Elkhart Lake 2007
SEBASTIEN BOURDAIS PUT IN A FLAWLESS DRIVE, POSSIBLY AS A RESULT OF BEING MORE SETTLED NOW THAT HIS EXPECTED MOVE TO FORMULA 1 HAS BEEN CONFIRMED, AND LED FROM LIGHTS TO FLAG. HE TOOK THE MAXIMUM POSSIBLE 34 POINTS AT THIS MEETING TO TIGHTEN HIS HOLD ON THE CHAMPIONSHIP RACE, HELPED CONSIDERABLY BY HIS NEAREST RIVALS, ROBERT DOORNBOS AND WILL POWER, WHO ONLY SCORED 7 POINTS AND 5 POINTS RESPECTIVELY. DOORNBOS MADE A MISTAKE EARLY ON WHEN HE CLIPPED THE BACK OF TEAM-MATE DAN CLARKE'S CAR, WHICH LEAD INITIALLY TO A NEW NOSE CONE BUT ULTIMATELY TO THE LENGTHY REPLACEMENT OF A BENT, FRONT RIGHT WISHBONE, WHILST POWER SUFFERED A GEARBOX FAILURE. THE MAIN INTEREST WAS PROVIDED BY A VERY CLOSE FIGHT FOR 2ND PLACE ON THE PODIUM BETWEEN DAN CLARKE AND GRAHAM RAHAL. EVENTUALLY, THIS WENT IN FAVOUR OF THE ENGLISHMAN WHO WAS THUS ABLE TO SPLIT THE TWO NEWMAN-HAAS CARS.
