Toronto 2007
5 CARS OUT BEFORE HALF A LAP COMPLETED; A FURTHER 4 CARS DURING THE RACE, INCLUDING SEBASTIEN BOURDAIS WHO WAS NUDGED FROM BEHIND BY ROBERT DOORNBOS; INITIALLY DRY BUT TURNED WET; JUSTIN WILSON SPUN AFTER A TAP FROM SEBASTIEN, WHO COULD NOT HAVE SEEN HIM, WHICH DROPPED JUSTIN TO LAST (12TH) BUT HE BATTLED BACK TO MAKE 3RD PLACE ON THE PODIUM; NUMEROUS DOUBLE YELLOW FLAGS/SAFETY CAR PERIODS! JUST AN ORDINARY DAY'S CHAMPCAR RACE AROUND THE STREETS OF TORONTO. THE BIG MÊLÉE ON LAP 1 RESULTED FROM A SEEMINGLY MINOR AND COMMON INCIDENT - SIMON PAGENAUD LOST HIS FRONT WING. UNFORTUNATELY, PAUL TRACY FOUND IT - IT WAS UNDER HIS OWN FRONT WING! HE COULDN'T STEER PROPERLY, HIT THE WALL JUST BEYOND A BLIND CORNER, OTHERS SWERVED TO AVOID HIM, JAN HEYLEN FLEW INTO THE AIR OFF THE BACK OF ONE OF THE SWERVERS, THE TAIL-END OF THE FIELD NOW STARTED SWERVING TO AVOID HEYLEN AND EITHER HIT THE WALL OR TRACY'S CAR. STILL, ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL!
