Senna This Is For You

Recommended Posts

Senna, don't mistake CART for the IRL. There are only two ovals on the entire CART season, with the rest of the events taking place on permanent road courses (like Portland, Mexico City, and the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve - yes that's right folks, they also use the F1 circuit for CART, where the fastest cars are running the same lap times as the slower F1 teams), temprorary road courses such as Cleveland, and the majority of events at temporary street circuits such as Toronto, Long Beach, and Surfers Paradise.

Everyone talks about the skill it takes to race at Monaco, but in CART, circuits like Monaco are the norm, with street circuits making up the greatest number of events on the calendar, and in cars that are now just about as fast as the F1 cars of the early 90s (like your hero was driving).

And yet, you offer nothing but a smug retort, for fear that you might seem to 'provincial' should you acknowledge the obvious parallels between the 'old' F1 and present day CART.

Perhaps you are the new mock!!!!

Slam dunk!!!!! :thbup:

FJ the lack of success or even the existence of ex Cart drivers in F1 is really proof that in terms of sheer driver skill the american series dont quite cut it. Look at Montoya, who steamrollered eevryone there, then even after improving as a driver, he is not among the top F1 drivers. F1 is more lucrative, if they are indeed world class why dont they make it there. Why isn't Dan Wheldon there on merit instead of Nico Rosberg? Why is the GP2 champion given a race drive while Dan Wheldon cannot geth imself reckoned ahead of pay drivers?

Wheldon is from the IRL, a series consisting mainly of ovals, not from CART. Bourdais, the reigning CART champion, deserves a spot in F1. Montoya, whilst not a Champion in F1, has proved to be a talent, whilst JV came from the States after winning the title and the Indy 500 (when it was a unified series and hence very competitive) and became F1 World Champion two years later.
