So has Cristal put up the $ to be a primary sponsor? Also, I'm surprised the article doesn't mention Foyt, although the #11 is clear in the picture.

Here is a Star article on the same subject. The Bank of Chile is the primary sponsor and he is racing for Foyt.

Here more text translated:


In a ceremony to the pure style of Formula One, with the Smoked Stroll of bottom(a street like Wall Street), a brief parade and an artistic number, Eliseo Salazar it presented the new colors that his will shine monoposto in the next season of Indy Racing League (IRL), that begins the 2 of March in Miami.

The machine will be painted of White, blue and red, emulating the national flag.
One treats, partly, of a cabalistic design, because the pilot remembers that its last and only triumph in the category (the Fertile valleys, 1997) obtained with the patriot symbol in the tube of the car.

The head of Team, A. J. Foyt, taking advantage of the option that offered General Motors to tell him on a second car, gave to this one to the Chilean, that obtained the support - like main sponsor of Chile Bank, fact that allowed him to color the car of the way that to him it liked more.

" In addition, he is similar to the texan flag ", commented, alluding to the native state of the big shot of the equipment.

This year and as he did it in 2000, Salazar he will run with number 11 in the tube, unlike the 2001, when he participated with mythical the 14 that he identifies to Foyt.

This car disposition of a second pilot had left, on who still clarity does not exist, although Donnie Beechler (that in team) seems enough to have the first option.

This will not mean any variation in the treatment that will give the equipment him.

" it never privileges to anybody in special and or I realized that that of being the one or the two does not have greater relevance. In addition, it maintained my mechanic and it will contract more people of plant, with which he improves the equipment.

He is better to count on two cars, because we will have more possibilities of making improvements for each race ", confessed.

About its pretensions for the season, the santiaguin declared that " we want to be more competitive, but in any case we will try to be the best ones. The key will be in the day to day, because it is a very even category. In any case, one knows that if two gain races exist more opportunities of being champions ".

A declaration that made clear that it does not wish to make no prognosis. The first tests will carry out them in Phoenix, a private session that will be developed between the 5 and the 6 of February. Soon, the practices will be transferred towards California, later to conclude in Miami. Already in competition, it is not defined if they will make more tests, mainly in the new circuits for the category (Fontana, Nazareth and Michigan), due to the high cost that represent.

" it is not an equipment with a limitless budget. A. J. already said to me that we are going to train more, but nothing is safe. That yes, knows clearly that the luxury of not being cannot be given more protagonist during another season ".

And more...

To the agreed ones of the old songs of Alvaro Scaramelli and supported by the faces more salesmen of the tv-series, the pilot discovered the single-seater tricolor that will accompany it in the United States.

The passers-by of the center of Santiago had breakfast themselves yesterday with a strange new development.

In frontis of the Bank of Chile, in total Smoked Stroll, a grey-haired Alvaro Scaramelli remembered old songs to the delay of the great event of the day: the presentation of the car with which Eliseo Salazar will compete in season 2002 of Indy Racing League (IRL).

Holding first sun rays, hundreds of people surrounded the unexpected scene, in whose center place setting stayed the new bolide of the national runner.

While the songwriter made an effort to infect the public, in the offices of the bank, the pilot subscribed a substantial contract with its reliable auspiciador.

The gladly words went and came: Eliseo represents the values that our bank defends, indicated Julio Guzmلn, subrogant general manager of the financial organization; thanks to the support that offers me I will be able to have the colors of the Chilean flag in the car, talked back Salazar.

Outside, between poor people, people amused themselves trying to recognize the distance to the actors fashionable, who, dressed in the tones of the mother country, marched past in the footbridge.

ح6nigo Urrutia, popular Esaْ. of the tv-serie "Love of market", was applauded by the young people and the oldies. It lacked the sour cherry of the cake.

Accompanied by two precious models, dressed in tiny articles - tricolors, by the way -, Salazar entered to control the scene.

With great personality, the runner advanced, greeted and gave caps to the public, who comes crazy in its summery ambition: "Get down the girls, better", pointed a dissapointment.

To the few seconds, the curtain that hid great vedette of the day lowered.

Inclined on a platform (tricolor) appeared the car and more from some insured it took distance. If Eliseo rises, is necessary to tighten cheek, murmured a joker, remembering perhaps the black afternoons of Salazar in the ovals or that crazy race of the lieutenant commander Jaime Schiaffino in a contiguous stroll.

Nothing of that, Eliseo only wanted photos, tricolors also. The pedestrians began to retire little by little, although some remained waiting for if Scaramelli returned to the scene with another grey-haired song.

Was a Big Show!!!

Thanks for the link! I am happy for Eliseo and the fans of Chile. I sat behind them at the drivers meeting at Indy a few years ago, and they are passionate about the sport, like the F1 fans waving their flags.

I hope AJ does some decent testing.

Cristal, I know your intentions are good, but pictures on your C: drive can not be seen by anyone other than you (and those who have a direct link to your C: drive). They must be published on the web somewhere. Check with GlennH or one of the other folks here who offered to publish them for you. We would all love to see the pictures. Thanks much for trying.

-or, if you like, I'll be happy to publish them on the cps website.
