    Economically, it was a great move. Metaphysically, and spiritually, and enthusiastically (), it was not.

    But remember that by then Porsche was already profitable. As CAR said, proof that making money is more important than making cars.

    Unfortunately that is the view that Porsche has taken.

    I saw that accident... looked like a hard hit, and then to get yanked out of the passenger side door? I hope he can recover in good shape, and continue racing sooner than later.

    Update on Thomas Enge...

    Quote Originally Posted by Grandprix.com
    More details have emerged about Tomas Enge's injuries from his accident on Saturday night at St Petersburg in Florida. The Czech former F1 driver suffered no burns, nor head injuries but has a badly broken elbow, a series of cracked ribs and a partially collapsed lung. He may also have broken his ankle but more tests are needed to be certain of that as doctors were concentrating on the injuries to his upper body.

    The elbow injury will require reconstructive surgery as the joint is badly damaged and there must therefore be questions about Tomas's future in racing as serious arm injuries have ended many careers in the past. It is however too early to make any predictions about the future.

    The Petersen/White Lightning team reports that Tomas is in good spirits. He is expected to stay in Florida for several more days before being transferred to a hospital nearer his home in Indianapolis.
    Does anyone know how the accident actually happened? The only footage I've seen is of him slamming into the wall, it didn't actually show how he lost control in the first place.

    Here is a clip of the crash:

    It looks pretty weird.
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    Yeah it's unlikely he'll race again this season, if he'll ever race again. Especially that fractured elbow is a problem.
