I'm pleased for Da matta, but..................
I thought that was a rather boring race. The lack of overtaking, and cautions to shake things up, made this seem very much like an F1 race. Not to mention the traction control, It used to be so much fun watching those drivers muscle the cars around the race track, now it just looks like the cars are attached to a railway track. This image actually looks nice in F1, because an F1 car is like a work of art, so the smooth and steady nature of the handling seems to completment the apearance of the race cars. But Champ Cars are far more robust and rugged, so therefore that style of driving doesn't suite the image of, what I feel, Cart is all about.

Traction control has been there for ages and maybe you looked another race - no overtaking!? It was way better than 2000 Monterrey race. Great start to the season!
Congrats to Dario & CART! |

On such a slick track, I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of caution periods. Sure, they shake things up a little, but I really enjoy flag-to-flag green. And don't tell Tagliani that there was no overtaking!

I dunno... I think the track design aint quite right- too many wiggly bits that reduce overtaking.

Micky Mouse track per a report from Scott Prutt as well as several other Cart drivers. No grip. Poor design.

I think the race was quite good. I liked the news rule concerning pit stop windows, as now we don't see all that conservation mode running.
I also liked the lack of yellows. It's better than watching the cars trundle round behind a pace car for lap after lap for no real reason. |
