[SagarisGTB]

Why in the wide world of sports did he think that was a good idea?

There was a gap. If he doesn't go for the gap, he's no longer a racing driver.

There was a gap. If he doesn't go for the gap, he's no longer a racing driver.

There wasnt a gap, there was grass.

 

[Eva]

So I guess Vautier is the Stenhouse of INDY?

No. Vautier doesn't wreck, usually. He's just usually very inconsistent.

 

[GTPorsche]

Grass is not a racing surface.

 

[mustafur]

Vautier is good on Roadcourses, but that is where he should stay.

 

[nascarfan1400]

No. Vautier doesn't wreck, usually. He's just usually very inconsistent.

So hes the me of INDY

 

[mustafur]

There was a gap. If he doesn't go for the gap, he's no longer a racing driver.

Instead he is a racing driver watching the race.

 

[GTPorsche]

He tried to go to the apron and brake....

...where there's much less grip and a higher probability of 🤬 things up....

 

[SagarisGTB]

There wasnt a gap, there was grass.

Grass is not a racing surface.

The gap was there and he was alongside before he was forced onto the grass.

 

[GTPorsche]

The gap was there and he was alongside before he was forced onto the grass.

He wasn't even on the natural racing line. There was no gap.

 

[mustafur]

Well Karam is still on track, anything can happen.

 

[Eva]

So hes the me of INDY

Yeah. Only he gets paid.

 

[nascarfan1400]

How are we only halfway!? 0.o

 

[catamount39]

How are we only halfway!? 0.o

Reasons.

 

[GTPorsche]

Restart under review. I bet it's Karam.

 

[RACECAR]

There was a gap. If he doesn't go for the gap, he's no longer a racing driver.

How many times do I have to hear Senna's quote rehashed to justify a stupid divebomb?

You can be a racing driver without being stupid.

 

[spacecowboy73]

Wait a damn minute, he's a part-timer too?

They should just ban that moron and see to it he has no time in this series to 🤬 it up for anyone else.

Then they should just ban Karam then too.

 

[RACECAR]

Then they should just ban Karam then too.

Wouldn't mind that either, tired of wreckless morons.

 

[GTPorsche]

Karam won't be racing in Sonoma.

That's a large piece of debris.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

So I guess Vautier is the Stenhouse of INDY?

I'd say Sato fits that role better.

Whoa! Flying debris!

 

[spacecowboy73]

I also don't believe Senna was talking about oval racing.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Caution for a winglet

 

[SagarisGTB]

He wasn't even on the natural racing line. There was no gap.

He was on the track. That's enough.

I'm not condoning the move, but he was following the Senna ethos to a T.

 

[GTPorsche]

He was on the track. That's enough.

I'm not condoning the move, but he was following the Senna ethos to a T.

On the far inside, on an oval. That's not the appropriate racing line for any move. Let's not use a stupid excuse for an intentional divebomb from Senna to justify any more stupid moves.

 

[mustafur]

Car looks soo much better without the rear fender.

 

[mustafur]

This caution saved Karams stupid strategy.

 

[ukfan758]

There was a gap. If he doesn't go for the gap, he's no longer a racing driver.

This isn't short track dirt racing... a driver can get killed pulling off moves like that in open wheel cars.

 

[Furinkazen]

Jakes penalised. What for?

 

[Eva]

Good to see Honda doing well.

 

[catamount39]

Carpenter doing stupid blocking, Vautier dive bombing like an idiot and Karam did a stupid call on strategy. Is there something in the water?
