How can I work for BMW Motorsport in the future?
Sunday, January 24th, 2010Hi guys, I’m 15 years old and I really want to work for BMW or BMW Motorsport in the future. Currently I’m thinking of going to UTI for A.D.I (Auto, Diesel and Industrial) and I’m hoping to then transfer into the BMW STEP program. I’m wondering how one can work for the BMW Motorsport team.

Kyle Busch says F1 drivers are the best in the world. How does that make you guys feel?
Saturday, December 26th, 2009Kyle Busch has talked about one day driving a Formula One car.
Today at Atlanta Motor Speedway he discussed what it is about F1 that appeals to him.
“I think the part of F1 that appeals to me the most is just the worldwide exposure,” he said. Being able to race in different parts of the world like Monaco, Silverstone … and just going around to all the different areas and seeing what it’s all about.”
“It would be fun to just go do that stuff and see just exactly how good you are against the best in the world. As far as racing talent that’s over there — I wish that (Michael) Schumacher was still around to get a chance to race against him, but Lewis Hamilton seems to have found his stride and (Felipe) Massa has also done a great job.”
Busch said he talked to Jeff Gordon about his off-season excursion to Brazil to race go-karts against the best drivers in the world.
“He said those guys are just outrageous and they are so good and so good at being able to finesse a car and make it do what they want it to do,” he said. “Here, we try to make the car do what we want it to do, but basically we’re just the ones at its mercy.”
Just wondering that since NASCAR is probably going to lose one of its biggest stars to Formula 1 in the near future how all of you guys feel? Kyle said he wants to race against THE BEST IN THE WORLD and obviously thats in F1. Thats quite a snub on his own racing series isnt it?
Jeff Gordon seems to be pretty impressed by what they are able to do in terms of car control as well.

Why did Toyota skip the meetings regarding the new 2011 engine specs?
Friday, December 25th, 2009For once - is this a manufacturer telling the actual TRUTH about their racing programs?
===================================================
Before leaving Lee White (TRD’s group vice-president and general manager) to allow him to continue TRD’s relentless effort in NASCAR, I (Gordon Kirby) asked his opinion about IndyCar’s 2011 rules debate.
“Rod Campbell called me and they wanted me to come,” White related. “We had a board meeting in California when they scheduled their first meeting, so I couldn’t go. Then they decided they just wanted anybody wearing a Toyota shirt. So to me, at that point in time, hopefully without being too critical, this wasn’t about really having a discussion. It was about demonstrating that they had interest from the manufacturers.”
White says that if TRD tried to sell Toyota Motor Sales on entering NASCAR in today’s economic climate it would be a difficult if not impossible sale to make. He says that means Indy car racing is completely off Toyota’s map.
“To be honest, we have serious challenges budget-wise,” White said. “The concept of going back to Indy, or to open-wheel racing, given those challenges and the fact that we haven’t got ourselves to the level we want in NASCAR yet, I’d be a fool to even propose it to the company. So I wasn’t going to go and sit and listen to yet another meeting because I do enough of that, and I wasn’t about to send somebody else just to take notes. So we did not go.
“I asked (former Ford Racing boss) Dan Davis before he retired if he was going and he said, ‘Heck, no!’ And I stopped somebody from Chevrolet and asked if they were going and they said, ‘No. Why would we do that?’.”
White says he took the opportunity to suggest his own solution to Indy car racing’s debate about its 2011 formula.
“I did give Rod my opinion. I told him to go get a 1994 Lola or Reynard and put a Cosworth engine in it and go racing. Then you would have something that sounds great, runs great, looks great and puts on a great show, and everybody who loved them will jump at the chance to come and watch because there’s still a lot of people out there who remember how great those cars were. Use that as a kind of retro starting point and build it from there. But I don’t think they listened.”
===================================================
Until I read this article - I never liked Toyota that much. But they have become one of my FAVORITE manufacturers based on that last paragraph alone.
Just to quote that one more time:
“I told him to go get a 1994 Lola or Reynard and put a Cosworth engine in it and go racing. Then you would have something that sounds great, runs great, looks great and puts on a great show, and everybody who loved them will jump at the chance to come and watch because there’s still a lot of people out there who remember how great those cars were.”
