Oh no, Jacques is back!

Oh no, Jacques is back!

Despite the fact that the last time he was involved in setting up an F1 team, results were shall we say, scarce, Jacques Villeneuve is reported to be forming his own F1 squad ‘Villeneuve Racing’ and has lodged an entry for the… 2011 season.

Although he won’t confirm whether he will drive or not, it is safe to assume he will, as it is clear he is desperate for a drive as he (allegedly) even spoke to the scary guys at Stefan GP. Said a source close to the popular Canadian; “For sure, it will be great, he will be paid loads of money, there will be none of these arguments about who get’s the new wing or whatever and as he’ll be in charge it won’t matter if he is any good or not, plus it will be very difficult to sack him”.

A bit like those five years at BAR then….

Honda for sale only two owners, low mileage...

In these difficult times, you can get a pretty good deal when buying a new car, for example just £15,000 will get you a fully kitted out Honda Civic type S – which isn’t bad for a sporty little number that should last you forever.

However if… you are after a Japanese number to race around supermarket car parks after dark, then why not spend your fifteen grand on something a little different – maybe an ex-Jacques Villeneuve BAR Honda?

The car, on sale via auction on the 25th of July, was raced by Villeneuve in 2001 before Olivier Panis took it on and it comes with a full service history and 12 months MOT.  Unusually for Honda F1 cars it was a moderately quick, reliable little runner.

Sadly, with the car being at the top end of insurance group 20, the forecourt price of £15,000 will pale into insignificance when the broker gives you his quote…
