Yeah, I knew that. 'just tired of hyping things up....they announced " 'Haven't had a Mexican winner in fifteen years since Adrian Fernandez" like it means something special one way or the other...... :whistling:

But to use ti as hype's my point.

I don't know about the rest, but I'm watching an auto race driven by race car drivers....not an international celebrity pageant..... ;)

The first 1/4 was fairly racey, but it petered out after that. Stands to reason as well that with a race tomorrow that people wanted to keep their noses clean.

Dixon has sometimes just boringly consistency'ed his way to titles, but he's certainly deserving this one.

Sato would have won that though if it wasn't for that pit problem.

Watched a Hungarian feed, so lacking info on the race. But was that another NASCAR traction compound on the track that people were avoiding in the corners?

I don't think so, it wasn't mentioned during the Swedish feed and no one elsewhere on the internet wrote about it. I think it was marbles.
