Who will win the Vanderbilt cup?

I have always liked Will Power, and it's great to see him winning. At Vegas I thought this will be the year Tracy finally wins the title. Then he got injured at Long Beach...As long as Power or Doornbos win I'm happy.

Standings after Toronto:

1 Robert Doornbos (R) 164
2 Will Power 162
3 Sebastien Bourdais 161
4 Justin Wilson 138

I think Doornbos will do it, Team Minardi will likely find all the support he needs if he keeps the pace. I think Bourdais will come second, Power then Wilson.

Gotta go with the rookie, Doornbos. He is an amazing driver and is the best choice to rip the Vanderbilt Cup out of Bourdais' hands.

Knowlesy · 19 Jul 2007, 17:32 (Ref:1967658)

It has to be Bourdais. He is still the best out there, by far.

But I'd love to see Doornbos do it, he has been something of a revelation.

I'd like to see Doornbos take it.

Quote:

"It seems like every year it's a three-man battle and it looks that way again with Doornbos, Power and myself," said the Frenchman.

"A lot of things can happen but that's what the championship fight looks to be shaping up as. It is tight and intense and will probably go this way until the end."

"We've had our fair share of DNFs this season which isn't ideal," he said. "We really can't afford any more.

"Our strength has been to try to keep the same intensity throughout the while race season and not being particularly better t one even than the other, just always being there.

"We will keep plugging away and doing our job, and hopefully we'll manage to get it done."

Hard to pick who will it,but i reckong it will be a pretty close championship,my vote go to the already 3 time champion.

marcus · 20 Jul 2007, 16:29 (Ref:1968467)

I voted for Will Power , I think he can do it but of course Bourdais and Doornbos will give him a good run for his money.

But I am certainly barracking for him

Seb looks too much like Harry Potter, we need a new face up there.

are you sure your looking at the right guy?

i think bourdais will do it, hes just in another league, but i would love to see doornboss do it as i feel he is a true sportsman and worthy of being the champion, it annoyed me when bourdais didnt shake his hand and moaned about him in his interview. funny how he has been acting all nice since.

who knows maybe bourdais will slip up, he gets a bit erratic at times, we will see.

Still very close.

Also if only we could have those 20 drivers each race that would be good!

More American and less European drivers would be better though.

Bourdais seems to me the one driver who finds speed when its needed, so I go with him. It shall be very interesting to see how the others stack up against himfor the rest of hte races and see if one of them consistently can get ahead of Bourdais (the other thing with SB is that I feel that as a team, the car/engineer/driver combo is stronger overall race per race consistent-wise than the others)

cptkablamo · 5 Aug 2007, 03:13 (Ref:1981172)

I think the Bourdais and NHLR experience will win through but I do hope Power gets up and wins...clinches it at the Gold Coast would be nice too

Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing, I forget half the time it just doesn't roll off the tounge like it used to and when they say NHL I think they are talking about ice hockey.

Goes without saying Boots.

I think Doornbos can take it.
