you already have a couple small budget team who cant make the motegi race if they did 2 races that far outa the states it would make it even tougher on them

Honda pays the shipping costs to Motegi.

touche then! hahaha

Simona is up for the autosport rookie of the year award. Looking at the other candidates, its a pretty easy choice this year!

You're right. Kamui was far and away the best rookie this year.

I would have easily said Vergne on that list in terms of achievement.

Question. Is Dixon Confirmed for Ganassi next year?

Would there be an reason to drop him? Don't think so. Finished 3th this year, in a season where Penske looked to have the upper hand.

The guy has a good relation with Chip, and Chip is loyal towards drivers he likes so I think he doesn't got a thing too worry.

In an interview with Scott at the gold coast he said that he would be driving for them as far as he was concerned

Chip Ganassi said he would do whatever it can to retain its current drivers.

Kanaan's left Andretti.

It'd be a shame if he can't get a top drive and starts to fade out in the midfield.

It's official that Graham Rahal drive for TCGR in 2011?
Andretti Autosport withdrawn the fourth entry and back with two or three cars? The RHR (Izod) sponsorship is gone.

have anyone further informations?

Today RHR signed a 2 year deal with Andretti Autosport

As for Rahal in TCGR it is said that it's almost signed deal because somehow Rahal managed to find 10M $ in sponsorship deals.

Thats more than most Pay Drivers in F1! I cant quite belive that...

That might be 2 year deal because I read somewhere that Ganassi has 6M $ budget on each car.

So Graham might have 10M for 2 seasons + 2.4M from TEAM cash and we have a budget for 2 years of racing in top team.

Agreed.7
TK is far and away one of the best drivers in that field. Yes he cant qualify to save his life, but he's one hell of a racer.

Gannasi hass fluttered with the 3 car team before. A Driver like TK would be ideal to justify a third car, especially with the Penske Boys looking so strong. If not where else? Panther? Who knows...

Yeah, a guy who took two struggling teams to 6 top 10's, despite not driving much for the first half of the season and bouncing back from team to team. That dude must be absolute shit. Give me a fucking break. Dario is a 500 win and a championship(maybe not even that) away from retiring, Dixon's laying the ground work to start his own team(probably if Hartley doesn't make it to F1). As much of a Kanaan fan as I am, the target is Will Power, and why take him on with someone who's nearing retirement? He's much better suited at Luczo Dragon, where he can mentor Rafa, and help bring that team some consistency. As the de facto Penske satellite team, He could take them to the next level. At TCGR, all of his strengths are well covered, there's no new tricks that they can teach him, and there's no new tricks that he can teach them.
