On a side note, Baseball is more of a World Series than anything Renault puts on...

Toronto Blue Jays, ok showing my ignorance there, but you know what i mean, its the same kind of arogance. Baseball is actually pretty good to watch but i guess it's just rounders

Well the best baseball players in the world play in MLB, so I think its the world championship of baseball as individuals go, but not really teams. Especially since its not country vs country. Then again, the Criket World Cup should be called The Colonial World Cup.

That's unfair. Holland and Namibia have never been a British colony. But I take your point.

now now, it's only like that because we played it when we, well, ruled there...

I don't buy the "Bremer and Ranger know the tracks" excuse as to why they're doing so well. Sure that's of some advantage, but we've seen F3000 guys like JPM, Junquiera, Bourdais come over and have no problem showing how quick they are on new tracks. Bremer and Ranger are also doing well compared to guys who are not rookies. Ranger was keeping pace with Bourdais at Cleveland, that says something.

As for where Wilson is, as was mentioned, he has won a race this season. If not for a stupid mistake and mechanical failure he would have THREE race wins under his belt. What a loser!

True, Wilson and Manning's rookie performances in Champ Car were both good...but where are they now? Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with them as drivers but they're not really doing too much to write home about.

Eh? What on earth is this all about?! Quite a nonsensical comment if you ask me, because im sure that Justin Wilson has just notched up his first Champ Car win and is a title contender and that Manning is comparing well to his highly-rated team-mate!

foreversideways · 22 Jul 2005, 22:50 (Ref:1361099)

Wilson is an excellent driver, expect to see more from him.

Suze · 23 Jul 2005, 11:04 (Ref:1361361)

They're both good drivers, and maybe I'm wrong here, but I was expecting to see more like this from them say one or two seasons ago.

Kicking-back · 23 Jul 2005, 11:08 (Ref:1361364)

This is only Wilson's second season in ChampCars, and he was in a poor team last year!

Suze - How about doing some homework before tapping the keyboard!!

Two seasons ago Manning was on the podium in Champ Cars and finished in the overall top 10 in the ch'ship. And at that time Wilson was in F1! So they were both doing quite well for themselves then and they are now!

I'm the first to admit, my knowledge of US racing is nowt compared to Brit stuff. Maybe the coverage is less here and that's why I've had that impression, I don't know.

Dr Venom · 23 Jul 2005, 22:31 (Ref:1361727)

is this he K Legge thread.......? or.........?

No 4 · 24 Jul 2005, 08:38 (Ref:1361883)

It's a thread which started about Katherine Legge and which is currently debating the pros and cons of her move to Toyota Atlantic in the US. In this context, the relative merits of US to UK motorsport has come up, as has the success or otherwise of UK drivers who have made the move to the US.

Kicking-back · 24 Jul 2005, 08:57 (Ref:1361889)

Yes.

Conversation is organic and flexible.

No 4 · 24 Jul 2005, 10:20 (Ref:1361930)

Agreed, I think this has been a good and lively debate. Just waiting for Jamie to update me on the Indy Car race weekend, which hopefully might add something new to the debate!!

fantasytoca · 31 Jul 2005, 20:28 (Ref:1368470)

Another win for Katherine today in the race in San Jose which now puts her third in the championship.

Well done Katherine

Yes, great news and. as an aside to earlier comments on this thread, my son said the racing overall was great, really well organised and presented, with the result that it attracted a crwod of some 200,000 - F1 dream on!!

I did of course mean to say 'crowd'!!!
