1. AJ Allmendinger will win at least one race.
2. Paul Tracy will win 1-3 races 3. Sebastien Bourdais will win several races 4. Bruno will win 1-2 races 5. DeMatta(if racing) will win 1-3 races Other than that, I dunno. Wilson has a shot at possibly winning one, but I think A.J. will have more time dedicated to him by the team which will give him the advantage. Anybody's guess who will win the ovals. |

Aside from Tracy and Newman/Haas:
1.Allmendinger 2.Wilson 3.Dominguez 4.Vasser (Hopefully) I also "predict" one "unpredictable" race where an unlikely winner will be decided by strange yellows or pit strategy, but not bad officiating (once again, hopefully). |

Oriol will win all races.
OK, maybe not all, but I'm hopeful he will finally get that damn first one! |

1st Sebastien Bourdais
2nd Cristano da Matta 3rd Paul Tracy 4th AJ Allmendinger 5th Bruno Junqueira 6th Justin Wilson 7th Ryan Hunter-reay There will be a tough fight between, Bourdais and da Matta, I belive Bourdais will come out on top, but da Matta will win in '06. Paul Tracy will get in the way of things and so Junqueira but he will suffer bad luck and unconsistency. There will also be a big fight for 4th between, AJ, Wilson and Hunter-raey. |

I'm makeing a hopefull prediction that the teams will be more even in 2005 because things will be more soild and more resources will be available. This means some good performances from unexpected places and more variableness in race outcomes like in the past. As such I'm predicting the following drivers will win a race:
Vasser (he's due and I think his team is looking to improve drastically) Dominguez Wilson AJ PT Junky Bourdais CDM Tag (more legit this time) |

Hey Camcartfan, Why not? Unless of course you beleive DaMatta won't have a Champ Car ride. If he does have a ride I'll take you up on your offer at 2:1.

Hogwash
 DeMatta will have very little problems adapting to Champcar again. They have less grip, and less HP now. Sure they don't have traction control anymore, but any good driver will adapt almost immediately to a car without. A Formula 1 car is much harder to drive than a Champcar at the limits, he will have no problem adapting.

I am still trying to come to grips with picking winners for next season when the schedule is still somewhat in flux and so is the driver lineup!
It is interesting to speculate but a driver's chances of winning are much different if he is driving for Coyne than if driving for NH, Forsythe or even RuSport (no offense to them - they are still relatively "new.") |

Zanardi was with a new team on his return; if 'shorty' ends up at Newman-Haas I would expect him to be quick from the get-go. |

Junquiera, Bourdais, da Matta (if present), Tracy, AJ, WIlson, RHR, Tagliniani and at least one other (perhaps Servia or Vasser)

Anyone who does a full seasn for Newman-Haas will win at least 1 race. Tracy should do too, and if the team signs someone like Enge he has a good chance too. Herdez and RuSport should produce wins for both drivers, and Tag and Servia have good chances, especially if Oriol can get back into a top team.

 Bourdais will win a bunch of races, Bruno, CdM and PT will all win 1-3. Can't see anyone else winning really, barring officiating stuff-ups or wacko weather. |
