It had of everything aside from the parade of the Day of Canada in Him Circuit Mont-Tremblant where Robert Doornbos (#14 Minardi Team the USA Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone) battled with the climate like all the better pilots of the category of rims open pies to demand the first victory Champ Car of his race. The Dutch of 25 years was involved in fights side to side throughout the day and left victorious in the mountainous circuit of 2,62 miles in the heart of the Laurentians.
The beginning of the race was far from being spectacular for the first row where Tristan Gommendy (#22 Pay By Touch-Megaspiera Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone) could not leave due to an electrical problem and the pilot of the Equipment Australia Will Power (#5 Aussie Vineyards Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone) became paralyzed when the lights went out. Both pilots got up to the race in the last places of the group with Gommendy losing two returns in the track of pits to make the repairs necessary and Power left before losing a return.
The calm Australian left slowly to try to gain places, escaping impressively to Paul Tracy (#3 Indeck Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone) in return 14 by the tenth position. Later all the alignment went to pits under green flag before Jan Heylen (#34 Champ Car Grand Prix of Belgium Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone) would remove a yellow precaution maintaining to all the pilots following to the leader Sebastien Bourdais (#1 McDonald ’ s Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone) whom an advantage of 10 seconds had constructed.
The drizzle fell on the track during the period of precaution while the pilots waited for the green flag for I recommence of the race, the three times Bourdais champion locally committed an unusual error when slipping in famous curve 14, well-known as “ Namerow ” and returned almost to the race at the end of the group. That error gave the leadership him to Doornbos for the first time but some problems in the following shutdown in again returned pits it to the last place of the alignment. With intermittent and sometimes heavier rain, the pilots were battling to find takes hold. Power occurred I spin a top in Curve 5 when it ran secondly and the Justin Briton Wilson (#9 CDW Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone) took advantage the conditions to exceed cars and to move of the fifth the second place in a return 43. While rain intensified, all the pilots stopped in pits to change to the rain rims Bridgestone Potenza trying to gain the greater possible traction.
Wilson volume the leadership in the track of pits and began to separate of the others before committing a serious error in curve 8 giving the leadership to the novice Simon Pagenaud (#15 Aussie Vineyards Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone). The young French tried to balance takes hold with the speed but unfortunately he happened to him just like to his Bourdais compatriot, in “ Namerow. ”. Pagenaud could return in the fourth right position behind its Co-equipero Power. Doornbos inherited the leadership in return 53 and began to separate of the others before it left the yellow flag because of Bourdais return behind him. The precaution caused a duel of five returns between Doornbos and Bourdais where the inexperienced experimented one managed to maintain to the champion and along with Will Power in third party, trained the group of pilots in podio.
Power and Simon Pagenaud not only overcame the difficulties of the exit to gain the third and fourth place respectively, but they put to the Australia Equipment in the first place after the first race of the Triple Canadian Crown. The dynamic pair divided equally a result of 3,5, a position in front of the pair of Newman/Haas/Lanigan conformed by Sebastien Bourdais and Graham Rahal (#2 Medi|Zone Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone).

The round 7 of the calendar of the Champ Car World Series will be carried out in the constructed temporary circuit in the Exhibition Place.

OPINIONS OF THE FIRST THREE PLACES

Robert Doornbos: “ Spectacular, is a great feeling. It is a new car, so it had a little advantage the past winter when I made the decision to come to the Champ Car and to combine my activities of the F1 with Red Bull. He was nervous because it is a new series, new circuits. I do not know the tracks. I do not know the pilots. I know that they are competitive. But the equipment also is new for me. So yes, nothing was favor. If, I believe that we worked very it last during the session of tests. And Michael Cannon deserves all the credit, my engineer. He does the easy life to me. I feel very comfortable. It has much experience winning, running to the front. I can motivate. Obvious, the mechanics, also deserve it. Yes, I believe that we can follow ” thus.

Sebastien Bourdais: “ Creo that within our bad luck we were a little suertudos with the conditions, to leave synchrony, to return to the front I help us. It is a pity. Obvious the McDonald's car was very, very well under dry conditions. If it had followed thus, I believe that it had been a great day for us. The boys did a great work and the car was very, very well. We had good millaje with the fuel and good rate. Later when it left the yellow, when the track began to get wet, in some places, and decided to recommence the race, knew that it was going to be difficult. I was first in discovering the slippery conditions and committed an error. I left in I recommence in place 14. It did not go very fast, but the car was right to the gravel. He was dissapointing, but it knew that the race was going to be long and I continued fighting by her. After that, the conditions were put difficult more and more. Suddenly, we were with the rims of rain and near the front. So it was seen far better. It only exceeded Robert to me cleanly. I left the door open. It was hoping that he did the same when in some point was a little more express behind him. But that was not what did. That is the unique reason for which ” was not contented with him.

Will Power: “ was to me my place of exit, so I had to do everything the other way around, trying to put the first speed. At the moment that I turned around, the third red lights estában ignited. Direct to the floor and I occurred whatever of which the lights would go out in any second. I believe that the reason by that I became paralyzed was because I disturb did not run. So I stagnated. I saw my mirrors. People happened to me. I thought that there would be a great accident. So I left and I kept my fuel. We finish – I believe that we were running in second by moments. The track is very ridiculous with the climate. She is completely dry and sunny in a part, later you arrive at the next curve and is raining. I occurred I spin a top. I believe that I returned in the end again. There was a great interchange like of five or six cars by the leadership. All in pits changed to the rain rims. The car was very well with the dunked ones. I believe that everything was reduced to as you ran because all had setup for dry conditions. The good thing of the Champ Car is that never you must darte by won. It is brilliant as it is. You can go one more a return back and return and finish in podio. They are very, very good races ”.
