Viva La Mexico

Justin Wilson will travel to Mexico City with RuSPORT, where Justin plans to compete this weekend broken wrist and all…
As The World of Forsythe Turns
Forsythe’s “Big Adventure” continues… First Mario Dominguez fired, and then AJ Almenginer jumped to "RASSCAR."At least there’s always Mr. Reliable to fall back on, eh? Ywet nearly a fortnight ago, Paul Tracy decided to “Have a Few too many Drinks before Jumping Sand Dunes with a Golf Cart,” claimed England’s Autosport… “Sugar Ray” Tracy suffered a broken right scapula (shoulder blade) in the mishap. Recently Tracy phoned in to Wind Tunnel to give Dave Despain the “real skinny.”
In typical P.T. fashion; Tracy explained that yes, he’d had a few beers that afternoon while watching “MAC” Montoya slap the wall in the Busch Series race. But, NO he certainly was NOT drunk when he later took his Yamaha Rhino ATV out into the desert. I don’t even own a golf cart… Unfortunately I was jumping the Rhino and “It landed on Me…”
I was hoping to use the “I Slipped while Playing Tennis” excuse, but that was already taken. (Can you say Juan Pablo Montoya; McLaren, 2005) Or I was going to try using the “I Fell Down some Stairs when I slipped while carrying some Bags,” but that excuse has also been used already…
Although Tracy had promised to make Mexico City come “Hell or High water,” Tracy has since been forced to skip Champ Cars season finale. Thus Tracy will miss just his third race in 15 years due to injury…
Forsythe’s New Driver Line-up
Forsyther Racing had originally planned on running a third entry for the season finale. Following Tracy’s sand dune jumping “hi-jinx,” Forsythe will revert back to its normal two car operation…
Making his Champ Car debut alongside recently recruited ex-IRL driver Buddy Rice will be David Martinez. Martinez is a graduate of Champ Car Atlantics with vast single-seater experience including the A1 GP series…
Rice who was the Toyota Atlantics Champion in 2000 and won the 2004 Indy 500 will now step into the role of team leader taking over Tracy’s mount with rookie “wingman” Martinez running Almendinger’s chassis…
