I'll be in T15 for Friday practice at the USGP and T4 for race day.

Hoping for a Rosberg win!

Same here in turn 15

. Driving down to Dallas tomorrow and then we (a group of us old farts) will be heading down on Thursday. Taking the GTR from KC to Austin, so it should be interesting. Especially since they have no spares. I know the very first was a blast and I'm sure this one should be the same. Well maybe not as cold.

If you let me ride shotgun, I'll show you the cool roads!

I do have a solid 20 minutes of driving a GTR under my belt. That's practically professional. It was at COTA.

See you have more experience on COTA than I do. Wait, that's not even fair. My jealous factor is officially through the roof on that one.

Seriously though, if you want to take the GTR on some fun roads, hit me up. As long as I can ride shotgun and take photos, I'll be a happy camper.

I'll PM you my number.

As I always thought the name GTR alone is already enough as a pick up line in general!!! Lol

It's nothing like that. I just see it as a shame that a GTR would travel all the way here to just be parked in a parking lot.

Pintsize725 · 10-28-2014, 12:47 AM

Also, has anyone heard anything about Alexander Rossi coming stateside for the race? I know Marussia isn't coming at all but I figured he'd at least make an appearance.

I know your not anything like that. Thats why I said in general with a touch of jest. Lol

But seriously a GTR is not even close to my list as a pick up car.
Honestly my Z would fair up better as a chick magnet.

Have you seen the video where Rossi drove a F1 car? Ferrari even hinted that if ever he decide to make the switch they will have a seat for him. Maybe as a test driver initially. Lol

I saw him in the Caterham during FP1 last year at the USGP. He got a standing ovation from the crowd.

There's rumors of Marussia heading down the same path, seeking a buyer, so I'm a little sad that he hasn't gotten his chance with either team.

Zoren 370 · 10-28-2014, 01:31 AM

That would be nice to see him switching to a 2 wheeler to a 4 wheeler race car.

Many F1 drives tried the switch to formula rally and motoGp but not as successful the likes of Kimi, M.Schumacker.

Saw Robert Kubica driving a Ford Focus rally car in European Rally. I think he is currently 3rd in the standings.

Another driver nice to see drive a F1 is Sebastian Leob!
He is a rare breed.
