I'm sorry Leigh but I'm just not going to sit here and pity Dixon for not winning at this particular track.

Well, that was actually relatively fun to watch. I can't remember the last time I watched an IndyCar race from start to finish and I do watch more than just F1 but never gave IndyCar a second glance. As long as you look past the American Exceptionalism which tries to shroud that this is a bunch of terrible and washed-up drivers in heavy ugly cars and seemingly implies this is some sort of top-tier series then, yeah, it's a lot of fun. I think I'll be watching the next race as well which hopefully will be more indicative of the coverage vs. an extended interview of Actually Good Racing Driver in the booth. NBC's graphics are atrocious. Is there an alternative? Also, I've only been just exposed to this man but gently caress Townsend Bell forever. What an atrocious person and I hate listening to him. Thanks for having me, IndyCar thread.

It was actually fun to watch this Indy race and Barber looks like a really fun track. And, yeah, Lance Stroll is terrible along with a bunch of other drivers in F1. Not sure where I said Lance Stroll in particular was some sort of good driver but sorry if you guys misunderstood. If you guys enjoy other forms of motorsport I heartily recommend the new generation of rally cars in WRC, along with WEC, GP2, MotoGP, Moto2 & 3 and Super GT. Also, V8 Supercars in Australia is a great series, too.

I have a twitter friend who's a massive v8 fan fro Austin Texas of all things. I have enjoyed what i've seen of WEC, and GP2..it's just drat rare for them to broadcast in the states. (Amusing note? Was hilarious to meet Conor Daly a week after he ran in Hungary at Mid Ohio to do some spotting for a friend doing Indy Lights) Wirth1000 posted:Well, that was actually relatively fun to watch.

Lot of those guys actually started out over here rather than deal with a lot of the politics overseas. Very hard to make it in F1 under it's current environment.

Interesting and super positive note from BarberIndyCar posted:Barber officials announced a three-day attendance of 82,745, which equated to a ticket revenue increase of more than 10 percent from last year. This seems to be a trend lately, I know St Pete had record attendance this year too

Barber is one of my fav races of the year now. Beautiful track and great racing.

Are there many tracks where taking the outside line is a legit passing strategy, like turn 5 at Barber? Seems as if going outside there is almost as successful as going inside, especially with turn 8 going back to the right.

I remember when it first went on the schedule everyone was worried it would be a processional with no passing. I can't remember a race that hasn't had loads of good moves, though.
