Only 17 cars on the grid after Team Astromega's Van Hoydonk has found sponsorship problems, the team is hoping to find a replacement driver in time for the next round at Monaco. My o money is on Weirdheim to win.

Sounds like it was a good race, if not a tad predictable. Good to see Towsend Bell scoring his first points of the season.
