Gary Paffett
Sorry if this post is not very interesting, but does anyone know what Gary Paffett is up to next season - I have not heard anything for a while now. Has he signed anything ?

I haven't heard anything lately but during the last couple of races of the championship he said he might be testing for some F1 team but he didn't mention which one...
I really wonder what he will do too...The weird thing is that i haven't heard anything about him testing anywhere either...

I read in this week's Autosprint (italian magazine) that Gary Paffett is probably racing with the Rosberg team in DTM next season but nothing is confirmed yet...

He only got to do 13 laps, not much of a test!

"Gary Paffet managed just 13 laps after his engine blew on the start-finish straight"
source: f1racing.net
That's a shame.

it should have been obvious whether he was good or not straight away though, so i guess any chance is a good chance. the more contacts you make within a team the better for the future...

Spoke to one of the team tonight they said he was good straight out of the box and they were impressed with the way he adapted straight away this is a true reflection of his performance and not PR bull **** .He tests again on Thursday

So how do we all think Gary got on ?? I'd say he did pretty well - What are your opinions ?? Do we think he will be testing next year ??
Bantam - you seem to have some insider knowledge - have you heard anymore ??

Spoke again last night to hear that the talk on the pit wall was how impressed everyone was, and they think he is something special and it looks that he will be driving for them again. I just hope he gets an official test drive contract rather than the occasional phone call to test
