they usually have qualifying also
A much more interesting track than the current one.
I don’t really see the big hoopla over this race, it is often the second most boring one of the season after Monaco.
Fox owned Speed and just turned them into “Fox Sports 1”.
That confirms what I read early-on, another posted that Speed went out of biz.
Now to find FS1 on DTV.

I hate how hyped up this race is. Such a snooze-fest. Watched Grand Am at Laguna Seca and didn’t fast forward once through the race.
F1 at Monza? I think I just FF from about 1/2 way to the end.
I was at Sonoma for WTCC this weekend. The races are short (two 13-lap races, one with a pace car start and the other a standing start) and the cars aren’t especially fast, but it makes for some exciting racing. It’s what NASCAR would be if they drove compact sedans and ran nothing but road courses.
I was rather surprised that both races were green for the full duration. The same could not be said for the NASA US Touring Car Championship race that ended the day yesterday...
Cool, I’ve watched those WTCC sprints at Sears Point. Fun stuff. I was surprised that a Chevy Cruze won one (or maybe both) last year.
A Cruze won one of the races this year as well, driven by Tom Chilton. The second race went to a Honda (which clinched the manufacturers’ title for them). That car was driven by Gabriele Tarquini, who holds the record for most failed qualifying attempts in Formula One history. He’s been very successful as a touring car driver, though.
