Rejected from the word go?

[Klon]

You don’t build a good fan base by having an F1 “cookie cutter” driver who was born with a silver spoon in their mouth, and has been given everything in life, never had to work just to live, and has no idea what a real job is. I can’t put them down for it, it’s just the fact about F1 drivers.

This sounds like a Kay Lon rant. Lesson #27 for trying to get in to F1 in any shape: do not sound like Kay Lon.

"Multi-millionaire botherer, classified idiot, and total tosser Don Pentecost has been arrested for owning a drug ring to finance an illegitimate Formula One Team, 'Force1 USA'......"

[midgrid]

Well, the Whittington brothers (and a few others) managed it in IMSA....

[dinizintheoven]

So he's a conspiracy theorist and a bigot to boot. Does he think being more reprehensible than Bernie is going to get him into F1?

Achtung! That's so silly it might just work. Careful what you wish for.

Meanwhile, awaiting the now-inevitable entry of Mr Pentecost into F1, I can suggest for him an absolutely perfect PR agent.

The 2013 Budget is based on being fully funded by August 1, 2012.

Anyone noticed we're a few weeks away from his "deadline" for the 2013 budget.

I would suggest someone with some sort of corporate type e-mail address to contact him saying: "I'm interested in your project, can you send me a sponsorship proposal, brochure and car/driver suit/trailer/hospitality livery?

[Ataxia]

This is getting sillier by the minute. It's now clear that he's a bible-bashing, conspiracy-loving, homosexual-hating mentalist with a penchant for medical marijuana. I think he's priced most investors out other than those from the Deep South.

I'd agree that this is a byproduct of smoking too much weed, it makes you do crazy things.. I mean, it's responsible for my dumbass username. Not touched the stuff for absolutely ages now, and I want to keep it that way.

Or we can just buy one - .co.uk domains cost like £2.50. So you could create something like LifeInternational.co.uk and pretend it's a British-based multinational compay that specialises in "marketing products" - i.e. spam. And let's just say, we're lagging behind our rivals in the US market and need a way to publicise our services more effectively both in the US and worldwide...

Surely he's delusional enough to buy that? Right?

You haven't? Yeah, it's an actual thing. The director Kevin Smith is a medical cannabis user, I think it's relatively common.

Of course, if you are a medical cannabis user, chances are you're not fit enough to race in Formula 1!

There is a certain phrase that currently appears at Don's blog, that is: Solve the World’s Energy and Environmental Problems and Fund an American F1 Team at the same time.

This is going more disgusting by day, this makes Moneytron more trustful. Also, this thread needs Mr. Faustus badly.

What IS his energy solution? It's not got a value of $100bn, it's probably around the value of a funsize Milky Way bar...

The red car and the blue car had a race, sorry couldn't resist.

Sounds like the 1997 F1 season, except the red car in 1997 hit everything he saw.

All the references to chocolate being in any way not bad for you, basically. You know, the usual nanny state type nonsense.

It wasn't an 80s advert though I think, early 90s IIRC - they released the song as a single for Xmas 1991 which is why I think that!

Hello!

[Faustus]

If you could solve the world's energy and environmental problems and make a fortune out of it, what the bathplug would you be waiting for? A more convenient time?

I would dearly love to see an American Formula 1 team and see Formula 1 become popular in the States, but this is not it. USF1 was a massive disappointment and I know a couple of people that were employed by USF1 and were badly burned in the whole fiasco.
It is unlikely that anyone that isn't involved in motorsport manufacturing or has close links with an existing racing car manufacturer like Dallara, Mygale, Riley & Scott or one of the bigger NASCAR teams will have the expertise, let alone the money, to get involved in Formula 1. Look what happened with the 13th team slot. No credible projects so the slot remains empty and probably will be for the foreseable future.
The way to break into Formula 1 is to buy one of the existing teams, like Marussia, Force India, Toro Rosso or better yet, Team Enstone. (Not HRT) And the rest are unlikely to consider offers.

[Ataxia]

I sent a partially irate comment.

Mainly because he contradicts himself so much in that he describes F1 drivers as having been born with silver spoons in their mouths, yet he's asking for a significant handout from various American business owners and celebrities. I provided him with the story of how Jordan Grand Prix began, including an anecdote from his F3 days where he used parts on his cars that other teams had just thrown away.

I hope he reads it and replies

He kinda replied, he put this out on the same page I produced a lengthy tirade upon.

To all the morons that comment on my posting titles like this about Forbes Billionaire lists POSSIBLY being investors in Formula 1… use your common-sense (if you have any)…realize that anyone can possibly do anything, especially if they become aware of the need.I am trying to attract only the person mentioned, in this case, Christy Walton. Anyone else that happens to view this material, if your name is not Christy Walton, then it is none of your concern.

This blog is meant for SERIOUS INVESTORS ONLY…I don’t need t hear from critics, drivers from other motorsports, etc.etc…It is meant to attract ONLY a singe investor or small group on investors, and that’s it…This is NOT a forum. I don’t need to hear from other people

So...yeah.

[AndreaModa]

Haha oh dear, this guy's a laugh a minute!

Sadly though he didn't seem to like my F1 car plans I drew for him! Deleted them the cheeky bugger!

[fjackdaw]

That's probably also a reply to me saying that Christy Walton might attempt legal action if he posts headlines suggesting she already has invested.

[fjackdaw]

It's quite sweet that, despite his defensiveness, he has actually now changed the headline to include the word "possibly". Bless.

Money matters, sir - hence why Captain Hammer says that the energy thing looks like a scam (look at page 1).

I look forward to finding out what Mr Pentecost has to say about my rant, where I told him to stop calling F1 drivers spoilt, petulant rich boys.

[pasta_maldonado]

Just posted this rant on his website:

Mr Pentecost, can I point out what I feel to be a few minor errors in your logic.

Firsly, you beleive that rich people will just stumble upon your 'blog' and decide to give you a billion dollars. Life doesn't work that way, I regret to inform you. Have you heard of the saying, 'time and tide wait for no man'? Billionaires will not fund you the min ute they see your name. You actually have to get off your arse and talk to people in the industry, get contacts, etc.

I place blog in inverted commas because all that is ever posted here is the same material copy and pasted onto several different 'articles' that feature rich people's name, accompanied by pictures of BMW Sauber to make it appear like you know what you are doing. You don't.

Secondly, you say you are the best driver in the world, and we can't disprove you because we don't know you. Using that logic, does it mean we can't prove that Hitler was a bad man because we never met him?

Third of all, you say you have 30 off road finishes and that 27 of them were wins. Now, can you please tell me why this proves you can be a Formula One world champion? The two are vastly different disciplines which require totally different skills to master. Yes, you may have won 27 times, but who was that against? Sebastian Vettel? Lewis Hamilton?Dario Franchitti? Sebastian Loeb? Sebastion Ogier? Miko Hirvonen? Coming home in front of 30 average joe's and delusional old fools like yourself isn't hard in off-road racing, especially with high rates of attrition, time lost due to break-downs, etc.

You have never driven any high-performance car or single-seater. You have never driven with slick tyres. You claimed to be 'ripped', but that stinks of bullshit more than a cow's arse. How, pray tell, do you expect to be able to keep control of a Formula One car, without traction control, let alone make it go fast?

You also say you have the answer to the world's energy problems, but the only reason it does not exist is because you cannot afford to pay for a patent. You claim it will make a 100 billion dollars. If this is the case, SIMPLE logic indicates that you take out a loan, patent it, then manufacture it, and when the supposed huge profit comes in, you pay it back. Simple. But obviously too complicated for a man like you to understand.

Posting pictures of established F1 teams doesn't make you look an expert. Linking to Mark Webber's twitter of whatever does not make you the man to know. Putting every single word associated with motorsport into the tags section does not make you seem professional. Rabbling on about an 'energy solution' that shouts "SCAM!" louder than a megaphone does not make you beleivable. It just makes you look like the delusional man you are who knows NOTHING, i mean NOTHING about the REAL world of Formula One.

F1 drivers have years and years and years and years of experience in lower-formulae before they get considered for an F1 drive, let alone an actual seat. What makes you think that you can waltz into F1 with little more than 30 off road races, a head the size of the Empire State Building, and all the F1 experience of a Russian priest?

If your farciful team were ever allowed into F1, which it never will, you'd be as slow as Andrea Moda and as trust-worthy as the Shannon group. Oh wait, you don't know who they are. That's because all you know about F1 is what the teams are called. Look those things up on Google. If you can use the internet without postiung stupid, far-fetched, totally bullshit articles about billionaires funding your stupid little F1 'team', or ranting about how ripped and talented you are, that is. We all know you're about as talented as Gaston Mazzacane. Oh wait, even he can drive faster than you. I doubt you've even watched an F1 race.

I bet you he'll maintain that he will be a champion, and repeat his mantra further. But you are quite correct about all of this.

There's this kid at my college (well, ex-college...), he was in the year below me and one of the biggest loners you'll ever meet. He's got a website (which I can't seem to find) where he claims to be worth £4bn or something stupid like that, and claims to have invented string theory and various other things. I'd imagine this kid and ol' Don would get on like a house on fire. He was bathplugging weird too...

[dinizintheoven]

Has anyone ever found the original 1980s version of that advert without the wording changed?

What was changed?

"He's looking for chocolate treats, fluffy and light, 'cos he know they won't spoil his appetite..." (followed by Blue saying "Mmm Mmm Mmm!" in a higher-pitched voice than the current version). I'm also convinced Blue was "Smart old blue" in the original. The wording has presumably been changed now because, back then, Milky Way's advertising slogan was "the sweet you can eat between meals without ruining your appetite", and that all flashed up on the board at the end of the race. That can't happen now, all we get is four words, because, to quote Spud Gun: "it doesn't take so long to read".

Murray Walker, I want your old job, not the one involving motorsport.
