Australian Will Power (#5 Team Australia) was able to navigate both wet and dry conditions over the weekend to claim his second career win in the Champ Car World Series when he collected honours during the Steelback Grand Prix of Toronto.

The changing conditions also changed the landscape of the championship as Robert Doornbos (#14 Minardi Team USA) assumed the top spot from Sebastien Bourdais (#1 Newman/Haas Lanigan Racing) after finishing sixth.

On lap 68 Doornbos and Bourdais were running together and made contact entering Turn 3, both cars ended up against the tyres, but the three-time defending champ Bourdais got the worst of the incident having to retire from the race ninth, while Doornbos only lost a lap to the field.

The poor result for Bourdais dropped him to third in the Championship standings just three points out of the lead.
