Surfers Paradise 2007
SEBASTIEN BOURDAIS MADE SURE OF THE TITLE TODAY BY WINNING HERE IN FINE STYLE. IN THE PROCESS, HE ESTABLISHED A RECORD THAT WILL PROBABLY LAST FOR A VERY LONG TIME. THERE HAVEN'T BEEN THAT MANY CHAMPIONS OF CHAMPCARS WHO HAVE WON MULTIPLE TITLES AND EVEN LESS WHO HAVE WON BACK-TO-BACK TITLES. SEBASTIEN HAS NOW BECOME THE ONLY MAN IN CHAMPCAR HISTORY TO WIN FOUR CONSECUTIVE CHAMPIONSHIPS - THEY SHOULD GIVE HIM THE VANDERBILT CUP PERMANENTLY!
JUSTIN WILSON PUSHED HIM CLOSE TODAY IN FINISHING 2ND AND INCREASED HIS SLENDER LEAD OVER ROBERT DOORNBOS FOR 2ND PLACE IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP FROM 6 POINTS TO 8 POINTS. ROBERT HIMSELF DROVE WELL TO FINISH 4TH FROM 14TH ON THE GRID AND, IN DOING SO, CLINCHED THE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR AWARD. BRUNO JUNQUEIRA ACHIEVED HIS THIRD PODIUM IN A ROW BY FINISHING 3RD HERE DESPITE BEING STALLED ON THE GRID AT THE START.
