Now that's one sweet race car! :cool:

Scott Speed is currently racing in GP2 (Formula 1's ladder series). He was Red Bull Racing's (F1 team) 3rd driver during the Canadian and US GPs.

He's a got a great shot at getting a F1 seat next year. Winning the A1 GP championship will definitely improve his chances of landing that F1 seat. It's about time an American got back into F1!
 
I still do not know if I be going to A1 GP at Brands Hatch but I keep everyone updated.
 
Hopefully my uncle will have a race meet there when the A1 guys visit. My uncle races loads at Brands so I get to go there quite a lot. And I get into the paddock so I can wander round and get up close to all the cars.
 
More good news for Scott Speed! :)

Scott Speed is set to become the first American driver employed full-time by a Formula 1 team since Michael Andretti’s 1993 stint with McLaren, when Red Bull Racing announces him as an official test driver during the upcoming Italian GP weekend.

The fact that the Californian is also running Team USA’s A1GP car in this week’s Paul Ricard test sessions, however, prompted doubts about his availability to perform double duty as an F1 tester and A1 racer during the winter months.

But RBR has confirmed this Friday that Speed’s A1 involvement is in both parties’ best interest.

"It will be good for him to be busy over the winter and get more experience," Red Bull officials told Autosport-Atlas.

The inaugural A1 season, set to kick off on September 25 at Brands Hatch in England, does not conflict with Speed’s GP2 commitments either. The Californian put Team USA on top of the timesheets on both the Wednesday and Thursday sessions at Ricard.
