The teams have 5 steering ratios to choose from, but the most agressive ratios, the best ones for the turns, are spooky on the bumps on the straights.

And these road courses, I assume, are pretty bumpy.

Figge has gone off at Turn 6.

Tracy has slowed; looks like he's out of fuel. Full course caution.

These are timed races so there's about 25 minutes to go.

Doornbos has pitted with everyone else under the caution, but now leads.

Still under caution, order is Doornbos from Jani, Servia, Gommendy, Power, Bourdais, Rahal and Tagliani. About 25 minutes to go, 79 laps completed.

Back to racing with 22 minutes left - Jani goes up the inside of Doornbos for the lead.

Transmission problems for Tagliani; Figge goes off the road (again).

Another caution, with about fifteen minutes left. A chance, perhaps, for Doornbos to get by Jani again?

Jani looks to have the advantage.

Yeah, Jani has been lightning fast off these rolling restarts all day. This one was no different.

Ten minutes left and Doornbos has gone into the lead! Another great pass into the hairpin.

Looks like the last remaining two seconds of Doornbos' power boost were very useful right there.

He's running away. The commentators here call him Bobby D.
