N I Tram should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Which of Rahal's drivers (current and 2003) is best?

Bobby has something of an embarassment of riches, with 3 pomising young talents in teh cars for Motegi, and Kenny likely to return soon (maybe even by the 500, which would be extraordinary). Equally, Jourdain has a good record in ChampCars, and is especially nifty on ovals. With that in mind, which of their drivers would you consider the best?

I'd say Kenny Brack. If he can fully recover from his injuries then he can pick up a win or two. Jourdain I haven't really seen much of to be honest, but he looks like a solid driver who can pick up some consistent results. (He was in the points through most of 2002, I think?)

Bobby certianly has some good drivers in his stable. Rice has potential, as does Yasukawa. Meria could be something great, if he can nail down a full time ride.

Would be awesome if Bobby could enter all of them at Indy

Although I voted on Bräck as well (of course, I'm biased too ), I think it's not really fair comparing him to the others that are younger and not nearly as experienced and as merited as Kenny.

If the vote concerned just the four others, I'd place my vote on Jourdain Jr.

good point Rusty , I was gonna say brack as well but several factors are swaying my mind.

Firstly the accident , we simply dont know if this will change Kenny in anyway until he gets back behind the wheel.
and his experience , has been around and done heaps of racing , but of all the drivers listed , boy thats a class line up isnt it.

Kenny has experience and an IRL title, although his opposition then wasn't as tough as it is now. Miera is good. Jordain I never really rated in his early career but it was probably his cars/teams. When he joined Rahal his performance level changed overnight.
I'm impressed with the Rice performances when he was with Cheever and think that he possibly has the best overall potential of all of them

Judging by the form Rice has been in so far this seaosn, and Meira jumping into the car and putting it in the top 10, I'm not convinced that they need Kenny anymore.

Vitor and Buddy's achievements in Chevvies last season are worth far more than Michel's efforts in ChampCars last year. He's better to stay over there and try to get RuSport's first win.
