JPM komentarai apie JPM JG swap'a

Q. Now tell us about what happened a couple of days ago at Indianapolis.
JPM: Well, I went to drive Jeff Gordon's NASCAR and it was quite different. The thing that most impressed me, surprised me, not impressed me...I think the power's quite good, but what really surprised was the braking. Into turn one there's only markers for 150 meters and you probably have to break 100 meters before that, just to make the corner! (Laughter).

Q. So how many laps did you do?
JPM: Probably six, seven laps. It was fun. It doesn't slow down and you really have to throw it in. It's just different.

Q. Was it physical?
JPM: Not at all (laughter). No it's not. You've got power steering, like serious power steering. It's so light the steering wheel. At high speed if felt quite light. You know when you go onto the banking in the F1 into turn one of the oval it's pretty easy to be flat. With this, you have to lift. You have to put your hands somewhere down here (indicates with arms wide apart) just trying to control the car. (Laughter again).

Q. Are you going to do any more?
JPM: At the moment, no.

Q. And how did Jeff Gordon get on in the Formula One car?
JPM: I think surprisingly well. He did pretty good. I did some laps in the morning, and I think he ended up just over a second slower, which I thought was pretty good for the first time in a Formula One car. I think the track itself is not very difficult but he seemed to adapt quite well. The first time he braked, it was quite funny - you couldn't even see his helmet. It was like... (indicates moving forward, laughter).

Q. He just completely disappeared, did he?
JPM: Yeah, it was quite funny. You look at the inboard, he was turning right and his head was going in the other direction. It was fun.

Smagu ten turejo jiem but :cooool:

Nu neblogai jiems ten sekesi. Bet tai tik sou manau buvo.

O beja, "he was turning right and his head was going in the other direction".
Negi Indianapolio trasoj NASCAR lenktynes vyksta kaip ir F-1 lenktynes - pagal laikrodzio rodykle? Kazkaip visada maniau, kad pries...

Minzz> jie infielde vazinejos, o ne ovale.

Smagu. As netgi turiu spekuliaciju, kad jei Gordonas vaziuotu F-1, tikrai nebutu paskutinis ( aisku, jei nevairuotu Minardzio pvz. ) Ko gero uz Da Matta geriau pavarytu. Nors is kitos puses, jis skundesi, kad jam labai pavargo kaklas, apsukus keleta ratu su F-1 bolidu. O tai dar karta parodo koks didziulis skirtumas tarp siu automobiliu - viena vertus stabdymo - greitejimo kelias zyymiai trumpesnis, taciau tuo paciu zymiai didesnes perkrovos kunui. Antra vertus, Gordonas nera koks seilius - gana stiprus fiziskai vyras, ir vis tiek fizinio pasirengimo nepakanka. Galbut dabar ivertinsite ka reiskia vairuoti F-1 bolida.

Čia didesnis įspūdis liko Gordonui,nes niekas neprilygsta F-1 BMW varikliui;)

AF1 >>>> Tai tipo jie vaziavo ta trasa, kurioj F-1 lenktynes vyksta?
Kaip ten su NASCAR masina pavaziuot? :eek:

Jo, ta pacia

AF1> Neplanuojat , ir f-1.lt rasyt Press Conference , tik lietuviskai aishku ? :D

Oho, Frankas noretu Gordono bet pasirodo negaletu jo ipirkti.

Motor racing-Gordon is quick but too expensive for Williams
MONTREAL, June 13 (Reuters) - NASCAR's Jeff Gordon showed an impressive turn of speed in a Formula One car swap at Indianapolis this week but Williams' regular driver Juan Pablo Montoya has nothing to fear.
Team boss Frank Williams mixed praise with awe at the Canadian Grand Prix on Friday as he passed judgement on the U.S. driver's salary and performance in his car two days earlier.
"The reports I have received from those present were that he is a really, really good driver, that he was unafraid of the car," Williams said.
"We were truly -- and not for the benefit of any North Americans here -- very, very impressed. The good news is that he is very, very quick. The bad news is that we can't afford him.
"He is a winning NASCAR driver and his earnings, I am told, are out of sight ... but I should say on behalf of all my colleagues here, we would all love to have a world class U.S. driver in a grand prix team."
Williams said Gordon's lap times were one second slower than Montoya's.

Zole rules, jei ten buvo ne kasnors stipresnio :) huh :) :) :)

Minzz> keletas Nascar champo etapu vyksta normaliomis (su posukiais) trasomis, panasiai kaip F1.
