"I am pretty impressed with how Danica drove today [at Watkins Glen], and out-ran all her teammates. She was 0.2sec ahead of even Kanaan [and Marco Andretti] and put herself seventh, and I’ve got to give her a thumbs-up on that. People have been negative on her, or saying she’s only good on ovals. Well that’s bull, and today she proved it. This is a balls-to-the-wall circuit, and she did a damn good job today." -Paul Tracy

What year? One racer out of how many racers, tech crew, engineers.......

That was last year Beachgirl. PT said that about her. No idea if he was just stirring the pot with TK or he meant it.

Danica holds her own at times on road courses. I guess not wrecking people is a good thing as far as PT is concerned...lol

De Silvestro brille à Indianapolis


AUTOMOBILISME - La Vaudoise termine 13e des 500 miles remportés par le Britannique Franchitti.

Simona De Silvestro a brillé pour les premiers 500 miles d’Indianapolis de sa jeune carrière. La Vaudoise de 21 ans a pris le 13e rang de la mythique épreuve remportée par l’Ecossais Dario Franchitti.

Au terme d’une course truffée d’accidents – onze pilotes ont abandonné –, De Silvestro a fait parler sa constance pour arracher une belle place d’honneur. 22e sur la grille, la native de Thoune a gagné six rangs dans les cinq derniers tours.


Elle n’a toutefois pas réussi à s’octroyer le prix honorifique de meilleure femme de l’épreuve, puisque la sculpturale Danica Patrick a effectué une course d’anthologie. Partie de la 23e place, la pilote du Wisconsin est remontée à la 5e place finale.

However, it has failed to give itself the honorary award of best female of the race, since the sculptural Danica Patrick has a roll of anthology. Part of 23rd place, the pilot of Wisconsin is rising to the 5th place overall.

"Scuptural", heh, wonder what that means?

This is cool too:

People in Suisse know who she is. Not bad for American auto racing in a country where F1 and bicycling rule.

She did pretty good for a first time. She I know wants to do better, and unlike the fashion queen, seems determined to race her way to a victory some day...
