Saw this on Speed last night in regards to the Formula BMW racing. A system that lets young drivers move into the early stages of Forumal 1 racing.
The driver's name was Graghm Rahal. Any realtion to Bobby Rahal???
John, is this your race team???

As far as I know the french word vitesse translates into english as "speed" so Vitesse Racing= Speed Racing and Vitesse Farm Racing=Speed Farm Racing.
I saw the open wheeled Formula BMW series live at Montreal and Indy, both North American F1 GP's as support races to the F1 main event. Bobby Rahal's son *was* indeed racing at both as was Juan Pablo Montoya's younger brother.
He wasn't fairing too well and didn't look all that impresive.
Matt Jaskol ran upfront at both event best I can remember.
It's believed that the Red Bull sponsored cars in the BMW series (2) are a push to find an American F1 pilot as part of the well advertised Red Bull agenda run by Danny Sullivan to do just that.
Interestingly enough......Red Bull just recently purchased the now defunct Jaguar/Ford F1 team......
Soooooo we may just see a qualified American driver soon in F1 and possibly one day have OUR flag hoisted atop the podium OUR national anthem played......

Ok, gotcha.
Yea, they mentioned that on the show that the focus is to get some Americans up to par to be F1 drivers.
