I remember Senna dying. I was only a kid and he was my hero. Dunno who this guy is though.

We have had and still have a few good drivers in IndiCar, Stateside. Probably the most famous is Mansell. But Francetti, a Scotsman is up there and has won his share of IndiCar races.

As an aside, the shells for the cars are made, or certainly were until recently, made in Poole, Dorset!!!!

I do well at Trivial Pursuit too!!!!!

Dario Franchitti secured his 3rd title yesterday when the Vegas race was cancelled. The crash was horrific. RIP.
