IRL

Nasty crash during practice, I am glad all the drivers were ok (ish).

Dario won again. The boy is doing good this year.

Horrible crash

Similar to the Ginetta crash at Oulton Park earlier this year.

I hate it when a car is gets into a spin, stuck on track and you're expecting a horrible T-bone. Just writing that passage gave me the chills.

Although Mike Conway got his first podium (2 Brits on the podium) Justin Wilson had a great race, last on the grid due to suspension issues in qualifying and a change of tyres before the race he went from dead last to finish 7th and he also had one of the best saves.

First time I have ever see a rally style handbrake turn in an IRL car Sebastien Loeb could learn from that.

He only lost one place there and then got it back on the next lap (the last lap).

That's a really good save. I have a friend that is a good mate with Justin as he was one of his engineers at Jaguar. When my mate was 40 I turned up at his party to find Justin at the bar. He's a really nice guy. I asked his girlfriend what she did and she just shrugged... and said "I just travel with Justin".

Let's hope one day he can get a title, but I guess time is against him now.

I've enjoyed the Indycar races this season, and good to see Conway getting a result, as he's had some promising runs.

It's just a shame no one in F1 wanted to give him a go.
