Formula One: Presentations Update / A1 GP: Sao Paulo / NASCAR: GEM-Petty merger

All well received in 2009? The motorsport world certainly seems to sleep. Apart from times of Dakar, but rather that I follow only in passing.

ferrari_2008 The culprit is a little € sports that put the little rally in the foreground. But what can one do with such long legs as well. Since I am a rally fan eh not so, I look only rarely pure. When it comes to Formula One, there is also little to report. Only during the presentations has done something. Ferrari has moved in front, Red Bull finally given a date known.

The Italians are already at 12.01., Thus presenting next week Monday, the new car. However, only the net. If you look at pictures from last year, you can probably expect is that one should not expect much. Red Bull gives himself and makes the presentation jedwege 09.02. just a roll-out. And this is the list of presentations from now:

12.01. - Ferrari (studio photos)
15.01. - Toyota (studio photos)
16.01. - McLaren (presentation)
19.01. - Renault (roll out)
19.01. - Williams (roll out)
20.01. - BMW (roll out)
09.01. - Red Bull (roll out)

Still lack the ex-Honda team and Force India. The latter test the new car in March, with Honda, there is surprisingly little to hear.

Interestingly, it is of course already have, will look like first drafts, but what is presented is never that which then turns into Australia the early rounds. But I suppose all this snow plow will have a front wing.

A1 GP - season finale in Brazil
Small surprise from the A1. Rather than decide on the season at Brands Hatch, it is still hanging on it and go in a race at Interlagos at the start. Nice thing to come once the race so then transfer times is friendly. I'm curious, how many people are there on the course. If there get the hut is full, it would be a clear sign that could expand in what direction, if one wants to wipe out one of Formula One.

NASCAR - GEM / Petty merger
For weeks, it means that GEM and Petty now but have finally finished their merger, you still hear no final announcement. Although written obituaries were already hard at Petty Enterprises, but is happening (yet) nothing. I reckon not even the fact that the Petty team will survive a full season, but whether they are actually swallowed, the other is again a highly complicated matter. For Petty Enterprises no longer Petty is one of the family alone, but also an investment company. In addition, the business of the Petty family have branched out, and not so easily solved by the team. Probably would like to get everything in GEM's hand, but since the Petty family, along with investor probably says "no." Is interesting but the dismissal of Elliott Sadler. He's actually a contract that only last May, was extended for two years, and now complains against his former employer probably. This is all very confusing, especially given the fact that after the release from Petty Bobby Labonte absolutely no driver has more under contract. Who should take the # 43 so that one, if only for marketing reasons, will not let it die? And even if Sadler is not necessarily a championship candidate - better than what is normally so rumschwirrt on the market, already. It would make sense to think Sadler to move to Petty.

And what else?
TV program comes back tomorrow. You can see anything anyway, which would not run three times.

    for A1GP.

    that would be awesome if they would of course go there. But what I wonder is it more on the official site is still nothing to find.

    to fully factor. I already think that you would get good bude full. by the emerson fittipaldi yes still has his finger in the team with brasil in there he will see to that for promotion enough. felipe is also held guimarães talent to be a very good and strong and has the same factor as safe as a vettel down there. just stop without f1 seat! ;)

    guess if the right frame grabs to program it should be successful final season. think of the brazilian stock car series.

    and run off because the times are in indonesia again better for Europeans. race at Kyalami, Mexico City, portugal, brands hatch. it should fit. But the problem is nunmal. formula racing series in the winter in the winter you should make a large arc around Europe! : D but it must live. A1GP and I am also on the night of 4! :)

    Ansich you're right, that ESP more or less just shows too little of the Dakar. Mainly in the Traidition has the event. But what can you do? Dakar interested in Germany but less than Tour de France and is less in the news (positive and negative).

    I'd stick on ne Summary of 2 hours or more looking forward very much, because I work a result of the rally übern day anyway and I could not follow the pictures simply fascinating.

    Especially gabs today still the chance of four tour and there may not even stay out ESP simple if they want good ratings and determined brings indoor soccer UAHC Dakar more than ne live stage.
