Congratulations Taku!
After all the bad luck, finally the podium came by starting from the back of the grid!
But thats what Indy is, everything is possible...

Dear everyone
Taku has achieved a fantastic podium position!
The following is extra information for you.

● FAST FACTS: (extract from RLLR news release)
After starting 25th, Sato overtook four cars on the opening lap but was challenged by a pit speed penalty after his first stop that dropped him to the back again. Once a caution came out the effect was negated. Later he jumped from 19th to 11th on a restart that spun Dario Franchitti around and involved many cars. After he made his second stop, he came out in 16th place and began to pass cars one at a time. He worked his way up to second place before his final pit stop on green Lap 54 of 75 and returned to the track in 12th and worked his way forward as others pitted. On the restart with seven laps to go, he dashed on the inside and passed the cars of Franchitti and Helio Castroneves in Turn 1 for third place. Behind him, there was another multi-car accident that brought out the final caution. It retuned to green on Lap 71 and he held the position to earn his best series finish of third place... Is Sato’s first season at RLL and third in IndyCar… Sato led two of the first three races but failed to finish due to mechanical failure (St. Pete & Barber) and “avoidable contact” by Hunter-Reay (Long Beach) on the final lap en route to a career best finish of third... Moved from a 16th-place rank in series points to seventh with 83.

I have seen the race and i wonder.
First i have seen the places in practice
and then i have seen race.
I was wondering that Taku is so competitive.
Watch these race was just gratifying until the car was running.
But the technology devil has found Takus car.
Next race will be better.
I'm sure you'l find the right setup for the next Track.
Good luck for next race.
On sunday the 8th April two friends and me are going to a carting track.
We drive VT 400 Honda fired Cart with
27 horsepower.
That will be great fun.
