Indyslotcar 2016 Tournament Bracket

Kamikawa Wins Indyslotcar March Madness tournament!
In the spirit of the NCAA basketball tournament I put together a bracket of 32 Indyslotcar drivers.

Seeding was based on:
1. Championships
2. Race wins
3. Heat wins
4. Finals
5. Pole positions
In this tournament there are four divisions:
Zanardi, Montoya, Vasser, Dixon.
A driver advances based on the performance of the basketball team in the 2016 tournament.
The highest seed in the basketball division corresponds with the highest seed in the Indyslotcar bracket. 
Below is the original tournament bracket with results below:
Until the end of the tournament, it's not bad being in the pits (or on the court)!
