Tag Heuer Makes Announcement

[GP Racer]

WWW.indyracing.com has announced that the respected watch-maker, Tag Heuer, will be the official timekeeper/scorer for the IRL. The announcment was made at a press conference in Manhattan this morning, and those in attendance from the IRL included, Tony George, Scott Dixon, and Sarah Fisher. Tag will be producing an Indy 500 watch, which will be available in April of 04.

While its certainly good news to have such a respected company like Tag, involved in your series, I think many of us expected more out of this announcement. No mention was made in regards to sponsorship for Fisher, and certainly the outside hope of series sponsorship, was dashed. I think there still is hope that Fisher may get sponsorship from Tag in the near future though, due to a close working relationship they apparently have.

So what do you think?

PS - I tried to get into the meeting, but I was told my "credentials", (being a contributing member to the world renouned 10/10ths), wasn't good enough! The nerve, I tell ya!
