''I am happy right now to be driving in the Champ Car World Series'' Timo Glock
source: Rocketsports Racing The series is very competitive and has some of the best drivers in the world. The race events are hard, in the sense that you have to be on the edge and give over 100% every time you roll out of the pit lane. I think that Champ Car has found a great mix between road, street, and oval courses. The cities, like Long Beach, Toronto, Cleveland, Montreal, and Australia, are great places to go racing and have very enthusiastic fans. They are well organized events that turn into a great success, and that is the main requirement for a good show. I am not 100% satisfied with how the season is going so far for me because after the pre-season testing I was sure that we had a chance to be in the top five every race weekend. I have learned though, that testing and racing are two entirely different things. My first event with Rocketsports was in Long Beach. I started and finished sixth, being the top rookie of the weekend. That was a great feeling, I felt comfortable with the way things went and really looked forward to seeing an even better result in the next race. Then things went in the wrong direction for us starting with the Milwaukee test in May. It was the first time that I was running on an oval, so I was trying to get a good feel for it. Pushing hard, like I always try to do - especially in my learning stages, I backed the #8 DHL Global Mail Lola into the wall hard. Obviously, I damaged my car, while hurting myself pretty good. With bruises and a lot of pain, not to mention the broken collar bone, I scared myself a bit and wondered how long it would take to heal from this knowing the second race of the season was less than two weeks away.
