Well, Dario started on poll(like I mentioned). The 2 players boys, Tagliani, and Carpentier, started 4th and 5th respectively. A blinding start from Carp, found him in 3rd place, and Alex in 4rth, after one lap, in close quarters with the leading 2, Dario and Max Papis. Dario was leading the way for most of the race and looked set to win. But a fantastic pit stop from players, put Carp and Tag, 1st and 2nd in the remaining stages of the race, with Dario and Max, right behind them. But a typically overambitious move from Tag, to take the lead from his team-mate, resulted in him spinning out of the race and hitting the tire wall. And for the remainder of the race, Patrick Carpentier was able to fend off all attacks from Dario and Papis and go on to take his first ever win in Champ Cars.
1st: Patrick Carpentier
2nd: Dario Franchiti
3rd: Max Papis
Oh, yeah, and it was raining the entire race.
