I came back from the kitchen from making myself iced coffee, and there's JPM and Ganassi talking to the press.

Holy cow. I remembered when Jacques couldn't find a ride and considered NASCAR.

Just stunned me.

I was quite surprised at the mention of the technology (in the link above) coming from F1 to NASCAR. It's still a pushrod V8, carburetor, and 4-speed transmission, among other antiquated items, being used on the race car. Perhaps its all the precision manufacturing that's going into the V8, carb, trans, et al.

Me too. Wonder which specific technology made it to NASCAR; aero, brakes, manufacturing as mentioned...

I was quite surprised too. Maybe Jeff Gordon could go to F1?

I remembered 3 years ago he said he'd love to do it, only if he were to do it right, meaning starting the F1 career like 10 years ago. And Sir Williams said at the time Gordon will be too expensive to retain.

That'd be cool but tough. Imagine the spray coming off 43 cars at seperated by inches....not quite sure racing in rain will ever happen on ovals.

These guys crash when it's nice and bright out. Bring the factors of rain, the races will probably last half a day!
