Great race, great track, great coverage, shame about the finish, I'm sure we'd all love to have seen Sato take it, but its better than nothing....

I shall mark this date in my head.

Alright fine, if you are getting worried about this being a parallel universe or something:

Shit winner, not enough yellows, Bourdais was not a Indycar winner here.....errr....hmmm
Push to Pass should just be called Turbo button or something, its not supposed to be a button that guarantees an overtake anyway...

Better?

Race was good, but the track layout really is quite shitty.

The old layout was shitty, as that produced a procession every time. This was the first Edmonton race I really enjoyed watching, lots of overtaking and a fight for the win till the end.

Ya, really enjoyed the race, even if Sato couldn't quite pull off the win.

I quite enjoyed the old layout, especially the first race there when AJ Allmendinger looked like he was going to get his first win and then lost it right near the end.

The new one isn't as challenging for the drivers but at least it also has overtaking opportunities

I miss nothing about the old layout. It was dreadful for racing.

Except for that 5th gear chicane. But yes, other than that, completely crap.

Just managed to watch this race, after a not so good sunday with a terrible hungover, the flu and a massive headache.

Great race. Anyone saying this was any worse than good, they have no fucking idea. No gadgets, no stupid FCY, just racing, real racing.

There is Push-to-Pass, but that's about it.

Fast-Forward highlights!*


*Not for those who prefer half-hour highlights or those who really, really, really, really, really hate dubstep
