Congratulations Team Canada!

Well done Team Canada!

However keep Sean in the car for the US races!

Well done Wade, Sean, John and all the team!

SALEEN S7R · 13 Feb 2006, 09:49 (Ref:1521621)

Indeed, well done Team Canada! I too think it would be best to keep McIntosh in the car, yes Carpentier has more experince of the North American circuits but McIntosh is on a roll at the moment and he knows the team and the car, we have seen what bringing new drivers into the teams this late in the season has done and in general I think its a bad move.

marcus · 13 Feb 2006, 10:18 (Ref:1521641)

Australia P3 and Brazil P4 , yep driver changes late in the seaon are bad ???

ok exaggerating there , but I dont think its a bad move allthough Sean is doing very well indeed , in fact he has impressed me all season but carpentier is no slouch and may do just as well in the car or at least we would like to think he will.

Team Canada has also been talking to IPS driver Jesse Mason and NASCAR bound Paul Tracey. However Brazil always planned to put Christian in the car and he did very well.

Marcus Marshall did an excellent job for Team Australia!

I don't need words to express my opinion...

strider · 13 Feb 2006, 15:31 (Ref:1521842)

Totally agree with the thread title, and the praise for Sean McIntosh. I have been impressed by him since Brands, but yesterday he was outstanding. There was so much going on that I still don't quite understand how he managed to win despite the drive-through penalty, but he did. Respect.

Formula John · 13 Feb 2006, 15:55 (Ref:1521855)

Although GBR did not win; Team Canada has the same team behind it. Except JVA run the Canadian car and Arden the GBR car.

Sean won the race by charging through the pack and even had a "stop and go"

thejester · 13 Feb 2006, 22:31 (Ref:1522166)

Indeed, well done Canada.

Quite a statement about the formula that it could throw up a result like that. There's almost too much going on in a race to follow - and it's all relevant to the results! Not that I'm complaining at all.

stradlin21 · 15 Feb 2006, 08:03 (Ref:1523152)

I hear that Sean Mcintosh is getting replaced by Patrick Carpentier for the next race

Team Canada wanted a "star driver" for the North American rounds! Team GBR did try and get Dan Wheldon, but he wanted $1million plus!

stradlin21 · 15 Feb 2006, 08:27 (Ref:1523167)

I reckon Dario should get a shot. It is Team GB after all

I would still like to see Nigel Mansell!

SALEEN S7R · 15 Feb 2006, 12:22 (Ref:1523348)

Id like to see Gary Paffet or Lewis Hamilton in the car personally.

Foster · 16 Feb 2006, 05:52 (Ref:1524041)

Well done for the West Coast boy.

The sad part of this all, was the lack of attention that it got here. Guess the Olympic hockey takes up too much of our time. But non the less, we did win, and I hope it's one of many more.

Team Canada want to run an East Coast driver as well as Sean.

Sean deserved more coverage in Motorsport News! Afterall he did race in British Formula Renault and won races there!

Lets hope Autosport do a better job!

Red Bulldog · 16 Feb 2006, 16:58 (Ref:1524442)

Don't think the Maritimers consider Montreal to be the East Coast!
But I do agree that Team Canada want a high profile driver for the North American races.
Carpentier should do well, but Sean should be on hand in case Patrick is off the pace.

Formula John · 22 Feb 2006, 17:26 (Ref:1529186)

I hope Wade has Sean and a few others in reserve!

Mosport67 · 22 Feb 2006, 18:45 (Ref:1529252)

The deal for Pat to replace Sean was made before Sean won the race.

Pat has always been quick at Laguna Seca and won the last two ChampCar races there. He knows the Mexico track as well.

I am not sure what Pat gains by this other than being paid to drive. He is looking for a ride for this season.

Sean got little publicity here in Canada but that is nothing new for motorsport.

Are they now showing the races on TV in Canada?

Yew, in Canada you can see the races on their media page, after the race is run. Seen nothing on TV as yet.
