CART cars looked far better than F1 cars in the late 90s and early 2000s.

I hate the drop wings. Attached to the nose wings are the best

Drop noses on pylons can be cool, like the B02/00 Lola. It's just that high-noses are less attractive.

I just watched Tracy plow into Junqueria exiting his pit box during Portland 2001, destroying both of their races and Bruno's car.

Tracy skewering Alex Tagliani in San Jose and then casually ignoring Tag seeking an explanation then getting into a fight is a classic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSmHN_JMiDY "Oh, let's cut away from this fight so we can see the McDonalds car taking a pit stop!" Classic ChampCar era television, that.

I would say it is just iconic and visually distinct for IndyCar, because until The Split (and until CCWS went boom) the turbo cars had developed without airboxes. ...at least they aren't rocking F3 side intakes!

NWS is still holding at 50% rain, but they haven't gone into the detailed forecast yet, so we don't know when they think it'll happen. Mostly cloudy though should help keep the track temp down a bit though.

Cygni posted:IndyCar's site has a bunch of new speedway renders too that arent in that tweet. Looks like the whole car essentially will be identical between speedway and road course, will save the crews a lot of heart ache. Although it looks like they will make the teams buy a separate floor for the speedway car, thats strange. OK, finally remembered to respond to this post at home (was at work on phone, effort posts on phone suck rear end), but if I remember right, the floor was part of the problem as to why Phoenix was bad, so it doesn't surprise me that they're going two different floors. Or at least, one floor that's modular depending on the track. McMadCow posted:What a world we're living in that Indycars look more futuristic than the current F1 formula. Also so much cleaner, though the rear wing definitely feels like it could be picked up and stuck on an F1 car (but no shark fin needed because no airbox!). All the extra aerobits on F1 cars are just... "How did it get to this?!" I mean, I understand CAD is pretty much why it gets so complex, because you need the air to flow a certain way for a certain purpose, and the computer can design pieces to do just that. The end result is the insanely complex front wings, barge boards, and other pieces. Or, to quote another mod that likes racing: quote:Gigi Galli: It's funny, it's like the graphical frame of an F1 car before it fully loads the texture map of all the tiny aero bits Yeah part of it is old woman yells at cloud, but I prefer the simpler aero setups of Indy and old school F1 compared to modern F1.

iospace posted:NWS is still holding at 50% rain, but they haven't gone into the detailed forecast yet, so we don't know when they think it'll happen. Its still too early to be really accurate with timing, but most of the poo poo I have seen is showing a morning rain event with it dying off as it closes in on noon. If so, there is plenty of time to dry the track and race. But again. Its too early to be sure about timing a 2 hour swing in either direction, which is entirely possible, would make a huge difference.
