Well, all the Prost cars with the exception of the JS-46 were pretty shite to begin with

And then, for pre-season testing in 2001, they tried to decieve everyone by running an underweight AP04. Of course, it was exposed as the usual crapbox come Melbourne, though strangly reliable, if I remember correctly, with the Ferrari package (when Burti wasn't busy destroying chassis!)

Well, Alesi did finish every race bar Japan, when Räikkönen took him out.

But by then, Alesi was long gone from the Prost team.

He was indeed not driving for Prost at the time of his season's only retirement, but for Jordan. That was a massive brainfade.

Stick to the 50's mate, it's what your best at

The fact that the car was so reliable has allowed Jean to perform remarkably well in a number of alternative championships

I have the season review on DVD and I've watched that race so many times the DVD has start to skip!!

Inspired by a mention of it in a post from the HWNSNBM Facts topic, here's a real-life video of the awesome Suzuki Escudo Pike's Peak :

How close to an insta-death drop does that driver go?

With the Pike's Peak course now being paved completely thanks to the environmentalists (Go Home, Sierra Club!), I fear that it'd never be as insanely epic as that.

That is indeed one crazy car and driver! But seriously, how can laying down a layer of tar be seen as environmentally friendly? It is pretty nasty stuff and can interfere with water drainage etc...

[AndreaModa]

It'll be to contain the amount of dust kicked up by the cars, and prevent what I'd imagine is a serious amount of erosion on the hillsides. It's rubbish, but makes sense because without the paving, Pikes Peak would slowly disappear if they didn't do anything about it!

If the Ferrari V12 was the best sounding engine in history, then this is a very close second.

EDIT: And here is the race in question.

Say what you want about EJ but I must say he can do a damn good voiceover.

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you there - I would say that the Matra V12 trumps that. This is what the engine sounded like in sports car guise, fitted to the Matra 670, but Matra used exactly the same engine during the early 1970's in F1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inpyXFsKLSo

...looking at the Red Baron's Ferrari parked in the gravel trap, and particularly the sidepods, I think I've worked out where Marussia got their car design for this year from.

Notice his left hand. Unless he's downshifting, his hand is barely holding the wheel. So for 70% of the lap, he's pretty much one handed. Amazing!

NASCAR's? In MY Bathurst?

NASCAR's? In MY Bathurst?

There were not nearly enough cars in that race for that to be NASCAR. Only 9 cars? Even with 4 times as many, you would not have a full field of 43...

That was the Australian version of NASCAR, but with only two paved ovals in the entire country, it was always doomed to failure.

[AndreaModa]

I assume that's not the Kevin Schwantz of motorcycling fame?

So it was on a par with ASCAR then.

[Davidellias]

I think it is, he made some really baffling career choices right after getting out of bikes

Such as driving a massively out of date Oldsmobile in a minor league stock car race.

That was the Australian version of NASCAR, but with only two paved ovals in the entire country, it was always doomed to failure.

So it was on a par with ASCAR then.

Except it used actuall ex-NASCAR's while ASCAR used an ASA or Late Model Stock Car Format
