Paul Tracy looks back at his race weekends in Portland and Cleveland, where his new Forsythe Racing teammate shone while he himself struggled. He also looks ahead to this weekend at Toronto
Sorry if these columns for autosport.com aren't exactly the Prozac of auto racing journalism, but our tale of disaster continued in Champ Car rounds five and six. Like I told you last time, Portland isn't one of my best tracks. I've never won there, and only taken one pole there. Even so, I didn't expect things to go so badly that I'd finish seventh. But when I tell you it went better than Cleveland, you get the picture.
At Portland I was just struggling the whole weekend with lack of grip, which is why we ended up qualifying tenth, and in the race I was struggling with tyre wear issues, pretty much throughout.
