Action around the world, Part II

The Elkhart Lake Champ Car event witnessed one other important result which we omitted to mention yesterday. Team Australia's Simon Pagenaud claimed the Champ Car Atlantic Championship when his championship rival Graham Rahal retired with an electrical problem after six laps. Pagenaud was later taken out of the race in a collision with James Hinchclifffe but the Frenchman had sufficient points to claim the title nonetheless.
