Gentlemen, Takuma Sato is now, at long last, an IndyCar race winner.
Re: IndyCar 2013
Takuma's first win in a professional motor race since Macau in 2001. That's a long time!
Re: IndyCar 2013
That is indeed a huge gap!
You have to wonder, though, if that first win is a sign of things to come or yet another instance of too little, too late. He looks very mature compared to the past but that's no wonder: he's 36. He can't have that many years left in top-level motorsport.

Re: IndyCar 2013
We'll see how he goes for the rest of the season I guess. Last season he was 35 and still crashed most races...
Re: IndyCar 2013
Indeed, but he was unlucky on occasion. Who wasn't gutted at his Indy500 glory shot?
For this year, I want the mayor of Hinchtown to win

Re: IndyCar 2013
It was such a perfect example of Sato being Sato, though. He would have had Franchitti on the back straight, he just needed to make him go defensive into turn 1. Instead he commited himself to an unreasonable move and - predictably enough - ended up in the wall.phil1993 wrote:Indeed, but he was unlucky on occasion. Who wasn't gutted at his Indy500 glory shot?
Re: IndyCar 2013
Sato came very close to claiming a second straight victory. Having clung onto a hard-earned lead for the final 15 laps, he was unable to stop the fast-charging Hinchcliffe from overtaking him in the very last corner. Awesome end to an eventful race!
EDIT: amazingly, though, it seems that Sato is now leading the championship.

Re: IndyCar 2013
That was an awesome finish. I'm glad Marco made the podium.

The best drivers are all in Row 6. Sato for the win!

12 minutes to the green flag!
