verstappen probeert ASCAR

Quote:
Minardi driver Jos Verstappen will have his first experience of stock car driving tomorrow (Saturday), when he steps behind the wheel of a Days of Thunder ASCAR at Rockingham Motor Speedway.

The Dutchman will have a run in a Team West-Tec Chevrolet on the 1.5-mile oval circuit. Verstappen will receive some help from ASCAR regular Michael Vergers, who will help his countryman get acclimatised to the 500bhp machine during a test session today.

"It will be a new experience for me to drive a race car that has the wheels covered and also has a very large steering wheel," said Verstappen. "I have not been on an oval before, although I have watched races on television, and I have a feeling those concrete walls are going to look pretty close when you're out there. It is going to be a very different driving experience from my normal Minardi F1 car, but that's half the fun."

The ASCAR won't be the first new machine that Verstappen will have a run in next week. He is also due to drive the 2002 Arrows A23 chassis in a back-to-back test with Minardi's current PS03 machine in a comparative test at Monza.

Dat cliché van verstappen staat in het grind kan in ieder geval al niet op een ovaal.

Citaat Jos Verstappen:
Quote:
“I really enjoyed it,” he said. “It’s a lot heavier than my Minardi F1 car. Whereas I can drive the F1 car quite easily, with this car I have to build up the speed. It’s hard, you sit quite far back in the cockpit and visibility is less than in my F1 car but it was quite a good run. It’s something new and it takes time to get used to it.”


Citaat Nicolas Kiesa

“It was great fun. I didn’t get out of third gear and these guys never use anything but fourth. It was quite an experience.”
Last but not least: Minardi-eigenaar Paul Stoddart aan het stuur van een Minardi PS01. Het ritje ging niet helemaal kreukloos voorbij (kun je hier lezen: http://www.f1racing.nl/news.php?ID=62054)
