HAHAHA WTF. JOSEPHS LEFT LATERAL INCISOR MOVES EVERY FUCKING WEEK IS TH IS A RUNNING JOKE?
They're running the old F1 layout (modified with the better 5/6 turn to hype the 500.
I love him, probably one of my favorite driver. But he's shit since 2017 and the new aero package.
I'd like him to team up with Seabass and Vasser,
That would be neat.

Why do redditors think that 'soi' is a term for anything they dont like. You can't call a race car 'soi' because soi boys dont like cars except tesla. Its pretty obvoius.

Of course, CART were mostly made up of idiots who didn't realize that all of their sponsors and all of the manufacturers put up with there bullshit because of The Indy 500.
Also, press F to pay respects to Rossi.

Because Dietrich Mateschitz is getting old & senile.

How has Harvey never driven in the rain? Every boomer at at track day has
Cost cutting literally doesn't work, making more money does.
Exhibit A: this shanty series
IRL was just as fucking dead in 2007, only difference is that TGIII was willing to keep throwing his family's money at it while Kike Kalkhoven decided he liked his money more than Champ Car or not selling out his business partner.
wow F1 drivers still can't handle that part of the track even with all the alterations
f1 drivers can't into oval turn 1 lol
He meant in this indycar I think
fuck nbc
>f1 has the best drivers meme
Alonso will do the same
I feel we're more likely to see F1 take the indy 500 than a true revival of Indycar.
The problem I have is the USA has great tracks and F1 will ignore them in favor of shitty desert tracks.
>open mics on the commercials
please someone say a bad word please
look at that vortex forming around the city
Just like with the drivers, F1 tracks are all about who has the most money. Hence why we've got Azerbaijan, Vietnam, Holland and now a second US GP in Miami.
>That swedish driver (no, the other who was in F1)
Doesn't seem like there's many fans at this race. Is it not a bit strange to hold the Indycar Grand Prix and the 500 in the same month?
it is very strange, just one of the many glaring problems with the series' schedule "philosophy"
Nah, the teams and drivers all just camp out there for the month anyway, if they aren't already in the area. This is just a bonus race.
What if it happened during the 500 and they ran at 300mph wind assisted
I honestly would prefer to have this race get dropped from the calendar and just open up Indy 500 qualifying and practice for two weekends instead of one. Especially if it can persuade the car owners from backing away from another 25/8 rule at Indy. (AKA Charters/Guaranteed Starting Spots)
I'm not really sure what the weather is like in spring in Indianapolis, but wouldn't it make sense to start a condensed season (mid April-ish) with the Indy Car Grand Prix, and then end the season (September) with the Indy 500?
It's literally just a cheap way to make the TV contract race minimum without needing to travel anywhere.

Nah. It's tradition for a reason.
Indy 500 will never be moved from May. They take their traditions very seriously and it has always been held on or around Memorial Day.
>rosenshit
>le young american '''''talent'''''
Some business firm came in and consulted and decided that since alot of fans camp out and come in to IMS all month anyway and the cars are there and they paid to make the infeild track already that they sould just have a race.
Its a good track desu. Also, its pulls like 40k or so but the stans hold 400k so it looks empty.
Its either have the race not have one at all desu. They can barely keep the schedule they have.

What do you guys think about Veach?
do these fools in commentary booth have timing screens? because everyone is lapping within 1 second of their best lap time, so it's obvious it's not raining strong enough yet
one of many mediocre field-fillers from the mazda ladder
Dude, he's with AJ Foyt Enterprises. He's a non-factor until he KILLNANS somebody.
He's basically the biggest field-filler on the grid. Even more than Marco Andretti and Max Chilon.
boy if they penalize Harvey there
Lackluster
They probably will. Nobody likes to see some new team show up a Panske, Ganassi or Andretti Autosport car.
Five fewer possible rain races is what I'm saying
Are there any good WAGs in /Indy/?
Indiana user here. The indy gp has been going on for 4 years. Nobody really cares about it. Not sure why anybody is claiming otherwise.
But the weather was kind of shit today, which is why turnout is especially bad. It was hot but nice last year and turnout was a lot better.
leave the horse sex posting to /f1/
yes but you can fuck off
Dixons wife's pretty nice, former swimmer too I believe
Fuck of /wag/ fag.
this is some vortex shit
A lot of people obsess over emma dixon on here
Doesn't really count but wicken's wife is p hot
Josef's waifu to be is cute
>brake checks because he tried to cheat and get a jumpstart
>"no fault of his own"
rossi apologism is out of hand
Wickens doesn't really count as a driver anymore, user. ;_;
uwah~ you're already this wet
Is more rain coming or is it going away? they need a storm
>brake check the literally 4 people behind him
Doubt.jpg
>Chilton 3rd
what
More rain coming, but I don't know if it's going to cause a real downpour.
the rain cloud is right over them but according to radar there is a circle where no rain is falling. Vortex in action
I hope it is, we need some nice heavy rain.
Alternate Strategy. Same with everybody from 1st to 5th place, they all have to pit within 5 laps.
I know =[
He's super paralyzed from the knees down.
Hopefully soon we'll have robot legs and he can kick ass
>walks another ez championship
The Indycar "Rain" tires can't handle heavy rain though. They're like F1 intermediates.
I'm thinking more like NANOMACHINES, SON.
But yeah... I hold out hope he'll recover, but he won't be back this year.
didn't firestone make a new compound for rain tires last year? don't remember if they had a chance to use them or not
Does my lad Montoya still turn up for the Indy 500 these days?
Well, medium rain then, I just want an indycar wet race.
Nah, he DGAF anymore. He likes eating, flying rc planes, and hanging out with his kid.
he'd have to buy 2 tickets
he's a big guy
Already getting tired of this gainbridge commercials about stonks lads
Why the fuck do the directors always cut away just when something interesting is happening?
Yeah, me too.
Nah, it's a different construction of rain tire. But the tread depth is still as shallow as an 'Intermediate" rain tire.
I still wonder how the fuck he's able to fit in an IMSA DPi when Graham Rahal had to quit driving for Penske's IMSA team because his knees kept hitting the steering column?
how badly would alonso dominate this race
that's an issue of height, not weight. Graham's like a foot taller than juan
>rosenshit
yeah Graham's like 6'5, 6'6
See ericson
gp2 downforce
He hated how the Indycar drove on a roadcourse when he tested one last year, so not at all.
Gotcha. I wondered why it felt like he was towering over me when I met him when I'm like 6'2".
Also, Rosenquist forgot to bring the heat.
Pagenaud has this
Gp2 horsepower, sub gp2 downforce
>son of eric comparable to alonso
nice one
based chancing conditions saving this shit circuit
GP2s/F2s are rocking 700 Horsepower now?
the herta family is so ugly
>Colton Herta (born March 30, 2000 in Valencia, California)
Fuck, I didn't realise Colton Herta was born after the turn of the millennium.
I'm starting to think my hopes of becoming a professional racing driver are starting to evaporate...
>Pagenaud had a rough start of the season
pagenaud had a rough uh last 2 years
Herta is based
just add money and you can race anywhere!
Nah, they're not. I mis-stated that. The overall PERFORMANCE is similar, but indycar has like 200 more horspower, but also far more weight
nah, spends his time with his son these days, and imsa
If you have enough money and are physically fit enough to get into the car, you can have a shot of being a professional driver user.
You might end up in IMSA, but you can make it if you've got the chops.
Ah, I see. I know F2 cars have WAAAY more downforce than Indycars.
>I'm starting to think my hopes of becoming a professional racing driver are starting to evaporate...
Save some money and become a pay driver. You're delusional if you think you can make it to Indycar but pretty much everything else is still an option.
so you're saying f1 is an option?
Yeah, indycars have to be built THICC to deal with the impact forces you can see on an oval.
Oh good, Montoya 2 coming to the world race track within the next 10 years? Hope he is as good as his dad.
>starting
They were gone the moment you were born.
he apparently wins a lot, but hard to tell if that is talent or having by far the best equipment
>yfw the rain comes after the race ends
Yeah, they have a higher crash forces standard than F1 cars or something like that. They're also built for taller/stockier drivers because you need muscle to hustle a car without power steering around at speed.
Is Indy car the most elitist sport in the world?
I mean, Francesco Dracone got an indycar ride...fall into some money and the world is your oyster, user
Second to f1
motogp probably
Every. Fucking. Time.
Hope is talent and more just having a rich racing dad.
Nah. F1 is still number one.
we rain now
>Kanaan on rain tyres
>Someone said is raining
is finally happening
KILLNAN on Wets.
In F1 you can't get within sight of the pits without paying $10,000. Meanwhile you can easily walk around the indy paddock, looking in at cars, and meeting drivers. I even bumped in to Marco, and Ganassi last year at portland. It's the furthest from elite
Damn that is crazy
they're still running the same times they've done in all the dry practices
>we always talk about the danger zone
yeah, we all noticed
>killnaan 20 seconds off pace
Hahahahahaha

These guys have more personality than most drivers IMO.
literally all these drivers have more personality than anyone in F1
This isn’t f1 nigel
why has the safety car been out for like 5 laps for a car that's been moving for 4 of those 5?
such a long caution and the car that caused it got rolling 15 minutes ago
Do they let the backmarkers unlap themselves?
whyyy such a long caution.
This wouldn't happen back in the day.
Never give up PAGENAUD
only if they're caught between the leader and the safety car
probably because american enterainment is dictated by big companies so they need all this time for adverts
HURRY THE FUCK UP
it's so the americans can have 15 minutes of ad breaks
harvey will crash into dixon
WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY STILL DOING
>you now remember when ITV used to have the F1 rights
>you now remember when they cut to an ad-break during the final laps of Imola 2005

This is true desu. Hopefully they get the ads out of the way so we do t have to see them any more
>another commercial
?
user...
I don't even watch that shit anymore. I just hit mute and shitpost.
Fuck ads. They're cancer.
I too, like adds with racing mixed in.
Making sure that more adds get mixed into another segment on non-advertisement coverage.
Honestly, NBC's NASCAR coverage is far, far worse with this shit.
>a commercial hyping up the race that we can't watch because of commercials
I'm watching this race on Sky Sports (UK) so there's no ad breaks.
What are the pharmaceutical companies trying to shove down your American throats during all these commercial breaks?
Being an asshole isn't a personality.
>leist is somehow up there
chaos soon
Dutch commentator now acknowledging that the pace car takes so long so that Americans can see more commercials
>leist passing trough the outside
Dixon just fucking jumped the start there, but won't get a penalty because he drives for Ganassi.
based
Pagenaud based saves his job
he and Power always jump starts and I don't know if I've ever heard media say anything about it
>poogeuot
They don't because they drive for the team owners that dictate the rules of the series.
if Dixon drove for anybody else he'd already have served a drive-through for that start and IT'S BULLSHIT!
>sato could be in 3rd if he didn't have those fuckups
this was NOT part of the keikaku
Programming error, probably caused by the wet weather. Dixonbot needs better weatherproofing.
they're gonna need to pit before the checkers, it looks too dry for these tires
>(((American))) commercials
Basically, the wets are for the oval parts of the track where it's incredibly wet with rain. Otherwise yeah, slicks would be the way to go still.
>pewgeot

Nah he's got enough P2P to keep him off. Believe it or not, Harvey is actually not a shitter
See you next weekend for Indy qualifying? Or just shit-posting in the general motorsports thread?

Damn, honestly a based move from Pagenaud. And now he's checked the fuck out.
>*sweating intensisfies*
Podium is still great for Harvey
is leist unironically good? he isn't losing any time to these guys in a shitbox
holy hell pagenaud is flying
He's Brazilian
Pagenaud /ourguy/
Pagenaud will end up running into Dixon in turn one.
Is that endless safety car period is going to rob us of a final lap battle between Dixon and Pagenaud?
Did Pagenaud learn to drive under a fucking waterfall?
crash each other come on baby. you KNOW dixon is prone to blocking dudes into the wall
its not just paug, the whole field is catching dixon

I thought I was recording the end of the race, but I guess I was already recording. So when I hit "record," I was actually stopping it.
Actually he said he was going to pass Dixon and overcome 11 seconds and the commentators laughed at him
