Despite the fact we had 11 winners in 20 races and 22 drivers having made at least a fourth place over the course of the year, this was not by far one of the best seasons in the category's history. At times, CART looked like an amateur neighborhood racing organization. Two races were canceled in the year (Rio and Texas), another 9 had their end shortened due to lack of time or simply because it was too dark to resume racing, many races decided by fuel economy and endless yellow flag sequences, engine manufacturer strike in one racing, ESPN's ending their broadcast contract at the end of the year, driver being unfairly punished for pointing out failures in the race direction, many sponsors leaving the category, empty stands on race days and Penske Team leaving CART by the end of the season. It is possible to feel as the year goes by a growing feeling that the category's glory days were numbered. Gil de Ferran was again the champion, but it wasn't a remarkable run (perhaps only in his victory at Rockingham). There were actually some pretty bad times, especially in the first half of the year. In that sense, Kenny Brack was the best driver of the season. Although he is also partly to blame for the loss. He was by far the driver who most led and made more poles. But he contributed to the implosion of the Rahal as well: he crashed twice with his teammate in the season, announced his departure from the team in the middle of the year, team owner Bobby Rahal was fired from Jaguar in the middle of the year and when he returned things got worse. Other than that, in terms of drivers, few highlights. Scott Dixon did very well considering the equipment he had. Castroneves never managed to keep momentum, Franchitti had only glimpses. Ganassi, Patrick and Newmann Haas, all with Brazilian drivers and Toyota engines lacked consistency. Alex Zanardi had a pretty dismal comeback. Ironically, in the only race where he actually did well, he had his accident. Montoya's departure also left a feeling of a championship without its biggest star. I must recognize that watching again the end of the season in Fontana brought me a feeling of sadness. The CART bubble burst that year, and American open wheel racing would face a much smaller reality in the years to come.
@tomwells809310 ай бұрын
Everything you said was pretty much spot on. The only issue I have is that Kenny Brack was taken out by Papis both times. He was not to blame at all. They had the fastest car at Michigan and he would have taken the title to the last race if Max wasn't Mad lol. Sad to see CART implode - bad decisions, poor leadership and not having long term goals was awful to see. They had the most exciting racing series in the world from the early 90s and completely threw it away.

I mean this one wasn't on them: the start was delayed because of rain, they ended up running a compressed schedule to try and get everything in; had a time where they knew they couldn't run past and rather than arbitrarily throwing the red flag at that point they gave teams a lap target to work to so they could plan their strategies. If anything that's the most sensible way of doing things - much smarter than, say, Surfers 2002 where they ran five laps longer to ensure that a 2003 CART driver and team won the race before coming up with a BS reason to justify doing that.
