Heeeey, lighten up. It's holiday time!

There have been a few too many posts focussed on posters in last couple of pages.

Maybe some guys need an induced break for the holidays if they keep it up?

Don't mind the .co.uk, they've got a factory in Tulsa, OK.

And they have a chassis as well, acording to Twitter.

Well, if they have the drawings ready, they can just send them over to these guys in Tulsa and have the parts ready very quickly.

Overall, I'm more worried about the technical updates from USF1 than from the lack of drivers. This is a step in the right direction. The deal seems long term and they're calling ACG partners. I suppose their logo will be on the cars next year, provided the cars make it on the grid.

Seems as though Wurz might be the other driver, on account of USF1 possbly being willing to let him drive Le Mans and replace him with the backup driver for that weekend (Canada).

I think Alex Wurz and Jose Maria Lopez would actually be a respectable lineup for a first year.

With the likes of Heidfeld/Davidson/Sato/Speed/Villeneuve (lol) hanging about I'd say that Lopez is not exactly the find of the year for a seat.

I am happy to be fed my text back to me in smaller chunks if proven wrong but I see him as a big fish in a small pond where he races now....and a probable Rosset or Tuero kind of driver...maybe even a Mazzacane!

The wait will soon be over anyways..only 17 weeks or thereabouts and we can see what we have!!

Well for $8 million USD he can't be any worse than Kaz Nakajima.

At least I hope not.

Good Point.

Are teams allowed to start the racing season a GP or two late?
