"A resplendent rookie class, a joke of a schedule, a change in the pecking order, a woeful television package, a new car that was a pain to work on but a pleasure for competitive balance, the insane musical chairs with drivers and a "stand-up" guy calling the shots were Champ Car's headline makers in 2007.

Almost half the field was newcomers yet this was easily the best group of rookies in a long time. Robert Doornbos left a mediocre ride in Formula 1 for some instant gratification in Champ Car with old boss Paul Stoddart and Keith Wiggins. Refreshingly candid, personable and quick, the 26-year-old Dutchman twice put Minardi Team USA in victory lane and briefly led the point standings. He also managed to get under Sebastien Bourdais' skin.

Considering his experience, Doornbos figured to be rookie-of-the-year but Graham Rahal and Simon Pagenaud were mighty impressive in their first pass through the Champ Car schedule.

What do you all think to Miller's review then?

For a guy that is so pro champ car I think it's very honest and well done to him for saying what he thinks.
