In the words of a couple of somewhat famous drivers, "Briscoe? Yeah he's a f**king idiot"

Looking forward to this event.

Yeah I was really disappionted with the race, bored stupid, CCWS guys are miles off the IRL guys and its gonna be like that for a while, maybe St. Pettersberg will be different seen as its a Road Course but I doubt it, they still have to set em up properly.

IMO they should have unified 2 years ago and found a way to get the Lola chassis and a standard Cosworth on the go so they'd at least know wtf they were trying to set up.

wasnt the unification just a kind way of disguising the fact that champcar was dead ?

Can't get that people are linking a boring race to unification. IRL had boring races. CCWS had boring races. If you put them together, every so often, you'll get a boring race. I'm also not believing that people don't understand that this isn't a "regular" unification season. Its the first step of the transition to a bigger and better series. Currently, all this series is is IRL with some added slow teams.

Give it time and don't criticism unification.

Oh jeez... Kanaan deserved to win that one... Viso, *#@$##@!! :(

Loved the fact that he wanted to keep going on even with a damaged front right wheel, ha! That's the kind of ambition I want to see!

Now I am hoping that he will have a better luck in the next race! Go Tony ;)

Doesn't look silly enough to be an April Fools joke. Good news indeed.

Excellent pace from the CCWS guys. If only Sky would show it live instead of Tennis and Golf FFS!!!!!

Sky can't show both motorsports live at the same time though.

I guess they are covering NASCAR because they have the first full time Brit in that, since thats what all the coverage is about. Ironicly he DNQed this week anyway...

Awesome result for Rahal and Newman Haas. What a fantastic debut. All the CCWS guys were impressive, Rahal & Viso especially.

Disappointed for Wilson, really thought it was going to be his day, that's just the way it goes in those conditions i suppose.

Yeah, what did happen to him? I was alternating between the F1 highlights and the Indycar, so missed what happened to Wilson.
