I thought it was an excellent race. Two battles less than 1 second apart for over 20 laps? That's brilliant racing, even if no passing. Spengler and Paffet had a good old fashioned drivers duel and it was great to watch. The fact they can race so close without being aerodynamically affected to a significant degree seems to indicate the new rules are working, and you can't fault the drivers for a lack of passing. Until the last lap, they were both essentially driving flawless races in equally matched cars. Pretty awesome stuff.
If they had some better circuits then the racing would be even better, and some additional manufacturers and cars would help even more. If the new rules prove to be successful over the season, and it seems economically better value than sports car racing, I think we'll see some other brands looking to jump in, especially if they can find better tracks to stage the non-German races.
