So we've got all of our employees there and they've been working over at the Vision race shop for about a week now. So they're all getting on very well together. It's great collaboration between all levels of the team. So I think we're all focused on trying to get the best out of this opportunity.
Q:
Paul, there was a lot of talk prior to the first race at Homestead about the teams that were being integrated into the series from the former Champ Car World Series and their competitive nature - and Graham goes out and wins the first non-oval event at St Pete. You've been able to sit back and be a bit of an observer here the last few months. Have you been surprised at all at seemingly how quickly some of those teams have gotten competitive in the new equipment?
PT:
I think, obviously, the road courses and street courses are an easier transition because that's what the Champ Car teams specialise in doing. The mile-and-a-half stuff, the Champ Car teams are at a five-year disadvantage to Andretti Green and Ganassi and Penske and Vision, where they have experience with the car, knowledge with the car. They have hundreds of hours of wind tunnel time and just fine-tuning the machine for that type of venue, which is a venue that Champ Car had gotten away from in the last three years.
So, from that standpoint, I think St Pete was a good race for transitional teams. It was a track that we had competed at before. And now, going back, a couple of the teams did well at Watkins Glen on an unfamiliar circuit to Champ Car transition teams.
But now, you know, this coming weekend, a lot of the Champ Car teams have raced at Mid-Ohio, we've raced at Edmonton. I think you'll see a pretty good surge in competitiveness from a lot of the top teams. KV and Newman/Haas and HVM. I think they'll be pretty competitive at Mid-Ohio and Edmonton.
Q:
Tony, you talked a few weeks ago, maybe you'd like to try to do three or four races with PT. Is his contingent on how he's doing this weekend and would Subway be with him for more than one race?
TG:
Right now what's been contemplated is a one-race programme. Obviously, we can expand on that as time and resources permit. We did push this awfully close to being able to get done in time for Edmonton.
