Not my favourite of tracks! Let's hope this won't be too much of a snoozer!!

Last year's race was surprisingly very good. Hopefully this year's will be too.

Already the last Road Course race.
It is also the last race to a normal schedule in Europe (11 P.M. CET for the Pre Race Show)
I hope Bertrand Baguette et Simona De Silvestro will do a Top 10.

Cmon Power!!!

Looking very grey at Sears Point at the moment

Sato just chopped off Danica, that could have flipped him

She's got deranged suspension.

I wish Milka Duno would just retire from racing and give someone respectable a drive.

Well she's only 4 seconds off the pace and faster then Dracone, so he needs to retire too then.

Trouble is that getting rid of Duno leaves Lloyd out of a drive too, though they had wanted Rahal in the car originally. She's paying for both cars, I don't think anyone respectable has the money

Watching then Sato/Danica incident again, she was almost right up with his front wheels and he still turned in on her. Sato can be really retarded sometimes.

Dracone has only been in for a race, she has been in for at least two seasons. She doesn't have to retire, she could just like race on the ovals where she is actually competitive.

When the team put together the car properly anyway, just to mention before people point out Iowa.

Aww, we get commentary but only a static camera for Formula Mazda and it shows something other than the track

The Indy stream is really shitty at the moment

Power on pole again...

Well what a surprise..................

Getting pretty monotonous.

Danica's qualifying places for the last five races:

Watkins Glen - 21st
Toronto - 12th
Edmonton - 21st
Mid-Ohio - 22nd
Sears Point - 23rd

For someone in their sixth year in the series that is pathetic.

Another pole

lol, he's in a diff league on road courses, but somehow I can't see him as being up to par in F1, but it would be cool to be proven wrong.

F1 teams will not risk new talents without bag loads of cash anyways because of the testing ban.
Nice to see him get the pole record
