That's why I hate Bourdais, he pulls shit moves like that and damages other cars, and yet he complains when anyone blocks or hits him? Suck it up bitch.
@AsiChicky Clearly people have forgotten all the spectacular action and close races of recent f1, particularly the 07/08 seasons. It's better than this stuff.
Recall of watching this live - this was probably the last full ChampCar race I watched live also, as I hadn't much time for this on 2007. Anyway, great race.
I did too..watcing videos like this is depressing.....as someone who is trying to follow the "merged" IRL and attending/watching their races now, I know in my heart how crap the current IRL cars sound, look, and perform compared to the CC's.
@minonkracer You mean that sport that Bourdais eventually graduated to? It's faster, more entertaining, and with better drivers. Much better than what this was.
Lola Racing Cars (also Lola Cars International) is a racing car engineering company founded in 1961 by Eric Broadley and based in Huntingdon, England. Lola started by building small front-engined sports cars, and branched out into Formula Junior cars before diversifying into one of the oldest and largest manufacturers of racing cars in the world.
Agreed about Wison being a fighter, driving with a brken scaphoid. He's also very tall for a Formula driver and I imagine he is usually pretty cramped in these cars. Great driver all around. If he wants fame he should get after a big sponsor and head for Nascar. Nascar's not my thing but seems to be where the glory is in the states these days.
Great Champ car race! What a battle and pass at the end. If they had been IRL cars and banged wheels like that Wilson woulda flipped over on his head (like Marco at Mid-Ohio.)
No. Just seriously. He's a dirty driver as you can see from this video. Right when he gets into F1 it's going to knock him off his feet when he see's who he's up against. F1 is nothing like Champ car.
Maybe F1 is nothing like Champcar but if you read his titles:1997:French Formula Renault:2nd 1999:French Formula3:Champion 2002:World formula3000:Champion Test with Renaultin the end he was faster than ALONSO,Renault choice Montagny because management contract with f.briatore 2003:ChampCar Rookie of the year 2004-2007:Champion RECORD I think we could compaire Bourdais to Alonso,Raikkonen when he found a good team I hope in 2-3 years I'm probably not objective but it's my opinion

Silly Silly move, with no chanc of braking into the corner, with no way of stopping it, on a guy with a broken wrist.. Who's the best French driver ever? Alain Prost. Bourdais is a loser and no comparison.
In my opinion it was a legit pass. Bourdais was up side by side early and Wilson should have given him more room, then contact wouldn't been made. Althought I agree with aviazn, of course you can't judge at the contact point.
I don't think it's a legit pass at all. When they turn in, Bourdais doesn't even have his fronts in front of Wilson's rears. You make the judgment from the point of turn in, not the point of contact. When you turn in, you've committed yourself to the corner, and if someone trying to pass you isn't even alongside you at that point, he has no claim to the road inside of you.
Legit pass, no question. By the time contact was made, Bourdais' nose was ahead of Wilson's, so if he didn't want contact, it was up to Wilson to give Bourdais more room.
Wilson gave Bourdais plenty of room, Bourdais slid into him, he had no control over the rear because he went in too deep. The move started actually ON turn in, the back end stepped out, and Wilson couldn't avoid it. It wasn't legit, it was avoidable on Bourdais' behalf, and he intruded upon Wilsons line, whcih means that he shouldn't have been in the clear.
great battle, deserved victory

I must disagree the DP-01 looks waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much like an F1 car, the Lola is what an American Open Wheel (Indy) car should look like.

One of the best auto racing finishes of the year.
That was a Mansell-like performance by Wilson. Not many drivers could have lasted that long against Bourdais after breaking a scaphoid bone.

Bourdais is one of the best driver in the world, in ChampCar he beats every drivers. I think in 2 or 3 years he will be F1 world champion.
