INDYCAR 2023

Infoanon

Michael Kertscher , president of Road America was non too pleased with Will Powers comment about the state of the circuit on Saturday.

Too show his displeasure he ordered one of the pungent smelling trucks being used to empty the tracks 'facilities ' to be parked outside Wills motor home.

The keys to the truck were left in the ignition and Will seeing the funny side took the opportunity to drive the truck and park it in front of Scott Dixons motor home !

All friends at the end of the day !

His interview about it, he thought failure of brakes

Was critical of the drop in level at the edge of the track, run off at a lower level, which means the car flies once it leaves the track.

Eh, you get the drift. Apparently the edit window is only 24 hours too, so I can't fix it 🤷

Charlie-Bravo

Well done Christian Lungaard. Amazing race. Played out a good strategy.

Grosjean must pay for a seat?

He should retire before he does harm to himself or others

DHL are Andretti's sponsor and Grosjean is out of contract at the end of the season, not a chance with all of these incidents that he will kept on there or signed by another Indycar team, I can see him in WEC or IMSA next season

TheChrisD

Rain is currently delaying the start of qualifying.

🟥 INDY NXT race has been pushed back to 00:30am.

Charlie-Bravo

Looking like qualifying getting going in a few minutes.

Charlie-Bravo

Such a long run on green flag. Amazing racing happening on this short track. Caution is now out for Rahal hitting the wall. He's ok.

TheChrisD

Penske reigns supreme at Iowa again. Same tomorrow? 🙄

NXT race finally gets underway in 20 minutes on Mix.

Brian CivilEng

Bit disappointed with that race, Newgarden win as expected, very few overtakes and Herta's race over from the get-go. Not what I look for in my Indycar!

I will of course be watching again tonight.

Ohmeha

It's going to be hard to see much of a difference taking shape in tonight's second race unless something out of the blue like Newgarden's mechanical failure resulting in late crash in last seasons 2nd race

Newgarden and the Penske team must giving a nudge to Roger to get more oval races on the schedule as Palou/Ganassi' runaway championship may not have been such a runaway. Milwaukee might be back next season but that looks to be about it

Brian CivilEng

I still miss my introduction to oval racing, Nazareth speedway in Pennsylvania. The track is sadly no longer in existence.

Half five on Sunday? Why did I think this was one I needed to stay up late for.

Charlie-Bravo

Great, motor racing to fill the gap of the F1 break! Nice! 😁

In previous years it was run later in the day. 2021 the race started at 4:45pm Central (10:45pm here) and of course had those red flags; while last year it was originally intended to start at 2:30pm Central (8:30pm here) before being delayed by US lightning policy.

I'm rooting for Devin DeFrancesco's car this weekend WOOOOOOO!

FP2 is wet

Ohmeha

Practice got a reduced 30 minute earlier and now Qualifying now indefinitely delayed. Weather looking equally as abysmal tomorrow not looking good

It's incredible Indycar have awarded street races to cities who have terrible drainage and then from next season award them the season finale at an even shorter mickey mouse layout

so both Nascar and Indycar for the double header again. Massive weekend if attending in person. Certainly will make it easy catching all races on your favourite sports channels.

TheChrisD

Final Practice has been added to the Sky Sports F1 schedule.

TheChrisD

Alright, who here had Graham on pole?

Charlie-Bravo

Eh, not me.

Indy NXT race coming up at 9.50pm. Nice to have a race to watch on a Friday evening to start the weekend!
