Something I was really impressed with when we visited the paddock in Toronto, in the picture below notice the banners standing up in front of the transporters. The banners were in front of every paddock area and have the driver's name, driver's picture, the car and the national flag of the driver. Probably a small thing but I thought it looked extremely professional. Was this new for Toronto or have they used these earlier this year?

IMO very good work Champ Car.

Yep, exactly my reaction when entered the paddock. It really looked sharp.

most teams had those banners in Cleveland - I only shot a couple:

several teams also had nicely printed driver bio-stat take-aways at their paddock. :thumbup:

Thanks. There's a picture I can see!

Don't know what was up with the others. I remember seeing those at Cleveland, too. OL. :thumbup:

Good idea and I guess the company that prints those are kept on-site for Coyne racing. :rofl:
