Sao Paulo Indy 300 Brazil Race

Holey Hell, Marco and EJ, in the lead, this just cannot end well.......

Too bad Danica crashed into Simona yesterday and ruined her race. She looks fantastic in the wet...raciest car on the track and challenging Sato for a lap back.

Well, Power man won it, I still can't figure out how Frankitty came in fourth after hitting the tire barrier. And props to Grahamn, nice job.

Way to go Danica, a superb last place !

Makes you wonder what the announcer's marching orders are in relation to the princess. She plows into the back of Simone...who had stopped short of the car in front of her against the wall, lifts Simone's car on top of hers and the comment is "Simone's car is on top of Danica's with the wheel right near her head"....like anyone but Danica had anything to do with this result!

Didn't catch the race, so no idea how things played out, beyond Sato trying a fuel gamble that didn't really work. Still, another top ten and another race without crashing into anything can't be bad. Just hope he's not saving them all up for Indy! Come to think of it, all of my favourite drivers posted a top ten - Sato, Conway, Wilson and an increasingly impressive Servia, who seems to have become Mr Consistent. Another good run for Hinchcliffe too. Christ, even Jakes was on the lead lap, how'd that happen?!

That makes no sense to me.

I thought the same thing. I totally agree.

Wow, she passed a car that had crashed out of the race!

I saw a similar message when Helio did the same. I suspect it is system generated.

I must say that some of us seem to spend a unjustified amount of energy discussing DP. Why she is worthy of this, I don't get.

It didn't make me have any sort of conspiracy theory thoughts. They mentioned several times that they did not see the incident, had no footage of the incident, and were at the mercy of the Brazilian broadcast team for their feed. Logical conclusion when you see one car on top of another is the top car arrived last. Latter in an interview with "Princess Tippytoe Around the Track to Stay Out of Trouble" it became apparent she had plowed into the the wreck of Helio and Simona.

But but but they said last night it would be on at 6pm GMT? How can it have finished hours ago already? So I've missed that entire race? Gahhh!
