It's the halfway point of the 2005 Champ Car season and up front we've seen the usual suspects, the return of a familiar face and a couple new kids pushing their way into the picture.
There have been five different winners in the first seven races and it could have easily been six had A.J. Allmendinger negotiated those final eight laps at Edmonton.
The fact Sebastien Bourdais leads Paul Tracy in the point standing and each have two wins is hardly a news bulletin or surprising. But RuSPORT muscling into that rarified air of Newman/Haas and Forsythe with Justin Wilson and Allmendinger is the emerging story of '05.
Cristiano da Matta's return to victory lane with PKV Racing was as well received as the bad news of Bruno Junqueira being knocked out for the season at Indianapolis.
And 18-year-old Andrew Ranger has dazzled everyone with his speed and maturity.
The mid-season grades are in and the only A in the class might surprise you.
I can't agree more with RM's only team to get an A mark. Tony has returned CC to the days when the boys were allowed to race and they either brought it or left it on the track. They hold back on the FCYs, and don't get involved. Its good to read post race articles that don't have to include quotes from the Chief Steward as to why a penalty was levied.
