And the million dollar question as far as I'm concerned:

TV Coverage?

Two weeks later on a Monday afternoon.

Conor Daly

I actually know Conor really well. Raced against him in karts for years, and hung out with him quite a bit. He's a cool guy. Hope he does well this year.
Its weird how many guys on the grid this year that I know personally. I also know Joel Miller, Billy Goshen, and David Ostella.

Too true. I had the Star Mazda race and then the Formula Atlantic on in the background, and both were pretty awful races. But at least they were on TV and in high definition!!

i was there today. your right not much excitement but hey its pretty cool bein there. Is it possible to have that for download anyway?

Thanks

The Autobahn track is not made for passing.
