WEST KINGSDOWN, England (AP) - Rookie Sebastien Bourdais won the London Champ Car Trophy at Brands Hatch on Monday, ending Canadian Paul Tracy's string of three consecutive wins.

Doh! Tracy came 17th out of 19 after his engine caught fire on the 118th lap. However, he still leads the overall standings by 11 points from Bourdais. The win should give Bourdais confidence enough that the shananigans of his first two races shouldn't be repeated, which is bad news for everybody else on the circuit.

I actually "watched" this race on Cart.com's automatic online timer, which was surprisingly effective. I find that quite often these live update services don't really perform very well, so it was nice to see one that does.
