I would say that is a likely scenario.

I thought Ryan Dalziel was Jimmy's replacement.

Kicking-back · 25 Jul 2005, 05:12 (Ref:1362516)

He is.

Liz · 25 Jul 2005, 11:24 (Ref:1362825)

At present.

luke · 25 Jul 2005, 11:54 (Ref:1362867)

Originally Michael Valiente was the man to replace Vasser at PKV?

Kicking-back · 25 Jul 2005, 12:12 (Ref:1362887)

I'm not sure there's ever been any link between Valiente and PKV

extreme · 25 Jul 2005, 19:46 (Ref:1363193)

if Dalziel wasnt good enought to stay at coyne for more than one race then why would PKV be intrested in bringing him on for a season. Im thinking that they have the money to put towards hiring a driver with some talent.

I've rarely read anything as ill-informed.

Dalziel's departure from Coyne had little to do with ability.

He is a very talented driver who would do a good job in ChampCar.

Dalziel is much better than Bremer IMO.

Kicking-back · 25 Jul 2005, 20:40 (Ref:1363234)

I agree

Snrub · 26 Jul 2005, 16:17 (Ref:1363885)

I don't think it's that easy to say things like that. While Bremer was certainly on a better team in HVM, his debut performance surpassed Dalziel's. On the other hand we all know that Dalziel did better in Atlantics. Also, I may be incorrect but I believe that Bremer did not run every race in Atlantics last year which I would think gives us an indication of the level of his equipment, etc.

jjspierx · 26 Jul 2005, 21:14 (Ref:1364114)

I'm pretty sure Bremer was in all the Atlantic races last year, I think he switched teams mideason though. Dalziel did 2 full years in Atlantics.

rustyfan · 27 Jul 2005, 09:21 (Ref:1364461)

Since I don't get any coverage of the Toyota Atlantics races my lasting impression of Legge is her doing a backflip at Rockingham in her Formula 3(?) car a few years back.

I hope she does eventually get a ride in Champ Car though, and her strategy seems sound.

Forum = CCWS

Jordi · 27 Jul 2005, 22:48 (Ref:1365116)

I think Vasser can race for a few more years, he's still got it

D.R.T. · 28 Jul 2005, 03:44 (Ref:1365212)

I love Jimmy, enjoyed watching him for many years but I think Ryan deserves his shot for 2006.

Amar7605 · 28 Jul 2005, 05:27 (Ref:1365244)

I went on the CC website and they had a Katherine Legge Driver Diary.

Is it me, or wasn't Katherine a blonde? Because on the website photo she is a brunette, with a kinda-sorta Danica style.

God I hope CC isn't making her to be the next Danica or something.

Mackmot · 28 Jul 2005, 08:00 (Ref:1365313)

Katherine has never been blonde in the time Ive known her.

BSchneiderFan · 28 Jul 2005, 13:37 (Ref:1365594)

It never made Jacques Villeneuve any faster, either.

racerkeke · 28 Jul 2005, 14:22 (Ref:1365640)

Having seen Katherine in some non-racing moments (in Portland, the Atlantics staged directly behind us at T12) I can say if CC hoped to make her into the "next Danica" they'll have a fight on their hands. Danica's not the be-all and end-all of female racers, and I bet Katherine knows it.

jjspierx · 28 Jul 2005, 20:53 (Ref:1366018)

Danica is a great driver, so is Katherine, they can't really be compared as they've never raced head to head. Both of them have better oppurtunities than most women get. Danica having Rahal take her in and completely fund her in a VERY competitive ride in both Atlantics and IRL. Katherine having Kalkhoven fund her ride in Atlantics. Both of them were underfunded and running minimal budgets in Europe in years past, and more recently Katherine in Fran-Am in America. I'm pretty sure they would run at a similar level of competiveness in the same series with equally competitive teams.

How well do you know her? Any comments on her in general? eg. It's been said a few times that after Long Beach she set her sights very high and started to get really down. Apparently she only got to grips with that recently. From the statements she was making, etc. earlier I suspected that was the case. Don't go nuts with this statement (not intending to offend), but generally women are more sensative and nicer people and I got the impression that she took things in a way that many other women might.

Snrub,

This was a response to a picture that I saw of Katherine. A recent picture showed her as a brunette. I thought that at one time I saw a picture of her as a blonde, thinking that she changed her hair color to look like Danica.

Mackmot and I were commenting on hair color. We were not making fun of intelligence. That's all.

fantasytoca · 31 Jul 2005, 20:23 (Ref:1368464)

Another win for Katherine today in San Jose.

No more details yet as no race report on the Toyota Atlantics website.

Snrub · 31 Jul 2005, 23:32 (Ref:1368633)

Amar7605, I know that. I was intending on talking about stuff other than hair color because I thought it would be interesting to hear about her.

Daily said that he throught San Jose was her most impressive performance to date. I'll be interested to see the race.
