Eggzackly.  Which debunks the myth that CART cars could be faster than
F1 cars on a circuit with long straights.  The run from the hairpin to
the pit entrance is probably the longest flat-out section in F1, but the
CART cars are approx 20mph slower at the fastes point: I guess 192mph vs
212mph.  The reason CART cars are fast on ovals is that it tkes them
2-2.5 miles to get up to speed and they can run ultra low drag wing
settings because they don’t need to decelerate for chicanes or hard
curves.

From the timing commentary:

"The Molson Indy Montreal gets underway at 2pm local/ET (18:00 UTC)."

It’s 6.15pm now.  So has the race started without any internet coverage, or
can’t they tell the time?

Yes, I’m impatient

I am going to be in San Antonio near the Riverwalk area next weekend during
the Denver CART race. Where is a place in that area that has Speed Channel?

Please respond via email if possible.

I found the race to be a real snor.  F1 might have its problems but at
least the cars really haul ass and don’t have to stop every 20 laps.

In the 2002 Montreal F1 Grand Prix, after the first session of
Practice on friday Morning, the best time was set bey David Coulthard
at 1’15"407…..
After Cart practice one of friday morning, the best time was set by
DaMata at 1’20"593, being 5.186 seconds slower thatn the F1 first
practice… Very interesting results…
The F1 pole on saturday was set by Montoya at 1’12"836…
We’ll see if the CART guys can come down to about 1’17 – 1’18
