What's he doing this year, motorsport wise?
I know he's been testing a few single seaters new for this year......any actual race drives? |

I remember when the Network ABC did that here in the late '70s (or was it the early '80s - it all becomes so hazy from this far away...) and everyone laughed and giggled to see Jody Scheckter up against American Football players, etc. Yep, they all laughed, right up until he won the overall championship! So go Ralph!

Jason Queally's pretty much the only one of those who's among Britain's best in the sport really. In theory either he or Jamie Baulch would be favourite, but I'd like to see Ralph do well.

I don't think Ralph Firman will race in A1GP - because he's done a lot of the car testing.
Similar to why Renault insisted Montagny and McNish did the GP2 testing with agreements they could not race the car. |
