Justin Wilson took his first ChampCar win of the season during the series second European race at Assen in Holland. Wilson beat Sebastian Bourdais away from the line and was never really headed for the rest of the race.

Bourdais, and others, seemed to suffer from problems with a mal-functioning “power-to-pass” button and the race director instructed that it not be used; making overtaking vitually impossible on the tight fast track. A rare mistake by Bourdais, (stalling on a pit stop), further hampered his chances. Local favorite Robert Doornbos’s Minardi team miscalculated on fuel meaning a last minute pit stop dropped him to the back of the pack and a lowly 13th place finish.

The Top 10 finishers were:

1.  Justin Wilson (RuSPORT)
2.  Jan Heylen (Conquest)
3.  Bruno Junqueira (Dale Coyne)
4.  Tristan Gommendy (PKV)
5.  Neel Jani (PKV)
6.  Simon Pagenaud (Team Australia)
7.  S.Bourdais (Newman/Haas/Lanigan)
8.  Oriol Servia (Forsythe Championship)
9.  Graham Rahal (Newman/Haas/Lanigan)
10.  Ryan Dalziel (Pacific Coast Motorsports)
