Wasn't that like a rookie mistake? Cold tires going into the first turn? You hear what he said about it?

I've seen several cars hit that exact wall this weekend.

I missed it last year because I didn't make plans but plan on doing it this year.

In November I think.

Yes, I went last year. It was a blast. Already have my tickets for this year too. They're on sale now. That track was built specifically for F1

they're aren't pussies.

I also love the fact that everyone has to race on two sets of tires. reds and blacks I believe.

****-ton more interesting in NASCAR.

Pirelli picks two compounds for each track. As long as it doesn't rain, each driver has to use both. If the intermediate or full wet tires are used, then that requirement disappears.

James Henchcliff won this race.

James Hinchcliffe is the winner. Seems like a good guy. They are pushing him very much on "Wind Tunnel" on Speed. So there you go. I am surprised to see that the course didn't allow side by side racing all the way around, there were was a couple places that it looked like there wasn't room for two cars. I also noticed that the shifters are on the wheels like F1 I remember when the split was in IRL IRL wanted to have H shifters and they wanted drivers to use a clutch. Guess it is going the other way again to more advanced racing.

It's a street race/grand prix.

Exactly. It's so much better than the left-turners.
