*Newey designed the cars that took Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, Damon Hill, Jacques Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen (x2) to Formula 1 World Championships. His cars have also been driven to race wins by David Coulthard, Mark Webber, Sebastian Vettel, Kimi Raikonnen and Juan Pablo Montoya amongst others.

ummmmm, he's not good enough to do an F1 car and has NEVER done an F1 car. AND if you will note the cars he designed were REAR ENGINED and HIGH TECH and used almost 100% by road racers. AGAIN please tell me what knowledge he has of the history of dirt champ cars. And AGAIN remember he comes from a place where they look down on USAC type drivers. And yes NEWEY did all that, ASHMORE did not! And NO ONE places them on EQUAL footing when it comes to race car design otherwise Ashmore would be getting millions of dollars a year instead of having to start his own deal.......
