20 years ago today Sebastien Bourdais won the 14th and final race of the 2006 Champ Car series. It was the final race for the Lola B2/00 chassis before it was replaced by a new designed built by Panoz.
The race was held at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, prior to its remodelling for F1’s return in 2015. Most of the corners were wider and quicker.
In previous years the cars ran through the Foro Sol stadium, much as F1 does today. However for 2006 the original, 180-degree Peraltada was restored, but with a tight chicane before it.
