Jacques Villeneuve: three denials at once!
Jacques Villeneuve: three denials at once!No, Jacques Villeneuve will not race in karting at Mirabel this weekend. No, Jacques Villeneuve did not meet a mysterious Italian financial partner. And, no, Jacques Villeneuve will not prepare for NASCAR racing cars in Cornwall, Ontario.
If the "Journal de Montreal" was playing the game of three errors in its issue of Thursday morning, he would have lost!
"I do not know where they got that, but they are wrong," said Villeneuve, who has confessed to laugh when he read the article.

Karting rejected ... yet
Like last year, as the year before, as in most years, Villeneuve will go karting to keep in shape. But he hansn't set yet his schedule and to test this weekend at the ICAR complex is not part of the plan.
"For sure I'll go karting, I do it every year! This is an excellent way to regain shape and improve my reflexes. I will also have motocross and gym time. Like every year. "

Villeneuve will not miss, however, some laps in Rotax DD2 with other veterans in the league in Quebec.
"I have considered going to ICAR this weekend but I decided to make my debut another time," he said. In addition, he told me. "I want to have fun and get in shape, not to overshadow the drivers who make the whole championship. I'll decide at the last minute to go incognito. Certainly I will not do anything before getting a racket!"
NASCAR: Italians not flat!
As for the "rumors" that arrive regarding NASCAR Nationwide Series team, this is nothing.
"If there are mysterious Italians who want to finance my NASCAR team, I hope the journalist will introduce them to me because I do not know them", Villeneuve said, laughing. "It has been many months that the Italians with whom I was talking to about F-1 informed me that NASCAR was not for them. It is not a secret. I spoke with great businessmen from Quebec to establish a solid structure but is still embryonic."
One thing is certain: he has firm offers to drive on the road circuit in the NASCAR Nationwide Series but he wants to use it to establish the foundations of this solid structure.
"During all these years, I have met teams and people who have made me offers for road racing in NASCAR Nationwide. I'm evaluating what will be best choice to establish our structure for the future", said Villeneuve.
The maple leaf of ... Nashville
As for the preparation of cars in Cornwall. "I'd love that", said Villeneuve, "But the truth is there's no preparation for NASCAR Nationwide in Canada".
In fact, just as an illustration for Villeneuve's words, even if it belongs to the Toronto businessman Steve Meehan and he claims to be "for Canadians by Canadians", the new team GoCanada Racing is perhaps Maple Leaf a household name, because the preparation of the cars is actually performed in the Nashville area.
"It would be a logistical nightmare to base the preparation of cars for a team here," declares Tom Baker, GoCanada Racing vice president of business development interviewed by RueFrontenac.com.

Jacques continua a sua luta para ingressar na Nascar, mas agora parece estar analisando tudo com mais calma, procurando as melhores oportunidades. Está certo!
Ano passado ele fez algumas corridas e teve boas performances. Espero que consiga algo para este ano também, sinto saudades de ver o canandense pilotando. E bem que poderia ser nesta GoCanada Racing né? Eles só tem um piloto por enquanto.
Beijinhos, Ludy
