Robert's Logbook
I'm just visiting my hometown Rotterdam (NED) fort some meetings with sponsors, media and ofcourse friend. Tomorrow we will celebrate 'Queensday' here in Holland, so my timing is also not too bad..
My management is still in talks with Indycar teams to compete in the Indy 500 and maybe to do all remaining races this season. For me it's important to get into a team where we also have good chances to score in the long term (2009). So keep your fingers crossed a little longer!!RD
