They're doing better in 2009 than in 2008 in my opinion. They are still a young team. Minardi were always slow but F1 miss that team. I don't tthink so. from 2003-2007(frm jordan-midland-spyker) the team remained nothing but an backmarker...with no one considering them...there always was an separate race going on between minardi & jordan...and rest of tne field lapping them...mostly jordan finished 2 laps behind the top teams.
In 2008 it became force india fRom spyker...and we saw the car,which was not developed from the start of 2006 season ...being turned into an car which can keep an ferrari on its back for 7 laps flat(remember monza,kimi 2008)..which was Not the case with spyker,midland...who used to find it difficult or rather couldn't even match the pace of a team like super aguri which was developed from scratch!...
in 2008 the gap decreased from 2sec(2007) to 1sec(2008) between top teams and force india(during qualifying).
and now in 2009...we see the gap decreased to some times less than 1 sec...!...and we also saw an double finish frm Force India @ australia with sutil 9th and fisichella 12th!
with fischella's FI not being the last car to pass the chequered flag!
its an achivement and I think they are headed towards the right direction...consistently finishing on points latest after malaysia would help us call force india an success for 2009...
Good Luck Force India!!! They're not as technically advanced as the competitors. They also use a different type of fuel/ You'd think they'd learn after the first million losses...lol I watched only a few gps so far but why is Force India always last? I always see sutil crash....
i am no f1 expert or hardcore fan, can someone explain? cuz....its india? They are not very good because they probs have the worst car and their drivers haven't had much experience. That's also why he crashes a lot to. Sutil crashing is just down to inexperience and a lack of focus on the track.
Hopes thsi helps. 4eeeeeeee Its mainly down to
1. Few team members
2. Small facilities
3. Money, not as bad as it used to be but not loaded that's for sure
4. And 1 past it and 1 very average driver.
From 1991- 2005 the team was called jordan, which had a few very competitive years, (4 wins, 2 poles, 2 fastest laps). sadly when Honda decided to back BAR only for post 2002 for reasons I'll never understand, Jordan never had time to get a competitive engine for 2003, settling for an old Ford motor, despite a lucky win( which wasn't awarded for a week and people think the Hamilton-Trulli- Australia incident is new) at Brazil, the season was poor, many sponsors ebbed away, so no money was left for development, jordan sold out to Alex Shnaider at the close of 2004 (jordan name kept for 2005) and midland F1 launched in 2006, bad car, bad drivers no development, Shnaider sold out for a large profit 2/3rds of the way through the season to Spyker, a tiny super car manufacture, who tried hard but never had any money and by end of 2007 were nearly crippled, selling out to Vijay Mallya, force India were born.
I think they are doing ok, the gap to the big teams has shrunk dramatically but many of the key elements that made Jordan successful has long since disappeared. They are a new team, first ever from india. I think it will take time for them to climb up. that's because force India is still a young & inexperienced team as compared to its competitors in terms of technology & strategical execution ....moreover its kind of expecting Adrian sutil to rise through the ranks as it happened with Alonso or raikonen in their early formative years in formula 1(...Michael schumacher was the one who said it would happen.. ).coming to fishicella,the most experienced driver in the team is a technically sound driver but not a champion driver...its the same with him as it was with Rubens barricallo in the Ferrari team.... They're a fairly new team that had to start from scratch, which makes them less advanced. The drivers aren't all that great either.window media player for my treo 650

Kyle, surely.....!! Let's see, I hope they both wreck and finish either 42nd or 43rd, and Kyle Busch is higher in points... so I say (and hope) Dale Jr. LMAO... I'll go with Shrub <--------- I got to go with Kyle , he's been running so good and Jr has had his share of problems lately . I like Jr , I was a loyle Sr fan for years even when he drove for wrangler when he was not so muched liked , but Kyle has been on a roll ,so I got to go with Kyle Kyle may have an advantage today, but Jr will be ahead tomorrow..
I think Hamlin has something for everyone tomorrow.. Guess if I had to pick one it would be Kyle
I like Jr.too-just going by the stats. I don't have a favorite at this point...but my gut says that Jr will finish ahead...I just wanted to say I think Maggie went above and beyond with all those little cheerleader rhymes for each answer...it would take me a month to come up with all those little ditties. It was nice to see Maggie honoring Jr this week, losing a bet finally and I was entertained all week by her sources.
Best of luck to both drivers this weekend! lol my neighbor is psycho for that NASCAR stuff, I asked her and she screamed "Jeff Gordon" as if he had a halo over his head. I swear I just don't get the lure of turning left so much! She sure does though! I'd like to see Jr, will be Kyle. I really hope Jr does better than Ky. Busch for once this year. After seeing the Busch race today, I think Kyle will do better than Jr. tomorrow. Jr all da way Dale Jr. I wonder.......
The driver who has won twice this year and 14 in the past 4? Or the guy who has won 3 in the past 4 years and none this year. HMMM......
I say Rowdy finishes top 3 and Junior between 10th and 17th.. busch this weekdatastage forum

Probably something made out of sponge cake, or maybe Hostess Ho-Ho's His coolest possible paint job? A.J. is awesome and I hope he gets sponsorship for the whole year. One that follows him to F-1 and out of Nascar. How about LUCAS FILMS, they could put some of the "OLD" characters around the car, Yoda, Darth Vader, Luke, Chewie, or some of the "NEW"
characters, Darth Mal, Jar Jar Bings, R2D2, C3PO any of the characters actually, they would have the rest of the year to do different paint schemes! He would be a Good Face Image for Vault Energy.
Imagine a Green Car with the Vault Logo and Yellow Lightning bolts on the side of the car. They could put him in the Jack Daniels car. I would go old school and put STP colors and sponsorship. A.J. is one of my favorite drivers, and I think the coolest sponsor would be (well, sponsor, paint scheme,number,and manufacturer) Havoline, the retro '92 Davey Allison Paint scheme, #28, and driving a Ford. That would ROCK!!!!!!!!!! Carstar repair centers ... a place where we fix all your dingswindows xp sp2 administrator

don't need one, simple as because the makers are more over concentrate on forward speed gears system and not on the backward
in simple car we always wanna drive from city roads and park in city so always we wanna reverse gear for parking nosir. their is a cart from which they can turn or tow. space and weight....keep it lighter and faster. i'm guessing F1 cars dont really need to go backwards and thats the only time they need to is the pits but the crew do that and theres not much point in having reverse. unless then spin off but they can retreat that anyways by spin the car again to get it in the direction. They do have reverse, teams always push a car into the pit box due to the cars having poor steering lock and safety. They do, Massa and Alonso used it last year in Singapore practice session when both went wide, but they took awfully long time to find it while Kimi Raikkonen couldn't find it at all and they had to push him around so he can get back to track so It is really really hard and steering the car into the garage should be harder so it is easier for the team to push it and in process attach those weird things on it.how to become a mortgage broker

It's a very good idea as Vegas is a better match for NASCAR than NYC. Both cities can offer a glitzy showbiz atmosphere and are popular tourist destinations but Vegas is a 24/7 party town with far better weather for a year-end celebration, has more room to showcase the cars & actually has a NASCAR track! "Vegas Schmegas"
I hope they serve it up with extra cheese they should have left it in ny.it's a tradition. I think its great...Las Vegas is a beautiful place :) I think it would be a good change. Shake things up a little.
Amen to the great weekend! They have changed everything else about NASCAR might as well change that too. I will not watch this until NASCAR starts racing in Mexico again. I cant believe those capitalist pigs pulled our race it will be awesone http://www.nascar.com/2009/news/headline...
I think its going to be great. Have a great weekend! That will be interesting. i think it is a great idea but NYC at Christmas time is like no other. At least they can hope the weather may be nicer! I think that is nice. I think it will be perfect once they also hold the last race of the year there. Why not do it all at the same time? I really don't like the long lag between the end of the season and the banquet anyway! Have them complete the last race there and then hold the banquet the following weekend.
Jonah's FINE N 09!!!! of course it'd be better in Vegas, at least there they have the LVMS and the NASCAR Cafe at the Sahara and NASCAR actually races there, what the he** does New York City have as far as NASCAR roots?? Good move hope it stays in Vegas Let's Hit the Casino's.... oh shoot I'm too young. I think it's PERFECT!!!!
Viva...Las Vegas.. thanks Superdave, I was unaware of this development and think it'll be great as well!!! I like Vegas They probably moved it because they don't want either of the Busch brothers to have to carry the Cups very far to get them home!
Peace! I guess it shouldn't matter to me I'll never get to go no matter where it is held, but I do like the idea of it being in Las Vegas. WHOOOOOO HOOOOOO!!! Vegas beats NYC any day any time. Gonna be great its only a 5 hr drive, or a quick flight over on Jet Blue. Now they just need to have the final race of the season there. Vegas is Nascar friendly. Gonna be great.
Go Dale Jr & Hms i think it good get a trophy and get some trophy Vegas is much better than NY. Can't think of a better place to hold it! What better town to parade all those race cars in than down the "Strip" in Vegas! It also gives the Busch brothers extra incentive to win the Cup and be presented with it in their hometown!
Go Jr.>>>>
You have a great weekend too... It would be even greater if <----------could get up on the stage! i didnt even know that thanks for tellin me.
GO REED SORENSON 43!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can never find a seagull when you need one.. I'm pissed brotherman, I went every year... sorry i didn't watch itt top conversions

edit-oops, my bad know it all
Jonah's FINE N 09!!!! One doesn't "run" anymore
One "runs" into the wall quite often
and one has never given me the "runs".........So I will go with the BBQ sauce. Casey Mears then if it is BBQ i have to choose Sweet Baby Ray's! Casey Mears I would have to pick Casey but the KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce sounds yummy. they all 3 suck. and jonah's dad, cool and the gang sang that song, not KC and the sunshine band. Kasey Kasey, I haven't even heard of that BBQ sauce. I just assumed KC=Kansas City...come on! Kansas City is about the 6th most exciting cookie cutter on the whole circuit...how can you leave that out? As in KC Masterpiece. I pick the BBQ sauce, that stuff is the best. Lol, I pick Casey Mears. I gave up on Casey already.
Never was a Kasey fan.
As for KC, I like Cattlemans myself.abbotsford airport car rental

You are right! Maybe he had ants in the pants...especially at the post-race debriefing with the stewards when the pants apparently caught on fire, but due to all that fireproof fabrics the drivers wear, nobody noticed then.
The stupid part of all this is that the so called "witholders of information" (Dave Ryan and Lewis) opted to lie thus taking a huge gamble. They had a secure 4th place finish with guaranteed 5 championship points. Not bad at all for that uncompetitive McLaren in that race. Well, the gamble was to risk the 5 points for 6 points instead (third spot instead of fourth). But the gamble meant that if they lost they would lose the 5 points, and if they won they would gain 6 points (just one more point). Considering that the last 2 championships were decided by one point, I guess I see the point. But to risk a disqualification and zero points to possibly gain one????? It is flat out stupid. he didn't let trulli pass, he got hung up on the telephone wire
you got me laughing with this one If I've learnt anything from watching the last 13 or so years of F1, it's that fire is not a good thing for getting a car to the finish...or making it faster. he's a witholder of information, not a liar..... LOL very good, (you should work for the papers) http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorspo... with hamilton its confusing if you ask me. the team says one thing but the team radio says another.inconditionnel
