Zolder 2007
BACK IN EUROPE FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2003, SEBASTIEN BOURDAIS CONTINUED WHERE HE LEFT OFF. HE WON HIS FIRST EVER CHAMPCAR WIN AT BRANDS HATCH AND FOLLOWED IT UP WITH HIS SECOND WIN A WEEK LATER AT THE LAUSITZRING. HE TOOK POLE HERE ON SATURDAY AND WAS NEVER HEADED, EXCEPT DURING PIT-STOPS, AND RAN OUT A WORTHY WINNER. HE WAS FOLLOWED HOME BY HIS FORMER NEWMAN-HAAS TEAM-MATE, BRUNO JUNQUEIRA, WHO CHALKED UP THE HIGHEST-EVER FINISH FOR THE DALE COYNE RACING OUTFIT AFTER SOME MASTERLY DRIVING TO HOLD OFF HIS CHALLENGERS WHILST AT THE SAME TIME CONSERVING FUEL TO ENABLE HIM TO ACTUALLY REACH THE FINISH WITHOUT AN EXTRA 'SPLASH AND DASH' PIT-STOP. THAT WOULD HAVE DROPPED HIM DOWN THE ORDER AND IT WAS IN DOUBT RIGHT TO THE FINISH BUT HE MADE IT. GRAHAM RAHAL WAS ALWAYS HIS CLOSEST CHALLENGER AND DULY TOOK 3RD. DAN CLARKE WAS SUSPENDED FROM RACING BY THE STEWARDS WHO JUDGED HIS DRIVING DURING QUALIFYING TO BE TOO DANGEROUS WHEN IT RESULTED IN A FOUR CAR ACCIDENT. SUPER-SUB MARIO DOMINGUEZ TOOK HIS PLACE AND MUST SURELY HAVE ESTABLISHED SOME FORM OF RECORD AS THIS IS NOW THE 4TH TEAM HE HAS DRIVEN FOR THIS SEASON!
