I'm looking forward to Indy for the sole reason the cars might actually look like decent.

I'm just afraid oval racing has gone into an extremely boring direction, based on last season at least. Too hard to follow behind another car in draft, and too much fuel saving on the triple crown ovals...

Maybe in NASCAR or touring cars. :lol: Rubbing in open wheelers is not racing, it's another 🤬 Safety Car! :lol:

Only because of north American race directors, what they need to understand is its possible to have a localized yellow flag without a safety car, and debris doesn't need a safety car either, unless it is a whole front wing, for just end bits they should stay green,

They have never had intermediates. CART did though.

That must have been what I remembered. I don't understand the logic behind not having intermediates. You usually can't go straight from wets to dries. The track on Sunday was too wet in places for dry tires, but wets would have gotten destroyed quick. I hope they fix this, but like everything else with Indycar, I'm not holding my breath. :lol:
 
I don't think there is a need for intermediates. The track conditions after a few laps where too dry for an intermediate tire, only the last turn and the back straight had some patches of water. In general the drivers were too aggressive too soon, you have too follow the dry line otherwise you will spin. But it was clear the slicks were the right choice, just too many drivers making silly errors. If you watched the guys at the front or the ones with experience you saw how they made the slicks work and gain huge time. The ones with little experience in those conditions were making the mistakes and guessing the yellows.

There is a need for them, so that their is a happy medium from a pure slick to a full wet.

Chevy teams have removed the wing on a stick from the front wing for LB.👍

After two races with as much shrapnel as a battlefield, I think that was a good decision to remove the top kick.
 
Rocky Moran era was short and only cost Coyne a new rear wing assembly,Conor Daly will take over the 18 for Moran who broke his thumb after contact with Monuz.
 
Now they actually got a driver that can drive a car!

He won't be super competitive but anything is better than Dracone... Which Moran was until he broke his finger since he was immediately 1.5 seconds faster than. Only issue is the Conor has no sponsorship money.
 
Well 33 can race, lets hope the ones that make it in actually run the full length and have none of that start "n" park bs!
 
Charlie Kimball can't go one race without being hit by something.

Edit: The moving chicane nearly put Hinchcliffe in the wall.

Not sure what you're saying "good" about.

Coletti and Daly set the fastest laps of the race today. Only problem is they were both in the back of the field for all of it.
 
I'm fed up with wingecliffe, how he still is allowed go kart rental is beyond me,
