Disgraceful Article About ChampCar

[DNQ]

This article was already brought up in another thread, but I think it deserves it's own thread:

No Champs in third-rate Indy race

LOCAL hero David Besnard was a surprising seventh in the Indy 300 race for Champ Cars yesterday. Sadly, his dream finish was more a reflection of the dismal state of the American series than Besnard's potential to become the next Michael Schumacher.

What a disgraceful article about ChampCar, the idiot who wrote this obviously has NO idea what he is talking about It's proof the Australian media has NO idea about auto racing.

"The Champ Car contest was a third-rate show with a rag-tag bunch of unknowns and pay racers who were slow and unspectacular."

Third-rate show? Yeah, well it was a damn-sight better than the Snormula One race at Albert Park this year, yet somehow F1 has a halo around it.

"Nobody really cared about the result"

What a head - just because he doesn't care about the battle for the championship doesn't mean others don't.

"the V8 Supercar teams are waiting for it to collapse so they can become the headline act on the Gold Coast."

What rubbish. It's mutually beneficial for CART & V8 Supercar to share the weekend.

This article really ****es me off, it's about time Australian media give motorsport some decent coverage for once. Unless someone dies or there is a brawl, our sport just gets rubbished.
