Interesting Statistic
CART.com just made me realize that there have been no two-time winners in Australia's 12-year history!
1991: John Andretti 1992: Emerson Fittipaldi 1993: Nigel Mansell 1994: Michael Andretti 1995: Paul Tracy 1996: Jimmy Vasser 1997: Scott Pruett 1998: Alex Zanardi 1999: Dario Franchitti 2000: Adrian Fernandez 2001: Cristiano da Matta 2002: Mario Dominguez Useless trivia, but interesting nonetheless. |

...but your odds of winning appear to be substantially higher if your surname ends with the letter "i".

"-dez" ending is on the up lately

Having two consecutive letters helps: Andretti, Fittipaldi, Andretti, Pruett, Franchitti, da Matta, Vasser, Mansell...
Maybe it's Manning's time? |

I just hope we don't get the weather of last year. But I think there's a good chance of seeing our first two-time winner...
