What has GM purchasing got to you guys too? Are they cutting back on your gas budget?

GM is on the right track with racing. They need to begin taking a frontal step towards the exhibition of thier engineering and management tactics within the Formula One racing league. It would be an excellent platform to establish Caddy V series beyond the showroom environment. C’mon Lutz show em what GM”s got!

To David Perri from above:
Formula One would not showcase any street driven car. Those “Cars” are little more than million dollar go-karts with engines that have no hope of ever finding their way into a production car. In a way, it’s the extreme opposite end of racing than Nascar. Only there’s rarely any real racing in F1. Occasioanlly someone will attempt to make a pass, otherwise it’s mainly a parade of mind bogglingly expensive racing vehicles that have almost no bearing on what you and I drive. Nascar is far less expensive to compete in, and in the US gives far more public exposure.
As for the production based cars, the Caddilac CTS-V is still doing well in American road racing, though those series do tend to get less coverage than Nascar.
