Yeah, I'd probably agree with you on Castroneves. He seems to run on confidence, when he's on it he's good, when he's not it appears he's not interested.

This is for the Greg Ray fans out there. From www.tracksideonline.com comes this report from the Phoenix tests:
"Greg Ray remained the surprise of the day. With only a handful of crewmembers, no track time since Oct., no updated aero mods, only 31 laps today and very little track time yesterday to get a handle on the track, he turned out a speed of 175.867 MPH, good for 6th on the grid. The Access Motorsports team was the second fastest G-Force, third fastest Honda, and fastest Ilmor Honda." "They have been working mostly on getting there base-line set-ups and balance rather than looking for big numbers, yet they have still come easily" Not bad, but will that kind of luck hold up in the race? |

There were a handful of units built by HPD in Cali. When I mean built, I mean disassebled, reassembled and dynoed with a few changes in software. The castings, head work, internals are all from Ilmor, either from Michigan or England. These HPD engines were used in practicts and/or qualifing and only a few tracks. Actually, the HPD engines gave us more problems than the Ilmor units. I'd say 90% of the units we used in races were Ilmor engines. Rahal, Fernandez and Access only had Ilmor units.

I think the former Mackie Motorsport team, Tomas Scheckter and Mark Taylor will win it
