16th October 2013, 16:15 at 4:15 pm #243201SPParticipantSince the live coverage starts on BT Sport 2 at 1.30am on Sunday, you might want to catch the re-run at 5.30pm on ESPN.

19th October 2013, 6:22 at 6:22 am #243205sushant008Participant@sigman1998 – Apparently he is not feeling good enough to race on OVALS!

19th October 2013, 11:03 at 11:03 am #243207SPParticipantCould be linked to the Venezuelan government’s investigation into currency fraud by race drivers. Sounds like Maldonado is involved judging by the $66 million quoted here: http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/10/18/us-venezuela-currency-idUSBRE99H03220131018
20th October 2013, 8:19 at 8:19 am #243208the_sigmanParticipantPower was a contender for the championship for the past few years, but he was messing up in the finale. Now that he is not a contender, he made the perfect finale. Power is getting stressed really easily.

I’ll be glad to see the back of this racing year – too many lives lost, too many injuries and, apart from Indycar, the racing hasn’t been that great.
Good to hear Justin is basically okay. I wonder who’s quicker on crutches – him or Dario?
20th October 2013, 15:11 at 3:11 pm #243211SPParticipantNot sure that comparison is appropriate, the chassis remained intact. If anything, perhaps too intact, because the 60+ Gs were partially transferred to the cockpit area.
20th October 2013, 19:24 at 7:24 pm #243212Euro BrunParticipantGood end to a very competative season. Kinda bizarre that Dixon was the only Honda entrant left at the end of the race.
Also, i bet Power is kicking himself that he finally managed a win at the end of the season, but only when there was nothing at stake.20th October 2013, 23:27 at 11:27 pm #243213jsw11984ParticipantWOO!!! Go Kiwi’s!!!
On a related note, whats the deal with the pink flag?
