FWIW, I saw an Indy 500 preview in which Helio Castrenevas (sp?) was driving around Miami in what appeared to be his own black s2000.

Anyone else see it?

Whole bunch of pics here.

LOL! This is funny especially in light of the fact that Ashley Judd was on Car Talk a couple of months ago complaining that Dario 1) never lets her drive, and 2) he drives very slow on public roads (not what'd expect from a professional speed demon).

Yes, there were a couple of threads on it.

His feet were on the seat and centre console, but as he was wereing driving boots it wasn't a problem. He was very concerned about where he put his feet and if it was OK. A very nice guy. We spoke about his background and the pressures of the Indy circuit and just the usual stuff.

BTW, apparently he usually doesn't have an Indy girl with him in the car but prefers to supply his own: Ashley. I was disappointed she wasn't there.

It's open to members of the HSCC.

I drove up over two days and stopped in Coffs Harbour. Most of the first day the roof was up because it was raining. On the way back I drove the whole way, including taking some long cuts through Thunderbolts Way, with the roof off in about 13 hours. Weather was beautiful but I slept well that night.

IMHO

I must say the couple has great taste!

This just proves that -

If you can afford to drive anything, and you know how a race car should feel, what do you drive?

That's right folks an S2000!
