Mainly carried on BT'S ESPN, though the Indy 500 was on BT Sports 2 who made a mess of a broadcast

Stream started for Houston Race 1. Random rain shower just very recently, so the race might have a standing start on wets :pac:

TheChrisD · 28-06-2014 10:52pm

Wow, you couldn't have predicted that result even if you'd assigned the finishing positions by drawing lots.

Infoanon · 29-06-2014 1:06pm

Amazing what a little rain can do ! Felt sorry for Sato, his move on Pagenaud was outstanding! ! Who was driving Will Power and Scott Dixons cars - so many mistakes, hopefully the real Will and Scott will return for tonight's 2nd race.
Thought Montoya would pull off the win and if Rahal had not crashed into Tony Kanann on the final restart probably woukd have .

Roll on Race 2 tonight !

Marco could be in trouble after putting Wilson into the wall, already on probation after yesterday's shanigans.

Update : no action to be taken - fantastic racing by the way

Carlos Huertas, winner of the first race in Heuston, has retained his win despite his car being found to infringe technical regulations relating to the wings and fuel cell capacity.

This is the second time that a Dale Coyne winning car has been found to infringe the regulations.

Nascar takes a similar stance when a winning car is found to be outside the regulations - as for F1s approach....see Ferrari/ Malaysia, Alonso/ Singapore

Juan Pablo Montoya is on pole for tomorrow's Pocono 500, Will Power lines up second, race on at 5pm on BT Sports 2

TheChrisD · 13-07-2014 1:46am

Only 39 laps into the Iowa 300, and red-flagged due to rain...

TheChrisD · 19-07-2014 11:43pm

Sébastien Bourdais right now:

acquiescefc · 20-07-2014 12:16am

New update from @IndyCar: Race 1, 75 laps, based on Sat qual order, start at 10:30am. Race 2, 4:15 start, 75 laps, start otder=Entrant pts

TheChrisD · 20-07-2014 3:41pm

Race 1 is (finally) green!

And we barely get through half a lap and it's red flagged again!

20-07-2014 5:13pm

It's like being in a time-warp to the Champcar days, textbook Bourdais.

TheChrisD · 20-07-2014 8:08pm

Still don't understand why the second race is shortened. I mean, they barely moved the second race relative to the original schedule, dunno why they need to lop 20 laps off of the distance.

Drivers committee decision apparently

Committee of three though, which is the main problem. They never consulted the other 20 drivers.

nice to see some proper wet running for indycar

Infoanon · 20-07-2014 10:58pm

Not a great weekend for Indycar - too many yellows today, hopefully back to some real racing at Mid Ohio in 2 weeks time,ridiculous to think only 4 rounds left of the 2014 season.

acquiescefc · 23-07-2014 12:00am

Not sure if youve seen this. Iowa with no commentary.. Sounds awesome.

Infoanon · 24-08-2014 7:47pm

Penultimate round tonight from Sonoma - Will Power on pole but Helio not far behind.

No damage following this mornings earthquake.

9.30pm on ESPN

Charlie-Bravo · 24-08-2014 7:54pm

Is Sonoma the same road track Nascar runs on?

different layout

Mikhail Aleshin is listed in a stable condition with multiple injuries following a high speed crash during final practice for the Fontana 500.

Mikhails car was T-boned by Charlie Kimballs car when Mikhail spun. Charlie was uninjured.

Tonight's Fontana 500 is the last race of the Indycar season, its a double pointer with current points leader Will Power starting on the back row and second placed Helio Castro Neves starting from pole.Simone Pagenaud, Mikhail Aleshin s team mate could also win the championship.

Will Power has been runner up twice and if double points were not available he would effectively be champion.

TheChrisD · 31-08-2014 2:28am

Just over an hour to the green flag at Fontana.

I'm annoyed that I finished off my stash of Lucozade before tonight

31-08-2014 2:28am

I'm annoyed I've started drinking my mam's Bacardi now. :P Gonna be a late one, it'll be nice to watch the sun set there and the sun rise here though. :pac:

31-08-2014 2:46am

3.30 for green flag then?

31-08-2014 3:34am

Missed the first 20 laps, the last 4 have still been good.

31-08-2014 5:20am

Great race so far. Power deserves the win with that kind of driving.

TheChrisD · 31-08-2014 7:10am

Let's see, Lap 95 I gave up the ghost of trying to watch at the desk, so went to bed and was watching on mobile. Dunno when I nodded off, but I was awake for Carpenter's drive-through, asleep for the yellow, awake again when Helio got his drive-through; and then... well I guess I must have passed out until the podium celebration

Infoanon · 07-09-2014 10:52am

Will Power finally champion,4th time lucky !, a deserved winner and definitely the driver of the season.

Tony Kanann winning the finale was the icing on the cake.

The disappointment - its 6 months until the next race - this is what happens when you listen to consultants !

The only action of winter shall be movement in the driver market , hopefully Hinch can get the sponsorship to stay at Andretti.
