    That bridge they go over and back at 180mph really is spectacularly nuts on so many levels

    Not sure if this mostly bumpy tight circuit is going to be good for overtaking with 27 cars entered should be incident packed



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,684 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


    Race this evening should be interesting. Everything getting bottled into the triangle after the run over the bridge, then back across for a mad wide left turn. It'll be messy in parts, but the skill involved getting through that triangle part is something else.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,684 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo

    Track looks nuts



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,638 ✭✭✭deafroadrunner


    good start by grojean. track is nuts



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,369 ✭✭✭Rossi IRL


    Ericcson crashing under yellow

    Luckily it wasn't worse


    Both cars put debris all over the track

    These restarts are getting comical

    That was awfully silly from Power



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,638 ✭✭✭deafroadrunner


    ah lads.

    madness



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,684 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


    This is nuts. Not one decent racing lap yet.

    Lolz... Nothing like a wide roadway to have two way across.

    Herta is such a good racer. He'd be great in F1 if any team bothered to look outside the driver academies!

    Ericsson now leading after going airborne earlier



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,684 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


    And now crazy moves by Power resulting in pain for his teammate. Hard to say if Herta will win this. It could be a bit of luck for someone else how things are going.

    This track is completely unsuitable for racing. Must have had 40 laps under yellow and 5 laps actually racing, absolutely ridiculous.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,638 ✭✭✭deafroadrunner


    This is actually getting ridiculous I don't know how much more of this I can watch. I've work in the morning.



  • Posts: 25,611 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I'm gonna blame the drivers. See the same crap in F1 where they won't take any responsibility.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,638 ✭✭✭deafroadrunner


    Herta is ridiculously quick



  • Posts: 25,611 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    It's like Williams' best driver back in the day.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 574 ✭✭✭ro_chez


    reminds me of Senna and Mansell at Monaco 92 the way Herta is right up his arse in the slow corners



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,638 ✭✭✭deafroadrunner


    nooooooo



  • Posts: 25,611 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Ah Jayyysis.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 574 ✭✭✭ro_chez


    holy ****!



  • Posts: 25,611 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Shnakey ould Dixon in 2nd for the restart. :P Should leave Ericsson OK for fuel though.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,638 ✭✭✭deafroadrunner


    gutted for herta



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,684 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


    I hope Ericsson doesn't need fuel gifting Dixon a win. Teammates 😔

    For all his speed and ability that right there is why Herta isn't a regular race winner and championship challenger. Look at Dixon, boxing clever the whole time and collecting points every race. Hopefully Herta will learn as he could definitely be a future champion.



  • Posts: 25,611 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I think it's the lack of inevitability that makes IndyCar so exciting. It's rare I feel feelings these days but a couple of times I felt properly excited during that race.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,684 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


    He's young, and fast. Maybe not this year, but he'll be a champion. And fair to Ericsson.


    I think Ericsson hit me.

    Felt so sorry for Rossi. Having an awful year and anytime he looks competitive something happens like what O'Ward did last night.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,044 ✭✭✭Ohmeha


    That track is a trainwreck really horrible race to watch with endless caution periods. The location and attendance shows the race has huge potential but it won't survive if there's another mess like that next year so major reconfiguration of the track is needed

    Alex Palou has his first real bad weekend this season and still quietly goes about his business to secure a very important 7th place to edge him closer to the title



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,672 ✭✭✭TheChrisD


    Officially 33/80 were under caution. That counter only includes laps which were entirely under yellow though.

    Back to Indy this weekend, bunking in with NASCAR for another combination weekend like there was last year. Also, we will see 28 cars this weekend with every car from last week, plus the return of Top Gun Racing with RC Enerson. One other key change in the lineup is a little known Danish driver making his debut 🤔

    Schedule

    Friday 13th

    • Practice — 8pm (Sky F1)
    • Qualifying — Midnight (Sky F1) [abridged format omitting the Fast Six]

    Saturday 14th

    • Warmup — 2pm
    • Race — 5:30pm (Sky F1)
    • Green flag — unsure if it's 5:45pm or 6pm, conflicting reports and the finalised schedule isn't out yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,684 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


    Lundgaard seems to be impressing so far in qualifying. Not bad times in practice posting 7th fastest lap.

    O'Ward aces qualifying, Power 2nd, Grosjean 3rd, then Lundgaard in 4th. Good session although I would have preferred it being the full Fast 6 version.

    I like Grosjean's chances today. I don't know much about Lundgaard but he looked real good in qualifying and he's in a car which is always better on race day.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,044 ✭✭✭Ohmeha


    Palou's engine blowing up has just kept the championship alive for the rest

    Great win for Power after a difficult season and Grosjean impressive again with 2nd. Jimmie Johnson also having by far his most competitive drive of the season



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,684 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


    Good race today. It didn't pan out for Lundgaard but he definitely made an impression this weekend. Not a fan of Power but he certainly showed he is a king around Indy IMS.

    Great to see Grosjean show that tracks like this suit him. He'll have a win soon. Maybe if he is tempted by an oval towards the end of the year?!

    Final oval of the year this weekend, and we head to World Wide Technnology Raceway (formerly Gateway Motorsports Park) for a Saturday night showdown. Of note: Grosjean will be competing!

    260 laps, 523.027km (or 325 miles if you're that inclined)

    Schedule

    Saturday 21st

    • Practice — 6:15pm (Sky F1)
    • Qualifying — 10pm (Sky F1)
    • Race — 1am (Sky F1)
    • Green flag at about 1:40am


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,108 ✭✭✭johnnysmack


    Once again Grosjean is great entertainment. Kept it clean and quiet in 15th for the first 80 laps and now suddenly passing cars left and right breaking into the top 10!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,638 ✭✭✭deafroadrunner


    Grojsean having a great race so far



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,684 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


    It's definitely interesting with Herta in front and Palou maintaining the position so he is still a head of O'Ward.

    A yellow will spice this up.

    Herta hit a rabbit earlier 😔 rest in...
