I knew I should have bet someone here that Marco wouldn't make it out of the 1st round of qualifying, I knew it had to be a lock since he was fast in practice. Marco has yet to make it out of the 1st round all season

I think NBCSN shows qualifying on tape delay so they can pack in as many ads as possible into the program.

Was drinking beer today with mugs and some guy who doesn't even have racing on his radar brought up Alonso coming to the 500.

It's race day! Lots of rain overnight and some this morning, but it's finally starting to clear up. Weather is about 20° cooler today than the rest of the weekend, which will have a big impact on the cars. Many cars are not expected to participate in final warm-up due to wet track conditions and the expectation that the race will be dry.

Nando posted:"We don't talk much there," he said to much laughter in Sunday's news conference. "It's a different world; the only thing that I know is probably what you guys read, because it's what I read as well. Some of them are happy for me, happy for this thing and curious to see how competitive we can be, some others, they are not happy with anything in life. So this was another thing for their own problems. It's OK. I think, different world."

Is this indicative of Andretti reliability? Will My Alonso be at a higher than average risk of suffering mechanical failure when he wins the Indy 500 at the first attempt?

What happened to Chip Ganassi? I remember they were the time to beat at Champ. That series still exists?

Champ Car and IndyCar merged in 2008. Ganassi jumped to Indy some years before that (2003, I think) and is still a top team. This is actually the first year they're not running the red Target livery.

It's like DRS but they are limited on how many times it can be used.

DoctorGonzo posted:its like DRS or it gives more power to the car? From what I understand it's DRS but you can use it whenever you want for a maximum of 200 seconds per race and instead of it being a rear wing flap it's just added boost.

It's like KERS in that it gives drivers additional on-demand power for passing. It's not like KERS in that there's no energy recovery or anything like that. The engines are tuned down slightly for the race, only to give (true) full power when the P2P button is pressed.
