RETURN OF THE LEGEND: iOpener signs huge name for testing

[VELOCIPEDE]

The last weeks iOpener was the talk of the town on many racing and simracing websites all over the world. We have received so many e-mails with the same question all over again: "Who is the legend?". To avoid that we have to answer all those mails personally we feel obliged to give you a more detailed explanation here on the RTR website.

We are not yet allowed to publish his name as he is preparing himself during the month of November to be physically and mentally ready to perform during what he calls "the event of the year". If we would announce his name now the whole press will dive on the matter and that can jeopardise the test event he will be participating in on Circuit Zolder.

What we can say is that we have been closely following most of the discussions on the internet and we would like to point you in the right direction to temper the expectations a little bit. He will not drive a modern 2009 specs vehicle but will take a more classic model which made him "fly" for years.

Once we have more information to share with you we will of course make it available for you here on Real-Time Racing.

This week our legendary driver has let us know that he is fit again and feels up for his important task! Together with his assistants he has prepared himself during the last few months.

Earlier this week he received his new suit (it is red) and it fits him perfectly again as he mentioned while laughing his recognizable laugh.

Weather forecasts prognose cold circumstances for his event, though this doesn't scare the brave heart. He mentioned he is used to the cold, since he is coming from the north of the globe.

He is totally excited that so many people, even the professional motorsport industry, have been guessing who he would be, and is looking forward to finally reveal his identity, next week!

....Hakkinen??? Per il fatto che venga "dal nord" mi farebbe pensare a lui...la tuta rossa, invece...

[elwood]

A boh, bisogna vedere lo sponsor personale , anche Schumacher, pur essendo legato alla Ferrari, s'e' visto sui kart o alla ROC, con la sua tuta bianco/verde.

Il fatto della risata, quella di Hakkinen era inconfondibile.
