Beyond the COT and tyre factors, I think we're just seeing driver and car development in a professional sport taken to their logical extreme, with the result of no mistakes or failures to spice things up.

It was a fun weekend. Got to talk to several drivers as usual. A photo I took Saturday of Darrell Basham's #34 ended up being the pictures he gave out during the autograph session(I made a trip to Wal-Mart Saturday night to print 125 of them for the team).

This is pretty cool, an eye level camera on Lucas Di Grassi at Spa: "I had to drive with only one eye open as the camera was blocking my other eye, quite tricky"
