1st Atlantic quals

[cameraman]

What happened to Siedler? That is 5 seconds off his practice times.
Did he spin, bounce off a wall or otherwise break?

Edit to add - Seidler put it in the turn 1 tires at about the same time that Schiavo went down the Turn 1 run-off. Seidler lost fast lap and was done for the session.

Andreas Wirth stuck it in the Turn 9 tires and lost his fast lap too.

That's 14 within 1 sec. folks...on a street course! :eek:

[NismoZ]

Rahal and Matos prove last year was no fluke...so far. Does it bother you that people in Europe will be falling all over themselves to raid this series with GP2 offers by July 5th? They'd cover the champ's 2 mil winnings in a heartbeat. Is that 5 Americans in the top 10? Good show.

I'll believe it when I see it. But either way, nope, the idea doesn't bother me. These drivers don't bring enough money for a GP2 ride. If doing well in Atlantic gets the attention required to land paid rides up the ladder then it's doing what it's meant to do.

While I don't see NismoZ's theory being very likely, if it did happen, it increases the credibility of the Atlantic series and makes the top drivers more appealing to the Champ Car owners.

[Easy]

Thats 4 Americans in the top ten, but only 3 if Rahal is Lebanese. :p
