Well,well,my secret agent infitrated into the "pit" of the team Amemiya to take some fotographs for me about their heroic battle to bring the RX-7 into a competitive stage.I must tell you that he had a hard time to find their "pit" at all.
This picture shows very well that after their disappointment at Apricot Hill (citation from
Neil :
"One win, Ah,Ah,Ah...Two wins, Ah,Ah,Ah...Three wins, Ah,Ah,Ah!etc,etc! Wankle's RULE!" ) the chief shaved the budget of the team a little so they can only rent a newly built garden shade somewhere off the map,right behind the pit lane.
In this picture you can see that they hadn't got enough money to buy the tyres.
Conceivably the engineers were forced to bring the car on their shoulders onto the track,leastwise this speculation is confirmed by a hand on the right upper corner of the picture pulling that poor miserable mechanic's hair.
One more thing is conspicuous on the picture:they hadn't got electricity neither.They tried to cool down the energy drinks by the air... Maybe it is a new additional cooling system to finally produce enough power to beat the Celicas?
Here is the last one from our secret database.Desperate engineers hidden under the engine hood trying to figure out how to install the newly attached members of the CRA (Chinese Rickshaw Association) to gain a little bit more speed from the car.
In Japan?!
Neil and
Andy,the two drivers of the RE Amemiya Asparadrink team could be afraid about their pitting strategy.
From this moment it is not enough to take some fuel while pitting but they need to pick up some water and a handful of rice to their teammates in the engine bay and we didn't even mention the tyre and clam necessities.
Maybe the Asparadrink will sort out the problem?
We will see it in the main race.
And I'm hard @ work on getting times for both classes because I had to put it off for the whole week until today.
