Canadian Player's/Forsythe teammates, Patrick Carpentier and Paul Tracy, finished 1st & 3rd respectively, in the CART "Grand Prix of Monterey" at Laguna Seca Raceway, Monterey, California.
Leading from start to finish, Carpentier held off Bruno Junqueira for his fourth Champ Car victory. The winner got a break Saturday when CART disallowed Michel Jourdain's pole-winning effort, declaring his car underweight and putting Carpentier in the No. 1 spot.
The bluffing game played out Sunday with some help from teammate Paul Tracy. Tracy raced a few car lengths behind his teammate at the outset, but could not get past him. Tracy later tried to make a move around his teammate as the two left a pit stop 1-2 on the 48th lap, but had to lock up his front brakes to avoid a collision. With Junqueira bearing down on him, Tracy slipped off course in the 56th lap, and Junqueira took over second place for good.
