Karam was awful, literal child. It was hilarious when Gil de Ferran's daughter dumped him and he posted an instagram of him crying.
>>66909212
pic?
>>66909252
He deleted it like an hour later unfortunately.

Now I remember why I liked him back in the day.

who /chilton/ here?
>>66909035
it's not like you haven't already seen it before live during the broadcast anyways and there's been a bunch of webms of bianchi.
>>66908027
there was a good part during one of those NBCSN broadcasts where Tracy and Bourdais got together again for an interview and talked about their heated rivalry days while driving around in a Vette.
>>66909475
hey at least he isn't marco
>>66909484
still too soon.
>>66909252
>>66909321
I just looked through his old instagram posts and he went full autism and deleted all the pictures of her. He was so fucking gay when they were dating, he would post #WCW shit with tacky teenager captions.
It was hilarious when they broke up. People were calling him a faggot in the comments and he got super butthurt. I should have screencapped it.

she only races once a year right? strange
>>66909821
I have dreams of one day watching sports events without announcers, I'd be in heaven
at the end of the 2009 500 he actually led a few laps since all the leaders had to refuel. same happened to him
>>66910007
you can do this in esports, come join the future :^)
>>66910031
what am i on that was 2011
>>66909992
Her period cycle coincides until the proper celestial alignment
>>66909992
Yeah she gets that corrupt shithole organization that is Susan G. Komen to sponsor a pink car for the 500 and she wrecks every year usually taking out at least one car in contention for the win.
>>66910007
F1 practice 1 on Friday was broadcasted online without commentary. Top-tier comfy.
what ever happened to Katherine Legge
>>66910228
Driving the Dildowing
chilton an absolute madman
>>66910228
Just you wait till the 500 my friend
>Katherine Legge will join Grace Autosport for the 2016 race.[4] This will be her first attempt since the 2013 Indianapolis 500. Grace Autosport is the first ever all-female racing team to compete at Indianapolis.
>>66910050
Fuck that bullshit
>>66910124
Yeah I found that a year or two ago, made me a happy boy. It's just sad that I can never watch a race that way
>>66910283
But Grace is some kind of bullshit team that needs to be run by someone else for the race, and they still haven't found a parent team to take them on.
>>66910228
driving deltawing, she was a full time driver with a full time personal sponsor but they screwed her out of a seat when saveedra came along with more money
Indycar kinda-newfag here
can anyone give me a rundown on the tires?
announcers mention blacks, red and sticker reds
what's the differences between them?
>>66910359
Of course, a woman is only as strong as her man.
>>66910407
Similar to F1's option and primes if you're familiar with that. Reds have more grip but degrade faster. Sticker just means brand new set
>indy-gestion
holy fuck what was that
>>66910544
You laughed don't lie. And you know Butterball now, don't you?
What are the odds that Brian Vickers drives the 500 this year?
>>66910467
thanks!
Dixon wins lol
>>66910682
Driving? Possible.
Doing well? Never.
>>66910682
50/50 i think between he and gabby chaves for a seat with brian herta racing
Shoot, similar note, has there been any talk lately about Hinch driving a road course race in NASCAR? I remember something about it during the offseason, he and Grosjean and someone else were all kind of hinting around it.
>>66909531
>when he floats into the car
>>66910856
yeah I think there was talk of him going to drive for joonyer at road america or something like that
Meh, smells like a drive through for Pagenaud desu

oh boy here comes refcar for dixon, how exciting

Fucking American nigger times
Was supposed to watch this from the start but only found out it was on now FUUUU
did anything interesting happen in the first ~50 laps?

>warning
Wtf? Dixon should cut the Chilton corner to pass now
This is a public service announcement, this is only a test
>>66908960
fuck you, buddy
I thought they weren't telling the audience how many P2Ps drivers had. Now Pagenaud knows Dixon only has one.

>>66911227
I swear I would be the best commentator ever, put the word out
Is this actually the same Long Beach track as the one F1 used back in the day?
Because it's pretty terrible Valencia-tier no overtake-zone, Monaco without being in Monaco
>>66911331
the first section got changed back in the 90s but other than that yeah i think its the same.
>>66911296
Just be happy that Road America is on the schedule
TAKUMA MY BOYYY
inb5 jinx
Why do the cuckolds of F1Fanatic consistently rate mediocre to complete dogshit F1 races as being at least a 7/10 or higher without fail?
>mike hull whining
gee whiz I sure am surprised, gosh
>frenchy cheating his way to victory
>>66911296
America has so many good tracks and Indycar goes to like 1 or 2 per year. Are the track owners just jewing around or what
I don't get why COTA, Laguna Seca, Road America, Road Atlanta, Watkins Glen etc aren't 100% confirmed staples of the Indycar calendar every year. Ok COTA isn't that great but doubt they are too busy most of the year anyway so why not.
>>66911465
those were my thoughts during the interview lel. it's like a clock
>>66911331
its about half the same as the old F1 track:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V32r81n96Mk
Why didn't Pagenaud receive a penalty yet? This is ridiculous
Here's what should happen:
Dixon makes an overly optimistic lunch on Pagenaud and takes them both out
It happens right in front of Castroneves and Montoya mugs him for the position before the yellow comes out
Montoya wins.
If trips, this actually happens.

Can't race at COTA because of F1, I think same with Watkins Glen, NASCAR is there. The other ones I don't know why, politics and money probably
>tfw rooting for a kiwi
i love pagenaud but this is crazy
>>66911517
fuuuck watching that is just depressing
>>66911441
Let's start with the fact that every race this season has been a 7/10 at least. 2015 was awful but all races so far this year have been just good races overall
trackforum should take indycar over
>>66911505
lots of stupid red tape and conflicts and nascar ownership and egos etc
i'd give anything to remove St Petersburg and Detroit and add Watkins Glen and Laguna
>>66911505
>COTA
Bernie makes race organizers sign a covenant that they won't host rival series.
Indycar is considered a rival to F1.
>>66911540
His penalty was a warning.

They just said barnhardt does not do the penalties any more.

You are an impressionable moron.
Sato pls
Pls dont wreck
what did she mean by this?
>>66911678
wew angry emma makes my dick hard
>>66911625
>believing Barnhart's lies
>>66911678
The crossing the yellow line thing from Pagenaud.
That and Scott cheats on her a lot so the word "cheating" has a lot of baggage in her psyche.
>>66911663
>minimal overtaking
huh?
fuck up montoya
>>66911734
montoya only flinches when its the end of the season amirite
>>66911730
>someone who didn't watch today's GP
>>66911663
Are you honestly saying there's "minimal overtaking" in F1, having watched the Chinese GP today, and currently watching this Indycar street circuit boogaloo shit?
I'm not saying F1 is the best it's ever been but the races this year have been good.
>watch race
>feel excitement and enjoyment
>don't regret watching race
>rate it a moderately good pragmatic 7/10, knowing it's not great but much better than what's been going on recently
>some nigger calls me an "impressionable moron" on the internet for this
fucking Dixon take fucking Pagenaud out.
Man this race is really boring. No spots changed hands after the last round of pit stops.
Why do they still go here? OOOH THEY HAVE A FOUNTAIN
>>66911678
there has never EVER been a likeable french driver
street circuits are so dumb.
i would have taken Dixon winning over fucking Pagenaud winning.
>i like everyone at Penske bar Pagenaud
>i Dislike everyone at Target bar Chip Ganassi and Dixon

>>66911803
Pag is pretty likeable desu, he isn't a cunt like Bourdais
>>66911678
I love her so much
>>66911840
he's swiss, just drives with a French license
>there is no satisfying way for Pagenaud to come out with the ruling bullshit and the fucking whining.
Winning or DNF for Alabama, pick your fucking poison. Not mad, but I still admit it was dusty.
See you next time while I'm buffing furiously the banana to the trackforum and Chip's tears.
>>66911803
>Not liking based SeaBass
>"he should keep 2 wheels over the line"
>replay shows 2 wheels over the line
what else do the ganassis want? did I mishear him?
>>66911840
>>66911839
He's as French as Rosberg is German
I don't see the problem, dixon was too far behind for it to matter if he stayed straight for 2 more feet
I feel like indycar teams just whine for no reason after a race, no wonder fans are dropping out
>>66911803
>Jean Alesi
>Henri Pescarolo
>Romain Grosjean
>>66911803
Who's the guy with the striking blue eyes that died at Watkins Glen in F1 in the 70s?
>>66911943
Francois Cevert
>>66911899
Right tires crossed the line
>>66911919
A rule is a rule, Dixon was right on his ass so I don't think it's fair to say it didn't matter
>there's an inch on the race track
kek
>>66911943
cevert
>>66911943
Francois Cervert
>>66911966
and they gave him a warning, as per the rule. What is the problem? Why do Ganassi and Dixon feel entitled to new rules being made up to suit them?
>>66911996
If that is the rule then that's fair. Seems pretty stupid to give a driver a warning for cutting a corner to win a race though
>>66911963
>>66911969
>>66911979
Thanks!
He was French, right? And isn't he generally regarded as a likeable guy?
Plus it's just not cool to hate on a dead guy.
So >>66911803
is this a good answer? Francois Cevert?
>>66911886
It kills me that this might be seabass's last win
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=io4gzvy3bo0#t=1h30m
>make sure the Penske car wins goys
>>66912043
And what a drive that was. It still amazes me that he almost lapped all the field with shot tyres. Especially on an oval. Still waiting for Toronto, Detroit or that new track at Boston to see if he still has something in his sleeves. But I think that's safe to say it could well be his last season.
>more screen time for ganassi whining
oh fuck off I am so tired of this shit every fucking week
>>66912198
I cant deny he drove his wheels off that dave. I love watching that. Not sure if I miss him ore Milwaukee more.
Alabama next. Who's ready for yellow flags?
good battle between Dixon and Pagenaud even if the pit lane exit no-call tainted it. Dixon should've passed him anyway with the pit strategy. I was hoping for a better result from Chilton, Daly and Rossi being back on a road course.
Is there a particular reason why Indycars don't have power steering? I could understand maybe not wanting it on ovals but wouldn't it help on road courses to help turn the car better and go faster? Or is the rule there just to make things more difficult for the driver?
>sato has more indycar starts then he does in F1.
Japan's most successful indycar driver.
I caught a little bit of the post race and now all the drivers were grumbling about the package and being too hard to overtake. Kanaan and Newgarden said something like the old package was better.
>>66913081
yeah the new kits just create too much turbulence off the rear
>>66913081
I love how Sato is gesturing like Kimball did something wrong.
This webm makes me so angry. That's fucked up.
>>66913124
This webm also makes me seethe. Fucking Power.
>>66913081
>ruin the oval package
>ruin the street package
they just can't get out of their own way
>>66913994
that isn't sato you fucking racist

Also, you're the racist, RACIST!

hawksworth you dyslexic idiot
>>66914342
You're the dxyelscic diot, itod!
>>66913711
>>66914031
all that effort to make the new aero kits and regulations and now they say the old package was better lel. maybe they can tweak the rules during the season and use smaller wings.
it was a similar thing after Phoenix. Some drivers complained that a second groove did't open up and that there wasn't enough passing.
>>66914786
it'll never be stable or everyone happy
the owners and drivers say like 10 different things that often contradict each other
-we want low costs
-oh! but we want open rules and multiple manufacturers
-we want variety on aero
-also we want close racing
etc
>>66911996
"There will be no warnings this season"
>lel just kidding
What's that about making up rules?
How is this still alive
>>66923147
Because you just bumped it
