Toyota engine which was used for TF105 was competitive and fast ok! they probable gave the jordans a modified version of engine on TF104 which sucked in terms of power output and speed! i didn't say that they weren't reliable...i had said that they r not fast enough! even the minardis were able to catch the jordans!!!!!! TATA and SPEED, JKTYRE were sponsors of NK in 2003-04 too! they couldn't approve such huge sponsorship in such short time. ofcourse launching their cars in other countries in not the only reason they are sponsoring NK! the basic reson y companies give money to such events is for their OWN publicity!!! there is no other reason! they r sponsoring him cause they see their own profit in future by sponsoring NK now! ofcourse in INDIA everybody knows the TATAs! but in other countries ppl dont know them!

But then as for this time, i am by no way sure what the amount is but seeing last time i suspect it might have been Rs 30 crores rather than $ 30 million but i am by no means sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mars99 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2005 well i dont really care for what the anti-narain guys have to say. but take it this way you will be watching him race next year and there is nothing you all can do but sit and watch him and the worst that can happen for you is come to this website to get your anger out from you silly lives. By the way if you think narain paid $30 million!!!, one thing you have definitely proved that you know very little about F1. I mean you must be thoroughly nuts to put that figure. hahahahah its laughable....so cut that out and dont show off your stupidity. Just for letting you know its much (much!) less than that. its fresh news guys!!!!! In recent talks with other teams Narain has just been offered test role with Toyota (with Williams also being considered). But Toyota are willing to pay for the seat and it could be for 2-3 years!!! this could be a great opportunity for him. I wuld love to see him race but Toyota is much better team. Narain said that he wanted to spend time with a better team then pay money to Midland as they might get him nowhere. There are lot of discussions going on at the moment and to be honest Midland are behind him to sign the contract but narain is holding back at moment. He seems more inclined to Toyota...couldnt tell you before as this is very recent development or maybe kept very secret. Tiago is on the line with the money for Midland too. So this is getting hot now...lets see what happens but will know very shortly. Seems toyota is where narain might head after all. Will keep you guys posted.

Considering his age he should go for the race seat but if toyota can offer for flexible contract not bad then. but lets hope for the best yea! cause once he goes into test driving for big teams, i dont think any big team will give a him a racing seat after that too! look at montagny, he has been renault test driver since 2003 n still after this, no big team is offering him the racing seat, the teams that will give him a racing seat are teams like Jordan n temas of that level! against this, look at fisichella, he never took any test driving seat after 1997, he kept on racing, n now look, he is with the world champions! narain should not take a testing seat right now...he should go for 1 year racing seat at Midland...not for 2 years like Albers!
