I think Paul Tracy is a great driver. I think he should and I hope he lands a full-time ride next year in 2009.
But after Danica has the years in racing as he has, she will have just as good if not better career than Paul.Danica Patrick- 2013 Sprint Cup Series Champion

Do you think that after 3 years into her IndyCar career, she has been better than PT when he was 3 years into his IndyCar career?

Til I looked at his record, I didn't realize that he won his first pro championship at 16 and he won a Can-Am race at 17. He won the Indy Lights Championship when he was 21. Paul did a couple of partial seasons with Coyne and Penske, and then did his first full season in '93. He tied some English dude named Nigel Mansell for most victories that season: 5. If you throw in the '94 season to make up for his 2 partial seasons, he recorded 3 more victories that season. That's 8 victories in CART and Paul was 25 at the time. We won't talk about his Can-Am victory or his two lower series championships... or his dozen plus pro victories on his way to CART.
I wasn't the biggest Tracy fan back in the 90's. As he's aged (and I've aged), I've grown to respect and even like him. I'm not one of his uber fans, but there's no way in the world that one would even consider comparing a driver who's pushing 27, who's recorded but one lifetime pro victory (2 if you want to count that Pro-Am category win in Long Beach) to someone who successfully mixed it up with Nigel Mansell. That's just asinine.
Just looking at his CART stats vs. her IRL stats:
25 year old Paul Tracy: 8 victories
26 year old Danica Patrick: 1 victory
And I think it goes without saying that Tracy was dueling against some hotter shoes than Danica has ever seen in her lifetime. Personally, I'd rather see him move on to the next chapter in his life. But if he wants to come back to AOWR for another try, as long as he can get with a serious team, I think he still has what it takes to be competitive on road courses, as well as ovals."Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith

Can't compare PT or any other driver to present irl. Why? Cars. Old indycars with small wings where hard to drive and HP was higher and therefore much faster. Indycar now days is pedal to the floor and hope you race for honda home team with all the godies. 2010 will see who is who but if you want to compare how obout Edmonton.
Keep it fast, keep it real!!!
Tänak got 20 points closer to Evans, but as the main reason was a bad rally for Evans, I would say that Evans lost 20 points to Tänak, not Tänak gained. The point is, if the other one does not...
