Mexico City Friday Tidbits 3

All the main straight grandstand seats are sold out for Sunday's Champ Car season finale in Mexico City. As a result they have opened up the first turn grandstands and they hope to fill them up as well. Ticket sales are on par with last year, but not what they once were in the early years here in Mexico City. Our Mexican sources tell us there will be far more people here this weekend for the Champ Car race than there was for the NASCAR race back in March…..The 2-seat Minardi F1 Champ Car has had a lot of track time this morning, more than usual……Sebastien Bourdais and Paul Tracy are the early leaders in morning practice.
