Congrats to Newgarden on his 2nd win of the season and congrats to CFH on a 1 - 2 , especially after the last couple of races.

That was a really good race. I'm still struggling to understand how Castroneves suddenly ended up 3rd after being at the back on a not vastly different strategy?
It was a bit weird how the commentators kept saying how nobody knew who had what push to pass left, particularly when the graphic showing it was whizzing across the screen at the time. I hope they let Honda improve the aero package soon. It may be too late for this season but they really have to give them a better chance for next year. |

Again, really disappointed with Pagenaud. It all fell apart for him in the second half of the race. Disappointed with Coletti too. And bummed for Munoz, he had a top 5 car.

As I stated in the main thread, all parties agreed to freeze the designs in the off-season. You could blame the teams for whining about buying upgraded parts, but I really don't see how you build a better car without spending a bit more. |

Good stuff for Newgarden. Pretty good race. I enjoyed the drying track and the different strategies and compared to some of the s*** shows they've had on the streets of Montreal in recent years, I thoroughly enjoyed this race.

Very good race. A lot less yellow than I expected when they started switching to slicks.

I thought that was very dumb. There was no point in hiding the number of P2P if they were going to tell us when someone runs out.

There may have been moments especially on Friday when I was just wishing the rain to stop. However, my first IndyCar experience was great and definitely it won't be the last one. |

Also, the reason the main grandstand is shrunken is because there is now a whacking great hotel where pit out was. Pit out was completely reconfigured, necessitating moving the grandstand west. This in turn left little room for pit lane hospitality suites, some of which were moved across to the north side of the track. Net result - smaller main grandstand as there just wasn't room. I'll bet they didn't bother to go through all that detail in the article though. Sure, it's true attendance is not 75k like it was in the salad days of ChampCar or CART or whatever. That's not Toronto, that's motorsport (with the exception of a few banner events like Le Mans). Also, it was June (when kids are still in school and nobody's on vacation at the race) and raining. What are they expecting? /rant |

There is a large group of Torontonians, some close to Mayor Tory, that would like to see the race ended after the current deal expires (2017?). Add in the thousands of new residents in Liberty Village just north of the Exhibition station and there will be quite a bit of pressure to move this race.

I did like this quote from Monsieur Bourdais, elsewhere in the article:
"“The concrete here is not very textured. If the sun is at the right angle, it shines. Shows you how slick it is. When you throw some water on it, it's definitely quite exciting.” It was quite interesting to watch, early in the race, how some drivers were taking a very wide line around the concrete patches (Rahal for example), whereas others were just driving right across it (Kanaan).

A lot of casual fans who used to flock to the race when CART ran it don't go anymore. After the first year or two of the Dallara Honda series turned them off in droves. Also not having PT in the field hurts. No offense to the Mayor of Hinchtown (I like him) he isn't PT. PT is a racer who beat the likes of Mansell, Fittipaldi, Unser and Zanardi. Hinch occasionally beat a bunch of no names, at best mid-fielders during the CART era. IndyCar is dying. Tony George won the war. At what cost though? A phyrric victory. Every reason he claimed in starting the war turned out to be lies. He may have the body but there is no soul. Emotion, along with the crowds and sponsors, are gone and never coming back. I apologize for this rant but I will never forgive Tony George did to the best open wheel racing on the planet just to satisfy his own ego and to hell with the fans. |

And here we go again. It's done, can't we all leave the "IndyCar war" where it Rests In Peace (Pieces?) and move on? The Sun reporter I spoke to pointed out that the Sun would put the race on the front page, whereas the Star will bury it in the "Wheels" automotive section... which seems a valid statement. To their credit the Sun is still covering it well. There was a winky smiley after my Globe and Mail comment in case you didn't notice it. Agree re: buzz. I didn't see any billboards, print ads, etc. Did see ads on TV but only during previous IndyCar races. Not much if anything local though, but I may not have been looking in the right places. |
