Comments: Very many congratulations to you on a wonderful 2nd place at LeMans and of course to your team mates. Number 2 should have been Number 1!!!

From: Ernesto Mascheroni
Comments: Well, at least you are the ALMS points' leader!. Indy 500 wasn't meant to be this year but, please, start looking for a full-time drive in 2003 right now!. All the same, congratulations on your second place at Sears Point. Shame you couldn't win, though.... Next month comes LeMans and I know you will be the winner. Please, please me!. Best regards from chaotic Buenos Aires. Ernesto Mascheroni.

Comments: I had one of the most privaledged experiences of my life to work with you and your SF3 car within the Stewart GRand Prix team during 1999. I had been a fan of yours long before I found myself in F1. It was a fantastic final year for us and I shall never forget the spectacular and deserved way in which you took victory at Nurburgring that year, it was the best moment of my racing years and a feeling of being a small part of something so special for you that I will never forget it. To make it even better you turned up at the factory a couple of days later and we all ended up in "Hero's" bar in Milton Keynes with your wife. Ricky Taylors lucky stones had done the trick. It was never the same after you left and I have since moved to another team where I still hear your name said with utmost respect and often accompioned by a story of some sort of practical joke you played. You bring with you a special atmosphere all of your own to teams you drive for. I wish you the very best of luck for the Indy 500 Johnny, I can think of no-one more derserving of a win. Best wishes to you and your family also.

Comments: Congrats on getting a drive at Indy! I expect you to qualify well. Maybe it will be another race nobody wants to win, like at the Nurburgring and you will be sipping milk to great applause! Good Luck.

Comments: just a wee note to congratulate Johnny on his Indy drive, I will be cheering him on, I'm really happy to see him get what he most definitely deserves.

E-mail from: Deane W. Lehrmitt
Comments: I have been a Johnny Herbert fan since his days in F1. I have enjoyed his abilities. His tests in an IRL car at the Kentucky Speedway were indicative that he would get an prime seat for the 500. I look forward to watching him race at Indianapolis in May. My congratulations on his success.

E-mail from: Jim Hopperstad
Comments: I've always admired Johnny in the world of F1 and now in the ALMS. However if he happens to do well in the current Indy venue, SO WHAT? A great driver just beat a whole bunch of Irrelevant Racers & Losers. If you were racing some of the worlds best, a good showing would mean something. Just showing up there with those idiots is going to tarnish you in my eyes forever. Good luck at any rate.

Comments: I have watched and supported you in whatever team you have driven for and you have had some second rate drives and second rate treatment. Highlight of my Formula 1 races was your two wins. Great stuff and well deserved. Johnny, you're a vastly under rated driver and its time you were back in Formula 1. I hope that won't be too long.

Comments: Dear Johnny,
Just wanted to say I was very happy to see you win at Sebring. You have been a great driver thru out your long and unfair career. I know for certain it that terrible day never happened at Brands Hatch you've be a multi time world champion, but as we all know life is not always fair. I love how you have made the most of what you had. Great Job buddy.

Comments: We have just heard that you are to drive in the Le Mans 24 hour this year and just had to write to wish you all the luck in the world with that and also in the Indi 500. If anyone can win both of these races, you can as we think you are the best driver ever. We really miss you in F1, it really isnt the same without you but thanks to your great website, we can keep up with everything you do and, along with all your many fans in England, will always be there to cheer you on, GO, JOHNNY, GO!!
Lots of Love & Luck for the future.

Comments: My first visit to the site - a very professional layout, easy to navigate and explore. Having printed out a Fan Club application form I shall be sending this off ASAP. I have gained a lot of pleasure in following Johnny's racing career over the years and wish him continued success in the future...and not just behind the wheel of a racing car. Us Romford lads should stick together!
With best wishes, David Rose.

Comments: Hello dears David and Johnny: it's been a long time since I contacted you because I don't have internet at home anymore; I'm out of a job!. I wanted to congratulate Johnny on his good half season at the ALMS series and his awesome oval tests for the Heritage IRL team. Make no mistake, I would rather see Johnny driving a CART series' car instead of an IRL one but, what really matters is for him to be doing something and showing the americans what he can do with a wheel in his hands!. And show he did!. What outstanding races he did at Road Atlanta, Laguna Seca and Mid-Ohio. For a rookie it was great....but then we know what he's made of...don't we?. Anyway, your shot is to race the Indy 500 (and win, of course!)in 2002, and it's good if you put on some miles in ovals before you go there; so the IRL is the place to be. Besides, next year we in latinamerica will at last be able to watch the IRL series thanks to ESPN so the timing couldn't be better!. To start watching a new (for us) series and with your favourite driver in it........
I wanted to wish you and all your family and friends -including a Mr.Zanardi...- a very happy Christmas and new year. Johnny rules!!!!!!!
Best regards from Argentina, ERNESTO MASCHERONI.

Comments: Hello, i have been a huge fan of yours since the early 90's when you partnered Mika Hakkinen at lotus. I would love to see you race over here in the IRL, but i read online that you might go to the new Premier 1 league next year. Is this true? What are you racing plans for 2002?
