Haven't seen it mentioned before, the #7 Spyder was using aero wheels last night during practice. I haven't seen the practice results, or trap times to ascertain if they made a difference. The 5 and 6 cars had standard wheels.

Green Challenge - WTF?
The first 1/3 of the program was pretty good. But then they got into that "Green Challenge" Gimme a friggin break. I don't want enviro-whacko's mixed in with my racing!
What's next, a prototype sponsored by some tofu company! I don't give a damn about the "carbon footprint" of a race team. Hell, I'd club a baby seal for more horsepower. What's next? Is Speed gonna have Al Gore in the broadcast booth?
Keep tofu out of racing!

Three Wheelin'
I assume they are similar to the device that is on the exterior of F1 car wheels.

I TiVO'ed that last night and gotta tell you I was pretty disappointed.
The first 1/3 of the program was pretty good. But then they got into that "Green Challenge" Gimme a friggin break. I don't want enviro-whacko's mixed in with my racing! What's next, a prototype sponsored by some tofu company!

Holy crap that was fun to watch. All the categories (except GT1 of course). Seeing these guys on the total edge on turn 1 is really fun. I hope they stream qualifying every race next year. Bummer about the Peugot. I was hoping McNish was going to hold on. But....you got to give it to them they really tried and it came down to the last lap.

Sorry I missed the qualifying. Spyders, 1, 2, & 3... Too bad the Dyson guys can't quite get the speed, though.
Brabham 1.3 seconds off qualifying pace? Did he run race trim?
