Rob,
IRL cars are quite different of Champ Cars...
from chassis to engine both suppliers and specifications are not equal...
IRL cars are N/A and Champ Cars are Turbocharged.
IRL has output around 650HP.
Champ Cars has about 800-900HP.
for example, Champ cars could not race at the Texas Motor Speedway because of its banking and the speed... pilots feel nausea...
If you pay attention to an onboard camera of a F1 broadcasting, you see that the pilotīs hands do not make a "changing gear" movement using the pads behind wheels...
Oke thanks, and I'll see next week about the shifting, but I assume you're right.
Racing is life, anything that happens before or after is just waiting.
