Andrea Moda in CART?

Postby Cynon » 02 Jul 2010, 15:43

I'm watching the 1993 Michigan 500 again, and I saw these on the starting grid slides, towards the back of the field...

Look at that sponsor. Andrea Moda. Hmmm... :?

By the way, the pole speed was Mario Andretti with 234.275 MPH.

Also, Mirrorwatcher Sans Par Olivier Grouillard started next to David Kudrave on the grid, and David Kudrave was so bad he couldn't hack it in the IRL when it was formed... and Jeff Wood constantly hopped from bad car to bad car...

:shock: Andrea Montermini unrejectified himself in CART driving for Andrea Moda?!?!

Yes, he finished 4th at the Detroit Grand Prix. Crazy stuff.

He kind of lucked into that 4th due to all the BS penalties and driver failure. But an unrejectification is an unrejectification...

I'm sure allegations of tax fraud are looked upon favorably in Zimbabwe if Mugabe gets his share.

The car in front is a Stefan.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking...?

The ZHF1 series...the Zimbabwean Historic F1 series made up entirely of Andrea Moda chassis! (And maybe some old Coloni, Life, Simtek, etc. chassis to make up the numbers too).

Andrea Montermini driving for Andrea Moda would be fitting, he drove for pretty much every other shite team in the 90's Simtek, Pacific, Forti and he was tester at Mastercard Lola.

A bit OT... but I do think Andrea (Montermini) could've made it if he had a chance for a bit better team. I even think he was a tester for Tyrell in 98... just to make everything prove bad :P

I think he could have made it into the midfield. Not sure if that's what you mean or not.

By the way, in the 1993 Loudon race, David Kudrave backed the #42 car into the wall, and we all got a nice look at it...

Andrea Moda. Lola. Chevrolet. David Kudrave. A nice mix of rejectdom. I do dig that helmet design though...

That was what I meant yes. Not a winner, but a point-scorer with some luck.
