Gordon/Montoya "Trading Paint" to be rebroadcast.

Hi Guys.... Today, I was totally pleased to get to see the Speed TV re-broadcast of the live special they did last week from Indy. Its an hour and half show....and totally and completely entertaining. They are running it again, this coming Wednesday....check their program guide for the time (or tape it if you can't watch it). I was amazed how much fun it was to watch these two guys go "play" in each other's race cars! Gordon ran only 7 laps I believe, best was a 15 something! That is nothing short of amazing to me (and I think it was to him as well). Even Montoya in the Cup car is an amazing thing to watch. A Winston Cup car on a flat road course is not the easiest thing to drive....and Montoya was not pussy-footing around the circuit by any means! The in-car footage of Gordon driving is just awesome! How did he do that? Word is he practiced for three days (after Pocono) using F1-2002. If you haven't seen this....don't miss it on this coming Wednesday! My respect for the driving skills of both of these drivers just went up about 500% (and I had high respect for them both to start with)! Regards, Tom

They talked about this during the Canadian GP. Hats off to J.Gordon for an amazing performance. It just beggars belief how good M.Schumacher is, then.

Do you guys really believe Gordon never sat in an F1 car before, and jumped into one in front of dozens of millions of TV viewers risking to make a complete fool of himself? :) Achim

As someone in the original discussion of this pointed out to me, Mario Andretti once said "if you can drive, you can drive". I am not about to debate that philosophy with a guy who's won at every level he's raced. Particularly not with last weeks demonstration that the more the cars change, the more the driving skill stays paramount. Mike On Wed, 18 Jun 2003 00:11:03 +0100, "redTed" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Do I believe he'd never sat in one? Yep. He's said so repeatedly as in pining for the opportunity to test one. As far as risk making a fool of himself, not likely. Sames true for Montoya. Having an Indy 500 trophy on the resume means that you don't suck as a driver (even when it was an IRL only event all you saw was former CART drivers win). Tag onto the I500 a couple of F1 races and some CART records and he's got nothing to be embarressed with. I'm just worried that JPM might decide that after F1 he might decide to 'retire' to Cup racing... :) On Wed, 18 Jun 2003 09:05:53 +0200, "Joachim Trensz" <[email hidden]> wrote: >Do you guys really believe Gordon never sat in an F1 car before, and jumped >into one in front of dozens of millions of TV viewers risking to make a >complete fool of himself? :) > >Achim >

After watching the event, I think it was obvious he had never driven an F1 car before. At the same time, I think the 4 time wc champ is pretty secure with himself and doesn't worry too much about making a fool of himself. He was like a little boy in a candy store. -Tim "Joachim Trensz" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:bcp2u6$l2vn8$[email hidden]... > Do you guys really believe Gordon never sat in an F1 car before, andjumped > into one in front of dozens of millions of TV viewers risking to make a > complete fool of himself? :) > > Achim > >

I don't think Jeff cares about what anyone thinks at all. Look at his performance in the Michilin Rally Masters series last year and his general reactions towards it. If it has 4 wheels he seems sincerely excited to drive it. Jason
