The field looks very good in the top half of the grid. Big kudos to Justin Wilson and Mi-Jack.

Good show N/H

Great showing for both Wilson and Allmendinger.

Top fourteen within a second.

Haberfeld saddled with the Reynard.

Three wanks for jam cars

Am I the only who thinks Jon Fogerty or Michael Valiente would run circles around Nelson Philippe?

Something ain't right and needs to be fixed.

He's making IV look competitive. Get him off the grid already.

i am with you, 'Bird...I think we share the same beliefs that Mr. Wilson is a talent that is waiting for his opportunity in CC....
I think he can make a podium out of this one, with a little luck and some good pit stops, I think he can make it happen.
I was super impressed with him a LB, and think he can make it happen on this road course.
Give it a go, Jason !

Beat Bourdais!

Yep, with a few races under his belt and a proper circuit on tap this could well be Wilson's break through event.

^^^ I'll second that! Justin is awesome. Remember, last weekend he did a brilliant job at Le Mans as well - didn't finish (thanks to Firman crashing the car) but set the fastest lap after the Audis. And he didn't get the day off on Monday either - he had to come over to the UK for the AGM of Justin Wilson plc. All of us shareholders who attended really appreciated him making the effort. I was able to congratulate him in person on his achievements, and he made a point of chatting to all his investors. Not just a star driver but a really nice guy too.

That first podium is just a matter of time. Go Justin!! :D :thumbup:

So if Wilson is awesome then AJ, in only this fourth race at this level and with a brand new team, must be...

pretty much equally as impressive!

Plus 'Dinger is a heckuva good guy, who seems to take the time to talk to the fans (at Pre-season and again at LBGP), but since I am originally from the UK, and used to be a Jaguar Fan, I am a little biased to Mr. Wilson.

"Dinger is a great talent as well, IMO ! :thumbup:

wilson could easily and regularly run with the top 2 teams with a well-funded team
