Big Name drivers

[Racingdude009]

Any teams got big name drivers in their cars ?

A friend of mine former F1 driver might be available to drive if the deal is right.

Is this for the 24hr or the normal Britcar races? I cant see any current team wanting to or needing to pay for the services of an ex F1 driver. When were they racing in F1?

[Ahonen]

Could the driver be Mike Wilds, who already competes in Britcar in a BMW?

[Simon Leith]

For sure, Mike is looking for a drive! I would have him in my car for the 24 hr in a flash but he doesn't have budget. With his experience and speed he has got to be an asset to a team without budget issues....!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Just because you're a 'big name' doesn't make you quick...

This is a sport in which talent gets you about 2% of the way and money the other 98% - don't kid yourself if you think differently...

Tim, agreed about money versus talent but how many F1 drivers (ex or present) do you think you could beat?

I know the answer for me......zero!!! You just dont get into F1 unless you are GOOD.

Now, if you ask the same question about touring car drivers you might get a different answer..............!!

Cheers,

Richard.

I'm always available. And anyone who says I'm cheap - outside with your handbag now!

Having big name drivers in any championship doesn't mean that it's any better.

A few years back, the Stock Cars at Rockingham had Plato, and others, on mega money contracts, but because the average British driver doesn't have the b*lls to drive around that circuit, it hasn't flourished how it should.

We have once again resisted the temptation to draw upon the salaried drivers this year favouring, as usual, a bunch of no hopers, although someone told me Stephane Ortelli and Laurent Aiello are not plumbers, as they told me when they handed over their cheques to drive for us. I can confirm I will be the only driver with modeling experience in the team.

I am poor ! Got no money at al1 !!

We have Gareth Howell in our team. He has been racing a Seat for Motorbase in BTCC this year and won a couple of races last year with Halfords. Not sure if you mob would class him as a big name but he a wicked bloke so we should have a good time.
