	Sport \| If you want real wheel to wheel racing, forget formula one
		The US Cart series - or Champcars as it now wishes to be known - may be regarded as second division by formula one snobs but the fact that it produces better pure racing than just about any other single-seater category reflects the qualities that were on very public display here.
		Champcars have more suspension movement than the current generation of rock-hard formula one car and their aerodynamics enable them to slipstream one another to good effect.
		Slipstreaming is the technique whereby a car runs close to its rival in front, benefiting from the hole in the air created by the car ahead and allowing it to accelerate faster in a pocket of reduced drag.

		I think that you are getting confused with the Champcars which race in the Fedex CART Championship.
		Due to being turbocharged, Champcars are able to run lean and save fuel by reducing the amount of methanol/air being forced into each cylinder (turbo engines produce extra power on the principle of forced induction).
		Generally speaking, F1 engines are unable to regulate their fuel consumption to the same degree as a Champcar due to them being normally aspirated (non-forced induction).

		In Friday practice for the Formula One machinery back in June, the fastest time of the session was a 1:15.407, the slowest a 1:19.050.
		Bearing all these numbers in mind, yes, F1 cars are faster than ChampCars around a circuit such as Montreal, but at approximately four seconds a lap slower so far this weekend, the comparison of speeds has seen CART a lot closer to F1 pace than most would have imagined.
		The target time for CART will be a 1:17.934 — should this lap time be achieved, then in theory at least, a ChampCar would have the pace to qualify for a Grand Prix.
