Led ZeppF1 · 24 Oct 2003, 07:31 (Ref:761593)

Juan Pablo and Rubens will racing again next month..... in kart.

Rubens will compete in the Granja Viano 500 Mile race in Brazil, while Monti will participate in a charity race in Colombia.

I'd heard about the Colombian one. I think a few CART drivers are entering too. I thought Rubens was too, but I may be mistaken.

Led ZeppF1 · 24 Oct 2003, 08:54 (Ref:761663)

Yes, I also thought Rubens will join Montoya in that Colombian's charity race.

I had read its in an article (or news?) long time ago.

Red · 24 Oct 2003, 09:33 (Ref:761697)

I think that Rubens races in Granja Viano every year.

racefanatic · 24 Oct 2003, 13:43 (Ref:761929)

Yeah, doesn't he always do it with Tony Kanaan? Didn't they win last year and the year before? Or maybe that was something else. Sounds like fun though!

b.luther · 24 Oct 2003, 17:47 (Ref:762103)

What engines do they use on the karts in the granja viano race?

I think your right, didn't he win it last year with Felipe Massa and Tony Kanaan as team-mates?

Red · 25 Oct 2003, 06:31 (Ref:762473)

Can't remember the result; I think they didn't win though; I mean anything besides the fun.

Well, Kimi had 'overtake' Juan and Rubenn to having fun.

Yesterday the young flying Finnn joined the Kerpen karting circuit in Germany.

Will Michael being doing any (competitive) karting this winter. After his hols?

Red · 26 Oct 2003, 09:55 (Ref:763428)

Have no idea, but he'll "race" against and Eurofighter in December..

**Adam43** · 26 Oct 2003, 10:23 (Ref:763446)

I think he'll win. It is more unreliable than a BMW engine!

Red · 26 Oct 2003, 11:02 (Ref:763487)

He'll win anyway, it's 1000 meters race, from stand still.

PS: Wonder if 1 engine per weekend rule applies for that race.

**Adam43** · 26 Oct 2003, 11:26 (Ref:763509)

I wonder in which of the two the driver/pilot will have to do less.

Battle of the electronics!

Red · 26 Oct 2003, 11:39 (Ref:763519)

Heh, if they have to steer is the driver (not the pilot) who'll win the race. If they don't, (which is our case) is the engine combined with the mass of the car/plane.

Red · 26 Oct 2003, 11:48 (Ref:763529)

Hmm.... yeah, kinda, but in this years quals "mass" didn't count. (too much anyway) Ahh, I see, this year's qual format was exciting!

**Adam43** · 26 Oct 2003, 11:50 (Ref:763530)

Red · 26 Oct 2003, 12:06 (Ref:763540)

Two engines Honda 4 stroke, 5.5hp each (or 6.5???)

Juan Pablo drive a racing truck in Brazil:

DriverT · 28 Oct 2003, 18:27 (Ref:766014)

Is that Montoya? He seems to have a beard???

Led ZeppF1 · 10 Nov 2003, 03:56 (Ref:778396)

Both Rubens and Juan Pablo was out of luck at seventh Granja Viana 500 mile, the biggest endurance kart race in Brazil.

Rubens and his team finished in thirteenth after suffering engine problems. While Montoya and his gang finished seventeenth.
