Mark's WEC crash in Brazil a few years back was when he began to think enough was enough. A part of me will always be angry at Lotus for loving up Alesi's only Indy start.

Webber participates in the 500, his car inexplicably takes flight, plows into the Snake Pit, Daily Mail gets to run a headline reading "Zedd's Dead, Baby." I think it's best for everyone if he sticks to retirement.

Plus he's a Bogan so there's risk of him drinking milk out of his boot. I certainly don't want to see that.

If Kimi won, everyone would be all "HOLY poo poo, KIMI WON!  "e: dammit, this is Indy, not F1. F1 chat please return to its proper thread for the time being.

They had one running somewhere around pace speed at Phoenix before the race. At low speeds, it was easily the quietest car by far. Wish they would've wound it up, though.

Here we go again: quote:Mark Miles, CEO of IndyCar’s parent company Hulman & Company, says there are ongoing talks between IndyCar and Chinese group Mitime about not only a new race but also developing motorsports in China.

Agreed and/or same. I'm really hoping the Calgary race comes together, since I have crash space with some friends up there, which would make the overall weekend cost super affordable.

Why do they keep trying to try to make this race happen? How many North American venues would bring the crowds, and bring a permanent spot on the calender versus trying to make this "Work"? Not to mention there's like...3 places outside of North America that would be a success for IndyCar. I mean at this point, wouldn't it be better to beg Honda,Firestone to run a race in Japan? Try to find a way to parlay the success of Dixon, Power, and (even Briscoe) to run Australia? Get on your hands and knees to run Interlagos?

they want to get paid to run somewhere in the offseason. if it's enough money, teams are all for it even if nobody watches. past problems with china have been, well, they didn't pay. with recent events, I imagine they won't put it on the schedule until the last check clears.

Ugh this Monterrey track is stinkarooni. Also I question Ganassi's firing of Vasser in favour of Minassian.

Speaking of TK, Pigot's ride with Juncos for the 500 is confirmed, the number and green is reminiscent of the TK 7-11 days. https://twitter.com/SpencerPigot/status/861978099600289793

Huh, guess Kaiser didn't get ride after all. It's probably better for Juncos to not have another rookie on the team, though.
