Chris van der Drift ain't with Trident anymore, he fell out big time with them apparently

I copied it straight from Forix. These are all the drivers that have competed so far

He got fed up with Trident, he didn't get thrown out. He could test and drive for free with Trident, but he doesn't want to race for Trident in the main season since the brake failure at top speed which caused his big shunt. He doesn't see F2 as an option either, and the main problem is that he doesn't have any budget atm... He says he has plenty of offers, but no money.

Thats good. Yoong is a waste of space imo, so its good they have decided to go with someone who has at least won a race in GP2 and isnt as hopeless as Yoong.

Gaara · PostPosted: Tue Jan 20, 2009 2:35 pm

Yoong wasn't actually replaced, he stepped down because he couldn't give the time to race more successfully because of his business commitments. Same reason he went from race winner to struggling in A1GP.

Damm that is a good result for him considering Kobayashi's domination lately.

Yep. Race starts in few minutes?

What? The race is on already. My schedule says the race would start in 2 mins.

Shaddix · PostPosted: Fri Jan 23, 2009 11:50 am

can't receive eurosport, and nobody cares about streaming because almost everyone has eurosport, sucks

Mattzel89 · PostPosted: Fri Jan 23, 2009 12:34 pm

why the hell did the race start at 11? Eurosport's EPG had it scheduled for 11.30. Luckily I knew Eurosport would mess up anything so I set the recording to start earlier, let's see if this race was good.

gd49 · PostPosted: Fri Jan 23, 2009 1:27 pm

British Eurosport 2's EPG was correct...

Thought the race was good, some nice battles and the usual scary moments of amateur driving from the GP2 field, not amazing but worth watching.

Mattzel89 · PostPosted: Fri Jan 23, 2009 1:32 pm

There were several incidents which just make you go "GODDAMMIT YOU RETARD" as fan, especially when the driver's called Gonzalez, Villa or Perez
