Thanks Anstor

Here's another article

Maybe you or abf1 could change the name of this thread to City Challenge GT Race Baku as we already have a Jacques Villeneuve thread.

As long as he makes some money and has fun, I don't care what JV drives.

I think by concentrating on Nascar, JV gave up other opportunities. Even if JV had won 3 Mtl Nationwide races, I don't think he would've got a ride in Nascar. They look after their own and I think they realize his talent and maybe feel threatened. His only hope was to get Canadian sponsorship and that didn't happen. I hope Jacques is enjoying his life and is looking forward to the next baby Villeneuve.

The first day of practice at the Baku street circuit provided the drivers with an opportunity to familiarise themselves with the temporary track. “Quite impressive what has been achieved here,” said ex-Formula 1 driver Jos Verstappen, who had his first experience of driving a GT3 car. However, spirits within the team were less upbeat after Jacques Villeneuve had an accident : Mad

with the car in second free practice. “I wasn’t even going that fast, but I spun and hit the tyre barriers,” the Canadian ex- Formula 1 World Champion and Indy 500 winner commented. Vita4One team owner Michael Bartels couldn’t confirm rumours that the car was damaged beyond immediate repair. “We fear that the chassis is bent. Of course, we will try whatever we can do to get the car going again, but if there is the slightest risk, we will not do it. Safety is our utmost concern,” said the German. affraid
