Do you NEED a car this fast...? NO, but do you WANT a car this fast?? YES!!! -Tom Hnatiw
Race CARS Not DOGS!!! Adopt or foster a retired greyhound -Me
Imagine the OP's over-reaction had Alesi splattered the wall on his third lap......
Today was likely installation laps for the team & Alesi. They still have time to complete the phases. You cant possibly be that bad (186?), you would actually have to TRY to be that horrible. So I dont believe thats the case. I still think both will embarrass themselves but not in this instance, shaking down the car not worrying about speed. We'll see as the week goes on.
My words may not be what you want to hear.....but what you need to hear. TF CHALLENGE: CONVINCE 1 NEW PERSON TO WATCH INDY NEXT SUNDAY
As I stated in another thread, the team didn't fire the Lotus for the first time until 10:30 last night.
I wish them well!
Have a very blessed day!
He's damn near 60 I guess, born,,, June 1964,,,
I guess the track is open now ??? I thought it
open'd this weekend...
He's a Frenchman, of Italian origin, married to
the Japanese beauty queen, Kumiko Goto...
Wow, not bad work if you can get it....
Sure has great taste in women,,, poor fellow,,, meager existence...
I ask why,,, I'd find some secluded beach, and play Crisco,
for the month of May...

Your Grandfather never trusted Roger Penske,,,
Check your math.
"The IRL's future should be good, but it can't be the grass-roots series Tony George envisioned. That was a wet dream." - Bobby Unser
Yep ... he should be wearing it backwards - riding mechanic style. That would be good for at least another 10mph.It had to be the hat...
Exactly!
Every race I run in is in preparation for the Indianapolis 500. Indy is the most important thing in my life. It is what I live for. - Al Unser Jr.
Everything I ever wanted in my life, I found inside the walls of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. - Eddie Sachs.
Oh,,, Bingo,,, Sorry,,,
I was thinking, and did recheck math,,,, lol... Fifty,,,
At Sixty,,, I thought he'd be to old to play,,, Crisco,,,
But at Fifty,,, it will just take two cans, and a little more time,,,
At Almost 50,,, I'd still head to the beach,,,
There's Still That Big Giant,,,,,,,, WHY,,,,
If he beats up some meat in a walk-in freezer he'll gain 15mph easy.
LOL!!!
When I saw it I thought "he makes me remember someone" but didn't know who, now I got it! xD

FFU's update from their facebook page:
Starting with a mere tub, The Lotus Fan Force United Dallara DW12 was built and assembled in approximately 47 hours by a very dedicated, hard working crew! Today's rookie test and shake down went quite well. A few fairly routine fixes are in store for this afternoon and evening. Jean is getting comfortable with the track and his rookie test will continue on Friday. One step at a time, this driver and race team are getting closer to Month of May success! Spread the word!!
Life's too short to worry/Life's too long to wait
Too short not to love everybody/Life's too long to hate
"There are a number of very knowledgeable and entertaining race fans here. There are also a number of morons. Your job is to figure out which is which." - Rev-Ed

Je viens d'avoir Jean au téléphone à l'instant. Cette première journée s'est bien passée et elle s'inscrivait plus dans le cadre d'un "décrassage" que dans celle de la recherche de la performance pure. Jean doit rouler demain après midi. L'équipe est composée de "vieux briscards" et je cite Jean " Maintenant que j'ai piloté ici, j'ai tout vécu de ma vie de pilote". Le pilotage est loin d'être monotone et simple comme on pourrait le penser mais c'est une recherche permanente de la trajectoire idéale. Coté mécanique, quelques petits imprévus mais rien d'insurmontable. Après bien des rumeurs et des supputations sur sa participation, Jean est bien présent et motivé comme jamais.
I just have John on the phone at the moment. The first day went well and it was more a "décrassage" in the search for pure performance. Jean must roll tomorrow after noon. The team is composed of "old his" and I quote Jean "now that I have driven here, I just lived my life of pilot". Pilotage is far from being simple and monotonous as might be expected, but it is a permanent search of the ideal path. Side mechanics, a few small unexpected but nothing insurmountable. After many rumors and guesswork on its participation, Jean is present and motivated as ever. (Translated by Bing)

Penske could call Vitor and Tomas tomorrow and make this a lot less comfortable for Lotus.
According to my French dictionary, the tricky bits of the translation are "décrassage" is cleaning, scrubbing, scouring, and he says the team is composed of "vieux briscards" "old veterans."

I have gas and could not get comfortable in LeCar. The odour was foul and I could not concentrate on kissing the line.
The french chef who is designated to pour olive oil into the engine was missing and the pig americans used actual motor oil to lubricate the car.

Question
What's to stop FFU from putting Alesi in their Lights car during Lights testing tomorrow to get used to the track at a bit lower speed? If I was the team owner that's what I'd be doing.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security
Nicely done!!Here is what I get from his facebook page

Qui donne se fout ce que vous pensez?
Nothing, except taking time from their normal driver.
Yep.
I had to run away or else be taunted for a second time, but that's what I got for being the illegitimate son of a pig dog. And my mother was a hamster, and my father smelt of elderberries.
But at least nobody speet in my crankcase.

Come on, it's way above 5th grade humor. If I like it, which I do, it's got to be Junior High humor, at least, according to my wife (and she knows everything!).
We want pictures.
