Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Horrible tast calendar.

Haven't kept up with this series much, they still using the old GP2 car?

The calendar is like that to save on the costs of travelling to China and Malaysia. Not too worried as the old GP2 cars could have a good race anywhere.

As far as I am aware, they are still using the old GP2 cars.

I should point out that Plamen Kralev has never driven an open-wheeled car before. Just goes to show how much Trident are desperate.

And he's about 37 or 38 I believe. It's a bit of a senseless decision in my eyes.

it's all about money at Trident

someone should buy that team ASAP

I guess Alessandro Alunni Bravi and Clarence Seedorf are already gone. Who's running it?

Is there any gp2 testing going on soon?

the 3rd or 4th of October if I'm correct

This

sux.

so does the quality of those posts

That is a horrible calendar! Just 3 different tracks!!

Why are they even bothering doing it? Its not like they are even helping racing grow in asia if they are only showcasing the thing in 3 countries and ignoring east Asia completely!

Then don't post, simple as.

I hope the amazn Kevin Nai Chia Chen can find a ride in the series again this season.

A five-time world champion of something is likely to be testing for the smallest english team of the grid. He is targetting, however, something different for his career.

Just a tip.

Loeb?

if it's Loeb, that would hint to a F1 move

Smart kids.

Yes Loeb, he is still planning on making his F1 debut at Abu Dhabi. He is also evaluating his options for 2010 and the GP2 test is going to help him make his decision on both points. He is talking to multiple F1 teams apparantly as well as Citroen.

There's a rumour going around that newly crowned Japanese F3 champion, Marcus Ericsson, has signed with iSport for Gp2 Asia and GP2 next year. See if its turns out to be true.
