scary...
the weather doesn't look promising for sunday so it could be one of those wet/dry ones. just the sort of thing to throw a random winner in. if there is such a thing in the world series this year! |

He has a 131 and Carbone 78, and there's still a maximum of 62 points available. This is all just theory though, Carbone's best weekend so far (Hungary) earned him 27 points. He would need two such weekends in a row, without van der Garde scoring any points at all. |

Your quite right F-lot .... I missed the phrase "all but" wraps
I would love to see a late charge from Carbone, but then again I would love to win the lottery ! Last edited by wannab-aracer; 17 Sep 2008 at 00:15. |

Report here and results below. Sounds like Guerrieri lost the race off the line, which is not like him at all. Maybe starting from pole was all too much for him.
