Most Improved Driver

I have my idea about who the most improved driver is. He has been building speed gradually and now the teams is coming together around him and he is beginning to place well in many races so far this year. he seems like a nice guyy and is well liked by the fellow racers.

My pick is Michel Jourdain Jr.

Who do you think it should be?

I picked Jourdain, but I do also think Dixon is looking very good as well as Tagliani.

I picked Jourdain as he's steadily improved over time, and only bad luck and poor machinery has thwarted him being on the podium earlier. His third at Michigan (but oh so close to a win) was fantastic and well deserved. Having been a fan of his since the beginning of his CART career (I still don't know why, he just seems like a nice, quick young guy) I was very happy indeed!!!

Dixon has been on the ball since the start, while Junqueira has improved, but I've heard rumours Ganassi still isn't too impressed with the young Brazilian. He was expecting another Montoya.

Tagliani has improved lately, but let's see if he produces good races such as Toronto and Michigan (where he came 6th I think) consistently. He is a champion in the making, but his career can't stall before he gets a real chance.

I chose Bruno because although nobody is paying attention to him, in many circumstances he is already keeping pace with Helio. (Also Helio was a bit of a madman when he came into Champ Cars and so is Bruno, and I think it argues well for his ability!)

But it's a hard choice to make.

Certainly not Tags.
And I think Jourdain has always been good. Just hasn't had the ride to show it.
The others are rookies, and can only get better.
Hard question. Guess I'd take Bruno.

I voted for Jourdain. There's something about Bruno that's been a bit disapointing to me. Maybe it's just the fact that I expected more out of him since he won the F3000 championship
