Theissen was asked and his answer was no to the return to F1 but he held out the option of entering Le Mans series type racing. Hmmm.

reuters.com: Heidfeld still searching for 2011 drive
"I've signed only for this season, the situation for next year is completely open with Sauber but also with other teams with which I have already been in talks over the last couple of weeks."
Does Quick Nick have to pay for his ride? At the start of the 2010 season the going rate in cash or sponsorship money that a driver needed to bring to a team for consideration as a driver in 2010 $5million. A drive like Schumi can pull in that kind of sponsorship in his sleep. Quick Nick, maybe not.
When Heidfeld left he was given a F1 car as a parting gift from Peter Sauber. It was a going away present like a dad would give a son when he goes to seek his fortunes on his own. Well sort of in F1 terms. Now that he is back would ÔÇ£dadÔÇØ really expect him to pay rent to stay around what had been his home for years?
What about yesterdayÔÇÖs rumor that had Kubica going to Ferrari to pair with Alonso and Massa going to Sauber to pair with Heidfeld? If Sauber is becoming a Ferrari satellite team ala the Red Bull model does he have to pass muster with Ferrari? In that case if the two did pair up Massa would most likely be the number one. Is that on the table and holding up a 2011 contract?
F1 silly season; you have to love it. The rumors are so much fun to play with.

I think they mean the peddle kind but motorcyclists could benefit from gear that does some of these things. You would have to be careful what you would send as a message in certain situations.

BMW Announces Markets for BMW ActiveE Field Trial
Woot of the Day
FWIW
No news on the second ride for BMW Motorrad MotorsportÔÇÖs WSBK team. The announcement may come this weekend but I would not bet on it. It is possible that it will not come until the BMW press preview Tuesday October 5 for the Intermot show.
A prediction is the best way I know to help the decision process along.
