Wow, just witnessed another historic making for woman in the world of open wheel racing on ESPN classic! Just like done watching da Fast and Furious, that sensation of speed, reliability and performance by Honda was incredible! Indy 300 season is underway and the game that I just checked out is happening live in Japan, Twing Ring Motegi which is an oval raceway similar to the NASCAR raceways in united states with about 1.5 miles each lap for total of 200 laps. So endurance, persistent, pit stops, speed, performance, energy conservation, driver technicality and backing by Honda's racing engine all can decide which driver can come out on top at this raceway.
Well, cut to the chase... it was all a fairly close and unpredictable race as near top 5 position race cars exchanged positions over and over as their major strategy was to CONSERVE enough ethonal fuel till the end of race after the suppose final pit stops at near 160/200 laps. Well, at the end, Danica Patrick(Honda's Andretti Green Racing & Motorola Team) took to lead by having conserved enough fuel earlier by not running on top speed and still keeping her in the contention, until leaders one by one having no choice but to pit stop for final 5 laps...that is when she took over! Man, this is really incredible not just for her but for the historical moment of woman making another mark on this top racing world of IndyCar Series! You know what, she is the HOTTEST race car driver ever! Enough of me talking, lets support Danica and her upcoming races, wish her the best and best for the success! Go Danica Patrick, Andretti Green Racing and Honda! I will post more of Danica Patrick's victory race video @ Motegi in coming posts.
