That isn't sand-bagging, that's just going out on low fuel with the purpose of breaking the record.
I don't know guys.. I'd love to be optimistic about Honda and BAR this year, and the car seems good and the engines do seem to have the grunt.. But they've had so many huge, catastrophic engine...
I thought they had pretty good attendance at Toronto last year. That was my first live CART race (though I've been a CART and F1 fan for over a decade), and I'll be attending probably 2 races this year. I'm hoping to add Montreal or Cleveland assuming all the events from last year are still on...
I've never met a Mustang or Camaro driver that I couldn't win over after giving them the pleasure of the sound of a Honda VTEC motor at 8,000 RPMs.
And I've only had an RSX Type S and an Integra GS-R - You should have no problem convincing people with an NSX :)
Senna had his share of questionable tactics and team favoritism. I remember him crashing into Prost at two Japanese GPs with titles on the line. There were mighty shouting matches that Senna was getting better equipment than Prost, and even Gerhard Berger admitted that McLaren was Senna's...
He also blew it in Australia, I think.. Spinning out of the lead. But the Williams BMW also quit on him a couple of times too when he looked overwhelmingly fast.

Actually, I consider Kimi a big step up to Mika Hakkinen. Hakkinen was the only driver I've ever seen who looked like he was pissed off that he won the race. I remember a picture from the USGP where Hakkinen was sitting in a lawn chair with an inflatable duck around his neck. He still looked...
I have to totally disagree with that - watch some of the "Legends" series on Speed from '93, and you'll see Schumacher in only like his 3rd season of F1 consistently falling just short of Senna at the top of his game, and in pretty much equal equipment, and Prost in the all-singing all-dancing...
As big a fan of Honda as I am, I still think they've got a lot of catching up to do.. And while I think dumping JV's huge salary makes a lot of sense, I don't have a whole lot of confidence in the driving team of Button and Sato. Or BAR for that matter. I think Honda should've stuck with Jordan.
Actually, the T in the 348 and Mondial T meant transverse gearbox, not transverse engine.
Although, if memory serves me properly, the Lamborghini Miura had a transverse, mid-mounted V12..
