Sounds good - maybe we need a Silly Season thread for all the rumours and new developments going on?

I have notice that whenever a team start running a other car they normally stuggle with the extra pressure of that 2nd or even third car.Dont know if it a good idea or not.

Run KL in CCWS or run the two Mansell's in Atlantic? I know what I'd rather do! |

Its nice that ChampCar has its own version of Ms Patrick.... but I would doubt that Ms Legge would be on the same page as Mr Power, and whoever gets the 2nd seat there next season. Getting a KK-assisted engine package for the 3rd car will more than likely not cover the operating costs either.... |

I'm not suggesting that KL is a superstar - being brutally honest, who in CCWS is?? What do you mean by Champ Car having it's own version of Ms Patrick? A woman? Well spotted... |

The hype around Ms Legge, primarily because she is of the fairer gender, does not translate to results... ala the other lady in the IRL |

I just thought this was going down the 'she's crap cos she's a woman' route again, which unfortunately is the attitude many seem to adopt and frankly makes me angry. Obviously this was not where you were going with this particular argument. I still think she deserves a chance though. Last edited by nycuk; 22 Oct 2007 at 16:26. |

Yep, give her a chance I say. She's still the only girl I know who can heel'n'toe and four wheel drift a Leyland Daf minibus to good effect.
And she still holds the record for the fastest thing through the chicane at Rockingham. All be it upside down and backwards... |

Kalkhoven saw the effect that Danica had in the IRL and he wanted some for himself so he hired Legge Don't forget, KK employed Legge, not another champ car owner My opinion of her is quite low, she's never been able to match her teammates and her results have been poor, this season has been a complete write off KK is still her manager and paying her wages and keeping her in a DC car but he even commented after she caused a multiple car crash at one race that he was fed up I don't see much of a future for her |

I think with good coaching and a good well enginneered car at Walker she has the potential to do well. |

I think Legge with the tution of Walker could vastly improve on her 2007 performances. By how much she can improve seems to be the question. Legge won in Atlantics, despite it being without the most impressive of fields it still showed she has talent.
As mountainstar points out, Legge was signed up at the 2004 to Kalkoven for Atlantics, prior to the Ms Patrick hitting top 'media' form in the US |

And she was rushed into champ car too early by Kalkhoven to compete with Danicamania She should have been given more time in atlantics, it was a bad mistake |

Yeah, Legge wasn't exactly made into a big thing by Champcar. She always seemed to be regarded just as one of the drivers to me?

Cos she's English - and we won't even back a driver unless they're winning, else we'll just pick on them too (as a media led generalisation that is).

she's been fairly useless in champ car
but, KK keeps her in a seat so she has some kind of future |

a pom in an Aussie car dosn't seem right, Legge hasn't done alot in CC, if Walker/Gore are going to give a chick a go whats wrong with Leanne Tander she has done good in F3 (just missing the tittle) she is on a short list of female drivers for Audi in DTM along with Legge and best of all she is Aussie.

Why hire someone who's only feat is not winning the Australian F3 title? She may be on Audi's shortlist, but so was Emma Kimiläinen.

no he is French and Tags was Canadian, but wouldn't it be better to have more Aussies than forigners, not that i have any thing against Legge it's just a sugestions no need for the rolleyes.

There was an article in Australasian Motorsport News a few weeks ago, wondering if Mr Gore's Team Australia equipe would be running in 2008... because they missed the first official test day...
Of interest in local (Australian) motorsport happenings, is that the WPS/Team Australia team currently has its licences up for sale, and presumably looking to change direction (close down??) Perhaps the article about the ChampCar thing wasnt far wrong?? |
