You'll probably have to pull an all-nighter for that job. This thread is beyond redemption anyway

Latest rumor:
Stoddard, the ex-Minardi chief guy, is rumored to move over to Champ Car Series. He'll be a great addition to the struggling series.

Rah's dog is one to be jealous of. Cute thing. As for a rabbit, I'd rather have one in a Duracell See, I didn't say rodent

I'm sorry is this the right room for an arguement?
No this is just contradiction.

According to autoracing1.com's rumors page, he's all but announced his intent to run in ChampCar next year, most likely w/in the next 10-14 days(from 2 November 2006). There's three possible routes Stoddart could take in entering ChampCar, all involving him buying into a current team(most likely CTE-HVM Racing.....). The team's to be based in Indianapolis(which is home to about 2/3rds' of all NA open-wheel teams[counting teams in both CC and the IRL] and their driver lineup supposedly will have ex-Minardi F1 drivers in the mix(most likely to be, according to ar1's "ChampCar Silly Season Page", Jos Verstappen, Gianmaria Bruni and either Christijan Albers or Robert Doornbos). The team will use the Minardi name, as Stoddart still owns the rights to the name in regards to a UK-based company Stoddart owns. Gkaytaz's right in one key regard, though; Stoddart should be a great addition to ChampCar's lineup(he'll be the third new team in the series, following Gelles Racing and Pacific Coast Motorsports).

I believe that Mark Webber has signed a 2 year deal with Honda for 2008/09 to replace Jenson Button who is going to replace Felipe Massa at Ferrari who is replacing Giancarlo Fisichella at Renault who is to replace David Coulthard at Red Bull Racing who is replacing Dan Weldon across the pond.

Dan Welldone will drive for Spyker MF1.

Mike Gascoyne will work major miracles at Spyker MF1 snatching fifth or sixth in the constructors championship from Ferrari who suffer from consistent mechanical and strategic failures throughout the 2007 season.

Stoddy will make an announcement within the next 9 days. The team is expected to be Indy based n feature two ex-Minardi divers.

Alonso and Webber are ex Minardi drivers.
