According to my spies (okay one of my Belgian listeners), 'Der Morgen', the Belgian newspaper is reporting that Bertrand Baguette has signed with Conquest Racing to run the Indy 500 this year.
Baguette dominated the 2009 World Series by Renault (Renault 3.5) Championship. He is hugely talented but coming in to to run exclusively at Indy is rather risky. Good for the car count but maybe not too good for Conquest's bank account.
He also has a spectacularly funny name and it was used to great effect (I would say that) in the 'US F1 The Series: Christmas Special' [see below]
Something New to Complain About

This is old news now by now, and the furor has already died down. But I was
out of commission when this occurred and the reaction it brought is still
fresh...

Good for Bertrand too - Renault reserve drive, but it's nice to see him get some competitive miles in outside of World Series by Renault
wee wee.
