I've been trying to figure out why only some of the Chevy runners have that new front wing. The radio guys haven't said anything about it while I've been listening.
God damn the DW12 is terrible.
Can IndyCar get rid of this meme chassis?
>>67532443
No they spent too much money on it. We will be stuck with the DW12 for at least the next 5-6 years.
>>67532443

Never mind, supposedly IndyCar is already looking into replacements for 2018
What do you guys think of the possible prospect of Austin Dillon, Chase Elliot, and Ryan Blaney all making the Chase this year?

WHY, DO YOU HATE DAN WHELDON?
>>67539698
I don'the blame them for not getting a car. I blame Indycar's team owners for being whiny pussies that are so afraid of the thought of an Indy-only team could knock them out of the field of the biggest race of the year that they rig the system through "Persuading" Dallara not making new chassis anymore (Unless there's a crack in a existing one) and "Persuade" the engine manufacturers to only have enough techs to support 33 cars across the two of them... Not to mention the Indianapolis Motor Speedway basically paying people like Buddy Lazier to start & park to keep away the real teams like Carlin Motorsport, Ju cos Racing, Coloni and othersee that have shown interest in running a car in the 500.
Plus, don't forget that the motherfucking CEO himself scared off any interested 3Rd or more parties two years ago (Cosworth, mainly) by fast-tracking the bullshit aero kits that have only made the racing worse and jacked the costs of competing up even higher so that nobody that's not in Indycar already wouldn't even consider it (Ford mainly. Their CEO basically said "As long as I'm alive, we'll never be in Indycar" in the lead-up to last year's Indy 500).
TLDR Fuck the Indy 500, Fuck Indycar, Everything wrong with how Indycar is run and works today can be seen in how Grace Autosport, Michael Shank and others have been shafted from running in the 500 this year on all sides.

Stewart Haas getting BTFO
Brendan Poole fell asleep in his XFinity car during practice.
With JGR obviously having the dominant equipment in all the top series right now, does that make you wonder about their "superstar" young guns coming up?
I mean Tifft, Jones, Suarez and even Bell who is basically JGR, do they all look so good because of their equipment? I can't help but feel if you put someone like Algaier in a JGR ride he'd win the Busch Championship.
is it just me or is it weird not having a Valvoline car anymore?
>>67549529
McFlurry took a huge hit. Those pancake hits are always scary...and there was no safer barrier where him and Tony hit.

>Ford says they only want to do production based racing programs
>then one of the Ford family also says there's no value in IndyCar because nobody watches it
>somehow either of these are the fault of aero kits
Ford is also noteworthy for being the one manufacturer that hated the IRL more than they were pissed off by CART back in 2001 (Cosworth had an engine ready they could have jumped ship with) so they have a long standing lack of interest.

"I was on a time that was good enough to get there, but locked up, went on the grass ... Every week I screw the [Firestone] Fast 6. Every week. Without foul. Obviously I'm quick in practice, [but] every week it's the same. Every week I screw up qualifying. It's really getting frustrating."

Went to Truck race today, was a shit.
>>67560628
With the re-pave and new run-off areas that Watkins Glen just got, Indycar might see some insane speeds and could go back next year instead of getting fleeced by all kinds of crooked businesses/politicians trying to get the race in Boston to happen.
>>67563485
>willingly going to an event where a "caution clock" exists
>>67564224
With how much turbulence Indycar's aerokit makes on Ovals, a "Caution Clock" at those races might actually work because if the race at Phoenix was any indication, the only time you can pass in one of those cars is on a restart or within 3 laps of a restart.
The idea itself is Absolutely Disgusting though and has no place in motorsport.
>>67564343
It would probably make a bigger difference just because of the fuel mileage meme
>>67564546
muh scott dixon wins lol
>>67565087
Dixon could be a hell of a WEC driver if or when he retires from Indycar. I was at Sonoma one year and he was so far out ahead from everybody else that you could hear how he was off the throttle completely leading up to Turn 2 and wasn't back on the gas until after he had cleared the corner completely.
Make as many funny memes as you want, the guy knows how to go fast with a light foot on the gas.
>>67565087
I mean that basically what happens in IndyCar is for the first couple laps they go for positions while people are still bunched up and possibly not up to speed because half of them are downforce babbies that are terrified of ovals then they go into fuel conservation mode and half throttle down straights because they think saving fuel in case a yellow comes out at a certain time is more important than a pass that might not work even if they are fucking themselves in the ass on pace.
See: that time Bourdais passed the entire field and drove away so far he could make an extra pit stop and still keep the lead on a 1 mile oval last year, to a lesser extent that time Kimball won a race at Mid-Ohio
If you have a guaranteed yellow at the right time it prevents the "oh god I don't want to pit a couple laps earlier and have a yellow trap me a lap down/at the back of the field" issue maybe. But I'd rather just use the CART mandatory pit window that turned Hanford device racing at Fontana from a meme where everyone coasted around in 6th gear in a pack trying not to lead into a normal looking race.
>>67565146
I love the guy, I laugh when everyone gets mad that he wins on fuel mileage. Dude knows how to drive and was helping with the Ford GT
>>67565347
Pretty sure that was Milwaukee. That was nice to see him win there. I agree with the call for mandatory pit windows so you don't have the drivers pussy footing around hoping for a yellow.

Some car flipped the barriers at the ring today, couldnt find anything else on this yet. It was on the second to last lap of the race too.

try googling "besweet indycar" before the race starts. he usually has a stream, and someone will probably post it here or in the race thread.

MAD AMX
>>67603172
Cool head for sure.
Also this track does not allow to overtake. See Ric vs Vet with 7laps younger tyres for Ric.
Or if you remember in 2012 Alonso vs Maldonado, exactly the same scenario.
>>67603271

>FEERRRRRRAAAAAARRRRIIII

True. It's almost always usually one of the more boring tracks because of that. Like Hungary before DRS was introduced. Except even with DRS this track still has that problem.

Did they even try using full wets to race? It seems like as soon as some cars put them on they just FCY'd it for the last hour.
>>67606411
Nope.
They just put them on. There was never a discussing for even trying to race again. Nobody proberly raced on FullWets.
