Ahh most streets in downtown Toronto will
be closed again for the annual Molson Indy...
For some reason it's now called "Molson Grand Prix" :confused:

Anyways, the wail of Indy cars will be echoing
off the high rises once again...Weather is cooperating
as we're expecting a sunny 30 C weekend :D
Maybe Paul Tracy will get lucky this year eh ?

Guess the event was overshadowed by the World Cup.
Tracy & Bourdais came in 2-3. Next stop, Vancouver I believe...:smt028

i watched the race, i was right there at the event. I was amazed at the cornering ability of the cars and i took some pictures of them coming out of one corner and i also got a picture of the Ford GT that was there too. did anyone else go to the Molson Gran Prix?

p.s. they flew F18 Fighters over the track too:)

Good race! We want pics, Venom.

The only CART race I attended was at Mid-Ohio ages ago. I was most impressed by the eyeball-popping 200-to-70 braking!

I wish CART cars would test at the stupid Indy F1 course just so we could settle lots of arguments.

a CART, Indy & Formula 1 car ? Specs would be great...thanks ! :D
