>tfw there won't ever be a comedy gold detroit like 2012 again
i was laughing so hard the whole race
>>68104433
Was that the one where parts of the asphalt were coming loose and attacking cars?
what is Sam Hornish Jr up to these days
this track is absolute shit
>>68104451
yeah
>>68104418
No tears here anon
Simon is based.
>>68104466
It sure is. And not even in a particularly endearing way, like houston was.

He drove one of the historic cars during indy 500 pre race festivities last week. That's about it
>>68104506
this is the earliest i've woken up at 3:30pm in the past week.
>>68104506
>>68104530
>Nascar was a mistake
>>68104576
Richard Petty Motorsports in the Cup series was a mistake
He's still be driving if he would have snagged another Xfinity ride or maybe one of the Trucks
>>68104576
Nah he got out of indy at the perfect time. The series was just about to merge, so all that talent would have pushed him to the back anyway and exposed how weAK those old IRL grids were. Instead people will think he was actually a good driver.
>Scott 'JUST' Dixon
>Dixon in pit lane
"HE'S GOING SLOW GUYS"

Fuck yeah Montoya sitting in the catbird seat ATM
gee 4th ganassi car crashes right at Dixie got fucked and two penskes are still out
how perfect?
>>68104855
If you think the team works that cohesively together, you're nuts.
Chilton bought that ride. He ain't wrecking on account of his team mates.
>>68104889
Thanks for the info Mr chip, go back to your sandwiches now

SPIC COMMENTARY.
suddenly better commentary
>can't watch on TV
>based streamer puts it in spanish for a minute
thanks based streamer
>>68105103
city street circuits in general, really.
>>68105133
>>68105140
aren't they embarrassed?
This track is like an extremely shitty Albert Park.
>>68105103
>island was made bigger from busted highway pavement rubble
>detroit
>>68105189
Nobody lives there to be embarrassed about it, and by the time the area reaches gentrification, the hipsters will think it is cool or something
Not pitting didn't seem to screw the Penske guys too badly, surprisingly
>>68105212
Albert Park is an extremely shitty Montjuic
RAIN IT BEGINS
Did we have rain here last year too? or was that Toronto?

>red tires explode after 10 laps
>25 laps red tires still going strong
odds on putting reds on again?
>>68105316
Last year, Munoz raped everyone with good strategy and fast laps in the drying line
Why would you run a race the week after the indy 500. Have a break week like after monaco then go back to normal races.
We're still talking about Rossi winning the indy 500 over here! Let us digest!
I like the new ESPN interface
Looks better and simpler
>>68105357
Because Indycar thinks the start of the american football season matters.
>>68105357
from what i understand, there is going to be a second race again tomorrow
>>68105357
Detroit is maybe a 3 hour drive from Indy at most
Stream is kill.
>>68105357
Indycar is managed by stupid people. Following up their best event with the most boring, what a way to keep interest sky high !
>>68105357
Because Detroit is only an hour or so drive away from Indianapolis. It's not even a big deal.
SUNOCO FYOOOL
>>68105357
You mean the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500™ presented by Firestone® as seen right here on ABC?
>latin american commentarist telling that he spoke to some muricans believing that alex rossi is related to valentino
Top kek
>>68105392
>>68105420
Dude Chicago is three hours from indy.
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/thezoo101
>stream is death
oh well i didn't want to watch the race anyways
>>68105388
Pro-Tip: It doesn't.
It's not a direct competitor. It'd be like if F1 stopped in summer because of the world cup. I'm sure the fans can handle having one race on a Sunday and watching their team. It's not like they have to watch every team that plays.
>>68105357
Logistically convenient, also to try and use the momentum from the 500 for the following races.
A low chance, but worth it I guess
>>68105463
Its on espn2 or espn play if you want
>>68105481
What if they went to mid-ohio instead
>>68105357
You are talking about a racing series that runs 15 rounds from April to September with nothing happening in the 6 months between the final race and preseason testing. Indycar's schedule follows its own logic
>>68105420
>>68105392
If it was about proximity wouldn't they go to mid ohio ? This race is a Roger Penske vanity project and be wants this race when he wants it and that's how it is going to be.
>>68105513
i don't have a tv on my room.
>>68105455
thanks
The USA has great tracks why is it all these street circuits with Indy Car?
Go to Watkins Glen or Road America.
>>68105548
They're going to both :^)
Why does Indy Car love street circuits?
>>68105548
you now remember ALMS races at Miller Motorsports Park
>>68105529
You think they would look at every other sport on the plant and adjust their strategy. Run 6 races in 8 weeks, put gaps between the big races. Indy 500, Long Beach, er... COTA?
>>68105477
The problem is that IndyCar has primarily retained Indy 500 worshipping midwest sports fans (and primarily hires them to run things) rather than racing fans.
The only non oval tracks missing from the schedule are Laguna, Portland and COTA. COTA and Laguna are automatically out because of factors beyond indycar's control. Portland is out because ?? Maybe it is not up to safety standards or is in disrepair? I am not familiar with it
>>68105481
Barcelona is logistically convenient to Monaco.
You put the weaker race first if you're going cheap on travel!
>>68105699
I think is in a poor state
>>68105699
similar to Brands Hatch, the locals complain about too much noise
>forgetting Road Atlanta
>>68105629
>>68105699
>COTA
>>68105708
Technically Indycar did that with the GP of Indianapolis
>>68105699
Poetland has much more aggressive noise and community restrictions than Laguna Seca. The latter has like two free loud weekends now though.
>>68105744
Road Atlanta is owned by NASCAR, so it's in a similar situation to COTA
>>68105103
If you live in a place with four seasons then you get shitty roads. Being on a lake doesn't help either.
>>68105755
I guess there's enough of a gap between 'bama and Indy GP, might be tricky having that many races before the 500 though
>>68105744
Then why are they near a racetrack?
>>68105755
Racing the same place on a different layout doesn't count!
It'd be like running monaco reverse before running monaco... It doesn't make sense!
>>68105819
Logic and reasoning have no place in these arguments
>>68105744
Road Atlanta is too outdated in the paddock (even compared to indy's street courses) and has bad safety standards. It was never on the radar for indycars of any era, and definitely not now that it is owned by nascar.
I HATE THE FUCKING COMMERCIALS WITHOUT WARNING FUCK YOU ESPN REEEEEEEE
>>68105699
PIR would have to dump like $5mil into the track to bring it up to safety standards and they don't want to do that, rightfully so
>>68105804
and those cocksuckers won't even hire landscapers to power wash all the mud-crusted walls
>>68105856
Then why do they have a big endurancr race?
>>68105840
Not really the same situation, an oval vs an infield road course section are obvuiusly wildly different and provide different races. they essentially get an extra round in the championship for free.
>DUEL SCREEN WITH COMMERICALS
COME ON NOW, ABC.
>>68105840
>monaco reverse
muh dick
>that divebomb replay
holy shit what was he thinking
>>68105875
Tradition? It has never evolved beyond being a glorified club circuit, petit le mans outgrew it but they keep plodding on anyway.
>>68105938
Dat uphill hairpin
Too much for mai dick
>>68105857
>bt sport stream
>leaching the US stream, and goes to their own commentators when the burgers get commercials
>>68105938
It's absolute shit in reverse.
>Chilton
How is this pleb still racing?
>>68105819
Curitiba (the one that hosted Brazil's WTCC races) went through a similar situation
>why are they near a racetrack?
Turns out that people are retarded. They started moving in close to the track and suddenly realised that racetracks are usually noisy as hell. So the neighbours went and cried to the city's administration until they finally decided to sell the track. Now it's set to be demolished next month
>>68105972
Downhill rascasse wew
>de mayor
>>68106006
Noooo that was a great track
Fuck those annoying cunts
>angry hinch
This is rare.
GET FUCKED CUNTCLIFFE.
>>68106006
at least Portrero de los Funes will always be intact
PINCHED CLIFF
wew
>>68106001
Money, so they say is the root of all evil today
>>68105898
If you live near the circuit you're not going to bother with the road course and just go to the oval race people care about the week after.
There's a sweetzone to be had between nearby race and too close. Valencia was too close to Barcalona to run back to back so they put them two months apart.
Canadian tears
>>68106006
>Curitiba
Fuck, that was a great track in GSC
Were those rain drops on his car? Too far from the TV I'm watching this on.
>>68105982
YOU TAKE THAT BACK
>tfw norschleife in reverse on gt6
soooo good
>>68106007
Incredibly tight first corner
Wew
>>68106096
Splashed from the tire barrier
>>68106096
Yes, but just picked up after tagging the barrier.
Montoya to Le Mans WHEN
Wheres the abc sports theme? What are those songs?
>Australian driver Matt Mingay is in critical condition at a Detroit hospital after a vicious crash in the SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks/Formula Off-Road Presented by Traxxas Series race at Belle Isle.
>Mingay suffered a hard crash in Turn 5 of the 2.3-mile track. The Detroit News reports Mingay's truck flipped over after swerving to avoid traffic, shearing off the roof. He was removed on a stretcher, taken to the infield care center and transported to Detroit Receiving Hospital, which confirmed the driver was in their care.

>when they used the Delta Force movie theme
Shit was great.
>>68106149
Holy shit
The paint jobs seem so much better this year than the last season I watched a race (2012). Penske going silver chrome and Hinch gold chrome is nice too.
Last race I saw power was black and dull vs chip red and dull
>>68106137
Probably not. He was testing for Porsche LMP1 a year ago or so but nothing came of it
>>68106149
Sad but only a matter of time desu those trucks are nuts
>>68106154
Now thats more i like it

He's powerless

I love it when Will Power gets BTFO
>>68106277
Dubs confirm.

Hope that nut doesn't end up in someone's face
>>68106181
Prior commitments and them not running a 3rd car because of >VW diesel. It might still happen but things are pointing toward no.
I guess Power nutted early
>>68106332
Toyota has squandered two consecutive 24's by not running a three-car effort
Are Aleshin, Dixon and Bourdais racing tomorrow or are they going to Le Mans test day? How does it work if they miss test day?
>>68106277
shidd
Dubs were correct
>>68106385
time for a 10 deltawing effort to win every class
>>68106385
They looked sexy doing so
>dat gt-one
>if i would have left 10 mins ago to get milk I wouldn't have missed anything and could be having milk and girl scout thin mints
FUCK
Bourdais has this boys, everyone else minus well stop trying
>>68106481
By far the best looking LMP ever created. The TS020 is still incredible.

>>68106554
Dat TS040 sound tho
>>68106614
>Not TS010
Ints are the right call. Might be able to manage on slicks until some scrub like Daly or Marco spins.

>last great
>great
>>68106647
>>68106666
You're right. I'm just biased toward the 040 because I've heard it in person. And also the same power unit in Rebellion's ALMS car.
>>68106753
Can't you let me pretend the rules weren't skewed in favor of diesel and that sweet sounding v12 was competitive?
I haven't been following this season, is it still chevywinslol?
>>68106789
It was certainly the best of the modern hybrid LMP1s
>Seabass pulling away
>>68106863
More like Pagenaudwinslol
The fuck ABC? That was 1 lap and they're having commercials again
>>68106789
>ts040
>same power unit as the rebellion
Um how did rebellion use an engine that wasn't even built at that time?
this is why hate watching sports
POWER OUTTAGE
>>68106863
Chevy wins plus honda getting to go outside the rulebook and improve their engine and aero and still failing. Honda needs to just accept they have worse teams and drivers
>it's a top teams fumble their pit strategies again episode
>>68106981
Where?
France literally owning this season wew boys
>>68106921
I saw them at COTA in 2013.
They were running a toyota V8.
Also, three races in a row where Conor Daly is a factor at the end. Good for him.
>>68107023
on the track
>>68107069
He was a factor at indy?
>>68107088
The power outtage happened many laps ago
I don't usually watch indy
But the 500 last weekend was super comfy, so I put this on
...not nearly as comf
>>68107111
Not at the end obviously, he crashed, but there was a significant stint where he led.
Don't fuck this up for him marco you fuck
>marco
what a cunt
are there no blue flags
>>68107157
He didn't lead a single lap... maybe he was at the front but at the end of the lead lap?
>>68106863
An American won the 500 in a Honda. WW2 vets in Hawaiian shirts cried.
>it's a Marco fucks everything up episode
>>68107207
Ah. Maybe so. Maybe I'm just confused. But still, considering he's with dale coyne and a rookie, he's exceeded my expectations.
>>68107219
Every episode is a marco fuck up
>>68107151
This is a kinda shit weekend for some people but I enjoy it.
Texas on the 11th and the return to ROAD AMERICA on the 26th.
>>68106528
>>68106528
>>68106528
Dixon wins tomorrow, don't bother tuning in
BourDAYS
Please Bourdain don't choke, i cannot take fucking Daly( [R] for like 7 years now) winning.

Same track in reverse
I thought Hydroxycut got banned but I guess it didn't have ephedrine in it or they removed that
>>68107351
They've been on suicide watch since Indy because a "Good fer nuthin' furriner that doesn't even care about Indycar" won it.
>>68107394
