our practice.
PS: New Premiere News - maybe a Nascar glimmer in the dark sky ...
