24hrs later and it's a lovely sunny day in Toronto and it's a lovely sunny day here in London.

indycar.com almost missed the start of the race. They were too busy looking at the scenery from the heli-cam.

I think she's retired. As it happens Randy Bernard is just talking about her right now. He said this was not a rich mans sport and drivers are expected to keep up.

one of the ABC broadcast commentators stated that she was not up to the minimum speed and was given a black flag.

she can't keep up...

She can't. The argument has always been she brings money from CITGO but they can't be happy with her performance race in race out, it must get embarrasing.

Helio lost it and at speed!

fieldodreams79 · 18 Jul 2010, 17:26 (Ref:2728553)

Takuma-san got shafted....

and Helio eats a tire wall

that was a little scary...

**bjohnsonsmith** · 18 Jul 2010, 17:35 (Ref:2728556)

Nice move from Dario.

fieldodreams79 · 18 Jul 2010, 17:37 (Ref:2728557)

after a fairly clean start, this is starting to turn into a SC fest.

good to see PT back up front!

tux · 18 Jul 2010, 17:38 (Ref:2728559)

The people at Citgo must have money to throw around? Why dont they get behind a driver with talent who dosnt have a seat, wouldnt that be more beneficial for them than sponsoring Milka who cant keep up?

someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think Milka is one of the people at Citgo.

As Randy Bernard continues to shake up IndyCar racing, he'll address this. He's already commented on it as not being good.

I've lost count now.

Flyin Ryan · 18 Jul 2010, 17:46 (Ref:2728566)

Because they're only interested in sponsoring Venezuelan drivers and they're in short supply. (Viso is sponsored by PDVSA which is the State Venezuelan Oil company.)

He's proving to be a bit of a liability.

You're right but it's hardly a penalty.

And no full-course yellow.

fieldodreams79 · 18 Jul 2010, 18:21 (Ref:2728605)

that will bring out a full course yellow! Matos and Tags get together; and not in Turn 3!

we'll have them all bunched up here for the finish.

So whats the guess we see Paul go all out and get tangled up trying a pointless overtaking maneuver?

I would NOT bet against that.
