McLaren ‘fess up to test failure
June 26, 2003
Mclaren admitted that the new car failed the FIA mandated side impact crash test and the car may not be ready until Italian GP in September. Sorry, Kimi, so much for additional victories this year. And it would help not starting each race from pit lane!
Kurt Busch’s weekend plans
June 26, 2003
On Cupseries.com Kurt tells us about his plans for the upcoming weekend off….
Kurt Busch, No. 97 RUBBERMAID Ford Taurus:
“I’m going to take a friend of mine and go to Germany to see the Formula One race. I’ve always wanted to see one, so I thought we’d take the opportunity to check it out here. I’ve never been to Europe, so that’s a pretty unique aspect of the trip for me, too.”
I love it! I knew these guys have an appreciation for F1. It’s just many of the narrow minded fans that can’t cross cultural and international borders! Not here! FastMachines.com loves it all….we just don’t have time to cover it all. :(

If only we could believe Team reports and expectations. Wouldn’t it be great to see Fernando’s first victory? A Spaniard in a French car winning in Germany. There has to be a joke in there somewhere!
