Indian Grand Prix: The winner of this race will have a guaranteed spot in the World Finals and the Indian tracks are known for being fast and dangerous. If you’re looking for action and controversy you’ll undoubtedly find it here.
Singapore Grand Prix: Most of us can’t afford a flight and tickets to the SGP but this race often has a bigger impact than fans think. Often Singapore can knock out on-the-line drivers and cast the draws for the rest of the year.
Baltimore Grand Prix: You’ve actually got a good chance of getting this race on TV every year within the US and though 2011′s has already been decided next year’s is sure to be just as contentious and loud. Baltimore is a fast track and there’s always a crash or two.

Other than this, they are going to have to have the natural ability and skill level, which is required to race at such a high level of competition, and they are going to be required to have the level of competition, which they are always looking to take the title. Racers at this level are not able to make mistakes, and they are not able to try to make up for a small error they make on the track during a big race. So, in order to compete at this level, the driver has to be well aware of the race, the other drivers, and what they are required to do, in order to win a race at this level of competition. So, other than having the skill and dedication, a driver really has to be willing to put in the time, and know what is required of them, to compete at such high levels of competition, against other world class dirvers in the series.

This year it has been a quick course for the drivers, one on how to drive in the Edmonton Indy Car Series. Nothing is more frustrating so far than the weather that is after the eventful racing days as they are beginning. Drivers and crews had to bide their time waiting in the downpour of rain, but others found out the problems that can occur from water weight when it disrupts or tears their racing awning and all their rain protection.

Rain has decreased the amount of practice time and laps for all competition car drivers. The current schedule will be tighter and less timely than anyone out there had anticipated. One practice before qualifying for any race is very rarely enough familiarity with the track, time changes or to find the proper equipment setup. Drivers want to get a feel for how water is going to alter the navigation of the racing course. There is a lot of fun and anxious energy as drivers prepare to navigate the quick corners on the track. Lots of action is to be expected and fans are more than ready for it to begin.
