Patrick Carpentier comment after the Mexican race
source: champcarworldseries.com Patrick Carpentier finished in 6th place and on the lead lap, gaining sufficient additional championship points to place him a very creditable 3rd in the Champ Car 2004 World Series standings. "I'm very happy to have made up places in this last race of the year and to have finished 3rd in the Championship - that was my goal today. I was not feeling too well yesterday and this morning and I wasn't sure how I would physically last during the race here in the Mexican heat ... but when Paul went backwards after his early contact that took some of the pressure off me in terms of the championship. My car was excellent today, with the Ford Cosworth engine giving me good power and my Bridgestone tires held on really well all day - I was running in the low '89s during the race - thank you Ford and Bridgestone for a great year. And thank you Mexico for an incredible welcome and a fantastic event!" Comments from the other 2 Forsythe Racing teammates
