What is Alex Yoong doing?

[joseff]

I heard Alex Yoong is taking part... what race is he in? The Porsche Cup maybe?

Btw he earned my respect by winning last week's Porsche race at Macau. So... not such a bad driver after all

[Steven]

well he somehow got in F1, and even at Minardi, just popping up with some money and saying you want to drive a car, but you have only once tried a cart, wouldn't work

Although he might be doing well in some other series, he really sucks in F1. I think, with all respect, that is the same with Firman

[joseff]

True true

Although I have to add... it's pretty tough to measure up to Mark Webber

There are simply too many drivers who do well in other series but suck bigtime in F1. This list includes even Alex Zanardi, Michael Andretti and Ricardo Zonta. All excellent drivers IMO.

Well....the Macau race was first organized when Portugal controled Macau....we only gave Macau their autonomy in 1999 (if I'm not mistaken), so here in Portugal we get to see the race Live hehe....before the rece the aired a programe about the 50 years of the Macau race...and they showed the highlights of the last 50 races....quite interesting.....on thing I spotted....was dear old Alex YOung going off....in the last corner....a very fast right hand corner....I belieive it was in 2000....Webber was also racing there....well....seems to me Alex wasn't born to race in FOrmula cars.....he has a slight problem with keeping them away from the wall....

I don't know if you guys remember Taki Inoue.....he drove for Arrows in 1995 and drove at Japan for Simtek in 1994......well..there's this very interesting sentence about him: "Taki seems to have a problem with pointing the car in the right direction!" heheheh.....more or less like Alex....but a slight variation in the "disease"

[joseff]

Taki Inoue... wasn't he the driver who broke his leg after getting hit by the ambulance when he ran across the grass to fetch a fire extinguisher to save his burning car?

Whoever that driver was... I can appreciate his pain. But sorry, can't help but think that's the funniest scene ever in F1.

I'm wondering if anyone knows the Valentino Rossi toilet dash... I think it was in 2002.

[Monstrobolaxa]

Don't remember Taki breaking a leg.....do you remember in what year it was....so i can look it up?

About Rossi.....what happened....didn't hear about it!

[Wolfgard]

Yup. That's the Taki that broke his leg in the ambulance incident. It's in the F1 rejects website (can't remember the add, but i think it's http://f1rejects.crosswinds.net )

[Monstrobolaxa]

Ok...now I found something interesting it's TAKI hehehe

Ouch!!..... :-&

[joseff]

I think Rossi went to the toilet in Jerez 2000 or 2001, can't remember. I used to have a video of that

Basically he parked by the armco and ran to answer nature's call.

That Inoue pic is hilarious! What a clown!

Yoong drove a Ford V8 in Australia a couple of weeks ago:

but hey if the 2003/2004 points and qualifying system was in 2002 he would have scored one point for his 8th place in australia and qualified for all the races haha...one point is probably like a win to minardi...so u can'd discredit him completely haha...however u look at it...

[joseff]

I for one think it's a helluva good show, a prime example what NASCAR could be...

...if only they'd learn to turn RIGHT

Twice while using canada viagra I shot blood at ejaculation. It's not painful....is this caused by the increased amount of blood and ruptured blood vessels? anyone else had this problem?
