Some other notes of interest in this race.

Adrain Fernandez took his first Indycar Victory.

Kosuke Matsuura's 4th place was his highest career finish

Ed Carpenter's 8th place was his highest Career finish

[GP Racer]

Well done as usual guys!

I cannot believe that Dixon has fallen to 10th in the points! Manning his teamate is right behind him.

Matsurra is looking good for rookie honors, eh?

Honda's doing OK, if you can overlook that first race, I guess...

The chassis results seem pretty mixed, with both winning on the big and small tracks. No rhyme or reasoning there.

It'll be down to the wire for the championship though!

Good job marcus!

Rice goes on catching up with Kanaan, but once again the brazilian took advantage from leading the most laps; with the 3 extra points he limited the loss to just four points.
Gpoing on like this he has good chances to secure himself the title.

I cant take all the credit , I do qualifying but Downforce is a much better racer than me
